The Following Tear Ahead Horoscopes Were Found:


1st January 2003 - 31st December 2003

GENERAL

During the last two and a half years you have not only had to contend with Pluto but also Saturn so the news that this censorious planet is to move out of the area of relationships (3rd June) should be greeted with whoops of joy. Of course, this does not mean that you can throw out of the window all those lessons you learned the hard way but it does imply that your path through life will be less strewn with obstacles. Pluto continues to be a force to be reckoned with, especially for 8th - 12th December birthdays and if you still don’t know what Pluto does, think about the last time someone stormed into your life and turned it upside down. Pluto helps you fulfil your destiny but this is rarely achieved in fun times and almost always through a ring of fire. The periods of 2003 during which Pluto is at his transformational best are: 3rd - 17th March, 5th - 15th June, 3rd - 12th September and 23rd November - 13th December.

Your ruler, Jupiter, is on great form throughout 2003. Until late August this planet will be gracing the ninth house of long-distance matters, so you will be able to indulge in one of Sagittarius’s favourite pastimes - travel - and there could be some exciting professional and personal opportunities arising from far afield. Certainly, the combination of Saturn’s move into Cancer and Jupiter’s position in Leo should give you back your optimism and revive your love of new territory, whether of the literal or metaphorical variety. From late August Jupiter will bring his expansive influence to bear on career matters, enabling some Archers to rise to eminence and in general helping you make the most of your talents.

Paradoxically, finances continue to require careful handling. Business partnerships still have Saturn to contend with so other people can still make life very difficult for you - generosity and fair play are not necessarily what others have in mind. Financial risks should not be taken and borrowings should be kept to a manageable level. Provided you know you can cover all your bases without the support of others you will be fine.

The eclipses of 31st May and 23rd November focus on your sign and these periods of the year are likely to be ones when the big decisions are made and the seeds of major events in the future are sown. I will, of course, be expanding on the implication of these eclipses a little nearer the time in my weekly column. However, if you are putting together plans for events in 2003 it’s probably advisable to avoid the weekends of the 15th February, 31st May and 22nd November.

LOVE

The presence of two lunar eclipses on the relationship axis of your horoscope (31st May and 23rd November) means you are no longer able to act unilaterally - other people can and will have a big effect on where you go from here. In some cases these eclipses signal the arrival of a new and compelling attraction but in others the end of the line for a relationship has been reached. June, November and December all contain life-defining moments and relationship turning points.

Key Dates:

STAR PERIODS: 19th April - 8th May, 14th - 22nd August

BLACK HOLES: 9th - 15th June, 21st November - 12th December



1st January 2004 - 31st December 2004

General

The last couple of years have probably taught you all you wanted to know and more about patience and suffering. But although 2004 is a vastly improved year you will only make the most of it by acting on the lessons you have learned. This is a year of major life moves and big additions to the home base. It is also a year when your priorities change, due to the impact other people and events in their lives have on you. The November Archers get to make the biggest break-throughs - and experience more of the upheaval in the process - but thanks to Uranus your whole sign gets to wake up and smell the coffee at some point in the year. In a nutshell 2004 is the springboard to bigger and better things.

Love and Relationships

You’ll get more support this year and relationships should deepen and prosper. However, some Sagittarians are more than ready to make their exit from partnerships they have outgrown - February, May and August all contain liberating moments. Venus, the planet of love and relating, transits the area of marriage between 20th March and 6th August, encouraging new romantic unions and weddings. If a relationship takes a backward turn in late May and June, it may well right itself by late summer, and in general your love life will benefit from a policy of less drama, more serenity .

Money and Work

Even though your prospects have improved there still appears to be a go-slow on finances: this may be because partners are experiencing money difficulties or that your investments or dealings with financial institutions are fraught with delays and difficulties. Patience will eventually pay off but not without a cash-flow crisis or two - watch May and July. By contrast Jupiter’s passage through the area of career and life-direction brings success, promotion, even fame to one or two Archers.

