YOUR LUCK CYCLE FOR 2009
Technically, our new luck cycle runs from January 5, 2009 to January 17, 2010
-while Jupiter, the planet of luck, largesse and expansion, travels through the
sign Aquarius. During the first 7 months and 21 days of 2009 (to August 21) the
lunar north node - an indicator of good karma and peaceful, protected results -
also travels through Aquarius, making the first two-thirds of 09 a rarely
fortunate time, especially for those who follow their luck! (Karma's harder to
see, but it generally is involved with acting morally, honorably, and trying to
choose outcomes that will benefit the most people. So we could also say that
those who seek their best self, who truly strive to do the right thing, to be
"good" - will also be lucky. So when in doubt where your luck lies, do good, and
you'll find it! (You can read your karmic outline for January through August,
2009, in the "Karmic Forecast" article on this site.)
Here are your individual luck forecasts: |
|
|
Aries
- (March 21-April 19)
|
|
ARIES, 2009 (January
5/09-January 17/10) hugely expands your social life. Your
work remains hard and heavy for much of 09, but don't
overwork to the point of neglecting your social needs. You
could enter a new circle that brings fresh understanding,
higher hopes, cheerfulness and practical luck - benefits
that will stick to you for a decade - perhaps for your
entire life. You've been attracted to friendly oddballs,
psychics, therapists and shy people over the last few years
- this trend continues. Your interactions with such people,
which have often taken place in an aura of privacy, now move
to a more public arena, in a beneficial way. If you're an
artist, writer or other creator, your public acceptance/fame
will rise. This is a great year to organize collective
undertakings, to open an art gallery or start a political
party, join unions, conventions, plan parties, to issue and
accept invitations. You might not meet your true love in a
social venue, but you certainly will encounter flirtations
and frequent amorous opportunities (though avoid deep
infatuation before September). An uncanny wisdom (or
luck/divine protection) keeps you so "on track" to rewards.
A major wish will come true. |

Taurus
- (April 20-May 20) |
TAURUS, your new luck
cycle (January 5/09-January 17/10) has already
started, but don't "chase it" until February onward.
Your 2009 luck encompasses ambition, prestige,
increased community standing, relations with VIPs,
bosses and parents, and business ownership or
entrepreneurial ventures. In 09, even a little effort
can yield big rewards. You might find that funding,
finances, research, closed-door meetings, acting in
secret (but honestly) are also involved, in a
beneficial way.
The people you deal with will tend to have a stack of
money, or the ability to make it steadily. If you're
job hunting, you'll naturally gravitate toward
financially sound, even generous employers. (Yes, even
on what appears to many to be the cusp of a
depression. If they're right, then you should use 2009
to get yourself into a strong, secure position
career-wise. Your parents are likely to be generous
this year, so work on a practical or investment
proposal to put to them. If you're a parent, you'll
enjoy your role this year, as you get to be generous,
cheerful, educational and proud all at the same time! |

Gemini
- (May 21-June 20) |
|
GEMINI, 2009 is
chock-full of things you love: international travel,
foreign contacts, university or other higher learning,
philosophical, legal, religious or other
mentally-expanding pursuits, cultural events,
publishing, advertising, media contacts - and love, a
meeting-of-minds type of love. (An Aquarian or Libra -
or any fire or air sign - might be involved.) This is
not essentially a practical year. Instead, follow any
path that promises to expand your understanding or
show you a larger picture of life. You might be
shunted into a lawsuit (which you're favored to win).
You might wed, or if you've been unhappily married,
you might legally divorce. (If so, it is likely the
"third year" of this relationship's breakdown, so it's
no surprise.) If you're in doubt about any situation
this year, employ a lawyer - in making a large
purchase, employment or other negotiations, demanding
your rights, marrying ("pre-nup") etc. Lawyers are
your friend now. Learn, rather than meditate. Study
religion rather than seek spirituality. A foreign-born
person might prove fortunate for you - as a lover,
fianc‚, scholar, lawyer, business associate, etc. Wait
until February (09) to plunge into any of these lucky
matters. |

Cancer
- (June 21-July 22) |
CANCER, the 12 months
ahead (to January 17, 2010) offer you tremendous luck
in financial, intimate and "transformation" zones.
Your investment sense will be superb, so put some
money into play. This is a great year to improve your
overall situation in life by doing one (or many) of
the following: invest, reduce debt (even go bankrupt
if necessary) change lifestyles (perhaps via changing
your residence or neighborhood) research and
diagnosis, visit psychics or occultists (astrologers,
card readers, etc.) or therapists and advisors, life
coaches, psychiatrists, family counselors, etc., deal
with wills, estates and inheritances (yes, one might
come!) reform your tax regime, enter intimate bonds
with someone, get pregnant, share financial, emotional
and/or physical depths with trusted people, or change
partners. But in this last - actually, in all these -
be strictly honest and moral, or you could get burned,
and waste this lucky once-in-a-decade chance! Much of
your luck will come in tandem with a relationship
(person or group) so be diplomatic, unselfish, and
other-oriented. It won't be a joyous, bubbly year,
Cancer; it will be a serious, confident, deeply
regenerative, lucky, growth year. Any of these great
benefits might be tied to or enter through your work.
Protect your health.

