Aries

Changes and new exciting interests let you face Saturn's passage with courage and determination. The beginning of the year seems rather complicated, but come Spring you'll be able to rely on Pluto's positive influence to sort things out, even your love life. Ponder your choices.

Taurus

For you 2010 is dominated by love and sexuality. Work continues to go smoothly and will bring the expected rewards. If you ended a relationship last year, take time out to reflect and enjoy the flirting opportunities the stars have in store for you.

Gemini

Light hearted and loving Gemini, be sure to dress in your lucky colour: yellow. Expect new opportunities to arise; conditions for creative work and new business contacts are especially favourable. Keep an eye on your finances, but don't worry about love as 2010 is characterized by intense affinity with your partner.

Cancer

Leo

In spite of a lukewarm start, by the end of 2010 your finances will be back on track.

Health-wise, watch your liver.

Virgo

The new year will start off at a very slow pace. Like a diesel engine, you'll need to warm up for a while before everything is balanced enough to move forward without hiccups. The stars favour new love in Spring and Summer. Work will require collaborating with peers; try not to lose your focus. Cut down on smoking and drink responsibly.

Libra

This is the time to make big decisions, and take your life in a totally new direction. Don't let uncertainty stop you from making choices early in the year: make a careful plan and dare to succeed.

Be careful, mind your stress level and mood swings. Motto for the year? Observe, be patient and everything will turn out as you wish.

Sagittarius

With Uranus and Saturn in opposition till Autumn you'll have plenty to worry about, but from an employment standpoint, your irrepressible optimism will play a key role in getting you hired or promoted . According to the stars, a bit of "naughtiness" is in store for those who are in a relationship, while singles can look forward to an adventures-filled Summer. The last quarter of 2010 will prove to be revealing.

Capricorn

2010 should be savoured a sip at a time. The beginning of the year will favour business-related activities when accompanied by tenacity and a healthy dose of initiative. Cultivate your interpersonal relationships, don't be so private and easily offended. Let your feelings show in a positive manner. Fall means big news for singles: the stars favour meeting new people, and there's a good chance for... a stork to be on its way!

Aquarius

All planets smile upon you. This year will be truly rewarding and punctuated by great ideas and emotions. New job proposals are on the horizon. Try not to lie on your "astral laurels" though: you still need to do your part, watch what you eat and avoid gaining too much weight.

Pisces

Go ahead...big sigh of relief! After two years of negative astral influences, Jupiter and Pluto finally free you of all constraints. More than any other, this year is when the seemingly impossible can becomes a reality as long as you are willing to keep your tendency to daydream in check and focus on the task at hand. Conditions are favourable for cohabitation and marriage.
