This is a year of rare opportunity -- the spiritually active planets Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron join together three times in your sign. Expansive Jupiter, the planet of growth, opportunity and wisdom, conjuncts mystical Neptune on May 27, July 10 and December 22, connecting your heart and mind and offering you a greater vision of yourself and humanity. You are inspired by an understanding beyond words -- one that stretches from the bottom of your soul to the heights of cosmic consciousness. This perspective can make you a teacher and a leader in the pursuit of human potential. Jupiter conjuncts Chiron the Wounded Healer on May 31, July 22 and December 7, nourishing your faith with enormous compassion for yourself and others. It's a perfect antidote to intellectual arrogance, because it matches your high level of mental ability with emotional depth. Every day can be sacred now as you find meaning in the events of ordinary life, yet your challenges will not all disappear. However, even the most difficult ones will be less burdensome as you discover the magic of faith, which empowers you with a wider palette of possibilities than ever before.

Overall Trends
A rare and magical planetary alignment in your sign could make 2009 your best year yet. In May, July and December, don't wait for opportunities to come to you -- meet them halfway with committed intention and action. Take the risk of stepping into an expanded leadership role, especially in the areas of healing, spirituality and social change. Let go of rigid ideas of who you are and be an inspiration to others by living your dreams.

Love
Your increased confidence and faith this year makes you unwilling to settle for less than what you want in relationships. Saturn in your 8th House of Bonding until October 29 indicates deep restructuring of intimate relationships. Be honest with yourself and others about what you need -- the effort you make now to address any underlying blocks to intimacy pays off in lasting results.

Career and Finance
With your increased confidence and magnetism this year, take the risk of taking action toward achieving success. Get specific about how to bring your visionary ideas into reality -- make a plan and break it down into small steps. Your creativity and innovation are rewarded with unusual opportunities for income. The flow of resources could be erratic, alerting you to where you need to downsize.

Health
In this expansive year of growth and change, it's important to take time to rest and focus on your health. You need more down time than usual, as you're extra-sensitive to environmental and emotional influences. Take advantage of the support available from friends, groups and spiritual communities to transform your self-care habits. Your enhanced sensitivity opens up a miraculous healing potential -- experiment with meditation, prayer and subtle forms of healing.

What to Look Forward To
2009 could be an amazing year! It's likely to turn out even better than what you could dream up, so let go of needing to know the outcome and enjoy the ride. This is not a year to be an observer of your life but to dive in and fully participate. Through travel, education and spiritual pursuits, you meet people who have a significant impact on the direction of your life.

What To Watch Out For
When dreamy Neptune meets expansive Jupiter, your fantasy world can take over and you're more susceptible to illusion. Use both your intuition and logic to discern the difference between fantasy and reality, especially in your relationships. Also look out for signs of martyrdom. Let go of the old story that you need to sacrifice your personal happiness to contribute to the greater good.

The expanding perspective in your life doesn't eliminate your need to make major choices this year. Restrictive Saturn, the traditional ruler of your sign, opposes rebellious Uranus, its modern ruler, on February 5 and September 15. The stark contrast between responsibility and freedom represented by this pair first occurred on November 4, 2008 and returns on April 26, 2010 and July 26, 2010. You may be resentful of the limitations in your life and push hard against authority figures. Blaming others for your frustration is unlikely to be productive, though. Success comes from clearly defining your desires, making a plan to satisfy them and executing it with patience and precision. The rewards for following this path are well worth the self-discipline required of you now. Furthermore, strict Saturn forms tense squares with powerful Pluto on November 15, January 31, 2010 and August 21, 2010. These aspects demonstrate that you must be more purposeful if you want to maintain control over your life. Securing your professional position or discovering a new career path more suitable to your long-range interests is essential.
Eclipses in your 6th House of Daily Routines on July 21 and December 31 demand changes in your habits. These influences, lasting up to six months each, remind you that there are healthier and more efficient ways to function. Minor problems can grow into more serious complications unless you address them right away. Don't allow nagging health issues to linger if you have the means to attend to them. You're not the type to baby yourself, but self-care is critical now. Even if the usual patterns of your day-to-day existence are interrupted, it's wiser to creatively develop new modes of operation than to hold tightly to those that no longer serve your needs.
