2010 Yearly Horoscope for Aquarius

Overview

Aquarius often gets pegged as being a little too cerebral for its own good. But the truth is, that's where you do your best work. The next year is going to give you the opportunity to use those sharp mental powers to focus on what it is you really want out of life. Two eclipses fall in your Twelfth House, which will bring out your intuitive side, and give you a chance to see your life from a less-strictly-logical (yet no less valid) perspective. The additional information they give you about your life and your position in it will be your big chance to put things in order.

Saturn is also going to be bringing big changes as to your philosophical approach to life. What fundamental approaches to life have worked for you, and what haven't? You may have never stopped to ask that question, or known the benefits of finding the right answer to it. This year, those answers will come, and your life is likely to be a saner, better-adjusted place for it.

Of course, it's impossible to have a well-ordered world around you without having a few other people in it. The middle part of the year will see close friends and partners coming and going in your life, more so than you've seen in a long time. In part, this will be a reflection of the changes going on in your 'higher mind.' And again, the overall effect should be a positive one. It's your worldview, Aquarius -- make it the best you can!

Romantic

Wherever Cupid finds you on your birthday, in the following year you will be ending up somewhere significantly different. December through February may not necessarily bring bad news in your love life, but events will occur that cause you to challenge your satisfaction with where things are, regardless of whether or not you're involved with anyone. If you are in a committed relationship, you'll likely feel that pressures in your own life demand more time and attention, taking time away from your relationship. If you aren't with anyone at that time, you're probably going to find yourself questioning the joys of single life harder than you would normally.

General romantic opportunities, whether in a new relationship or with an existing partner, will increase significantly in two important time frames: April through June, and the last two months before your next birthday. In both cases, a small amount of effort on your part will reap significant rewards. It would be the optimum time to join a dating service, or in some other way change your search techniques.

If you're in a relationship but aren't fully committed, the entire year will bring pressures from within and without to change things up. Some of this will be subtle, whereas other pressures will be overt. The process peaks in July and August, and it's possible that you might feel cornered into making a big change that may not entirely be to your benefit. Of course, ultimately, it's your decision. Don't let anyone else make it for you!

Career

Adaptation and flexibility are absolute requirements for life in the modern world, and this applies to your work and money situation as much as to any other area of your life. Economic uncertainty has been running wild for the last year or so, and you've felt the fear just as much as anyone. The economic weather simply hasn't wanted to play along with your high ideals about how things should be. That's probably made you at least as fretful as the average person, and maybe more so. Fortunately, your unique gift for seeing an ideal and staying focused on it will have definite rewards in 2010.

When it comes to your actual sense of direction with your career and how you fit into life, Neptune will continue to make things fuzzy, but Jupiter is coming to the rescue! It moves into your Money House in January, and will bring much better luck with your cash supply. The entire period of January through September will see dramatically improved luck; not necessarily 'winning the lottery' type luck, though. The same amount of effort you put into your finances will be rewarded with better results. Take advantage of this time by using your head with your budget, and you will see dramatic gains.

Work in general will continue to be the same combination of grind and reward that you're used to throughout most of the year, with an overall slight reduction in pressure. April through June may find you subject to more than the usual share of office politics -- stay above it all and no harm will come to you. The last three months before your next birthday will see newfound energy and optimism with your work, and you'll be sure to impress someone higher up the food chain during that time. Congratulations!
