2008 Astro predictions for all Zodiacs
Applying your mind, not your muscle!
Overcoming obstacles is your major task for 2008, Aries, and the passage of Pluto into Capricorn will definitely throw a few impediments in your path. And these hurdles could involve all departments of life – love, career, money, family, hobbies, etc. The worst thing you can do is to let Pluto get the best of you – but with you that’s not an option. You’ll plunge right in and go for whatever it is you want. But watch yourself. Remember that you tend to rush in where angels fear to tread. Acting in a rash and impulsive way could hurt your endeavors more than help them. Slow down and use your wits rather than adrenalin to make progress toward attaining your goals.

It’s actually happening!
Have you ever dreamed of skyrocketing to the top of the heap overnight? Possibly, Taurus, but you’re patient, and thus never depended on it. Yet it may finally happen to you, whether you’ve counted on it or not. In 2008, the passage of both Jupiter and Pluto through Capricorn could make even your wildest dreams come true – and it might take you a while to grasp that it actually has happened to you. It’s inadvisable, however, to remain for very long in this fugue of disbelief. At some point, you’re going to have to stand up and charge on ahead like a good Bull. You’re going to want to keep this momentum going – and a good way to do this is to plan carefully all the way.
There’s no stopping you!
Reaching your goals should be easier in 2008 than it has been in previous years, Gemini. The Grand Air Trine involving Mars in your sign, the Moon in Libra, and Neptune in Aquarius strengthens your mental quickness and in-depth thinking – thus improving your ingenuity. You’ll be able to come up with new ideas and plans much more quickly – and thus reach whatever goals you want to attain faster than you’d ever thought possible. The difficulty may lie in making snap decisions too quickly. It’s important to arrive at a happy medium: the ability to think and move quickly without compromising quality or good sense. You can do it – with a little encouragement.
Embracing the unknown
Prepare yourself for a tough year, Cancer. With Pluto, planet of transformation, along with Jupiter passing through Capricorn, your opposite sign, even the simplest of tasks could seem like climbing Mt. Everest. The fact is that transformation in one kind or another comes to all of us, and resistance is futile. And if we are to succeed in building a more highly evolved Earth, we all need to transform. Yet for you, your present condition is what you’re used to, and even if you know what’s ahead should be better, you may, consciously or unconsciously, sabotage your own progress. The secret lies in not fearing the unknown, but in embracing it.
Slow down and smell the roses
If you thought you’d had busy years before, Leo, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. This year, you’re going to have so many projects going that you may not have time to breathe. And since they all mean a lot to you, you have no idea which, if any, you should slow down on. You may turn into one of those irritating go-getters whom you almost never see without a cell phone glued to one year. Yet whether you like the idea or not, there are going to be times when you’ll have to prioritize. You’ll have to choose which of your projects is most important to you – and then act accordingly.
Confidence through planning
Do you feel blocked on all sides? Whenever you’re working on an important project, does it always seem as if you make a great start – only to have your enterprise derailed in a humiliating way? This is not due to any shortcomings on your part, friend Virgo. You are a meticulous and dedicated worker. But Saturn, planet of obstacles, is passing through your sign and opposing Uranus, planet of upsets. And unfortunately, it will remain in your sign until November of 2009. Don’t be discouraged, however. You can get past this by having Plan B and Plan C both in place before you even start the project – and so you can feel more confident about your success from the very beginning.
Expanding in all directions
Libra, you start off the year with an advantage that most other signs don’t have: Mars in Gemini trine the Moon in Libra trine Neptune in Aquarius. This strongly indicates a year dominated by creativity and artistic endeavors, AND metaphysical and spiritual studies. Whether you work and study quietly on your own or in groups with other enthusiasts, you’ll make great progress, and as a result feel better about yourself. You’ll also be successful in your career – and therein might lie the rub. At the start of the year, the Sun, Jupiter, and Mercury will all be in Capricorn, egging you on, tantalizing you with the specter of achievement, and tempting you to abandon the pursuits you love the most. But remember: Libra is the sign of balance.
For you, silent Scorpio, 2008 points the way towards career and financial success. New Year’s Day finds your sign surrounded by benefic influences affecting your job. Venus, planet of money, will be in Sagittarius, passing through your money sector; the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter will all be conjunct in Capricorn, in your house of communication. And with persistent Saturn in Virgo in your goal sector, you aren’t likely to stop pushing yourself until you’ve reached at least a few of your goals – and possibly not even then. It’s important, however, that you channel almost as much effort into your personal life as well. No matter how successful you are, what good is it if there’s no one around to share it with you? Make the effort to stay in touch.
Kindred spirits, crowded house
With Venus, planet of love, and Pluto, planet of passion, both in your sign at the start of the year, love and romance will take first priority with you in 2008. The additional influence of the intense, emotional Moon in Libra and romantic Neptune in Aquarius bodes very well for a happy and lasting love relationship. Travel together is strongly indicated – and not just to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving. You could climb the Himalayas, or take a boat trip down the Nile, or go skiing in the Alps. But before you can do that, you need to work hard and earn enough money to keep your present lifestyle as well as pay travel expenses. The presence of the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter all in your money sector can spur you on
Balancing career, love, and life
Capricorn, 2008 could well be one of the most successful years of your life. With your ruler, Saturn, high in the sky and connecting beautifully with the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter all in your sign, you should enjoy career progress comparable to the speed of a winner at NASCAR. But you could find yourself leaving your loved ones behind. Make time to go to movies, or take the children in your life to the park. Go with your beloved one to a quiet little restaurant so the two of you can have some alone time. Also, make time for yourself, so that you can contemplate the beauty of the Earth that you love so very much.
Finally the fog is lifting
For the past two years, Aquarius, Saturn has been opposing Neptune in your sign. Thus your thoughts have been clouded, and confusion may have interfered with your progress on all levels – professional, personal, spiritual, creative, etc. By the first of the year, however, Saturn will have moved into Virgo and become settled there – and will remain in that sign until November of 2009. And at the first of the year, with the Moon in Libra, the sign of balance, you just might find the veil pulling to one side, and things may become clearer to you. And that includes your own goals. People have always been more important to you than possessions, but this year you just might be able to have both.
Two steps forward, one step back
2008 might be one of the most demanding years of your life, Pisces. With Saturn, planet of obstacles, opposing Uranus, planet of upset, you could find your progress on all levels going in fits and starts. One moment something you’ve been wanting could seem to be totally out of your reach. Then, as you progress towards attaining that goal, you could get VERY close – only to have it snatched away. The secret to getting past this, however, is to have several goals that are equally important to you, and not become too attached to any one of them. And keep your progress close to you, telling only your closest companions, and sometimes not even them. That way, you won’t have to explain anything.
Enjoy have a great Year ahead !
