  Cancer - (June 21-July 22)

  CANCER people are in for a "major wave" next year through 2022. This wave could bring the most complex set of events and feelings you've ever felt. It contains upheaval, joy and attraction - and might challenge your deeply held beliefs about love, partnership, and - the world. Some of you Cancers have endured a stale "security" relationship for many years. You're not elated, but you're not ready to make a break, either. If this describes your present partnership situation, get ready for some wild times, 2008 through 2022. During these fifteen years, ALL Cancer relationships will change - but in varying ways. Happy Cancer partnerships (in love and/or business) will transform, grow deeper and more interesting - perhaps via a struggle or two, as you and your other half jockey for position, for strength and to settle "who's in charge" in certain areas. (Even if you don't mean to - for much of this is subconscious, and emerges to the surface slowly, like a puzzle rising from the depths. The puzzle, Cancer, is your own destiny, asking you to recognize it!) Unhappily mated Cancers will face the same struggles and puzzles, but in this case you might renew your search for satisfying compatibility somewhere else. For all of you, this long wave will bring deep, true love - will either deepen the love you have, or split you apart and bring you true love from another. Nothing's free, though - whether you're going to find deeper love with your present mate or someone new, it will demand concessions: co-operation and flexibility on your part, openness, honesty, and the ability to surrender a certain amount of your financial and/or psychological security. You will be attracted to people who 1) seldom reveal their motives; 2) are fixed, or stubborn, and 3) wield a magnetism or charm that gets right into your heart and won't let go! If you're single, all the above applies - except that, of course, you aren't breaking up or transforming a present relationship. A new love that you do encounter will pull you into transformation anyway - of your deepest soul, in some cases. This fifteen-year "wave" begins with great luck and expansion of your relationships, and of opportunities in general, in 2008 - true love might appear! Others will treat you cheerfully. Luck will rise in relocation, contracts, negotiations, dealings with the public and all relationships. In 2009, sex and finances explode with luck. 2010's a fortunate year for a wedding, love, far travel, legal, learning and media involvements. 2011 brings career success, and 2012 again promotes finding true love.

  Sagittarius - (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  SAGITTARIUS, let's look at your 17 years ahead (2008 to 2024). First, and absolutely foremost, the meat grinder of the past 12 years - Pluto's stay in your sign from 1996 to 2007 - comes to a halt. The gloom and frustration, the power plays, the feeling of being isolated and a pawn of life - these end. There was a purpose in all this: life (Pluto) was attempting to awaken you to other realities, to the irrational, spiritual, deeply psychological, emotional and hidden elements of life. To do that, it had to dampen your natural inclination to ride on the surface of a friendly, cheerful, and logical life. Subtly and vastly, Pluto brought quietude and isolation like inclement weather. But just as "bad" weather's rain helps the trees grow, so these 12 years have given the roots of your consciousness a long drink of beneficial insights that over the years will lead to ultimate understanding - to bring you knowledge beyond the illusions of insensitive logic. 2007 has created a "nova effect" - it has mingled Pluto's "rainy day" introversion with a surge of personal expansion. This expansion should have freed and uplifted you, bringing understanding, even a joyous new life - but if you rebelled, 07 so far might simply have expanded the gloom and frustration. This August opens the door to ultimate knowing - you'll glimpse the answers and find your philosophical feet! 2008 contains a few echoes of the past 12 years, but overall, as both Pluto and Jupiter exit your sign and enter your money sector, a great weight will lift. 2008 will be a massively lucky and important "establishment year" for your earning power and possessions. For 17 years, you will build a castle of money. Your financial success will in part depend on the intuition, sensitivity and awareness you developed in the last 12 years. In 2010/11 you'll embark on one of the most romantic years of your life. In 2013, if single, you're likely to marry. A lucky opportunity, perhaps demanding relocation, will confront you. The entire 2011-2019 period brings inspiration, creativity, romance, speculation and adventure! But these enjoyable things might conflict with monetary, sexual, and practical needs, especially in 2014-16. Get ready to make a choice!

