This will evolve into another series of important transitions as Pluto moves into Capricorn as well. Your innovative energy requires that you rise to the occasion to spearhead the new avenues that have pulled you forward, beckoning you to bring your Self into this new environment. You have been pretty making due with situations and now you find yourself in the unplanned circumstance of change and not having your direction really honed. Between Jupiter moving into Capricorn and Pluto moving into Capricorn many changes emerged, breaking you out of the old way of operating. Pluto continues to move into Capricorn and then out of Capricorn as you make important decisions, encouraged by Jupiter in Capricorn. You may end up on your own, having your own business and launching it from a new environment. This propels you forward and demands that you put your money where your mouth is and create the type of career and business profile that you have wanted to for quite some time. The adjustments that come during the Mercury retrogrades will impact people in your life and create a major shift of people-connections. You may even have a shift of partnership connections as situations evolve into new avenues and new in-roads. Now it is time to make your new goals a reality.

TAURUS - The new door opening by Jupiter transitioning into another earth sign of Capricorn, creates a positive energy flow in which your passion can finally find the right situations to work with. Many opportunities presented themselves on December 18th, 2007 that have transitioned and evolved many times over to emerge with Pluto moving into Capricorn. This change and transition has brought many situations to you that were not anticipated, but bring a great deal of luck into the equation.

This is a positive and welcomed relief. You begin to look at the financial toll it has all taken and the emotional connections with yourself have also been extreme. You are ready to set a new pace, to review your options and make new decisions. You are ready to try things that are very different from the past and regain your foundation. Your new goals will sprout from your foundation and you will grow the important elements of desire. You will begin to invest in yourself again, this time with specific aim to grow the financial picture. The Mercury retrogrades that occur for 2008 open major doors in this area and prompt you to make important decisions with investments, finances and all financial dealings. The Mercury retrograde that begins in May 2008 will occur in Gemini and prompt you to make definite adjustments of your image, whether it is switching careers, improving your business visibility or changing your business plan. Whatever is done, there will be major reasons for this shift and they will go back to the theme that started in your life in 1995 and has transformed into great opportunities.

CANCER - Jupiter shifts into Capricorn, which represents your opposite and complementary sign.

Once Pluto moves into Capricorn, your journey becomes very powerful indeed, as you have to continue to emerge and not high-tail it back to your hiding place. You have to remain visible and speak up from a very strong place of your feelings. This is imperative as Pluto requires that you speak up instead of backing down. This is going to be uncomfortable as you don't want to speak up, even if you are aligned with truth and all that is important. But this will be the time that you will learn to not back down, but instead to speak of the importance of your feelings and to live your life by your feelings. The Mercury retrograde events for 2008 will change and adjust your personal space to bring in the importance of speaking up, the importance of taking a stand and the importance of your feelings.

Your work environment is beckoning you to integrate the Leo spark, to make a difference in the world and in the well-being of others. Your focus on the alignment of body, mind and soul will shift your life and take you into a completely different career path. Your creativity and your powerful spark will begin to determine how you can make a difference for others. This desire will veer you into many new and varied directions. You will also make important decisions about this new career path because of the financial pursuits that you have also implemented. You are no longer going to ignore these areas of your life, instead you are going to play a more pro-active roll. The impact of Pluto moving into Capricorn will open many doors of understanding, to allow you to see how important a difference you will make in others lives, which spurs you to take steps for the commitment of school, or other directions that allow you the connections needed. The Mercury retrograde adjustments will occur in your decisions about education, expanding your studies and career shifts into directions that prompt you to gain more knowledge, whether it is actually in school, or on-the-job training.

VIRGO - As Jupiter shifts into a harmonious trine to your earthy qualities, Jupiter opens the door for you to make important and major decisions. You are building yourself back from the challenges that took so much from you since 1995, when Pluto was squaring your basic energy and your basic self. Now you can rebuild as all of the planets are placed in a very positive aspect for you to create the life that you truly deserve. Jupiter is emphasizing your creativity and your innovative ideas will begin to emerge, facilitating many of the changes that assist you build your new life from the ground up. Your relationships will change because of your creative pursuits as you express yourself differently.

