You are always open to suggestion and willing to learn as much about the world around you as possible. Your sponge-like brain mops up all the information life throws at us day to day, and what is overlooked by many is plainly obvious to you, and all of these wonderful attributes mark you out from the crowd.

The more you understand scenarios the better, be they religious, spiritual, financial or loving, as there are some very real changes about to happen in your life.

As 2012 opens it could be that you come face to face with those less desirable parts of your personality, those that you’d rather run away from. But don’t lose sight of the fact that this sets up a year of great cleansing and healing in the face of all the tumultuous goings on in the outside world. The point is that you will set about making any corrections to yourself and you’ll accomplish so much in this regard. You have that direct sense of empathy for both yourself and others and you may see a lot of suffering that you may have hitherto been blind to.

Around the time of your birthday will reveal itself as a real watershed moment, as a cycle of growth begins. You’ll begin to ask yourself what it is that you now need to understand from the learning that you’ve gained and how to put it into practice. Some things from your past, like old archaic attitudes or prejudices now seem to vanish into the haze as they no longer hold any water with you. This is a great time of enlightenment, and you have the confidence to shoulder a raft of responsibility. Pluto in Capricorn means that you will develop on so many more levels this year in a way that you haven’t in at least the last twelve. Embrace this.

Neptune’s move back into Pisces at the beginning of the year means that your ideas and ambitions become immensely strong and driven. It would also seem that you’re pushing a cart up a hill but with only one wheel, but only until the month of June, as this is when Jupiter enters your sign and begins a time of new beginnings for you.

This planet will help you communicate and get all those fabulous ideas of yours out into the collective. Remember that this is all about turning over a new leaf. 2012 could very well be a tense year for us all, yet you have the knowhow to make sense of strife and bring order to chaos. There will be times when your need for freedom and your sense of duty clash, but I think that you’ll learn the importance of balancing the two. Remember that Jupiter can and will be lucky for you, so start smiling.
