The stark contrast between your dreams of a more fulfilling future and the demands of daily life can pull you back and forth between hope and surrender this year. Optimistic Jupiter in your 10th House of Career expands your professional horizons with promises of greater responsibility and recognition. An open-minded attitude is essential to reach these heights, because you're forced out of your comfort zone to encounter new and unconventional ways of doing business. Jupiter's conjunctions with spiritual Neptune on May 27, July 10 and December 21 reveal creative ways to express your highest ideals through your job. Still, the balloon of hope can float so high that it seems always beyond your grasp. Think of this vision as a model meant to motivate you, rather than a fixed target you must reach to succeed. You may have to step back from the concrete Taurus sense of reality that expects tangible results to recognize that simply aspiring to greatness is a significant achievement.

What To Watch Out For
As a pragmatic Earth sign, you can be overly attached to a concrete and literal interpretation of reality. This year, it's especially important to make room for magic and miracles by holding a higher perspective and letting your ideals, dreams and intuition lead the way. Of course, keep taking care of the tasks in front of you, but don't be afraid to let your mind wander into unknown territory.
A Solar Eclipse in socially conscious Aquarius activating your 10th House on January 26 is enriched by a conjunction with Jupiter while Venus, your ruling planet, is joined with inventive Uranus. You may experience a sudden awakening to a totally new professional path. , Yet a Lunar Eclipse in Leo on February 9 opposing nebulous Neptune could trick you into believing in a fantasy that might never come true. Imagine, dream and hope -- but gather and absorb information, analyzing it before committing yourself to radical change. Venus turns retrograde in your secretive 12th House on March 6, giving you a chance to review key relationship issues before the love planet turns direct on April 17. Another Lunar Eclipse in your 10th House on August 5 is supported by a harmonious trine from busy Mars in Gemini, enabling you to take steps in a new direction without abandoning the safety and security of what you've already built.
Saturn, the planet of contraction and limits, is in your 6th House of Employment until October 29, anchoring your aspirations with discipline -- or burying them under the weight of petty details and mundane tasks. It's essential that you operate with greater efficiency on the job and in routine matters to gain enough time to advance your larger interests. If you match your high hopes with training and dedication, you might even catch that elusive balloon. Hardworking Saturn, though, began a series of tense oppositions with Uranus, the planet of surprise and independence, last November that will repeat on February 5, September 15 and through the summer of 2010. The stress between Saturn sticking to business in practical Virgo and rebellious Uranus in Pisces's yearning for freedom may provoke a desire to give up your ambitions and run away from it all. These aspects are reminders that you will need breaks from the pressure to perform at a peak level. Forcing yourself to plod along without taking time off can lead to a breakdown -- quitting a job, abandoning your goals or creating a conflict over control that ends your project.
