Sagittarius 2012 Year Ahead Forecasts

Mars will be at the top of your chart during the first half of 2012 and professional and personal concerns will equally need your time and attention. There will be moments when you will feel torn in two different directions and you're making little headway in either. On top of this, career is like a game of cloak and dagger. It's not easy to know who to rely on between February and mid-April while Mars is retrograde in your professional zone.

Mercury and Venus will be travelling through your communication zone at the start of 2012. At the beginning of the year, your ideas for making a few changes in joint interests may be too much for others to really take in. However, be ready to explain things in detail until they do get the message and don't give up. All talks connected with money and partnership affairs will be productive.

With Mars in your tenth house and Mercury being in your home zone during the latter half of February, you will know instinctively that you are about to reach the end of a cycle in your life and change is on its way.

You will cope with this better if you take a step back and view things from a distance. The message in your stars at this time is: be ready to expand your interests and try new experiences because if you do, you will never look back

Joint efforts will be immensely rewarding during the middle few months of the year. If you feel an existing partnership (whether in business or romance) has got stuck in a rut, you will be ready to jointly look for new and different things to do. As a team you will continue to thrive because of your willingness to move with the times.

Also with Venus travelling through your opposite sign between April and the start of August, emphasis is on your closest relationships. This is the partnership sector of your chart. Sagittarius, you might not realise exactly how much effort you will have put in to keep a close relationship from faltering but your dedication will pay off in the autumn. Because in October someone will have news that will be the best thing you will hear this year

It's the financial zone of your chart that's triggered by Mars in November. This strongly suggests that you must be sensible about the way you handle money now. You will be deluding yourself if you think that you can dip into your savings and this won't be a problem in the future. Because the pleasure you get from squandering your cash will be short-lived. Be warned: you will fall flat on your face unless you keep both feet planted firmly on the ground; you will do okay if you are careful about your spending in the build-up to Christmas.

As the year ends there is every chance a new group or club interests will be just what you need to get the magic back in your life. The end of the year is a good time to extend your circle of friends and to work on improving your relationships between work-mates and the neighbours!