Leo -
(July 23-Aug. 22) |
LEO, your luck in 2009
(to January 17, 2010) focuses primarily on
relationships. If single, you can meet your perfect
mate - someone cheerful, lucky, attractive, and wise.
(Or at least, in a wise phase of their life. No
guarantees here!) Married or single, you'll meet
lucky, optimistic people who would make great partners
and associates, whether for a short interval, or
forever. Almost all your luck in 09 will come through
the good graces of others, so be diplomatic, eager to
join, loving, forgiving - and use the salesperson's
technique of accenting another's desires over your
own.
This splendid luck in relations - perhaps the highest
of your life - also includes contract negotiations,
agreements, dealings with the public, fame, politics
and competitive sports. Your very "environment" is
lucky - so get out and seek success. It's a perfect
year to relocate - near or far. If you're in an
unhappy relationship, in business or marriage, this
influence can bring a final split. But even this is an
improvement! For most of 2008, you've experienced a
bit of turning inward, unconstructive independence,
perhaps even a wee bit of self-pity. Drop these now,
or you'll chase Lady Luck away! |

Virgo
- (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) |
VIRGO, January 5, 2009
to January 17, 2010, brings you luck in work, health,
service trades, and with dependents and tools. This is
a great time to increase your earnings via longer
hours, to collect overtime pay or "moonlight."
However, you'd be wiser to aim for a pay raise than
overtime, as the former will yield benefits over the
years to come, rather than just for this year. (I know
that's easier said than done, in this economic
climate.) New employment beginnings are luckily
emphasized, but you might face the end of one job
before you can grasp a bigger, better one. So if you
are laid off, consider it a blessing in disguise; let
it spur you to search for the job you've always
wanted. (Forestry, agriculture, horticulture, food and
shelter industries such as real estate, food
processing, furniture or diaper factories, childcare,
teaching, etc., are now fertile fields for your
talents.) Home repairs and do-it-yourself projects
will draw you. Parents face a splendid time to set up
children's health, future schooling, etc.
This is a splendid time to buy machinery or tools of
any kind, from pencils to excavators. You'll find that
supplies are plentiful, therefore cheap. Jupiter, the
planet bringing you all this luck, is not always
lucky. It can sometimes merely mean "expansion" - so
guard your health in 2009, as any ailments might grow
quickly. Especially guard your digestive system and
hips and thighs.
2009 might put you on an employment plateau that lasts
for over a decade! |

Libra
- (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) |
LIBRA, your 2009 luck
cycle (January 9/09-January 17/10) brings a wave of
romantic, creative, speculative and pleasure
opportunities - the highest, luckiest wave in over a
decade! This doesn't mean you'll automatically fall in
love at first sight and spend the year with a madly
beating heart. Jupiter, the planet signaling this
romantic luck, tends to cause optimism, luck and
camaraderie - so it's more that you'll be presented
with friendly, upbeat potential amours, than with
seductive, sultry, simmering fantasias - the magic
will come after you get involved, not before. If
you're married and/or a committed parent, your
children will supply all the magic -you'll be
surprised and gratified by their progress on virtually
all levels: they display maturity, accomplishment, and
charm!
This is a great year to take risks, so be a little
adventurous. DON'T be held back by safety or security
motives. Travel to exotic places, write, phone or
"bump into" that person who intrigues you, take a wee
gamble at the stock market, racetrack or your
neighborhood poker game, join a sports team, or
exercise your creative being. Libra
artists and writers will have a great year, plunging
into audacious new techniques. Most importantly,
whatever your pursuit, dive in when you feel most
"full of beans," most vibrant, optimistic, cheerful -
those are the hallmarks of luck in 2009!

Scorpio
- (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) |
SCORPIO, your new luck
phase, from January 5, 2009 to January 17, 2010, is
likely to arrive like a big sigh of relief. For the
first time in 13 years, you are immensely favored to
buy and sell real estate. Anything you do to improve
your domestic situation should pay off for many years
to come, in both financial and emotional ways. Even if
you're a renter without a down payment, you can change
accommodations in lucky ways - e.g., move to a more
spacious, attractive place, change neighborhoods, or
press the landlord for a rent reduction. Even if you
only have a few thousand bucks, find a rural bit of
land you can buy for vacation tenting or a future
retirement cottage, etc.
It's a splendid year to buy furniture, landscape,
renovate - or have a baby! You are more favored
through mid-August than later. 2009 is also a great
time for emotional and psychological healing, whether
within your self, or on a broader scale, such as
family counseling. Whatever grief you might be holding
like a ten-pound bag, you'll let it go this year -
leading to a rebirth of your freshness, vitality, and
optimism about life. This precedes a 2010/2011 in
which you'll begin a great romantic and creative
surge! But, meanwhile, rest and soak up the
rejuvenating influence of nature. Go camping! |

