What is your rising sign or ascendant? It is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon (corresponding to the cusp or beginning of your first house in your chart) on the day you were born. For instance, when I was born in Libra, the sign on the horizon was also Libra, so nothing changes for me - I am a true Libran. My husband, Alan, who is also a Libra, was born with the sign of Scorpio on his horizon, and he tends to show far more Scorpio energy than his Libran energy. Do you know your rising sign? If you do not know your rising sign you can find this out from your natal chart, available Here from The Maitreya Learning and Healing Center in Seattle, USA.
Pisces 2010 (February 19 to March 19)
Pisces people are very sensitive, creative, and imaginative. They are normally very compassionate. Because of their sensitivity, they easily feel for people and for their surroundings, both positive and negative. Sometimes it maybe too much for them to cope with or they may be confused because they cannot tell whether what they are feeling theirs or is something they just picked up from others. They may have the tendency to escape from the world and stay in their dreamy state for fantasy or to get away from the harsh world around them. They tend to be addicted to alcohol, drugs or any type of addiction in order for them to escape from reality due to their easy flowing essence. Therefore, it is very important for Pisces people to stay away from alcohol and drugs, to connect to their higher consciousness, and to find the true purpose of their existence. Once they find the outlet to channel through their Pisces energy into the creative work and into the service to humanity, they will do extremely well.
Pisces people may have some lessons to learn in the areas of joint resources, other people’s money, inheritance, insurance, long-term investments, and metaphysics. The lessons could involve facing fear, being practical, or developing discipline, patience, and perseverance. In the end, they may find that these lessons will enable them to accomplish their goals for personal growth and they may be more self-reliant. Something new may be born out of this.
This year could be a lucky year for Pisces people because they have a cosmic blessing. Anything they do – if they do from their heart – they will do very well. Pisces people are in a new cycle of personal growth. All that they learn about themselves in 2010 will serve them in the next 11 years. It is about finding their true passion and what they really want to do in their life for themselves and how they can become the true soul they really are. Self-awareness will be the key for them to go deep within to make the necessary changes and transform. They may be amazed by their own power of creation, thinking positively and dreaming big. Meanwhile focusing on goals in a down-to-earth manner with discipline, patience, and perseverance will help them to accomplish a great deal.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarians are very friendly, original, intuitive, broadminded and helpful. Their basic nature is as humanitarians or reformers. For them, friendship and companionship are very important. They like to be as equals among equals. They are very intellectual and communicative. Because Aquarius is a fixed sign, those who are born under this sign are very loyal, determined and persistent, but sometimes can also be stubborn.
Because Aquarius is an intellectual, air sign, the Aquarian’s intuitions and relationships with others are mainly on the mental level. Their minds are analytical and scientific. They have the ability to think things through and come out with an accurate conclusion. They have good powers of concentration and are capable of assimilating a lot of information. Their ability to channel information from the Universe is also incredible – as if they have access to the information bank provided by the Universe – which makes among them some very outstanding scientists, inventors, TV, radio and internet pioneers.
Aquarian people are very electrifying and sometimes act like a power surge which can cause problems with electronics – especially computers – even without their knowing that they caused the problems. Aquarian people are very friendly yet in a very detached way. I was lucky to work closely with a triple Aquarius at our center. He has all the Aquarius personality traits such as: very intuitive, intelligent, great communicator, and having a very excellent ability to think things through and come up with a solution. He is also very detached emotionally from most situations. Of course, he also displays Aquarian stubbornness (although he considers me more stubborn than him – which of course not the case. LOL!). In addition, he often has problems with computers and electronics. His Aquarian energy once blew our center’s whole heating system and quite a few computers. Luckily we know the cause.
This year Aquarian people have a great opportunity to educate themselves on material affairs, such as financial planning and money management. If you are an Aquarius, it is a great time for you to define what you truly value – what is ultimately important to you in your life – then use what you have learned to make a plan to achieve what you want from life. In the meantime, you also have a great opportunity to work on your subconscious. Unresolved issues or unreleased emotions will emerge for you to deal with so that you can truly let go of them. This process may not be pleasant but you will learn much from it. Make a friend with an Aquarius and they surely will bring something new to your life.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)
Capricorn people are ambitious, very practical and down to earth. Everything they believe has to be put into practical reality to experience. If they set up a goal, they have the discipline, determination and perseverance to see it through. They are very responsible people but can also be somewhat controlling and demanding.
Capricorns are very serious and goal oriented. They are also very strict and critical of themselves. Saturn, the lord of karma, discipliner and teacher, is the ruler of their birth sign, so you now know why they are the way they are. These people are very gifted in the business and political areas. They have very good intuition and they use it in their struggle to achieve personal independence and economic security. Because they are very gifted in business and politics and are very practical and responsible, they make very good executives, investors, administrators, and managers in the fields of business, politics, social, or intellectual affairs. However, they need to have goals and plans so that they have something definite to pursue. Otherwise, they could feel lost and go down the road of depression.
