My New Year’s resolution is to really back into art again. If I’m lucky, I even have shows again. Been a long time.

A wonderful and safe and happy New Year to everyone. (My G-d, rob! that post was so long I read half of it before I realized it wasn’t a Montrose Morris post)

Rob, where does it say you will sock away money in 2009? Did I miss it? Also that bit about how at first no one will understand your “forward thinking ideas” — do you think Hannible might be an Aquarius too?

dibs i actually did start a 401k two years ago. i contribute just 1 percent of my paycheck tho. my company doesnt match however. so guess in a sense im saving, but that money doesnt seem real to me like a savings account would seem real. plus in an emergency how will i access my 401k money that fast? plus there’s penalties right? i need something in case of a real emergency. tho my fav. astrologer susan miller said this … 🙂 for any other aquarians heed this!:

(this is just the beginning of it, dont want to put too much here) you can look her up and read the rest of your 2009 horoscope! she is very accurate and very specific and is true everytime down to the dates.. for instance i had to move in august and in february of last year due to bad things, and of course she says that in the horoscope!! ..

After a long wait, your golden year has arrived, dear Aquarius! On January 5, Jupiter will enter Aquarius and crown you the celestial favorite, a title you have not held since 1997. What lies before you is a glorious year of good fortune. You will have good health, support from VIPs, a real shot at finding true love if you’re single, and an opportunity to grasp your dream goal. We only get approximately seven of these magnificent years in a lifetime, and 2009 will be one of those shining years for you.

The ancient astrologers always wrote about the power of these rare years when Jupiter conjuncts your Sun. You will attract many new people to your path and you will benefit from your association with many of them. Those people will range from the introduction to new business associates, to new friends, and of course, to meeting that one special person. If you are married or attached, your optimism will be so strong as to color everything you do – your partner won’t be able to resist you. If you feel ready for a baby or a move to a larger house, it looks like your partner will agree. As I said, this is a year like no other you’ve seen in a long time – twelve years to be exact.

As an Aquarian, your sign rules all the sciences, from high technology to the social sciences. Your perceptive mind tells you what is missing in society – and what is needed next. As the great innovator sign, you are always a step ahead of others. You are used to seeing that most people have no idea what you are talking about when you first propose one of your forward-thinking ideas. No matter, it never troubled you being a black sheep – you reveled in the role! You never cared what other people thought of you or your ideas. You had built your own yardstick for success, and in a way, you were always your own hardest critic anyway. Being free from caring what other people thought or said about you has always freed you to follow your own drummer. In the year ahead, you may be a bit bewildered to find that others will catch up with you, see your wisdom for a change, and praise your efforts.

Your instincts, opinions, tastes, and direction will be followed and hailed as brilliant, and you will chuckle over the fact that everyone has come ’round to your way of thinking. It won’t always be this way, but it certainly will make your task easier this year! Knowing this, you should put forth your biggest dreams in 2009 while you have such extraordinary favor, for if you do, you will get a big running start. This year will start you on a 12-year cycle, so the initiations you make now will carry you forward at least that long, if not longer.

In the year ahead, you will be offered an array of choices by Jupiter, whose whole job it will be to please and delight you. The only danger is that you will have so many choices you may be tempted to run in too many directions. Choose carefully and direct your attention to the goals that hold the greatest potential.

Of all the signs, as an Aquarius, you’ve been among the most beleaguered signs. You were first tested by Saturn opposed to your Sun, and then beginning last February and August 2008, by the start of the eclipses in Aquarius, the opposite sign of Leo. Saturn and the eclipses were asking you to reinvent yourself, and from mid-2005 you’ve been doing just that.

My new year’s wish is to learn freakin’ Spanish! I’ve already got the books. I’m telling you, it’s going to happen. I can’t help it. It’s a white thing 😉

BRG…I met a guy on a different kind of site who goes by Bayridge Guy!!!! Do you know him? He’s Chinese.
