During 2005, you'll have a chance to cash in on the solid reputation you've created for yourself over past years. You've probably become almost famous in your chosen profession -- so obviously all that hard work was worth it. As soon as January, however, you'll be able to resume your favorite activities: leisure, pleasure and fun. You may be doing it in private, but that won't be a problem. You definitely won't be alone unless you want to be. Money matters may be less than fun to deal with, so be sure you have someone to talk to -- someone you trust. Then let it go, and concentrate on the full Moon of March 25th, which is due to turn up the volume and intensity in your love life.

You may be uncharacteristically concerned with settling down during spring, but don't panic. Remember, you really can have a life and a relationship at the same time. You just have to choose the right partner -- someone who's as freedom-oriented as yourself. An individual who answers that description could be along as soon as May 23rd, by the way, so be ready.

Summer's astrological highlights will inspire you to learn some new skills and study subjects you've always been interested in. You're a lifelong student, always at home in a classroom. Make the most of it now. The full Moon of August 19th will inspire you to begin or resume the study of something you really enjoy. By the end of September, you should be up and ready to run.

The eclipses due in October will turn up the electricity in all your friendships, and could herald a change with regard to one in particular. So if someone you've only thought of platonically suddenly makes noises like they're interested in much more from you, think carefully about whether you're ready for this -- and if you can go back to being friends again if it doesn't work out. The holidays look just wonderful. Don't forget to spend some quality time with the elders in your life.