Success for Capricorn people comes from their hard work, patience, discipline, and perseverance. They do not easily give up in finding solutions to the most difficult problems and are very successful as troubleshooters. I am lucky to have a friend whose birth sign is Capricorn. My friend is very patient and a good problem solver. He can work for hours to solve a problem and make it workable and practical. Simply by working with him on some projects I have been amazed by him and have learned so much from him about Capricorn people.
Because Capricorns like structure and order, they like to have everything in perfect working order. They tend to be very disciplined and strict in pursuing their goals and in everything they do. Because of this tendency, they can sometimes make their life or other peoples’ lives harder. Learning to set practical goals, plan for them, and then be flexible and go with the flow will be of great benefit for Capricorn people.
Capricorn people may have a new opportunity for romance or a new love interest in the first half of 2010. These people have a very loyal and sensitive personality. They care for and love others much more than they often show. Be grateful and truly appreciate Capricorn people in your life. They appreciate you much more and deeper than you know.
Sagittarius 2009 (November 22 to December 20)
I am not kidding when I state that, when I see Sagittarius in the natal chart, I know the person has problems staying in relationships. The same applies for Sagittarius as the rising sign or Moon sign. Not only do they have problems settling down and staying, they value so much their freedom. Ruled by the planet Jupiter, this sign is the luckiest of the lot. Things fall into their lap, literally. They usually have no trouble manifesting what they need, and life seems quite easy for them.
However the down side to Sagittarius is that they do have trouble in relationships and partnerships. If they do not, they are not true Sagittarians but more of their Ascendant sign. They are fiercely independent and very stubborn, especially when it comes to that wonderful subject of a partner. One Sagittarius friend of mine has to go to away twice a year from his wife, just to get his space and take time out. Ironically, his wife is a Sagittarius also but she has no desire to do this. She is not true to her Sagittarius energy. Touch a Sagittarius though when you meet one. You are very lucky to have them as friends or as partners.
Scorpio 2009 (October 23 to November 21)
As soon as you say the word “Scorpio,” many people recoil in fear. There is something about the word that frightens many people. Maybe it is the Scorpion with the tail! However, the majority of Scorpio people are incredibly intuitive, very sensitive, and have come into this incarnation to transform themselves. They often have a fear of death – often quite severe. They are frightened of people also. They are very spiritual people and are usually drawn to the metaphysical side of life with interests in life after death and psychic subjects. All Scorpios have had an incredible number of past lives, hence their need to finally free themselves from the wheel of life in this incarnation. For those who do it, it is true liberation. Scorpios are very intense, very determined, and strong in their convictions and beliefs. The next time you meet a Scorpio, don't cringe or try to avoid them. They are the best mirrors and teachers in the zodiac. They are a water sign, and so being around water is very important for them. Of all of the zodiac signs these people are very gifted as healers and psychics. Once they can face their fear they have the energy.
Libra 2009 (September 22 to October 22)
If you ever meet a true Libra, don't ask them a question because they will have trouble making a decision. They are incredibly nice people and they don't like indecision in others, but oh dear! They cannot make decisions themselves. Libras love the good things in life: good food, wine – if they drink it, and fine things. Ruled by the planet Venus, they are very romantic and love romance novels and romantic films on TV and at the cinema. Although they love to indulge themselves, once they set a goal they fulfill it. They are hard working once they have a purpose and are very generous to friends, family, and even total strangers. Some Libras have lots of friends and are social butterflies. Others are loners and prefer their own company. Travel is good for them, and they love to travel. They often look a lot younger than they are. If you want some advice, ask a Libra. Somehow they always seem to have the right answer. Many Libras often carry weight, usually do to their loving the good things of life, especially food and wine. They make good partners with fellow Librans, Geminis and Aquarians.
VIRGO 2009 (August 23 to September 21)
Virgo, the Virgin. Oh, Virgos get so tired of saying that! These people are the true healers, very into nature, natural foods, and healthy living. They love anything to do with the Earth. They make great potters and artists working with clay. They are intensely private and very critical of themselves (and occasionally of others), but not often I must say. They are mainly critical of themselves. Most Virgos are very clean and tidy. It drives some mad because they need to have everything in their life in order – being out of order drives them crazy. I love Virgo people, their energy is amazing and very caring. They can be at times concerned about their own health and can take their care to extremes, but mainly, they are usually one of the healthiest signs around. The word organic was made for them.
LEO 2009 (July 22 to August 22)
Having my own Moon and Pluto in Leo and also having a Leo daughter, I know a great deal about Leos. I wish I could say they are wonderful, amazing people and they are, BUT they are also very dramatic and often fear the public acclaim or exposure they have chosen to learn from. Leos are deeply loyal and usually quite artistic. They make great stage players either in front or backstage and usually have a difficult time holding in their anger. They say Leos are vain, and they are, but the sign of Leo is vanity; they have to be to enable them to go out into the public. Some Leos are, and some are not. It all depends on the level of Leo energy they have.
