Georgia Nicols' Aquarius Forecast for 2008
I link therefore I am.
Your Secret Past
In the mid 80s, you were styling. At least, you were pleased with yourself and what you were doing. However, by 1989, you started to undo much of what you created in that decade. Unravel, unravel, unravel.
This cleared the decks for something new around 1991-92. By 1996-97, you started to contemplate job changes and residential moves.
From 1997-01, you decided it was time to put down roots; and by 2003, increased responsibilities with children plus other reasons made you start to bust your buns. By 2005, major stress in partnerships began. Aagghh! Some fell by the wayside. ("I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad." - lyrics by Oedipus Rex.)
Attack from Mars!
Mars rules war and aggression. It also rules our muscles, and how we assert ourselves in all our relationships. Mars takes about two years to orbit the planet so it stays in each sign for about seven weeks. But lo! Due to a celestial dustup, Mars entered Cancer on Sept 28th, 2007 and doesn't move on to Leo until May 9th, 2008. That's over six months! (During that time it actually slips back into Gemini for a little while.) The last time this happened was 1975-76.
Most signs will feel increased tension somewhere, especially with other people, because of this lengthy sojourn of Mars. However, (you lucky devil) you are one of the few signs, and indeed you might be the only one, that can really benefit from this incredible zap from Mars because it will make you work very hard. You'll almost be driven. Don't worry. There will be time off for good behavior.
The only downside is you might not get credit for what you do. Somebody else gets the applause while you do all the work. No fair! If this is going to bother you a lot, then don't be a team player. Try to work alone as much as you can. Because you are going to put out a lot of energy to achieve whatever it is you want to do.
Introduuuucing - 2008!!
The New Year Begins
Even though you're working hard now, part of you wants to hide. Therefore, work alone or work behind the scenes. You need a breather. You want to pull your act together before you take it on the road. Part of you wants to kick back and relax because you're thinking about so many things. Thoughts, ideas, memories and hopes -- it's your consciousness -- that annoying time between naps.
In February, you're flying your colours! You're eager to talk to others, and you're also eager to flirt and explore romantic possibilities. Playful times with children will be rewarding. You definitely want to have fun. This would be a great month for a vacation. And yet, it would also be a great month to just enjoy some quiet time at home, interspersed with some wild, crazy activity that turns your crank.
Money, shopping, and organizing your possessions will grab you by the throat in March. In particular, you're keen to earn more money so that you can spend it.
Plus with Mercury, Venus and Neptune in your sign, you want to talk everyone. You've got something to say. You're one of the most intelligent signs especially in a scientific, electronic, geeky way. You know there are no answers -- only cross-references. (You also know there's a very fine line between hobby and mental illness.) The geeks shall inherit the Earth but they're going to have to fight for it.
Spring is Sprung
Spring is a bustling, busy time for you. You're eager to communicate to everyone. Short trips, extra time with siblings, plus increased reading, writing and studying keep you hopping. You're working hard (still.) And hopefully, you're delegating lots of work as well. Ideas about how to be self-employed are churning in your mind. You're beginning to suspect partners might quit their jobs or do something that means less income for the two of you. Oops. Has your nest egg turned into chicken feed?
Before summer swings into action, you have to devote extra time to home, family, and your domestic needs or even explore real estate possibilities. Family gatherings are possible. You're making an effort to tweak your home by redecorating or repairing things. Many of you are attracted to a modern, minimalist look. But I also know Aquarians with so much stuff they can't find their bedroom floor. ("I know it was here when I moved in.")
It's finally playtime! New romance can flourish. Eyes across a crowded room and all that. Like Scorpio, many Aquarians are into recreational sex. You see it as another way of being friendly. In fact, sex with friends can be confusing, especially if you get married. Now you're trapped in wedded bliss with a roommate who is decided to quit their day-job. Oy vey.
This is a great time for a vacation. Book early. Everybody else is on the road as well.
Salad Days of Summer
In July, you're so busy you're running around with an outboard motor on your ass. Fortunately, you're getting along beautifully with everyone. People know you're busy, and they'll either help you or get out of the way. Probably the latter.
