Georgia Nicols' Aquarius Forecast for 2006

"Friendship is like a bank account. You can't continue to draw on it without making deposits."
(Anonymous)

The Year 2006

In 2006, Saturn is in Leo for the entire year for the first time since 1977. (Many will see a correlation.) This will give enduring form to creative expression! (The movie Star Wars, which opened in 1977 has become part of our culture's artistic icons.)

Saturn will encourage a concrete expression of theatre and the arts at both personal and civic levels. It will also encourage a stricter more traditional methodology in schools.

Jupiter's passage through Scorpio will alter how we deal with death. In the 50s, we built schools and playgrounds for the Baby Boomers. This year we will lay the groundwork to help them die with dignity and loving support. (Death will be a big business by 2013-14.)

In many ways, new opportunities will arise out of situations of loss. "May the Force be with you."

The Envelope Please...

You are so individualistic you defy classification. (You unique types are all alike.) You're original. You have a fine mind. You're inventive, and you teach yourself daunting data! Yet many of you flunked school because of daydreaming (inventing, actually) or networking. The computer geeks and wizards of this world have Aquarius in their soul, as do scientists, inventors, pilots and programmers. You see the world as a global village. You're casual about your dress, but never your politics. You believe in life after birth - for everyone. You lobby for the underdog and the rights of the masses. You started unions, Greenpeace and Amnesty International. You rally the troops! You bring together like minds to fight for a common goal -- to make the world a better place. "Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!" You're an avant-garde rebel. Never a slave to convention, you start petitions, organizations, and the occasional mutiny. You're a wonderful friend and humanitarian. (But gawd - you're stubborn!)

Your Shady Past

Although you were stylin' in the mid 80s, you give up a lot around 1989-90. That's because you had to reinvent yourself in the 90s. (And you did!) In 1991, you were in a completely new sandbox. New clothes, new hairdo, the works. In the late 90s, you were caught in a revolving door finding different jobs and places to live. But by 1999, you tried to settle down. In fact, your home scene looked good at the turn of the millennium. And 2001 was a fun year for romance and vacations. Since 2003, you've been busting your buns. (Gasp) But last year was very tough on partnerships. That's because you started to take your powah!

Which brings us to 2006

Aquarians alive today are in a unique (there's that word again) position because Neptune is presently in your sign, and your ruler Uranus traveled through your sign from 1996 to 2003. This was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. It really shook you up. But it was ultimately a liberating experience. (That's a euphemism for mind blowing angst.) Many of you are dealing with the fallout of lost partnerships now. And if those partnerships didn't bite the dust, then they're undergoing a major adjustment period. Fortunately, the heavens do balance things out. This year, lucky Jupiter is sailing across the top of your chart bringing you wonderful opportunities and better jobs. But it also beautifully bolsters your public reputation among your peers. You're looking swell, kiddo. This is the time to try very hard to move ahead in any area that matters to you. Expect a promotion, public recognition, and increased esteem from your contemporaries. Increased travel (perhaps work related) and a change of fields perhaps to medicine, healing, the law or higher education are possible now.

Is the future like the present only longer?

In the next few years, some of you will get along with less support from others. Partners could change jobs. Roommates move out. Bursaries and scholarships end. But you will persevere! Success is mainly hanging on after others have let go. The year 2007 will be very popular! Friends, groups and associations will love you. Your dance card will be full! You'll be humming, "..moving on up." In 2009, lucky Jupiter is in your sign for the entire year. Yeehaw! Life will be good.

In a galaxy far far away...

All this current insanity is actually preparing you for a marvelous career peak around 2013. At that time, your cherished dreams will come true. The reason you're stepping in mud puddles now is so that you'll know what fertile soil looks like in the future.

My Mantra for 2006

If I take care of the minutes, the days will take care of themselves.

Be the best you can be

Neptune in your sign is a confusing experience. (1998 - 2011) Since it happens once every 165 years, not everybody undergoes this. Your sense of reality is being tested. But your compassion is expanding. You are cutting edge and modern. (All Aquarians are born 50 years ahead of their time.) In the last thousand years, Uranus and Neptune have joined together in the sign of Aquarius only once - briefly in 1834 - 35 and again for six years from 1998 to 2003. You are a unique kind of person who is alive at a very special time in history. It's the Age of Aquarius. The last time this happened was 25,000 years ago. (Guess how far they had to walk to school then!) You're getting this double whammy experience so that you can be the mentors for the entire planet which is also undergoing this New Age. You will lead the way with technology. But you will also show the rest of us how to live together. After all, it's the lead dog who has the clearest view.

Stuff Every Self-respecting Aquarius Knows

You are Aquarius the Water-Bearer. Your element is Air. You are a Masculine, Fixed sign. (The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Fixed signs are determined, steadfast and self-reliant. They see things through to the end. They like tradition and boundaries. "What! No cranberry sauce with the turkey?") Unpredictable Uranus is your ruling planet. Aquarius governs the Ankles and the Circulatory System and Electrical Impulses in the body. Your sign rules the Eleventh House, which governs Associations, Friendships, Fraternity, Hope, Objectives and Ideologies. Aquarius rules the heavens -- astronomy, astrology, 'rocket science' and aviation. You guys are smart!

Aquarius in the Bedroom

You're an experimental sign. Need I say less? You have to have a partner who is open minded and curious about new techniques and toys. Remember that your planet Uranus rules electricity. Shocking? (I think that includes batteries.) And your partner has to be a respected friend. The irony is that given your love of the unconventional and the erotic, you're essentially passive. You have to respect your sex object. Altruism turns you on. Bigotry turns you off. But once you have a meeting of the high minds, you're very eager to please. Nothing is too far out for you. But the bottom line of all your hi-jinks is that you truly care for people. Of course, the list you care for might be long and far ranging. But hey - it's all in good fun and we're friends aren't we?
