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.

Sagittarius 2012 Horoscope

This year is quite important to you, which is shown by the Moon Node in your Zodiac sign in the 2012 New Year horoscope. Your previous life seems to have pointed to what this year will bring. Because you're Sagittarius, your personal freedom and independence has a lot to do with it.

     You also have Mercury in your sign. This promises a lot of exchange of thought and a very stimulating intellectual life for you in 2012. You learn to adapt to new things and you do it gladly. You also receive numerous exciting messages, holding a lot of promises.

     This distracts you from doing as good a job as you can in your work place, and a lot of things you set out to do this year just don't get done – for lack of concentration and because of meeting a number of obstacles. Other things in your life than your actual work intrigue you more.

     You still manage your work decently, but only by more struggle than you're used to. It's the square aspect to the planet Mars in Virgo behind this.

     On the other hand, the sextile aspect to Venus and Neptune in Aquarius is a guarantee that you have a very rewarding learning experience going on this year. New thoughts, new perspectives, and even more when your imagination gets a hold of it. Time is working for you, it's obvious, and you can sense how you're growing from the experience.

     If you're born in mid-December, you have some heavy duties towards your partners – in love, in business, and in other fields of life. You don't mind, because it's in line with your intentions, but these obligations will tie you up to some extent, and you always have mixed feelings about that. Still you know it will lead to good things, and you find the duties easier to fulfill than you had anticipated.

     This is true to some extent also for those born in another part of Sagittarius, but you experienced it already last year or the year before that.

     Especially if you're born in November, you have a year filled of activity from which you learn plenty, and you love it. That's what the trine aspect to Uranus and the moon in Aries reveals. It's somewhat true also for other Sagittarius. Your activities are many and all of them rewarding, bringing you insight into things you were previously unaware. And you just follow whims and longings. Not a bad compass.
