• It begins very positive!
  Attempts to sort out some of the chaos left behind by the year of the Fire-Pig should be done on broad fronts and yield considerable improvements for all. In fact, positive advantages are guaranteed, the strength and spirit of a new cycle can be felt during the entire first half of 2008!
• However, steadfastness and reliability will be hard to find as everyone is trying to get ahead anyway they can.
• Middle of August to end of September could almost be called perfect,
• but the final stages of 2008 bare some tense times with complications in socializing or to revolutionary attitudes trying to solve problems that don’t really exist,
• however, for professionally and responsibly acting people also the later stages of 2008 will continue to guarantee advancements on all fronts, provided that conservative attitude is applied.

Jupiter positive to Uranus - 12. Feb. to 8. July
Living an outgoing social live, but shying away from steady relations, desire to be on the move, travel around and learn new things. Fortunate Intuition that makes it rather easy to find new ways to make money, or to gain something with speculations or find exiting love affairs. Could become leaders under the protection of someone behind the scene perhaps, and would create a lot of new social or technical revolutions.

Saturn positive to Pluto - 18. Feb. to 1. July
Brave and tough, simply lasting longer than most others, understanding for structures and numbers, capable of managing and handling whole organizations with relentless concentration and efforts People on a Mission, creating new structures where necessary, leaving a mark on whatever they do or whom ever they get involved with. If the outcome of all these efforts will be that profitable in the end may be another question.

Predictions for the second half of 2008

Saturn positive to Jupiter - 6. August to 26. Dec.
Very reliable, practical and just, therefore good in organizing and business, slowly but steady heading for success. Good image in public too, preferring deeper, long lasting relations, or such that are financially of benefit.

Uranus negative to Saturn - 29. Sept. to 16. March 2009
Often wasting energy because of tense feelings on the Inside, stopped somehow, unable to concentrate, because it gets difficult to bring modern ideas and traditional values under the same hat.

19º Pisces
Very unstable mood, because guided by intuitions, feelings and very sensitive about everything that is going on.

21º Pisces
Showing feelings very openly to others, becoming very tempting with this attitude.

:: Uranus in conjunction with the pos. Moon node until May 3. - good time to understand the flow of time and to fearlessly adjust and renew. Also a rather helpful attitude towards others.

:: Saturn in opposition to Neptune until July 31. - Distrustful times! Everyone feels somewhat helplessly exposed to whatever is happening to them or around the planet. - This aspect comes in different shades within itself. Until April 10. rather unstable, mostly to passive, occasionally to aggressive acting period. Until the end of March combined with a rather odd philosophical mindset, basically unpractical overall. For all of April and May much better balanced use of energies, generally more coordinated activities. From April 10 to July 11. a rather-irrational mix of restless ambitions and coordinated moves. July 11. to July 31., the final portion of this negative aspect will again bring imbalanced activities between to passive and to aggressive, somewhere between very discrete and totally dreaming (during the mid July time frame) but finally towards the end of July finally getting into the groove of perfection in reality for a short while.

Jupiter plays currently the main role in terms of quality of time. Especially the easing 2 positive aspects to the otherwise each other opposing planets Saturn and Neptune keep things on a less troublesome level.
Until March 23. Jupiter is mainly in a worry-free zone, optimistic and outgoing, but mainly only focused on selfish interests. However, until April 16. combined with a terrible sense of timing and miscalculations issues at hand that isolates people from one another. This trouble will restart itself once more on April 29. and the misjudging and bad timing period will go on until Sept. 11..
Adding to this “everyone.in-their-own-illusions” time the Jupiter / Uranus square will go on until June 16. and re-enact itself once more from Sept. 10. to Nov. 2. - It’s an impulsive time during which “halfwit” work is conducted, incomplete thinking is present, and therefore more miscalculations, pretentious promises and losses through unwise investments will happen.
Fortunately there is also some positivity during most of this time. Jupiter to Saturn until June 10. will at least still keep up a certain reliability and steadfastness. Maybe a bit slow in progress, but at least a useful portion of added practical sense here. Until May 19. Jupiter positive to the Neptune (and the same once again from Oct. 2. to Nov. 11.) will bring a time frame of maximum tolerance and caring for others well-being combined with a lot of fantasy. A Rather philosophical time for that great spiritual high perhaps.

It’s dream time!
The Pig years (Chinese Astrology / Calendar) aren’t the hard reality type of years. Add emotions rather then cool collected intellect to it and you know that the danger of “unsubstantiated believe in miracles” and hence unwise activities will frequently occur, with only sprinkles of well thought trough decision making windows opening up in between the haze of irrationalities.
