As 2013 begins you must understand what Saturn is doing for you. One of the main benefits this planet brings to your chart is a greater ability in you to clear away absolutely everything that you no longer need in your life. You’ll be putting a full stop at the end of certain scenarios that have been played out over several years, often going nowhere, and clearing the decks for new beginnings.

One of the major dilemmas inherent in this is that instinct to try and hold on to the familiar, as a kind of a safety blanket, even though you’ll know in your heart of hearts that it no longer really holds a place there. This is a timer to evaluate, and a time to be fearless, not in a ruthless or unprincipled way, but a way in which speaks the truth about how you feel and what you wish you life to contain in the coming year.

See this as the final stages of this process, and the realisation of this alone, should compel you to see this through until the end.

There could be rebel elements, in the shape of other people seeming to withdraw from you in some way, but don’t take it personally, it’s just that they are trying to get on with whatever they are doing themselves.

You will succeed, however, once you realise that this is not a barrier to your achievements this year – you don’t have to seek approval from others all the time. Strike out for Number One.

Although at times in such a cycle it’s tempting to get caught up in the negative, Saturn will help you in understanding of your own worth and, believe it or not, it will also encourage you to exert your own sense of individuality, too. Your overall effectiveness in the world is what is going to become important to you, so shake off any constrictive shackles and prepare to blaze a trail.

The sun and Pluto indicate an intense start to your year, where you’ll experience feelings are electrifying, which will be great. Just make sure that you remain on top of where destiny is steering you, as this will net you results that will be immensely powerful. These underlying forces mean that there will be fundamental transformation in the wider world, and the end of one thing, followed by the birth of something new. This energy is definitely going to attach itself to you.

You’ll really make a difference to your own life, and to the lives of others this year, but I’d have to say, though, that your words will carry extra weight, and whatever you say will define your cause in some way.

Make sure your energies flow creatively, and not destructively. If you manage this, there’s less chance of any hidden surprises along the way.

You have an amazing amount of potential, so harness it and run with it.
