All Leo’s will probably relate to this…

SO what’s it like to be an Aries, let Debra Silverman show you.

And please use the link below to share this post with everyone you know.

Screaming and shouting at midnight, setting our new prayers in motion, we dream up our

promises and resolutions too often to be forgotten by the morning.

It is as if the New Year arrives and then we unconsciously make a promise to forget what we said just the night before.

By nature we are forgetful creatures.

Humans have a funny quality that is self defeating and unpredictable. The planets on the other hand are consistent and stable. The earth, the moon and all the other bodies revolving around our sun never ever forget their direction – or their promises. We count on the movement of the galaxy for our time keepers and destiny lines.

The northern star will always guide us to north. The sun comes up every single day – far

more consistently than any other human measuring device known to man. The planets are as

consistent and reliable as the sun is itself. And the planets work in rhythms that are

detectable to any good astrologer.

Every king, general, ancient governing body used astrologers to determine the grander cycles.

Let’s see what’s in store for 2010.

Here’s the heads up:

Capricorns, Libras, Aries and Cancers can be sure that change is arriving at your house – especially those born within the first week of the sign.

Capricorns (Dec 22-26th), Libras (Sept 22-Oct 8th) and Aries (March 22-April 1) and Cancers (June 24-July1).

Virgos are finally feeling a bit of relief from the pressure of the last two years and it’s not been easy.

Pisces are just around the corner from the magic you’ve been waiting for.

Yes, I know. To a Pisces…it’s always magic – but this year has a special tone

to it. It’s called fulfillment – you’ll see.

For you guys that I just mentioned, this New Year’s really is a time when you

can write down your resolutions, and make them tough, because you can trust your ability to follow through.

Saturn is on your tail.

Saturn is the old man of the zodiac. He will hold you accountable for what you say, and then support you towards real change.

The other signs I didn’t mention just keep trekking, movement is what the planets demands even if it’s slow.

If we go beyond the personal and look at what is amazing about 2010 for all of us what we

see that for the first time in 233 years – since the American Revolution of 1776 – Saturn is in Libra and Pluto is in Capricorn.

Over the next two years they will effect each other?

We could go so far as to say it s the stirrings of a revolution of sorts. A large change is on the edge of 2010.

That’s no surprise, right?

I don’t think we will see the full uproar until 2011 but certainly beginning with last year, the winds of change are blowing.

Who hasn’t felt them?

Let’s bring it back to the personal.

Saturn has a way of determining our destiny lines for each of us individually and it’s strong.  It works both ways inside us as individuals and in the collective reflection.

Here is a Saturn indicator that works every time.

No matter what sign you are just look at your life when you turned 29, figure out the

date,add 30 to your year of birth and then subtract one. This is the time that Saturn

made his grand appearance. With just a moment of reflection you will remember a time

when change was calling your name and you really couldn’t do anything else.

Change demanded your attention.

Think about it.

It is so interesting to me as a therapist and astrologer to see that there are times in

our lives when we are forced into movement.

It is not a choice.

“It’s all in the stars”, said the astrologer.

The last time this happened for the collective in that time during 1776-1778 when Saturn and Pluto bumped.

It wasn’t an easy time for the world.

Pluto in Capricorn means that Pluto- (transformation) – occurred within the structures (government/Capricorn), allowing a doorway to open in the collective psyche that began a radical new country: America.

Now there was a strong fated change as described by Pluto and Saturn. Easily discernible in hindsight. What will we say about 2010 in 233 years and the changes that were upon us.

What kind of forces led up to such a collective shift? What does it takes for an entire

society (England) to abandon old patterns and start a new way (America), or for a person to quit a habit that has been around for too long?

It requires time and a power source from larger cosmic influences and seasons.

Think about change and you will discover why it is that we say we want to do this and

that in the New Year and then do not follow through.

Change is hard and based on a timing that is often outside of our control. This sounds

fatalistic but it is not.

There are those that have the power to create their own reality, and they are the movers and the shakers in our world– but they are the exceptions. For most of us, we move with the tides and don’t even realize the influence the stars have on us either personally or collectively.

Few of us speak astrology or know much of what is to come. We humans seek comfort.

Is it OK to say that out loud?

For many of us, we are in a time in our life when change with a capital C is not readily available. We live within our comfort level and security issues.

This is the norm.

We are designed to maintain  order and safety at all costs.

We talk about change but we are often seeking equilibrium and the familiar.

So, if you are one of those people who – in your head – cannot stop complaining about your life, if you are in a cycle where you are gaining weight, losing money, disturbed by repetitious behavior or even addiction… maybe this is your fate.

You seek change but will not get there for a while yet.

Before the momentum arrives it can feel like forever. For most we wait for Saturn or an outer influence – love, a good therapist, friend, book – to inspire us to change, lose weight, work out, write or open our hearts.

That’s OK.

Everything moves in cycles and rhythms.

Wisdom is realizing that it is natural to want change, talk about it, dream about it, talk some more and then resist before the revolution is timely and ready.

Go ahead make your New Years Resolution. But don’t be mad at yourself if, in the morning, you forget.

We are human and unpredictable. We, like nature, change when life says ‘yes’. The trees cannot randomly lose their leaves (their weight) until the season arrives and then, like magic,

they change.

Effortless transformation: America began at the astrological moment it was meant to.

This is true of us too.

We are vulnerable creatures, yet we think we are in control.

What a joke.

You know how to make God laugh, tell her your plans.

We are at the mercy of the God Factor, the Planets and the seasons. Sure we are a team- we work together. The cycles and the human choice factor–but you are not a single act; you have to be in relationship with the all.

This is the theme of 2010.

Saturn is in Libra: this is a time of relationship with all our relations.

When the stars are in your favor, change is easy. When you have a support team to help

you carry the weight of your dreams – your friends, your counselor, your mate – you will make it to the end.

This year reach out and know that your fate is waiting for you.

It has nothing to do with the New Year – it is all about the hard facts. Change happens when it is ready. We all need friends and asking for help is the single easiest way to get to where you are going.

How are you at relationships and asking for help?

How are you at giving it?

Hope to hear from you in 2010. I love to help.

Listen to the astrologer: the planets are like clockwork. When it’s time, they will march right through your house with or without your consent and invite you to the party of change…even when it’s not New Year’s Eve.

This is a reason to check in with an astrologer, a good therapist or a good friend to see what can you do to facilitate change and to understand the invisible factor of time.

The more awake we are, thinking like this,  the more likely life and the revolution will find a graceful transition.

Change is on it s way to us with or without our consent.

So keep reading about this material so you are awake and on the team.
