Forecast for Dec. 30, 2010-Jan. 12, 2011
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
The merger in Pisces of lucky Jupiter and unpredictable Uranus launches the New Year with the likelihood of a sudden change, breakthrough or spiritual awakening in your life during the next few weeks. This influence will also benefit philanthropy, technology, medicine and science. Also ringing in the New Year is the new moon in Capricorn on the 4th, an excellent time for some goal-setting. In the romance arena, lively connections to Venus from Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune on the 4th energize socializing. Then adventure and optimism fire up relationships as Venus jaunts through Sagittarius from Jan. 7-Feb. 2. On a more serious note, the sun-Saturn square on the 7th can make you aware of how you limit yourself. Finally, communications and ideas can be brilliant, expansive or impractical because of the square from Jupiter and Uranus to Mercury on the 10th-11th. Here’s to a joyful and prosperous 2011!
