(October 24-November 21)

Other people have New Year’s resolutions. You have New Year’s issues. These aren’t bad, but there’s just a lot on your plate as 2010 begins. The Sun is in Capricorn, your third house of communication. Unfortunately, Mercury is retrograde (backward) until the 15th, making all manner of technology, plans, conversations and messages a scrambled mess. Untangling the wires could take considerable effort. Be patient and gracious, and it will all smooth out.

On January 17th, expansive Jupiter enters Pisces, your fifth house of romance and creativity. Jupiter will travel through here until January 2011 (sans a short summer respite), blessing you with abundant passion, love, and excitement. A pregnancy is possible during this cycle. Rest up after the 19th, when the Sun enters Aquarius, your domestic fourth house. Return to basics and make sure your plans are built on a solid foundation. A visit with family is rejuvenating; your mother or a significant woman will play into events later this month.

Your luckiest events this month will occur on a Sunday.