Go Dates: 27th February, 20th March, 11th April, 13th August, 20th September, 24th December

Slow Dates: 20th February, 28th March, 24th April, 3rd June, 13th September, 11th December




1st January 2005 - 30th June 2005

General

In 2005 your adventurous and philosophical qualities will be needed in equal supply. There will be changes a-plenty and new frontiers to cross yet your passport to happiness and success will be stamped with unexpected detours, one of which may arise in the first or last week of January. Mid-March and early-mid June are similarly challenging yet ultimately liberating periods. The big growth areas are creative endeavours, collaborations and friendships. Indeed, although freedom and independence are the Archer's crie-de-coeur, you'll learn the advantages of team work and togetherness in 2005. Another theme for the year is making your mark, whether in regard to personal triumphs or professional achievement.

Love

Unless you are under Pluto in 2005 (and if you have a 12th - 17th December birthday that means you) companionship takes precedence over passion. And whenever your birthday, your love life will thrive if you treat your other half as you would a best friend: expect your partner to fulfil your romantic dreams, and you're on the road to misery. Uranus is another factor to work with, especially with a November and early December birthday: giving spouses and lovers their space is one recommendation, being prepared to totally rewrite your relationship script is another. May and October are the months with the mostest - most romance and most unpredictability.

Money and Work

You stand to gain more fulfilment and creative satisfaction from work in 2005. The theme of team-work is strongest here, and some Sagittarians will go into business with a friend, or become involved in an endeavour with friends. Financial institutions will not bend over backwards to help you until the second half of the year, so keep your costs down until the end of August. The late November Archers are front of the queue when it comes to career or job location changes, and in general this is a year to acquire computer skills and put technology before tradition.

Home and Family

2005 is a year of transition, especially for the mid-December birthdays - where you will be at the end of it will be miles away from where you began, whether we're talking about your surroundings or the content of your life. You are breaking with the past this year - no longer are you prepared to put up with those things and those ways that not longer work - and events themselves will act as catalysts to the new and the different. Your creative juices will be flowing, which in some cases results in a new member of the family. May and June are months for big productions of one sort or another.

FAB DATES: 5th February, 1st April, 17th May, 14th August, 7th October, 1st December.
DRAB DATES: 25th February, 10th March, 24th May, 14th June, 16th September, 15th December.




1st January 2006 - 30th May 2006

General

Preparation and looking to the long term may not initially strike you as the seeds of a great year, but you'd be wrong. The contacts you make, the projects you start and the self-discipline you muster will pave the way for Jupiter to heap success and joy on your plate in 2007 - a year when preparation meets opportunity. You'll get results in 2006 too, and you'll be helped by organizations that or people who are based far away. Do your best to avoid legal proceedings and consult reliable professionals when it comes to signing documents or dealing with bureaucracy. 1st - 5th December birthdays are most subject to Uranian diversions and detours while the 16th - 18th birthdays are going to see the biggest life changes - 14th March, 16th June, 17th September and 20th December are outstanding in this context.

Love

Pluto's passage through your sign is nearly at an end so the tumult that has been caused by affairs of the heart is beginning to be a thing of the past. However, this planet has changed you, and it may yet take another two to three years before you find what you are seeking in the sense of contentment and stability. The aforementioned trend for preparation and self-discipline is as much a part of your happiness in love as it is your overall success story, and it seems those born under the sign of Cancer and Pisces are best equipped to help you in your voyage of self-discovery. Late June to late July is a premium time for romance and marriage; late November to mid-December another.

Money and Work

Forget all about short-term solutions and focus on long-term achievement. During the next two years you can build up your reputation as a serious contender for the top jobs, and you will benefit enormously from acquiring extra skills, even letters behind your name. Think tortoise as opposed to hare when it comes to both jobs and money. The eclipses of 14 March and 7th and 17th September are likely to have the biggest effect on your material and professional situation, and it is around these times that make or break events occur. Be cautious with finances, never getting in over your head, and avoid going into business with friends and colleagues.

Home and Family

Uranus is a mischief-maker wherever he focuses his attentions, and since 2003 this planet has been beavering away at home base, causing you to feel restless at best and necessitating many family/property changes at worst. Especially if you have a late November or early December birthday this trend for the unexpected will be particularly marked this year, and while moving house or splitting the family atom may prove a resounding success, do not expect to feel settled and serene. Being progressive in your attitude and with your taste is recommended, and if you are planning some structural work at home, make sure you have covered all legal loopholes - people who work for you may prove unreliable. There could also be some surprise additions to the family nest.




