I blame the planet of action for every delayed thing in my life right about now. Oh some things are not so bad, like waiting for the court date for the traffic ticket, but the rest, well dragging a toddler kicking and screaming from a toy store is easier to accomplish. Here is the yearly forecast for 2010.<br \/>\n_____________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonaries.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonaries\" title=\"buttonaries\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-46\" \/>Strangely, social as you are, you feel curiously disconnected from people, places and things. You are held in the grip of issues from the past that needs resolution, but you have not a clue as how to do so. As long as you keep yourself in limbo, there is no moving forward to some really good stuff waiting for you. The planet of action, Mars, will soon give you the kick in the rear you so desperately need around your birthday, so I advise that you pay attention to this gentle prodding from the Universe.<br \/>\n_____________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/taurus-buttom.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"taurus-buttom\" title=\"taurus-buttom\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-47\" \/>Other people communicate to you their dissatisfaction with how you handle your relationship with them. You are hearing some things that are long overdue, dear Taurus, and it a wise bull that will listen and take things to heart. Though you normally resist change, this is not the time to do so. The fact is there is no better time than now to make the changes that are so desperately needed.<br \/>\n_____________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/gemini-button.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"gemini-button\" title=\"gemini-button\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-48\" \/>Uncomfortably, for you, emotional issues dominate. Though you like to play both sides of the fence, now is the time when you need to make a choice. Will you pick the person that is needy and way too dependent on you, or the person who is chronically erratic and undependable? Neither sounds like a particularly good choice, so maybe it is time to evaluate who is in your life and why.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/cancer-button1.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"cancer-button1\" title=\"cancer-button1\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-61\" \/>Feeling warm, cozy and secure in your own little corner of the Universe, you are not aware of the power struggles around you. People are fighting for your attention, and you best make yourself aware of it. At stake are relationships with key people in your life. It is up to you to make the peace and smooth the ruffled feathers. You must also be aware that finances are not as secure as you think, so dig around and find the real dirt.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonleo.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonleo\" title=\"buttonleo\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-50\" \/><br \/>\nOther people take center stage, and you are expected to play the supporting role, an unaccustomed position for the regal lion. Even though the issues of the people in your life are important, even critical, Leo always suffers when they don\u2019t get enough attention. It is important for you to see the real issues here and understand we all can\u2019t have the spotlight each and every time.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonvirgo1.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonvirgo1\" title=\"buttonvirgo1\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-62\" \/>As much as you like to keep a tight lid on things, you\u2019ll life is due for a drastic change. You\u2019ll be adding to your family. A new love could be on the horizon or a child coming into your life. Whatever happens will be lightning quick, so you won\u2019t see it coming. That\u2019s why I\u2019m warning you now.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonlibra.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonlibra\" title=\"buttonlibra\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-53\" \/>Saturn moving through your sign turns up the heat, (or turns the screws, depending on your viewpoint) on your relationships. As usual you won\u2019t be able to make a decision and you swing back and forth between ardent desire and cool indifference. The grass isn\u2019t always greener so you best figure out what it is you really want and go for that.<br \/>\n_______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonscorpio.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonscorpio\" title=\"buttonscorpio\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-54\" \/>You are due for an incredibly luck turn of events though you don\u2019t appreciate everything the Universe is laying at your feet. Travel to exotic foreign lands is favored to such places like Egypt and Morocco, though if you\u2019re cash strapped, you may try a jaunt to D.C. Aside from that be ready to turn on a dime to march the beat of a different drummer, you should expect that things won\u2019t turn out as you expect though the results will be better.<br \/>\n_______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonsagittarius.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonsagittarius\" title=\"buttonsagittarius\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-55\" \/>One step forward and two steps back is the motto for this year. Your natural enthusiasm and tendency to act first and think about it latter works against you rather than helps. Instead of trying to devise some snappy patter to smooth over the rough spots, work at putting some effort into your grand plans. You\u2019ll go farther that way.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttoncapricorn.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttoncapricorn\" title=\"buttoncapricorn\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-56\" \/>Worldly ambitions hit a frustrating plateau this year when nothing you do seems to hit the mark and yet nothing is terribly wrong either. This is because this is a year to work on your relationships. Its time to develop your emotional side, dear Cap, and to do this the Universe must hit you upside the head. Its time to learn there is more to life than climbing the corporate ladder.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonaquarius.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonaquarius\" title=\"buttonaquarius\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-57\" \/>Much of the first part of the year has you feeling held back, as Mars in your opposite sign locks your into place. This is strange as things are pretty good for you much of the year. If you are single you are attracting admirers and if you\u2019re married, you two are more romantic than ever. The catch comes, however, when you fail to communicate about essential issues in the relationship for fear of upsetting the applecart. Of all signs, Aquarius, you know the importance of honesty. Come clean.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/astrologymediapress.com\/astrologyexplored\/files\/2009\/09\/buttonpisces.png?resize=83%2C83\" alt=\"buttonpisces\" title=\"buttonpisces\" width=\"83\" height=\"83\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-58\" \/>The planet of abundance Jupiter comes to visit your sign for a few months this year. Though his visit is brief, the afterglow of the big guy\u2019s presence sparkles the whole year through for you as you give off sexy vibes that bring new and unusual people in your life. Though most of these folks will end up as friends rather than lovers, one in particular will lock down your free loving ways. That\u2019s what you get for being so beautiful.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em>If you would like a question answered on these pages send your birth date, birth place and birth time along with your question to starrynightastro@aol.com.
