Your Zodiac sign, also called your sun sign, is simply the position of the sun in your horoscope at the moment of your birth. The complete horoscope includes the planets, the astrological Houses, and the aspects between planets. That's a whole lot more.

     Therefore, predictions based only on your Zodiac sun sign can't be very precise. Still, they give some general clues, since the sun is almost as important in the horoscope as it is in the sky above us.

     It shows your situation and sentiment when you're not involved in other things, for example when you rest or are unoccupied by something special.

     A 2012 astrological prediction based only on what Zodiac sign your sun occupies can only be vague and incomplete. It may also be completely wrong, if other ingredients in your horoscope contradict it.

     For a full bodied and complete 2012 horoscope taking all horoscope ingredients into account, see my reading of the 2012 World horoscope here.

     Anyway, for your amusement – here are a few words about what the year might hold for you, based only on your sun sign. Take it for what it is.

Aquarius 2012 Horoscope

You have a very exciting year ahead of you, but you know it already. Neptune is in Aquarius since 1998, but already during this year it will move into Pisces. So, this is the last chance to make good use of it.

     Neptune is the planet of dreams, fantasy, and inspiration. In Aquarius it thrives and gives glimpses of the meaning of all. So, there's no end to how profound things you may learn before the planet leaves your Zodiac sign. Surely, you've already taken advantage of it.

     This year you have the assistance of Venus in this process, since the planet is in Aquarius in the 2012 New Year horoscope. Venus is the creative flow and energy, making difficult things easy and everything enjoyable. You study and you learn, as tremendously as effortlessly. Go at it!

     Neptune will not return to Aquarius for another 150 years or so.

     Venus, the creative force, is assisted by a sextile aspect to the Moon Node in Sagittarius. That means your life and the world around you in general seem to aim at the new perspectives you are able to perceive and learn at this time. It's the time of change, of going beyond the borders of your previous life.

     Neptune has to aspects: a trine to Saturn in Libra and a sextile to Jupiter in Taurus. The former one means that you have serious obligations to partners – in love, in business, and in other fields of life. You manage these obligations without trouble and enjoy doing so. It's part of the new perspectives you gain and part of the tremendous learning experience. It makes you wiser.

     The sextile to Jupiter in Taurus gives you the resources needed to pursue your quest and realize the dreams it awakens. When you need something to go on, you easily get it, at some point during the year.

     This year is, as you can understand from the above, very active for you. Much more than usual and in a higher tempo than you're used to. This is revealed by the sextile aspect to Aries, where Uranus and the moon are in the 2012 New Year horoscope.

     The activities you get involved in are very stimulating and satisfying. They're also profoundly revealing to you, especially if you're born in January. The more you allow yourself to be active in whatever field, the more you learn about life and about yourself. This is on the way for all Aquarius, since Uranus moves through Aries in the following few years (until 2019).

     Allow yourself to treat life as a challenge and you will experience the most, gain the most insights.