Sagittarius
- (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) |
SAGITTARIUS, January
5/09 to January 17, 2010 shunts your luck and your
personal leanings, your preferred action, into the
spheres of communications, quick trips, travel by land
or over short distances, distribution, transportation,
news media, computers/internet, paperwork, details,
errands, casual contacts, siblings and curiosity.
Curiosity is most important - it can lead to answers,
ideas and new vistas that will benefit you later.
2009's explorations could lead you to a place where
you'll establish your 2010 home - which will be a
welcome relief and stabilizer of a domestic situation
that has, for some years, been in flux. (2010 will
bring the end of 7 ears of tension.) 09's explorations
can also lead to beneficial security, investment,
therapy, family-oriented, child-birthing, retirement
and similar lucky actions in 2010. But for now, learn
and explore. Haunt the internet - for it's the easiest
way to go places swiftly, to see what they hold. Learn
how to make money - or, more significantly, what money
is, what it means, and how people use it. This will
create a deeper, stronger ability to earn in years
following. An Aquarian might have something to tell
you! |

Capricorn
- (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) |
CAPRICORN, your new luck
cycle, January 5/09 to January 17, 2010, involves
money. Earnings, buying/selling, possessions, memory,
and rote learning - all these are luckily emphasized.
Items could cost less, or your income increases, or
both - in any case, what you own grows! But, as usual
for you, luck comes with increased responsibilities.
You can gain financially from government agencies,
organizations such as hospitals, head office,
warehousing, assembly lines, and management or
policy-making in general. Try to make 2009's financial
progress permanent rather than temporary - for
example, it would be better to obtain a pay raise that
might last into future years, than simply collect
temporary overtime. This is a good year to buy and
sell stocks, but NOT, before August 22, a good time to
buy and hold, nor to make any large financial
commitments or major life alterations. Luck will come
from accepting surface appearances as they are,
without suspicion or too much research.
Your sensual luck also increases in 2009, but brings
an easy-going harmony between you and the opposite sex
rather than a bonfire of passion. You might wed this
year, but if so, it should be the culmination of a
long, steady process in love (at least from last year)
rather than a casual undertaking with someone you've
just met in 2009. If someone new does come into your
life, make sure love shines beneath an easy
sensuality. |

Aquarius-(Jan.
20-Feb. 18) |
AQUARIUS, your personal
luck soars throughout 2009! No more waiting in the
back room for life to deal with you when (and how) it
wants to. A surge of confidence and optimism will
speed you forward to hopeful goals. Your social life
will expand mightily. To increase your luck, be
gregarious - accept and extend invitations, join
clubs, groups, political parties, unions, NGO's,
community activists, aid organizations - and speak to,
sell to, or instruct groups. Secret, political,
planning or therapy groups can help transform your
career, bring government aid, or recover lost
retirement security/income.
Dreams come true this year - so dream big, and embrace
life with new hope! Entertainment, social delights,
flirtations, parties and sports - all fill your year.
You'll attract others with your cheerfulness - but
play the field until September, as marital prospects
will be flawed. October onward brings a fiery,
enthusiastic person who captures your heart! If you're
happily married, 2009 brings adventure; if unhappily
married, a possible split. |

Pisces
- (Feb. 19-March 20) |
PISCES, your luck in
2009 will be centered in your private life, in
charitable acts and spiritual pursuits. This is a time
of contemplation and preparation. You won't feel as
ebullient as you did in 2008. You'll be quieter, and
will feel a little less effective in social settings,
but your luck will shine in planning and investments.
Rather than chase glitzy social or romantic scenes,
curl up with your cozy partner and/or family. This is
a great year to find your special hideaway, vacation
cabin or retirement home.
Many things coalesce in 2009 to transform your
personality and alter your priorities. You're
preparing for a "new you" to emerge powerfully in
2010/11. That will be a time of huge personal luck -
your inner being will surface to deal directly with
those around you - as it never has in your lifetime.
But that's 2010 - 2009 is a final, important
preparation for this emergence. How to prepare? Think,
be charitable, meditate, study yoga and/or work on
your relations with higher-ups. Closed-door
discussions will benefit you. Your star will rise on
administrative, managerial fronts - you could be
promoted.
The following are lucky for you in 09, Pisces:
government agencies, organizations, hospitals,
universities and parole boards, etc., warehouses,
factories and assembly lines, psychics, spiritual
groups, research, think tanks. You'll get a tax break! |