It's summer and it's hot. Partnerships and close friendships definitely have your attention now. Fortunately, Venus is in the picture as well so everything looks pretty good. Your sex drive is strong. This is a bonus. However, squabbles and disputes about shared property, loans, mortgages and debt are likely. Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?
Back to School
You're gripped by back-to-school fever. Suddenly, you want to be a better person. You want to floss regularly, cut back on coffee, booze, cigarettes and Haagen Dazs. (Did you know that Vanilla is their top seller? It's true. We are the people our parents warned us about.) Fortunately, school plans look very promising. You're eager to learn and eager to travel.
Publishing, the media, medicine and the law have your attention now. You want to explore all kinds of new ideas. Writers are banging of first drafts on the keyboard. "Shift to the left, shift to the right, mask in, mask out, BYTE, BYTE, BYTE!" You're looking for something to give your life meaning. You want something more.
(Surely there's more to life than sitting around defragging your hard drive.)
And of course, there is! You're the most modern, cutting-edge, independent thinking, stubborn, bold, revolutionary sign in the zodiac. All Aquarians are born 50 years ahead of their time. And you're unique.
Freeze That Frame
November is when anyone of importance really notices you. By anyone, I mean mom & dad, your boss, VIPS or the police, and of course your friends. Your ambition is aroused! People are impressed with you. You might as well milk this for all it's worth. Relations with friends, groups, clubs and organizations are particularly smooth. People are affectionate and filled with admiration for you. They want to be in your company. It's all very touching. (Friends don't let friends drive naked.)
As the year ends, your popularity rating rises. Group activities, especially physical activities are stimulating and rewarding. Interaction with younger people and others who are bright, quick and intelligent will keep you off your heels. Your confidence has grown a lot this year. (You've dealt with your fear doorknobs.) You know that next month lucky Jupiter will be in your sign. Finally, it's your turn in the toy store!
Your Mantra for 2008
We're all in this Big Soup together: what I do for one, I do for all.
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
You're definitely focused on finances this year and next. In particular, everything related to taxes, debt and shared possessions will demand your attention. (Some people pay bills when due, some when overdue, and some never do.)
You might be getting along with less because a partner has quit work or is changing jobs. You might also find your values don't agree with somebody else's. (One man's Mede is another man's Persian.) Basically you're learning the limitations of your own resources and how to cooperate with others in practical, financial terms.
Aquarius Luck for 2008
The area where you will grow in the most positive, meaningful way is so subtle quite likely you'll be the only one who is aware of it. You're a shrewd observer of the human condition. More than most, you're aware of the social dynamics of society and the swinging pendulum of power. You care about planet Earth. You care about those who are disenfranchised, and struggling for water and basic human rights. You understand the power of collective action, and what can be achieved by the joining of hands of like-minded individuals. This year these things (for various reasons) really strike a chord within you. The result will be a growing compassion and respect for others everywhere.
What more could you ask for? In 2008 you become a better person.
2008 and a Sneak Preview Ahead...
The main thing you've survived has been tension with partners and close friends in the last few years. What you face this year and next is a reduced support from others. But -- this in no way applies to your own earnings, which could actually increase!
Therefore, work independently. Rely less and less on the input from partners and the wealth from others. Don't worry. In January 2009, lucky, moneybags Jupiter enters your sign for the first time since 1997. However, this time its blessing will be even greater because it is working beautifully with Saturn as well. With Jupiter in your sign for all of 2009, good fortune comes to you through powerful people and favourable circumstances. Not only will you be luckier, you'll be happier.
By 2010-11, you see quite clearly where it is you want to go, and what it is you want to achieve. By then your earnings will definitely have increased. Ka-ching!
By 2012, you will expand your real estate holdings or buy a better home. This is a great year for real estate investments of any kind.
Your wondrous time of harvest is in 2013-14. That's when your dreams come true. Until then, keep working hard; and double your rest by dreaming that you're sleeping!
(Until then, why not get double the rest by dreaming that you're sleeping?)
