Libra — the year ahead

Jupiter is in Leo — your 11th house

Jupiter keeps expansion, generosity, opportunity — and excess. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of friends, groups, allies and what you are aiming at.

Saturn is in Aries — your 7th house

Saturn keeps limits, duty, delay and what time forces on you. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of partners, agreements, and open opponents.

Uranus is in Gemini — your 9th house

Uranus keeps disruption and change that arrives without warning. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of long journeys, study, law and what you hold true.

Neptune is in Aries — your 7th house

Neptune keeps imagination, confusion and what dissolves. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of partners, agreements, and open opponents.

Pluto is in Aquarius — your 5th house

Pluto keeps power, compulsion and what will not go back. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of children, romance, play and what you make.
