You are attracted to visions of a more inspiring life that strongly contrasts with the seemingly endless demands put on you every day. The gap between the two may be disconcerting, but the message is one of hope rather than despair. Optimistic Jupiter floats through idealistic Aquarius in your 8th House of Intimacy and Transformation, where it joins spiritual Neptune on May 27, July 10 and December 21. It is time to forgive others and let go of past disappointments in relationships. The goal isn't to let someone else off the hook but to untangle yourself from old patterns that keep you turning in circles. Detaching from your history is necessary to fulfill your potential. It may feel disorienting to jettison doubt and toss bad memories away, so allow yourself to wander a bit until you familiarize yourself with new emotional territory.

Overall Trends
While the busy demands of daily life are potentially overwhelming, you are simultaneously awakening to an inspiring vision of your future. To nurture this potential, it's essential to make a regular practice of separating yourself from everyday details and connecting with your intuition and spirit. This higher perspective will serve you well this year, as you begin a long process of dismantling and then rebuilding the emotional and physical structures of your life.

Love
Slow-moving planets congregate in your partnership houses this year, indicating major changes in the realm of relationships. It's time to forgive past partners and let go of old patterns that keep you from experiencing the deep level of connection you desire. If you're in a partnership, you'll be tested to speak your truth and be honest about your needs. If you're single and looking, get involved in causes you feel passionate about or participate in a spiritual community to enhance opportunities to meet your mate.

Career and Finance
With exciting and expansive activity in your 8th House of Shared Resources all year, opportunities abound for financial support from grants, loans or other outside sources. As long as you exercise caution and carefully research any potential prospects, it's a great year to accept an offer or merge resources for mutual benefit. Your career benefits from honing your communication skills and finding new ways to get your message out to the world.

What to Look Forward To
This year is auspicious for meeting "soul mates" of all varieties -- people you connect with deeply and who have a transformational effect on your life. They help shake you out of old patterns and remind you of your dreams and ideals. Support and inspiration are available from unexpected and unusual sources -- listen to your feelings to discern which offerings are truly desirable.

What To Watch Out For
Pluto traveling opposite your sign for the next several years will challenge your Crab-like tendency to hold on tenaciously -- whether to possessions or the past. Clear signs of what needs to be released or transformed will be apparent in April and August. Your best bet is to dive in and get down to the work of letting go. Don't be afraid to increase your discomfort temporarily as a necessary step toward creating a better future.

Eclipses are especially important to you since they always involve your ruling planet, the Moon. They are passages -- keyholes in time where a sudden insight or change of circumstances can propel you in a new direction in the weeks leading up to or following the event. Of the five eclipses occurring this year, two of them this summer are bound to hit home. A Capricorn Lunar Eclipse on July 7 falls in your 7th House of Partnerships, sending a message about how you connect with others. Saturn's harmonious trine to the Moon suggests that emotional clarity and discipline can lead to a well-reasoned shift in relationship patterns. A Solar Eclipse in your sign on July 21 helps you flush away habits that have been holding you back. Revolutionary Uranus's creative trine to this Sun-Moon conjunction makes change easier than you expect.
Stern Saturn spends most of the year in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, where the details of daily life require your close attention. Tying up your thoughts with a million and one little tasks may keep you so buried in work and worry that you miss the clouds of opportunity floating by. It's essential to separate yourself from the clutter of your daily routine to catch your breath and open your mind to other possibilities. Moments for meditation, quiet walks or silent time alone turn down the endless drone of responsibilities and show you glimpses of a more fulfilling life. Even if this seems unrealistic, however, it can point you in a positive direction; even falling short of your ideal can elevate your spirits. Draw a clear line between work and play instead of allowing your days and nights to blend into a murky mix where inspiration is lost. Dutiful Saturn's oppositions with rebellious Uranus on February 5 and September 15 are moments when you may be pushed to your limit and feel like running away from everyone and everything. You are unlikely to do that, of course, but rather than repressing the urge for change, consider these aspects a reminder of the need to break your routine.