  
  

  Pisces - (Feb. 19-March 20)

  PISCES, the 17 years ahead (2008 to 2024) bring a much more mellow life. You've come through a "meat grinder" in career, status, VIP relations, and parent-kid spheres during the 1996-2007 cycle. For many young Pisceans (including two of my daughters) this has occurred naturally, as a breaking away from parental influence and seizing the opportunity of career-oriented education. But for others, the grinder has been more gruesome, forcing you into making big career decisions, loading bigger burdens on your shoulders, making bosses a bit more draconian, etc. All Pisceans - no matter your age - should have steered yourself, this past decade, toward higher career plateaus through higher education or foreign travels. In 2008, the pressure starts to dissolve; by 2009, it disappears, as a wave of new goals, new social circles and new, uplifting contacts begins. In 2008 a bonanza comes, of new acquaintances, flirtations, promises and prospects, new goals, new wishes, huge popularity and one particular dream coming true! In 2010 your personal luck soars to new peaks. You'll become so cheerful, confident and extroverted you'll surprise yourself. Your career luck will rise. In-between, in 2009, make sure you take a breather to get your rest. Use this "down time" year ('09) to contemplate the changes that are filling your life (slowly, like water fills a sponge) and to plan ahead, to envision where you want to go over the decade or two ahead. (The effect on you will be a lot like the effect on Capricorn - though lighter, easier than for Capricorn - so you can read the May 20 preamble for that sign for additional clues - it's in the Archive on the astral site.) In 2011, you begin an additional journey, a spiritual one that lasts into 2025, and brings you to your ultimate, complete self. These two "waves" - 2008 to 2024 and 2011 to 2025 - merge to lift you to the height of life, understanding and accomplishment. If you enter this 17-year wave as a single, you might marry someone you first meet at a social function. From 2011 onward, an intense person could pursue you - one who will tell you, before much time has passed, that he/she has never known true love before. This person will be secretive, stubborn, sentimental and loyal, and you might thank the heavens that he/she found you.

  
  

  Virgo - (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  In 2007, VIRGO, you should be establishing a new home (or changing homes) whether physically, psychologically, in terms of family make-up, whatever. Think of a "place to stand." Then, 2008 to 2024 will bring one of the deepest romantic, creative, inventive, successful periods of your life. I don't mean successful in career (though this is not denied) but on a more emotional, experience-of-life level. Your appreciation of beauty will climb, as will you ability to express your deeper emotions. You'll discover a new ease in speaking with members of the opposite sex. This won't come over you like a sudden bolt from the blue, but in a slow, deep, growing way - you'll look back and think, "Wow, I was so smooth and sincere, I would have convinced even myself." (Actually, you won't even think that - you'll just do it.)Virgo artists and writers will find themselves expressing deeper ideas and visions, almost involuntarily. From 2011-2024, this romantic ease and depth will be overlaid with a natural marriage period. This period won't be easy nor simple; your prospects for marital bliss can waver and fluctuate like a swimming pool light. Think of it this way: every time you're sincere, clear, and free of an ulterior motive, you'll see your prospects, and attract them (and experience true love with your mate if already married) in a clear, calm, smooth, expanding and fulfilling way - all the way to ecstasy! But if you have a hidden agenda, if you're selfish, aggrandizing, deceptive, or not "clear," then, like a trembling of the swimming pool surface, the light of love will trick and betray. (You'll know you're in one of these "anti-love" moods, because in these states you'll be frothed up, shilly-shallying, vibrating indecisively between options, filled with both grand visions and fears, anxieties and bliss.) Successful relationship, during these years, will be spelled u-n-s-e-l-f-i-s-h. And loneliness, anger and deep puzzlement will be spelled without the u-n. 2008 will be one of the luckiest and biggest years of your approaching creative, romantic era - and your success will directly relate to the success you have had in 2007, in establishing a home, a new residence, or, psychologically and emotionally, a place of solidity and security. (If you have not already found this "place," use August 21 or 22 to find it, and August 30/31 to commit to it.) From 2010 through May 2012, your life will change through a series of lucky meetings and financial or intimate involvements. This can signal marriage for singles, beneficial divorce for unhappy Virgos, marital bliss for happy couples, and lucky opportunities for all, especially involving property, children, relocation, etc.
