As I write this the S&P TSX lies below its September/09 high.(I advised selling in September.)... Haiti's Port-o-Prince was levelled once before by an earthquake, 240 years ago. Both times Pluto, planet of the underworld, was in Capricorn.... LIBRA, in 2010 (to January 22, 2011) your luck revolves around work, health, machinery, computers, office systems, co-workers, service personnel, employees, and dependents (kids, pets). You'll face splendid opportunities to expand your reach, your ownership, and your practical results in these areas. For example, if you're a farmer, you might buy that big new combine or excavator. If you're white collar, perhaps you're assigned to a big new job, or obtain a great new computer system. If you own your own business you might expand, and hire more employees. If your business is struggling, your employees will be cheerful and understanding - hold an "ideas conference." In buying equipment or expanding, be financially realistic. Libran parents face a flurry of extra duties. If you're seeking employment, you'll find it now. Co-workers will be cheerful and friendly. Through May, hectic "love arrangements" - and/or a wedding, or a residence change, could bring a pile of extra work. Health conditions can expand very quickly, so take any complaint to an MD. Watch your hips, thighs, bones, teeth and "regularity." (If you were born September 22-24, the summer might bring a lucky marriage prospect.) SCORPI0, 2010 should be one of the most enjoyable years in a decade! You'll be lucky in speculation, sports, and games. In 2011, for the first time in 164 years, your romance planet will enter your romance sign for a 15-year stay. That's next year - but 2010 prepares you for true love by expanding your amorous luck. You'll attract upbeat, fun-loving people - "forerunners" of the mysterious, fascinating types who enter 2011 onward. But these cheerful lovers/prospects are very willing to join you in a round of fun activities, and hold your hand while doing it. You might (only might) discover a "fun person" has a deep streak of sensitivity, empathy and mystery - enough to qualify as your true love. Still, if love is school, 2010 is kindergarten. You'll encounter unexpected good luck in creative projects, education, vacation, far travel, publishing, teaching/raising kids, beauty and pleasure. Money or possessions are boosted in 2010. A large luxury purchase, perhaps a boat or cruise, could be slated. (If you were born October 22-24, the summer brings a new chore, or a big, looming task. You don't need to start early on it - 2011 will be soon enough.) Start Nothing: 8:58 p.m. Mon. to 2:43 a.m. Tues., 4:39 a.m. to 3:24 p.m. Thurs., and after 8:33 p.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 Wishes come true, Aries, especially Thursday to Friday, when friendship, flirtation, social delights, entertainment and happiness surround you! A wish about work, health or friendship (or about a short trip) is quite likely to be fulfilled unless you chase a romance that is flickering, almost out, or indulge your "lust" for war, lawsuits, or just raising H. Earlier, Sunday/Monday bring mellow wisdom, a broad view, cultural involvement, and possible love. Be ambitious Tuesday/Wednesday: but realize that ambition will bring nothing unless, these days, it is linked to change. Taurus April 20-May 20 Be ambitious all week. Meet bosses, parents or VIPs, present proposals, show what you can do, start important projects - especially Friday/Saturday. (Avoid "staying home" these two days, and don't let people in the home dissuade you from reaching higher. A Gemini or Virgo plays a key role. Your finances come to the forefront Sunday/Monday -mostly in a good way, except pre-suppertime Monday, when disruption's possible. Otherwise, you'll find you're in better shape than you thought! Wisdom, a mellow mood, intellectual, legal and cultural factors enter Tuesday to Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20 You remain in the midst of a mellow, understanding, loving and compassionate period. Intellectual matters flow well. You could meet someone exciting Sunday/Monday - but if it's Monday daytime (to 4 p.m.) he/she might be too exciting (stressful). (Don't bother seeking agreements or permission during the stressful period.) Mid-week, your financial picture, and your intimate life, come front and centre. Act in both areas after noon Tuesday, and you'll be fine. Those intellectual, cultural themes grow stronger Thursday eve through Saturday: chase travel, legal actions, education, love! Cancer June 21-July 22 The light continues to shine on your inner world/subconscious, and on secrets in the outer world. Be a detective! "Secrets" include perfectly legitimate actions in normally private spheres - investing, cleaning up debt, intimate commitments, health diagnosis, pregnancy, etc. A new project or development could occur in any of these Thursday to Saturday. Be thoughtful; don't be prodded by impulsive people these days. Earlier, Sunday/Monday bring chores. Dive in, but watch computer glitches or driving or electrical hazards Monday daytime: be patient. Relationships, diplomacy, mid-week. Leo July 23-Aug.22 Relationships fill this intriguing week, especially Friday/Saturday. You either delightfully join with others/another, or you flare fire in frustration. Be diplomatic, loving, cheerful, and you'll attract co-operators, even love. Be demanding, impatient or selfish, and you'll attract challengers, even enemies. The choice is yours! Some of you "attracted" a lawsuit last year. If so, now (February) you mull over where it all stands. Make decisions based on an honest look within, not just from stubbornness. Romance, creativity and pleasure visit you Sunday/Monday! Work, health mid-week. Intimacy is coming! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 You love to have a job to do, to feel useful. Well, week chores are everywhere! A new enjoyable and long-lasting task, even new employment, might arrive Thursday eve into Saturday. However, keep a watchful eye on your assets and deeper financial interests: this job might detract from or challenge them. (You might also link with a sexy person these days - be careful, hidden burdens lie here.) The week starts with a domestic focus: family, home, property, security. Take care in these Monday daytime, when disruptions or non-cooperation arise. Examine romantic, pleasure puzzles mid-week. Libra Sept. 23-Oct.22 The accent remains on romance, creative surges, winning speculations, games, sports, charming children (and teaching them) and pleasure. Something new could start in any one of these areas Thursday eve through next Sunday (February 14). You might begin a love affair. (Love for you will take a major, surprising, exciting turn from late May this year to 2018, so what arises this February might be a little premature, hence weak. But still, it rejuvenates you!) Earlier, casual friends, travel and errands fill Sunday/Monday. Careful driving Monday. Settle into home, rest, mid-week. Scorpio Oct.23-Nov. 21 The accent lies on endings and new beginnings. One of these might occur Thursday to Saturday, when you might be the dumper or the dumpee. However, the truth is you've wanted a change, and this is it, not glamorously, but deeply, quietly. A job, career or prestige question could be involved. (You're reacting to it, whether it appears involved or not.) These days also begin a new trend in home, security, real estate and family zones. Make money Sunday/Monday, but don't rely on computer or electrical components. Mid-week brings casual contacts, short trips. Read a newspaper. Sagittarius Nov.22-Dec. 21 The wind of errands, short trips, communications, calls, paperwork, details and small chores continues to blow. All's busy, but all's easy, too. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday/Monday - you'll attract friends, winks and help! Be careful driving (and with what you write, speak) Monday daytime. Chase money, buy/sell Tuesday/Wednesday, but start after 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) Tuesday. Those errands, trips and communications intensify Thursday to Saturday, and a new project or contact might begin. But Thursday also begins a month of peace and affection (love snuggles) on the home front. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan.18 Rest, lie low, contemplate and plan Sunday/Monday. Be charitable, spiritual. Avoid dealing with governments or institutions on money issues, especially Monday daytime. Your charisma and energy shoot upwards Tuesday to Thursday eve. Go out, be seen, make important approaches, start significant projects. Your requests will tend to be granted (but perhaps not before noon Tuesday - work hard, live up to demands at this time). Money "vibes" are in the air Thursday night through Saturday. This is a fruitful time, but be aware of, and careful with, long-term, investment, and shared funds. Aquarius Jan.19-Feb. 18 You're in vogue, in phase, in power! Your popularity soars Sunday/Monday, and dreams, wishes, seem tangibly within reach. Enjoy happiness, social delights, flirtations and life's optimism. But retreat for some restful sleep, contemplation, and healthy nourishment Tuesday to Thursday eve. This night, through Saturday, your energy and charisma soar. This is a time to start important projects, but keep a weather eye on relationships and bellicose people. A Leo, Gemini or Virgo might oppose you, but the Gemini, at least, is willing to be won over. Start no fights, even though you'd win. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Rest, lie low, contemplate and plan. Be spiritual and charitable. Uphold your end of obligations. Your worldly standing is in focus - and perhaps questioned - Sunday/Monday. "Head office" or administrative types might be involved. Just do what you can, and you should be fine. Your hopes rise as a wee breeze of optimism, social joys and flirty glances wafts through Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Those spiritual, charitable, government-related concerns rise Friday/Saturday. You might begin a new healing project. Avoid hot things and people.