1st January 2007 - 31st December 2007

General

You may be the zodiac's greatest optimist and philosopher but during the last couple of years your faith in the future may have been severely tested. Not this year though. Jupiter, your ruler, and planet of abundance, transits your sign until December, restoring your spirits and spreading good fortune. You will be slaking your thirst for adventure and travel and you will have the courage and drive to start new ventures and associations. Indeed, 2007 is the time to push the boat out in all directions, just as long as the intention is to make your life bigger and better. Pluto will be at work transforming the lives of the 17th-21st December Archers and whenever your birthday this planet will bring out your best and worst on or near the 19th of March, June, September and December. Uranus is a prime-mover for the 5th - 9th December Archers, and for all this planet will be evoking big changes in early March and late August.

Love

When you feel happy there's no better person to be with in a relationship, but when you're frustrated or weighed down by problems, it's a whole other story. And this may well be the fundamental reason why relationships have been a battleground recently or you have been on your lonesome own-some. This pattern could change dramatically in 2007, and some Archers will be setting the date after a New Year's Eve proposal or planning a big adventure with their partner at that time. If you are in the aforementioned birthday groups because you are changing at core level, you may find you are outgrowing your partner or feeling the need for greater independence: you have choice here so do your best not to burn your bridges in a moment of frustration. Mid-April to mid-May is a quite spectacular period for love and romance.

Money and Work

Your entrepreneurial spirit will be in full flow, so even if you remain in the same job, you could be looking to take on new challenges or developing a small business idea/creative project of your own. People will be impressed by your confidence and you will be wielding an aura of success that will help you gain promotion and backing. The eclipses of March and September promise to make the biggest impact on your professional life, with sudden vacancies vaulting some Sagittarians into prominence and forcing others to look elsewhere for employment. 2007 is a year to speculate to accumulate so if you do not achieve overnight success, please be patient enough to keep sowing seeds and networking intensively. Results will come in 2008.

Home and Family

Rome wasn't built in a day, as they say, and you will need to be patient with family members who seem to be doing anything but what will serve them (and you) well. The younger generation will be straining at their leashes, and offspring at university may suddenly decide to change course or leave. And the older generation could prove wilful and a mite concerning at times too. Also, getting your home to look as you would like, and in some cases moving where you want, will tax your patience, although you will get there in the end. You need your independence this year, and with such an emphasis on travel, you will enjoy a trip with your other half or with a close friend. One way or another, you'll cover a huge amount of ground in 2007.




1st July 2008 - 31st December 2008

GENERAL

Pluto is spending its final weeks in your sign and in keeping with this planet's theme of elimination and renewal you are tying up loose ends in more that one area of life, and out of those situations that finish, there will be new beginnings next year. You may feel the need already to revisit people and places that still hold a place in your heart or with whom you need to experience closure. On the other hand, old feelings may be stirred by new people and developing situations. The 10th July, 23rd August and 13th September have a life-changing aura about them, so these are the dates around which to watch your step with people you need and to take your biggest leaps of faith. Altogether a summer of memories in the making.

LOVE

A passionate and giving person, sometimes you fight shy of intimacy – something the summer intends to set to rights. These months bring you closer to a partner and encourage you to make time for love; single Archers could find themselves drawn to someone in a mystical way, and for a few an intense sexual encounter could be the catalyst to great change on all fronts, including an existing relationship. Late August-early September marks a premium time for weddings and for making big relationship decisions. Nonetheless, if the summer goes by and nothing of romantic note happens, keep your sights trained on November/December.

WORK AND FINANCE

This has been a mixed year for you in these areas. Saturn's transit of the career zone promises a rise in status yet it also makes you wait for success and puts you through the wringer. Pluto and Jupiter in the area of finance augur a boom-bust cycle on the one hand, yet improvements, if not riches, on the other. And all these trends are most noticeable in late August and early September. If you are already suspicious that a job may be short-lived it may not survive the combined force of Uranus and Pluto at these times, so Plan B should be in place by the end of July. Nevertheless, Jupiter's protective influence in the money zone should see you through any cash-flow crises, and onto greater things.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

It's a good job you like to act on the spur of the moment and that you are not fixed in your expectations because it seems anything-goes this summer. Last minute holidays will prove to be the most enjoyable, however, this is probably not the year to attempt bungee-jumping and hang-gliding – keep your pursuits relatively risk-free. Some Sagittarians will be moving house while others will be doing major home repairs. News of a marital rift in the extended family may prove to be the talking point of the summer and please don't expect to keep a lid on any elephant-in-the-living room situations. The periods around the 6th and 23rd August could cause any simmering volcanoes to erupt.


