Georgia Nicols' Virgo Forecast for 2008
"If there is reincarnation, I'd like to come back as Warren Beatty's fingertips."
Woody Allen
(Virgo Rising)
Your Secret Past
If you think about it, you actually reinvented yourself in the 80s. There were residential moves and job changes during 1984-86. After that, you got serious about stabilizing your home environment -- repairing and renovating where you lived. By 1991-93, you were working hard to prove what you could do. Life was frankly overwhelming!
It wasn't until 1994, that you started to make others sit up and take notice. That's when your confidence and ambition began to increase. However, many of you got kudos and acknowledgment for the work you had done. This recognition and increased power might have contributed to a change in your relationships, because many partnerships ended then.
By 2001-02, you reached a culmination of things. Perhaps you graduated or experienced success in your job or finally got married or had a long waited for child. Something definitely made you feel proud!
Since 2005, you've been letting go of people, places and possessions. It hasn't been easy. However, these things were no longer relevant in your life. It was time to move on. (But not like Woody Allen: "When my parents heard I'd been kidnapped, they snapped into action immediately: they rented out my room.")
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.
This extended tour of Mars supercharges up your ambition!! You're on a mission. In particular, during this time, you'll learn how to galvanize the actions of others to achieve what you want to do. You feel surprisingly clear about your goals now. You've identified what you want and you're going after it.
This is not a time to do things alone. Work with others. Team action is the key to your success now. One minor caution: you're so ambitious you might create conflict with others or threaten bosses and people in authority. Not wise.
Just remember what your objective is and stay on course. (And if you're going to draw on the wall -- do it behind sofa.)
Introduuuucing - 2008!!
The New Year Begins
Enormous changes are taking place in your life right now. Since 2005, you've dismantled much of what you created since 1994. Now you're headed in an entirely new direction. You're in a new sandbox. Life is different!
January begins in a super upbeat way. You're still in party mode! Many of you are taking vacations. Love, romance and fun diversions are your first choice now. Relations with children are rewarding. Not only are you entertaining at home, you're also redecorating and tweaking your digs. (Drapes is a verb and draperies is a noun.)
It's a happy start to the year.
Your ambition is strong in February. You're working very hard. Nevertheless, you're still taking time to party and enjoy romantic relationships, the arts, and playful times with friends. It's all good.
Partnerships and relationships have your attention in March. Discussions with coworkers are important. It's easy to make progress at work because people are helpful and supportive. Your positive attitude paves the way for this. You're a Friday kind of person in a Monday kind of world.
Spring is Sprung
There's no question that you're at the beginning of a new 30 year cycle. You're starting to notice that the changes that are taking place are not just external -- there's a lot of changes taking place within you as well. You realize that although you know a lot about the external world, you have to make friends with yourself. Who are you really? And what do you really want and need? And do you want to be seen in public with you?
Travel plans or educational opportunities appealed to in May because you're eager to learn something new. You have become your own do-it-yourself project. You want to improve. You want to know more. You want to be more accomplished; and you want to experience more of life.
June is a powerful month. The Sun is high noon in your chart. Everybody notices you. Not only that Mercury and Venus help you to schmooze with everyone, especially bosses and VIPs. Your confidence is growing and vacation plans look promising. You need time off for good behavior!
Salad Days of Summer
Make plans for a marvelous, social summer! Count on enjoying good times with friends, groups, clubs and organizations. You're schmoozing with everybody and having fun. In particular, artistic friends will interest you. (As for everything else-- don't worry; the world is full of apathy but who cares?)
Because your birthday is approaching in August this is the perfect time to lie low. Take a backseat. Work alone or behind the scenes. What you really need to do is set aside some time to contemplate and ponder what you want your new year to be all about.
Back to School
It's your birthday month and you're gung ho! You always find pleasure in pulling your act together and trying to make everything ticketyboo. (You're even gargling twice daily to see if your neck leaks.)
You're on the ball because you have a sense of perfection about things. You like to be organized. And you like things to run smoothly. When they do -- you feel good about yourself.
This is also a good time to make money. You're full of moneymaking ideas; and at the same time, you're also spending your hard earned cash. In particular, beautiful things for yourself a loved ones catch your eye. October is really a hot month for cash flow. Now you see it, now you don't. (Nowadays a miser is someone who lives within his income.)
Freeze That Frame
In November, you're so busy, you're buzzing around with an outboard motor on your ass. Short trips and lots of errands make demands on your time. You're also running around talking to everyone! You're so excited about some ideas, if others disagree with you, you'll take it personally. You're very successful now in persuading and convincing others to agree with you. Great time for sales, teaching, acting and marketing. Write on!
You'll pull in your focus by December. As the year ends, it's all about your private world, home, family and your domestic scene. Some kind of chaotic activity will be taking place at home, possibly due to renovations or visiting relatives. You're still enjoying parties and social occasions. Romance looks sweet.
It's a lovely way to end this first year of your new journey to create a new world. "Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be. Custom will soon render it easy and agreeable." (Pythagoras) What is Euclidean Geometry? Is it those three-cornered things?
Your Mantra for 2008
I can be myself without fear or apology.
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
Many of you will feel your joints are stiff this year (and next.) You might also have problems with your teeth. Don't worry! By 2009, this will disappear or greatly lessen. You also feel old. What you used to do for kicks doesn't cut it anymore. The club scene is boring and some of your friends seem juvenile. (That's because they are!)
Don't worry! You're not in the prime of senility. This is what happens when Saturn is in your sign. (Saturn rules the skeleton and the teeth.) You'll find yourself pulling in more or withdrawing from social situations. So what? You're beginning to restructure your life. You have to discover who and what you are in your terms not other people's terms.
Virgo Luck for 2008
This is an extremely fortunate year for you because both lucky Jupiter and stern Saturn are in signs that strengthen you. (Hut, 2, 3, 4!) And they both offer you different advantages. Jupiter makes this year fun-loving, full of romance and the time of parties, pleasure and enjoyment. You will definitely take a vacation. Many of you will fall in love or discover the love of your life. Relations with children will be rewarding and gratifying. These wonderful, fun things are prompted by a planetary aspect that occurs once every 12 years. Lucky you!
However, in addition, Saturn brings the serious, sober realization that you're on a new mission, and what you create for yourself depends upon your attitude, your effort and your ideals. There are two basic approaches: Commodity Ethics, in which everything is for sale and the one with the most toys wins. And Sacred Ethics, where what goes around comes around, and what you do unto others is as you would have them do unto you. It's your choice. And this choice determines how your life will unfold.
This is such an auspicious time for you because as you begin this major new journey, Jupiter is along for the ride to ensure that your creative self-expression will grow. Your creative potential is increased. Your relationships with others will improve. In fact, you'll have such freedom for self-expression, you'll longer feel it necessary to hide your talents under a bushel. Because you're having fun and enjoying social pleasures as well as the pleasure of expressing your creative talents -- you'll attract the admiration of others. It's a great year to be alive!
2008 and a Sneak Preview Ahead...
Since this is the beginning of your journey, suffice to say the next seven years are critical to reinventing yourself. During 2009-10, you'll be earning more money. Definitely. You'll also be making major expenditures. (Hey -- lots of money is only useful if you spend it.)
By 2013, changes to your residence or your job are likely because something very big will shift in your daily surroundings. That's when you're putting the final touches on the new you. A change in your environment will prompt you to see things in a new light and therefore, you'll start to communicate differently.
The years 2018-19 are excellent for real estate expansion and speculation. You'll be even happier with your home life then. You're also have a clear idea of who you are without having to check your ID.
