This is a particularly fortunate time for any matter connected to this area of your life. You could marry during this next year and this will prove to be a real blessing. If a current relationship has been experiencing difficulties, a resolution will become apparent, whether that involves going in separate ways, or finding the means to be more flexible with each other, especially in terms of how much freedom is permitted in the relationship. During the retrograde phase you can look at why you got involved with the person you are married to or in business with.

Saturn the taskmaster of the zodiac will continue to occupy your sector of communications, siblings, neighbours and short distance travel up until November 2009. Saturn however, will be in retrograde motion (backwards) between January and April. You may do some serious thinking during this time, but you may have to avoid seeing the dark side of things. It is a beneficial time to plan for your future and get super organized with your communications with others. In the retrograde phase your thoughts may seem depressive and give you a bleak outlook. However, when Saturn is direct, (between May and the end of the year) there will be a more mature, though serious perspective that reveals what is real and what is not.

Uranus, the planet of change, will continue to occupy your sector of travel, higher education, studies and connections to foreign people or places during which time he will be in retrograde phase between late June and late November 2008.

Excitement will be the name of the game in your journeys as you encounter new experience after new experience. During the retrograde phase you will start to think abut how you had previously viewed the world, and how this had influenced where you are now. During the direct phase (January to June and again late November to June 2009) the awareness of other belief systems will help you to be more tolerant and understanding of how different we all look at life, and that we don’t all have to think the same way.

Neptune the planet of mystery, will continue to occupy your sector of, wills, legacies, the goods of the deceased, loans, your partner’s income or any other shared resource, though will go into retrograde (backwards) phase between late May and up to the end of October 2008. This area of your chart is also associated with truth. Sometimes issues surrounding this can be misunderstood or clouded by various factors.

During the retrograde phase it may seem as though everything is not so clear to you and you may lack the energy to pursue matters to finalization. During the direct phase (January to May and November to December) your passion can be stirred by a complete understanding of what is really going on around you and how you can re-gain what you thought had been taken away or hidden from you.

Pluto, the transformer of the zodiac will now occupy your sector of marriage and business partnerships and any public presentations (with the exception of a retrograde phase back into your sector of health, work and your daily routines between mid June and late November). This can literally transform your personal and business relationships overnight. This long range influence which will last for many years can bring a person into your life who changes you completely. However it can also be a testing time in a marriage, and care needs to be taken that neither you nor your beloved do not overrule the other. During the retrograde phase you can look at why you allowed this person to enter your life and change it irrevocably. During the direct phase (January to March 2008 and again from September to the end of the year) your understanding of your motives will reveal this is exactly what you need for personal growth.