1st January 2008 - 31st July 2008

General

A year of steady progress lies ahead. You're building on the new beginnings you made in 2007 and adding to your stock both in terms of finance and achievements. A big theme for the year is balancing the desire for change against the need to hold close those things that have proved their worth over the years. A delicate balance, perhaps, but one you can achieve. Pluto will temporarily exit your sign from late January until mid- June giving the 17th - 20th December birthdays an opportunity to regroup while the 8th-14th birthdays will still have to cope with a degree of Uranian uncertainty. The total eclipse of 21 February heralds the end of a chapter, especially for the November Archers, making March one of the most challenging yet rewarding periods of 2008. January is your best month; June the most volatile.

Love

The more you value yourself the more other people will value you - an aphorism that you will embrace this year. Single Sagittarians have attracted more than their share of commitment-phobics in the past but this is a trend set to change due to your increased sense of self-worth. January could bring a new partner to your side (possibly with Cancerian or Capricornian qaulities) and late May to mid-June and October/November are other premium times for finding Mr Right and righting ancient wrongs. Those of you already in long-term relationships will benefit from a sense of greater intimacy with your partner, although if you fall into any of the above mentioned birthday-groups you could be prone to the rift-and-reconciliation syndrome.

Money and Work

Saturn entered the area of career and life goals last September so you are only just beginning to experience the advantages and disadvantages to this transit. There could be early retirement for some and a rise to a senior position for others, and in general the next two years produce rewards for years of effort. However, you will also discover which of your goals is unrealistic and where your energies have been misplaced. Late February, March, late August and early to mid September are all times of volatility and change on the job front. Fortunately, Jupiter is helping you make money and do good things financially so whatever changes may occur regarding career will not pull the fiscal rug out from beneath your feet.

Home and Lifestyle

With Uranus still in charge of the home zone, life continues to be unsettling: you may feel as though you want to break away but responsibilities are tying you down. There could be rebellious family members challenging your authority or seniors draining your energy and time, but you have the gravitas to cope with any such problems as Saturn is lending you an air of authority this year. A change of home could be on the cards for the 10th-14th December birthdays and domestic alterations for all. Another plus is travel: you'll visit places you've never seen before and people you meet on journeys or in foreign lands could become a big part of your life.




1st January 2009 - 30th June 2009

GENERAL

Last year changed a lot of things for you, with the result that you are ready to spread your wings and explore new horizons. Now, this may manifest as a year of travel or a period in which you are seeking to find a new niche for yourself, professionally, personally – every which way. It may take until October before you feel you have put enough distance between yourself and the past but progress will have been made. March and September are the most dynamic yet challenging months and May is the most fun. Education and the acquisition of new skills are major trends for the year and you may well take a much more active role in 'saving the planet'. (Your ideals are stronger than ever.) Avoid, if possible, taking legal action and don't allow a small disagreement to escalate. Be the peace-maker at all times and you'll be the winner.

LOVE

Passionate encounters may suit the commitment-shy Sagittarian but after a bout of Pluto, you're ready for the quiet life. You've learned a lot and discovered that what you need more than fireworks in the bedroom is someone who can share your spirit of adventure yet be constant and true. And, at last, you are on your way to finding such a person – or recognizing that is precisely who you have by your side. The already strong theme of travel and widening horizons will be just as evident in your love-life – honeymoons, romantic trips and powerful attractions on distant soil could be all part of 2009's romantic story. Avoid giving an ultimatum in March but July is the perfect month to fall in love and make the ties that bind. And the sign with the mostest for you this year – Aquarius.

MONEY AND WORK

Saturn and Uranus will be flanking the axis of career and life-direction during 2009 so although you are exiting a long-period of instability there is still no guarantee that you'll find what you're looking for in terms of job satisfaction and remuneration, at least just yet. Be conservative in your expectations and mindful that these are not times in which to throw your weight around. Some Sagittarians will rise to a leading position while others will be dealing with very uncertain conditions in the work-place, and opting for a temporary position as opposed to a long-term contract could be the best way forward. Cash will be king in 2009, so do your best to free up as much money as you can. And if you hit a monetary pothole, don't panic, but negotiate, negotiate.




