AQUARIUS OVERVIEW: You've been dealing with intensity and passion in all your communications for years now, Aquarius, which means you're probably quite skilled in that department now. Still, as 2005 rolls around, you may find that you're even more prone to speak your mind and let your opinions be known. That goes double for the first nine months of the year, which outgoing Jupiter will spend in easygoing but assertive Libra and your solar house of opinions.

You may be willing to keep quiet for a few weeks, especially after the holidays, so January will be quiet. You'll also need some alone time during this month, especially around the 10th, when a new Moon will inspire you to get to know yourself better. After the 24th of February, you'll need to be careful with money -- in particular, watch out for being taken advantage of by someone. And from the 20th of March on, you won't mince words -- not at all -- when it comes to speaking your mind. Go easy on anyone less well-armed.

That strong-willed trend will continue throughout April, and well past the lunar eclipse of the 24th, when it will be even harder for you to contain yourself. Come May and June, however, you'll be far more sensitive to the needs and feelings of others, and more willing to stifle yourself -- just a touch -- to be sociable. By the end of June, even if you feel swamped by responsibilities and not all that happy about it, you'll keep your nose to the grindstone and your comments to a minimum.

During summer, you'll be more focused on work than on play -- much to the chagrin of your dear ones, who'll be trying to talk you into getting out of town for at least the weekend. Explain to them about how diligent you're feeling, and put off any travel plans until after the 17th of August. At that point, you'll be quite ready for a break in the action.

During fall, you may be so ready for a break, in fact, that you'll be looking longingly at your passport. The solar eclipse of the 3rd of October may put you in the mood to travel overseas -- but if you don't have to go alone, don't, and make sure you're home in time to enjoy the holidays with dear ones.
