Mars finally moves direct in your sign this month, bringing to an end a long period reanalysis and reworking in connection with personal projects and issues. A successful transformation is within sight, which may be related to new values and views, as well as a new way of working with your creative powers, or with children. This is a very empowering process.

Another issue which has required a lot of clarity of late is connected with the important relationships in your life, which, since Neptune entered Pisces in February, may have developed in a way that has taken control out of your hands. This is an area where you have been willing to compromise and muddle through, but when your sign ruler Mercury re-enters Aries, activating the Uranus/Pluto square from April 22nd to 25th, you are ready to play a much tougher game. You say what you mean, and mean what you say, and opponents need to take note.

Career wise, April is a rather uncertain time, not least because people are unwilling to make a firm commitment. There are plenty of people with ideas, but many of these ideas are unrealistic. Certainly in the early part of April, it would be unwise to rely on the judgment or projections of anyone in a leadership position.

When your sign ruler Mercury moves into your solar 9th house just after the full moon in early May, a pleasant atmosphere of optimistic calm begins to pervade your life, and you can put a rather anxious and combative period of emotional insecurity behind you. This is in fact a period when you can travel or connect with a partner, and for the single Virgo, May can bring an important relationship. It is also an excellent period for intellectual commitment and attainment.

The solar eclipse around May 21st highlights important trends and developments in your career, which have been brewing for a year at least. There are opportunities to make a new start professionally at this time, but this event also brings into focus uncertainties you have in relation to others. You may be very clear and inspired about your own agenda, but don’t expect partners to share the enthusiasm or clarity. Still, from a career point of view, this is an excellent time for innovation and working on idealistic projects.

When Mercury moves into Gemini on May 24th, the focus on career increases. Don’t let your confidence and executive power be undermined by lack of commitment from others. Focus on your goal and remain confident that it can be reached. A high point in your career will soon arrive.

June starts on a mixed note professionally. In many ways you have negotiated career challenges expertly, and your communication and organizational skills will have ensured a stable flow of money and a sensible investment of resources. Yet early June also reveals tensions between home and career, highlighted by the disparate needs of man and woman. You have a strong alliance with a colleague, who may have an ambiguous attitude that can bring tension or romantic complications. Too many voices are striving to be heard.

When your sign ruler Mercury moves into Cancer on June 7th there is a two-week focus on your social life. Loyalties are called into question, especially around the 12th and 13th, and this could bring a shake up amongst friends and groups. It is a time when emotions run high, and it can all get a bit too much. At any rate, by the end of the month, you prefer to keep yourself to yourself.

There are interesting developments in relationships now, not least because Jupiter enters the area of your solar chart connected with career on June 11th, which could show a change of status for partners. Businesswise a myriad of professional opportunities can arise, but it seems that other people have their head in the clouds, so don’t be fooled.

Economic circumstances dominate your thought process during the first half of the year. You can expect quite positive results when your talents come into play, but it is also important to keep a tight grip on your expenses, because unpredictable development can arise which you are not in control of, bringing some anxiety and uncertainty. It is difficult to rely on partners in this period, but on the other hand you are just as likely to win as lose. A great deal more security comes with the arrival of summer, and perhaps this is the time to make that journey you dream of. This is a good time to spend a bit. The entry of Neptune into Pisces in April heralds an epoch of change in relationships. It may feel chaotic, but you have to give up trying to control the comings and goings of others. On the other hand you can meet creatively stimulating people, who really expand your spiritual universe in the coming years.

Industrious Mars is in your sign for an unusually long period in 2012, and the period up to July is characterized by studies, professional projects or partnerships that require tremendous effort. There will be many delays and repetitions, but in the end you will have success. Especially in March you can expect favorable developments in most practical matters. Emotionally this same period is however somewhat tense, and 2012 is generally a year when you undergo quite a demanding psychological catharsis, perhaps connected with love or children. With Neptune now affecting the area of your horoscope connected with relationships, you can expect some very confused signals in your love life. It is important that you learn to give oceans of space for partners who in turn may have problems making a commitment or being realistic. If you get involved in idealistic projects where you unselfishly work to help people who need care, you can transform this influence into something very positive. Professionally there is a very favorable change in June and there are a number of possibilities for expansion, especially in connection with communication and the development of your personal network. It is a brilliant period for technological advances and projects that transcend international or state borders. A development both at work and at home can bring many travels in November and December, which in turn brings separations and reunions, and an enriching sense of mutual dependence.