LIBRA - Jupiter opening doors to your new directions are provided as your home environment and family situations open up many options that you have not anticipated. Jupiter moving into Capricorn provides your career and business possibilities that are some way related to your home situation, maybe providing home schooling or launching a home-based business of sorts. You will begin to build your foundation as you make important decisions about how best to build and strengthen your basic needs. You are addressing the very important issues of home and family and making many of the decisions from that standpoint. You will find that Jupiter rolling through Capricorn opens many doors to create the type of home and family environment that you truly desire. Pluto moving into Capricorn will also empower your desires to put together a solid family environment, so you will be making important long term decisions about your home environment once Pluto makes the shift. That opens up important Mercury retrograde adjustments, which may include a potential new additional or important creative opportunities to expand into using your creative abilities in your home-based business. The goals that you set in May will have to deal with your decisions to utilize your credentials, or additional schooling or perhaps your new found skills.

This becomes a key time for such decisions, and you usually want to make sure you create harmony as you make these type of decisions. However, you may feel prompted to make a choice about your self rather than others at this time.

SCORPIO - Jupiter opens new doors to prompt you to utilize new and different ideas. You have been challenged dealing with money and finances, yet now you will find that all of your ideas have the potential to bring in income. This pleases you to no end because the doors that seemed to be so closed and locked are now trickling and in increasing amounts. Jupiter moving into Capricorn has a very positive effect as this earth sign creates a friendly aspect that is the instigator of opportunities coming into your life. This gives you a certain amount of optimism and you begin to feel that hope has returned to your life. It seemed to be in very small quantities and evaporating. This change of Jupiter moving into Capricorn provides you with opportunities to get our ideas, writing articles, speaking and capitalizing on the innovative and inventive concepts you have been rolling around in your head. The Mercury retrogrades bring forward opportunities to look at yourself on a much deeper level and begin to make adjustments to the concepts that seemed to be less than optimistic. These start right away with the February Mercury retrograde and especially with the solar Eclipse providing new beginnings in your home environment. This opens the door to a whole new world that seemed so remote previously. The Mercury retrograde in May gives you a financial surge that gets you back on track from the situations that seemed to be out of your control. September mercury retrograde gives you a lot to think about and allows you to pull out many wonderful ideas and opportunities to utilize such creative and inventive notions. This one will get you more into the limelight with innovative opportunities for your inventions.

SAGITTARIUS - Jupiter's movement into Capricorn point to your decisions to take on more responsibility within your career and business pursuits. You have to make important choices because of the financial situations that are prompting you to move into new directions. Jupiter moving into Capricorn is very refreshing especially once Pluto moves out of Sagittarius too. This is a positive move and you are able to capitalize on the opportunities that are streaming into your life. Financial dealings become important and in areas that you have not previously been involved toss you into the middle of the ball game and you have to be a quick study. Knowing what is up or down will have to be learned in the middle of the game. This catches you by surprise, but it also eliminates any doubts that you can conjure up because of the ordeals that you have gone through of late. You have no time to worry, you will be running just to catch up. So it is time to be on your toes as you walk into 2008. Be ready to run in a matter of seconds. The Mercury retrograde events in February prompt you to communicate your thoughts and all of a sudden there is a microphone in your face and your nonchalant answer becomes something to make policy by. This catches you by surprise and this sets the pace for February and the Solar Eclipse that you were not expecting. You will be trying to catch up to what is happening and not realizing the profound impact that your words now have. The May Mercury retrograde thrusts people at you and you will have to be calm, cool and collected, even though your mind is racing inside to catch up, you will communicate as if you are talking about the weather that has been the same for the last month. September's Mercury retrograde will find more people on your doorstep at a time when you thought the amount of attention would lessen, instead it feels as though there has been a conspired effort to inundate your doorstep. The surprising events of September precipitate you to make important new decisions that are going to feel rather bold, but yet are a necessary requirement of these new events.

