2009 Sagittarius Forecast

Feed your spiritual appetite

The dynamic activity of your ruling planet, Jupiter, could make this an extraordinary year. Wise and generous Jupiter joins Neptune, the planet of spirituality and faith, on May 27, July 10 and December 21, opening your heart and mind to an inspiring vision of your future. Your imagination grows, your spirit soars and a greater awareness of the meaning of life nourishes your hunger for spiritual understanding. Jupiter also conjuncts Chiron the Wounded Healer on May 23, July 22 and December 7, adding another layer of sensitivity and compassion to this memorable period of your life. Vulnerability can become a gift now, rather than a burden or source of embarrassment. The tenderness of your heart and the flexibility of your mind allow you discoveries that you couldn't make with intellect alone. What you're seeing could appear to be beyond your reach, but it's not. Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron are present in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, allowing you to perceive the many blessings in your daily life and reminding you that you can turn dreams into reality.

The heightened stimulation of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in your 3rd House of Learning is likely to intensify your interest in sharing new ideas with others. Expressing yourself creatively through writing or teaching can be especially rewarding now. However, you may have intuitive experiences or psychic perceptions that aren't easily put into words and some people you know might not be open to such unconventional ideas. Finding less literal forms of communication such as art, music or dance may prove more satisfying -- these connect directly to the profound inspiration you're feeling. Letting go of one form of telling your story and replacing it with a new one may result from a Solar Eclipse in your 3rd House of Communication on January 26. A conjunction to the eclipse from visionary Jupiter empowers you to broaden your perspective and gives you the enthusiasm to effectively present it to others.

Staying on course professionally might be a challenge this year as Saturn, the planet of responsibility, passes through your 10th House of Career and opposes rebellious Uranus in your 4th House of Home and Family. Face-offs on February 5 and September 15 -- the second and third in a series of five that began in November 2008 and finishes in July 2010 -- divide you between your job obligations and an urge for personal freedom. These planetary struggles can make it difficult to concentrate on your career, perhaps even signaling that difficulties at home require your close attention. Ideally, strategic Saturn helps you chart a new course in your life that brings more excitement to your work, including the possibility of starting your own business. If you don't have that option, however, make sure to take as many breaks from your responsibilities as you can to avoid burning out or blowing up and making an impulsive move you could regret.