1st July 2005 - 31st December 2005

GENERAL

The summer brings you out of your shell - yes, I know that's a strange place for outgoing Sag to be, but either through work or the stresses and strains of life you've not been having much fun for the past few months. June to end-September finds you more socially -oriented: there could be some big social occasions to attend and you may make a nostalgic journey, either in the sense of returning to an old haunt or reconnecting with an old friend. June is the most challenging month of the summer, with September a close second, and especially if you have an early or mid-December birthday an out of the blue offer or development could send you in a whole new direction.

LOVE

Love has a lot in common with buses: for a while nothing appears then suddenly you're inundated. And this trend is very alive and well during the summer. June puts relationships centre stage, and although you may prefer to be calling all the shots, someone else has the upper hand: goal-posts will be moved and simmering issues will come to a head - and probably on or near the 1st or 14th June. Some Sagittarians, especially the mid-December group, are more than ready for a deep and passionate connection but with such relationships come a degree of upheaval. You're in a learning curve with love, and it has a lot to do with acquiring tolerance, compassion and patience.

WORK AND FINANCE

While I am not urging you to forget your responsibilities and lose track of your finances, I do believe it's time you took the pedal off the metal and stopped making such heavy demands on yourself. Until September, the stars are determined that you travel, enjoy life and put family and relationships before career and making ends meet. However, come September, you have work to do. Uranus and Pluto force you to confront the unworkable and the ill-conceived: put another way, if you've run out of road with a job, or your financial planning has some serious errors, a new way forward will have to found.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

Once you stop draining your energies, you'll generate a calmer atmosphere on the home front and the family will be the fun people you know and love. This is not the ideal summer to embark on major renovation or removal schemes, but it is the time to let others do their own thing without your feeling you have to be permanently resident in the control-tower! Holidays spent in places with some history about them will prove the happiest, and there could be a long journey made in connection with an older member of the family or a distant relative. The weekend of 17th September looks to be memorable, and this is the ideal moment in which to bury the past, firmly and absolutely.




1st July 2006 - 31st December 2006

GENERAL

Very little has come easily this year, and you are going to have to keep your eyes trained on 2007 when one or more of your ships will surely come in. Nonetheless. September's dynamic alignments could prove to be the springboard to future happy events, and if you've been considering a job change or a home move mid-to-late September contains a series of green lights. As for the earlier part of the summer, August should find you on a road trip or visiting distant places, and not only will travel give you a whole new perspective on what you want in life, but you will find more success and appreciation away from home territory.

LOVE

You are putting in the building blocks of the future, and not just in regard to relationships. July produces the biggest marital and romantic highs and lows, although September with its two eclipses (14th and 29th) could shake up a long-established pattern of life. You may also find that a relationship begun in March, or decisions made at that time, reveals its true potential this summer. This period of the year is all about your place in the world, and what you can do to achieve prominence and success, so many of the relationship issues that arise revolve around whether you have (or you can find) someone who can share your visions, even help you make it to the top.

WORK AND FINANCE

You have a wonderful attitude to money - you feel prosperous, therefore you spend, and most of the time the law of plenty serves you well. However, you would do even better to watch your spending between now and mid-November, because there will be reasons to dig deep into your pockets from then on. Be particularly careful of investments or large purchases made on international soil: keep your money close to home for the time being. Where career is concerned, this year you have a real chance of gaining the respect you deserve, and therefore being given jobs with power and responsibility. August is a key month in this process - results are in, and if you've not reached your targets, don't give up but regroup and try again. Use the summer to get you back on track.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

It's a good job that you're a sign that likes change and the unusual because with planet Uranus in residence in your home zone, consistency and continuity are hard to come by at the moment. This summer favours doing things that are different: a holiday with the family should have an adventurous content, and the less baggage you take with you, in every sense of the phrase, the better! If you are trying to buy and sell a property, don't expect the process to be smooth - hold ups and back-tracking are particularly likely in August. Especially if you have a 3rd or 18th December birthday, September sees planned changes taking place, yet this is also a month in which circumstances beyond your control affect your timetable and lifestyle.
