2007 in a nutshell:
2007 is a year of consolidation and preparation, as your sign eagerly awaits the arrival of superstar Jupiter, the planet of lottery wins and soul mate meetings into your sign December 18, where he hangs out through early January 2009. Up until then however, Jupiter stirs the pot in your past karma and subconscious zone, which means that you will revisit some of your past mistakes and get a chance to redo those things that you have always wished you could redo - such as taking that promotion you were offered last year or going on a date with the biggest geek in high school who is now a mini Bill Gates…

Saturn, your ruler and the planet of responsibility and structure spends the first eight months of the year in your solar eighth house of shared resources and other people's money - so don't hesitate to go into a real estate investment or something else with a sibling, partner or friend - it will all work out and you earthlings like to invest in solid things (as opposed to shares and bits of paper…)

And because Saturn is the planet of experience and responsibility, this transit will also encourage you to educate yourself about money management, investing, saving, spending and debt.

Once Saturn moves into your fellow earth sign of Virgo and your ninth house of higher learning and long distance travel, your options open up even more. You may decide to return to school to complete your education or earn an advanced degree or certification. If you do feel that this is what you want to do in 2007, get the funding in place before Saturn enters Virgo. You may very well be eligible for a loan, scholarship or tuition reimbursement.

Love:
If you're in a relationship and it's solid, you'll work even harder at making it more so. If you're single, you're looking for quality not quantity - so keep that in mind when you find yourself on a date and wishing you weren't. Best matches for you in 07 are Taureans, Virgos and Scorpios - they too are looking for quality.

Passion starter Mars fires things up in your sign mid-January through February 26, six weeks where you will definitely be on the hunt for someone special (and could very well find him too). Make the most of Mars's visit - take time out to make Valentine's Day extra special for you and your partner (even if it costs a bundle and you have to sit through dinner wearing the most uncomfortable panties and shoes ever!)

Mid-March, Venus sashays into your fellow earth sign of Taurus, your romance zone where she lingers through mid-April. If you've been hibernating somewhat, it's time to dust off your 'freakum dress' in the words of Beyonce and get out there.

Career:
You get a chance to apply for a job or promotion you passed over once before and this time, you finagle the pay and perks you want. Best times to jump ship to the opposition or take another job are from late June to early August, when Mars, the planet of 'just do it' graces your self-fulfillment and creativity zone. Many of you will also go into business or at least start something part time this year, with the influence of Saturn, your ruler in your eighth house of joint projects and shared resources through early September and then once Saturn moves into your higher education zone, your job may sponsor you to do your MBA or something similar - an opportunity not to be missed.

Travel:
With so much going on lovewise and job wise in 2007, you prefer to stick close to home - at least through September. Day trips, long weekends and short trips to islands to slow your flow are in order until Saturn moves into your overseas destinations zone early September and you get a severe case of wanderlust. Avoid travel in October while Mercury is retrograde but the first half of November is prime time to hit Europe or some other equally glam location.

Home:
Just because you get yourself a new flatmate this year doesn't mean the same old issues don't come up - again and again. Jupiter is teaching you a valuable lesson in your past karma zone. Next time be much more choosy about who you pick to live with you. Sure he or she is sweet, but dirty or late in paying their share of the rent and bills too - leaving you to cover the shortage month after month. For those of you living at home (still), you'll make it your mission to be out by the end of the year. And you will.