CANCER 2009 (June 21 July 21)
I actually have Cancer as my midheaven placement and oh, it does cause me problems at times. Cancer is a very sensitive star sign and as such (when there is a full moon or the waning and the waxing of the moon) it can really cause me emotional problems. Home is very important to all Cancer natives, and for some reason they always have to leave their home behind to move on at some time in their lives; they do not like the feeling at all. The thing is, the more they do not like it somehow the more it happens. They do not like moving from under their shell (their home) and get very upset when that happens. They are the most sensitive of all star signs and feel everyone's emotions. They are very empathic! They make wonderful, nurses, doctors and healers! Most of the men of this star sign love cooking and I even knew one Cancer man who loved to knit!! They are beautiful souls who hurt very easily. Be very careful when talking to a Cancer sign person; they are extremely sensitive to hurt.
GEMINI 2009 (May 20 June 20)
You can always tell a true Gemini because they do a lot of talking. They are also very active, often multi-tasking and never thinking about it. If you want something done, ask a Gemini to do it. They will have it done in half the time anyone else will. They are usually wonderful communicators and writers. If you do meet a shy Gemini, they are here to learn how to communicate, write, and be vocal. It is very interesting that many Geminis are twins, and the sign of Gemini IS the twins. Gemini people are usually so active and very creative. Often Geminis are so involved in the present in the now and what they are doing that they forget about the future. As an air sign, they are often out of body (truly) because they are often planning the things they want, but when they come back sometimes it is too late. Gemini people can be very exhausting if you are used to a slow pace of life. They are energetic, they get bored with things very easily, and always have to have the next idea ready to implement. However, one thing one cannot say about Geminis is that they are lazy! A true Gemini never would be!
TAURUS 2009 (April 20 May 19)
It has long been said that Taurus people do not like letting go of things such as personal items and money. They are the tightest people in the Universe when it comes to money they will drive a hard bargain or even try to get it for free. They are materialistic, but this is because in past lives they did not have much, or had it and did not learn to balance the energy, i.e., keeping hold of what they had and not letting go. So they are back to learn how to make the balance between letting go and holding on. I have a Taurus granddaughter and grandson, and their father has to wait until they have gone away to an overnight sleep before he can remove old toys and things they have grown out of. The wonderful thing about Taurus souls though is that they are the most beautiful healers. My Taurus granddaughter wants to be a veterinarian, and my husband's son, also a Taurus, is training to be an anesthesiologist. They are beautiful souls, and despite what people say about Taurus, they are usually very loving individuals who are very sensitive.
ARIES 2009 (March 20 April 19)
Whenever I meet an Aries I always ask myself, What are they mirroring for me because, as a Libra, Aries is my opposite sign. I used to dislike Aries people a lot because they are leaders, have confidence and mirrored for me all the insecurities I had years ago. Once I realized they were trying to help me and that they also did not have a lot of confidence in themselves, I began to see what they were made of.
Aries people are very lovely people. I was married to an Aries, and he certainly mirrored for me what I needed to learn about confidence and being a leader. They are very generous people and try very hard to better themselves constantly. The keyword with Aries is "I AM." I used to think they have too much ego, I did not realize I was looking at what I SHOULD be like. If you want something done, and the person is a true Aries (not their rising sign or ascendant), then ask an Aries to do it. Even if they do doubt themselves, they will still go ahead and do it. They are remarkable people indeed.
PISCES 2009 (February 19 March 19)
Beautiful dreamy Pisces. I have a Pisces granddaughter who also has her moon in that sign. She is three and always wants to be a Princess; all of her clothes are ethereal. She will read books as she grows up about Princes and Princesses and living happily ever after. However, she will not until later be able to see through the illusion.
There are more Pisces addicted to alcohol or drugs than any other sign. Why? Because they do not want to be here on the earth plane. They remember the World of Spirit where they came from. The earth plane is ugly and they escape its drudgery by using substances which enable them to leave the earth plane for a while or to blot out the dreariness of life. My own granddaughter did not even want to be born and she created a situation immediately after birth where she was very ill and almost went back home again.
She looks like an angel. She thinks she is an angel, but she is not. Until she is older though, she will not know that. Pisces people are the most spiritual of all the signs but they often do not know it. They do love the psychic things of life though and are often wonderful healers. They have a connection directly to Spirit itself. They are wonderful friends and will stand up for anyone they see in trouble. Once they see through the illusion of the earth plane, they are capable of the most amazing insight. Incredibly beautiful people, many others often do not understand them. Thankfully, Pisces people are really very special. It is not often until later in life that they can see this after many trials and tribulations. When they do though, they are truly spiritual beings!!
This is the last of the astrological signs we will feature here. From April 1st, 2009; each month, ALL star signs will be given a monthly forecast. We hope you will have a look each month at your own forecast for the month!
