Your career planet (Neptune) makes a major move out of Aquarius, where it has been for 14 years or so, and moves into Pisces. This shows a change in career attitudes and approach.
Finance was not a big issue last year, and neither is it a big issue in the coming year. You seem satisfied with the status quo.
Two eclipses in your 1st house shows an interest in personal reinvention – transforming the body and the image into what you want them to be. Perhaps you have only been studying these things intellectually, but the eclipses will force you to put these teachings into practice.
Saturn has been in your 5th house for over a year now and will be there for all of 2011. You need to discipline your creativity – be more detailed and organized with it. Your creative projects will work if you make them practical and useful to others. Just ‘pie in the sky’ self-expression won’t do. Those of you with children have had to take on extra responsibilities with them. There has been a need to learn how to apply correct (proper) discipline.
Jupiter will enter your 12th house of spirituality on June 4. Thus the latter part of the year is going to be very spiritual. It is a period for inner growth, for going on religious pilgrimages, meditating and making a deeper connection with the Divine within you. In many cases it shows a greater involvement in charities and causes – selfless kinds of activities.
Your areas of greatest interest in 2011 will be children, fun and creativity; personal transformation, reinvention, occult studies; religion, philosophy, higher education, foreign travel (from January 1 to April 4 and from August 5 to December 31); career; friendships, groups, group activities, science, technology, organizations; spirituality (from June 4 onwards).
Your paths of greatest fulfilment this year are sex, personal transformation and reinvention, occult studies (until March 4); love and romance (from March 4 onwards); career (until January 22); friendships, groups, group activities, science, technology, astrology (from January 22 to June 4); spirituality (from June 4 onwards).
Health
(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference: these perspectives were identical. But these days, there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)
Health is steadily improving. Last year should have been better than 2009 and 2011 will be better than 2010. Jupiter and Uranus were making stressful aspects to you most of last year, and this year they start to make harmonious aspects. Most of the long-term planets are either in harmonious aspect or leaving you alone. (The only exception is Neptune, which starts to make stressful aspects from April 4 to August 5.)
Your overall energy is coming back to its usual standard. You are disease resistant. Your constitution is strong. Sure, there will be periods this year where health is less easy than usual (February 18 to March 20, August 22 to September 22 and November 22 to December 21) – but these things are temporary. When the difficult transits pass, your naturally good health returns.
Those of you who have been having health problems should hear good news this year.
Your 6th house of health is basically empty this year (only the short-term planets will move through this house, and only briefly). I read this as a positive health indicator. You don’t pay too much attention to health because you don’t need to.
Good though your health is, you can make it even better. This is done by paying more attention to the following organs:
Lungs, arms, shoulders and respiratory system (regular arm and shoulder massage is good)
Colon, bladder and sexual organs (safe sex and sexual moderation is always important for you)
Spine, knees, teeth, bones and overall skeletal alignment (regular back massage and visits to a chiropractor or osteopath are good; give your knees more support when you exercise)
Gall bladder.
Pluto is your health planet. In the physical body Pluto rules the colon, bladder and sexual organs – hence their importance in your overall health.
Pluto rules your health from the sign of Capricorn. Capricorn is associated with the spine, knees, bones, skeletal structure and alignment – hence the importance of these areas this year.
Pluto rules surgery and detox regimes. Both these procedures involve ‘getting rid’ of something from the body that doesn’t belong there. This is the essence of Pluto – it is not about ‘adding’ things to the body (minerals, vitamins, supplements) but merely getting rid of what doesn’t belong there. A detox will often accomplish the same thing as surgery, though it takes longer.
Pluto rules your health from the 8th house, which only reinforces what we have said about detox, safe sex, and sexual moderation.
There are two eclipses in your 1st house this year. This suggests the detox of the physical body and the re-thinking of your image, personal appearance and self-concept (how you think about yourself, how you want others to think about you and see you).
Home and Family
Your 4th house of home and family is not a ‘house of power’ this year, thus this tends to the status quo. You have great freedom with your home and family situation, but you lack the interest necessary to make dramatic changes.
If you are planning major repairs or construction in the home, November 10 to the end of the year is a good time. If you are planning to buy objects of beauty (paintings, antiques, drapes and the like), August 21 to September 23 is a good time. This period is also good for entertaining from home.
Finance and Career
Money per se is not a big issue for you. Other things have been more important to you – your career, your status, your prestige, your social and professional standing. Your 2nd house – your money house – is not a ‘house of power’ this year. You seem basically content and have no need to make dramatic changes.
With Jupiter still in your 10th house until January 22, you are likely to get promotions and pay rises. You have probably already factored it in to your financial thinking and planning.
One of the problems with a weak money house is lack of interest and attention. If you have a financial weakness, this is it. You may not be giving this area the attention it deserves. A solar eclipse on July 1 (and two lunar eclipses this year) will shake things up a bit and force you to pay attention and to make the changes and adjustments that you need to make.
The Moon is your financial planet. While this gives you good financial intuition – something you need to listen to more, as you tend to be too logical – it also makes you a creature of mood when it comes to finances. Bad moods or strong negative emotions will cloud your financial judgement.
The Moon is the fastest moving of all the planets, travelling through all the signs and houses of your horoscope every month. Therefore, earnings and financial opportunities tend to come to you in all kinds of ways and from all kinds of people.
Career, as mentioned, has been fabulous – a very exciting area of life for a number of years. Your aspects are still good early in the year, but your interest here is waning. Neptune, your career planet, is getting ready to move into his own sign and house – at the top of your horoscope. This year he flirts with your 10th house (will be there from April 4 to August 5, before returning to the 9th house), but next year he will move in for good. Now you are getting a foretaste of things to come. You are called upon to take more responsibility, to be a better manager, to learn to use authority wisely and justly.