CAPRICORN - Your new doors opening with Jupiter's movement into your sign bring new career choices, business pursuits and avenues of accomplishment that have tall orders and great rewards connected with them. As Jupiter opens these avenues, you will glance onto these avenues as if you have a choice to venture down or not and how fast or slow. However, you find very quickly that you have no choices, the avenue is happening and coming to get you and the pace is upwards of fast. You always want to have the control of situations, but life has pushed you onto the road that already has a great deal of events happening. You will be pulled one way and then another with situations that are continuing to unfold and bringing with them more and more events that require your participation. Situations just seem to be happening and they are all coming to get you as if you are the only one that can fit into all of the glass slippers and wear the hats that are needing to be fitted. Once Pluto moves into Capricorn you will realize that this isn't just a one time thing, but a way of life that is being created with each and every day and event that is occurring. You will have to assess the situation quickly and set goals and aspirations on the fly. This becomes important because you will be pulled by the events and it is better if you have made decisions about the directions and elements of importance so you can lead the energy rather than having that blank stare. The Mercury retrogrades open up important features of your career shift, from February's major adjustment of finances, to May's adjustment of work environment to September's adjustment in promotion and career advancements. You will look back and try to determine how all of these changes happened so fast, but by the time you get to November, you'll find that you are on a locked and solid track for the career ride of your life.

AQUARIUS - The career advancements that moves you into 2008, presents the major open door in February, during the mercury Retrograde and the Solar Eclipse. Jupiter's entrance into Capricorn opens up the script that was sitting in your Life suitcase and flips to the page of the present and turns all of the pages of your life to new chapters. Jupiter connects you with your new purpose and with your new mission. This catches you somewhat off guard as you want a bit more time to get used to the new situations, but that is just not a luxury that will be granted. Once Pluto moves into Capricorn you will notice that there is not time to get used to this new career and business path, in fact in February's mercury retrograde, you'll be handed a to-do list and expectations that will leave you somewhat speechless (if that is a possibility). The Mercury retrograde will also have the solar Eclipse in Aquarius which places your thumb onto the seal and all of a sudden you have the deed to the kingdom, a long to-do list and instructions for you to start "yesterday". By the time you get to May, you will have ventured into this fast-paced pursuit and utilized your creative ideas, which will prove to be very positive and bordering on the serendipitous solutions. Looking nonchalant in your approach you keep going and meet the next batch of impossible tasks pulling from your intuitive reservoir of solutions. This becomes timely once again and September opens the door to find solid goals, tasks and processes that give you an air of miraculous. The goals and decisions that you put together in September will be looked back upon by the end of the year and seen as quite far sighted, and you will realize that luck was definitely on your side. You'd like to find Lady Luck and put her into this equation for good, but it is just not the luxury you will have. If you did, you would rely on everything but yourself, which is why your success is assured.

PISCES - Jupiter rolling into Capricorn opens up areas of your life that will shift your focus and cultural connections. You are shedding the old skins that have many stab wounds and have a tendency to think that the same thing will happen to this new skin, however, you will be pleasantly surprised because Capricorn provides a friendly energy to your sensitive Pisces nature. While Pluto was in Sagittarius it seemed like every event had a knife in it. With Jupiter rolling into Capricorn and especially once Pluto rolls into Capricorn, the knives are replaced by teddy bears. It is hard to believe, but Capricorn is a much friendlier sign for you, giving you the comfort of the earthy stability and the steadfastness that doesn't have the changing modes of instability at every moment. The Mercury retrogrades will impact you in a positive way that continues to add to your stability and experience of harmony. The Solar Eclipse and Mercury retrograde in February helps to make adjustments in your mental thoughts, attitudes and intuitive connections. May brings changes in your home environment and the changes are very positive and spontaneous which becomes a déjà vu, but this time without the knife, and actually brings positive and harmonious adjustments. The retrograde in September gives you the chance to regain a healing from the events that have occurred since 1995 and open the door for inner joy and peace, the likes of which you haven't felt in a long time, if at all. You will begin a solid health regime that you have wanted to regain as your foundation and will give you the sense of happiness that you have sought for many years now. It is finally within reach.

July Highights

The month of July is universally an EIGHT month (in numerology), emphasizing career and business pursuits. EIGHT also emphasizes taking authority within our own life regarding tasks, projects and pursuits that we are involved with. EIGHT is action-oriented and becomes a very busy month as we integrate the information that flowed into the situations during June and has now prompted us to make important determinations accordingly. We will make important decisions as June recedes and July takes these decisions and turns them into action with plans, efforts, and schedules intact. Many events occur in July as a result and become the springboard to launch our new pursuits into reality.
