^ ARIES March 21 - April 20
The Solar Eclipse lands in the house of your ‘emotional self’. This is the area of life not seen by too many people. It harbors many buried insecurities from the past, particularly around childhood issues that could still be impacting on your everyday life. This is the perfect time for a little self examination by locating any hurts or scars that have not quite healed. Recognise any habitual thoughts you have about yourself based on what your family said or on your early life experiences. It’s time to make a shift to toward allowing the past to be the past and release any residual emotional baggage that stops you from being the best you can be.
_ TAURUS April 21 - May 21
The Solar Eclipse lands in your house of perception. This is the arena of life where you ‘see what is really there’ unclouded by judgements, opinions and biases. It is all about cold hard facts and the need to digest them. You may be urged to release your personal spin on many issues, understanding situations logically and rationally. Living a life of dreams and ideals will not help you now, in fact not having a clear head could get in the way of starting something new. Be curious and open yourself up to new information and a variety of possibilities, yet remain firmly grounded in reality by accepting all the facts exactly as they are.
` GEMINI May 22 - June 21
The Solar Eclipse lands in your house of worth and value having you look closely at your security issues particularly around dumping what you don’t need and revamping what you do. This can be a very confronting time as you will be asked to consider how much of your true value you sacrifice just to remain materially secure. The Universe always supports our real talents and that could be anything from being a good parent to running a country. It will also supply all we need financially and materially when we utilise them. Stop wasting your life just to keep you head above water and open up to real abundance by recognising what makes you truly worthwhile.
a CANCER June 22 - July 23
The Solar Eclipse occurs in your sign, landing in your house of identity. This brings a whole new energy to the way you project and assert yourself. Yet before you can begin to reinvent a new style you must be prepared to ditch some of your old attitudes and the way you operate. This will be felt strongly throughout the year by those born July 10-14. You are being asked to plant new seeds around independence and autonomy making you take a good look at how you could be sacrificing important parts of yourself just to keep the peace. Be aware of the segments of life where co dependency may be keeping you stuck as it will be in these areas where you will need to take a stand. Don’t be afraid to own what you want and be brave with attaining it.
b LEO July 24 - August 23
The Solar Eclipse occurs in the house of ‘release’ asking you to turn inward, connecting you to a power much greater than your earthly self. It’s funny how in times of extreme stress or fear we reach out to the ‘heavens.’ Well it’s now time to go there, whether you think you need it or not. Our subconscious holds much of what keeps us fearful, yet on a daily basis we have no awareness that this part of us even exists. The non tangible self is just as real as anything we can see or feel, and on a much deeper level it is interacting constantly with our everyday lives. It’s time to make conscious contact with this area by seeking silence and calming environments. Ask to let go of any baggage that could be hindering your growth. Deeply believe in healing and free yourself by recognising the meaninglessness of your earthly dramas. This will clear a channel for attracting new things to come.
c VIRGO August 24 - September 23
The Solar eclipse occurs in your house of future vision. This can be a rather exciting time with getting new plans in order and reinventing your goals. To get the ball rolling on a new path you are asked to let go of any old aspirations that have gone past their expiry date. These plans may have been purposeful at one time in your life but now it’s time to move forward and plant new seeds by updating the way to make a difference. Envisage a path toward something that you feel will benefit your future not only on a personal level but also on a wider social scale. Be mindful of breaking away from anything that is keeping you stale. If you are happy with your current direction then this will only open extra doors for you to branch from.
d LIBRA September 24 - October 23
The Solar eclipse occurs in your house of concrete ambition. Attention will be drawn toward new ways of consolidating who you are in the public realm and your contribution to the world at large. This will require a certain amount of responsibility and maturity as you will be asked to leave behind any indulgent or bratty behavioural patterns that thwart you from being a productive member of society. New beginnings are emerging making it the perfect time to buckle down and get real with what you have to offer. What you plant now will flower over time, making you accountable for your input or lack thereof. If you are currently satisfied with the way you contribute to society then this energy will add a new focus and discipline with strengthening what’s already there.
e SCORPIO October 24 - November 22
The Solar eclipse occurs in your house of ‘broader horizons’ beginning a phase that could stretch you way beyond your usual scope. This may happen in a number of different ways depending on where you are at present. If you are stuck in a rut this could be the time to experience the more adventurous side of life. Make plans for travel, exploring or just plain risk taking. You may be enticed to try something that is totally alien to you just for the benefit of experiencing life beyond your four walls. You may feel a need to begin new educational subjects particularly with topics from a bigger picture perspective. You will also be asked to leave behind any fears that are holding you back from seeking a more meaningful life. Basically you will be pulled out of a tiny playground and plonked into an endless field. This has everything to do with ‘faith’ not so much in the religious sense but in the belief that life supports a positive attitude and that risks do pay off.
f SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 22
The Solar eclipse occurs in your house of merging with ‘the other’ and could begin a phase where your personal connections become a lot more enmeshed. This will really ring many of your ‘trust’ bells and you could get taken into what you think is rather scary territory. It is an opportune time to plant seeds on a financial level with joint bonds, investments and partnerships yet you will also be asked to let go of any fears that have kept you stuck when it comes to sharing. Control issues could also come to the fore, particularly on the levels of one upmanship and emotional vulnerability. This is more about trusting the way you personally deal with partnerships rather than trusting another and could release a whole new sense of personal power that does not rely on control or manipulation.
g CAPRICORN December 23 - January 20
The Solar eclipse occurs in your house of ‘balance’ bringing a sense of peace and equilibrium into your life. This is an ideal time to turn the page on situations where the scales could be tipped too far to one end. This will be felt strongly by those born January 9th- 13th.Take a good look at your personal life and notice where things may not be all that equal. This could occur on any level of personal interplay from your life - partner to co workers. You may find yourself sitting on either end of the scale by either giving too much or too little. It is an important time to start evening things up. This will include dumping much of your overly selfish or at the other end, co dependant behaviour to achieve equality. Fairness and justice are high on the list of areas to concentrate on so make sure that any new seeds planted are on an equal playing field.

i PISCES February 20 - March 20
The Solar eclipse occurs in your house of life itself putting some zing back into step. It’s time to be rid of any stale old fears that are keeping you from having genuine fun. I’m not taking about sex, drugs and rock and roll but something that pales that into insignificance. It’s call ‘appreciation’- of who you are and just being alive. It’s time to begin to see yourself as radiant then shine on those around you. It all sounds very ‘Pollyanna’ but this is anything but cheesy. It’s all about creation, passion, love and stamping your personal signature on something that reflects you. Get over any excuses that hold you back from ‘playing.’ If you can manage time away from your work or your usual routine this year then do it and put all your energy into kicking back. Say goodbye to guilt and spend your days smelling the roses.
