You may have been doing all you can to maintain harmony at home and to find peace in yourself in 2011. This drive to create a more solid foundation will continue into 2012, perhaps requiring more negotiations and compromises with your partner or, if you're single, reviewing your relationship history to better understand the patterns that have shaped your personal life thus far.

There's a major shift on Oct. 5, though, when serious Saturn moves into your 5th House of Romance, where it will stay for more than two years. This is a powerful transit that can reshape the ways in which you express yourself, which should make you more skillful at impressing others. It's also about taking charge in terms of what you give and what you expect in return. A Solar Eclipse in your 5th house on Nov. 13 also signals a change of style in matters of the heart as you let go of ineffective old behavior patterns.
