The Week Ahead for Virgo

Do you have dreams? More importantly, do you believe in your dreams? Bringing your vision into reality is the theme for 2012. I’m also going to say: be careful what you dream of... Some of the most important events that take place this year will be the result of your unconscious desires. Neptune, the planet of magic, miracles and illusion will move into your opposite sign on 3rd February, making its most important aspects – and therefore revealing its most mysterious potential – on or near 19th February, 20th May, 30th August, 14th and 28th November. Jupiter, the planet of increase arrives on your Mid-heaven in early June, and for the following twelve months should add to your happiness and success. You’ll make many journeys in 2012, both in terms of miles and experience, so right from 1st January, throw out those old belief systems, along with anything gathering dust, and prepare for a new and very different year.

Did we mention Mars? If your rocket ship to the stars is stuck on the launch pad, this sexy, feisty planet is just what you need – and you have it in your sign until July. Normally, the soul of discretion, passion directs your course in 2012. You’ll have the courage to leave ‘bad’ relationships and the confidence to take a risk on the strength of being madly in love. The partners of a few Virgos could go through a difficult and dispiriting patch, and it will be your job to take over the reins and supply an enormous amount of love and support. The theme of believing in your dreams is to be heard playing loudest in the area of love and relating, so while having the faith to keep going in trying circumstances will eventually be rewarded, you will have to be sure that you are not blinding yourself to a reality that everyone else can see.

2012 has a totally different dynamic to it. You may already have discovered that playing safe is not always the best solution, whether you’ve left it too late to find another job or undersold your talents. Learn to read the signals employers and people of importance are sending you: they will be subtle. Have confidence in your abilities, and don’t wait for someone to make the first move – mid-September is a superb time to launch new projects, and for opportunities to arise out of the blue. Other periods of importance include late May/early June and late November/early-December. You’ll have to be a little wary of business partnerships – cover yourself at every turn – and you must be tough in negotiations. Over the next eighteen months, Jupiter will prove a considerable help to your career, finances and your future all round: almost the only factors standing in the way are you and your self-deprecation!
