2009 Will it be Xtra special? YOUR HOROSCOPES YOUR STARS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD PART TWO LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS.

Byline: DEBBIE FRANK

Will love sparkle for you in 2009?

It's going to be a year that favours the committed and the bold.

Nothing less will do!

In the showbiz world, Strictly Come Dancing finalist Rachel Stevens is expected to waltz up the aisle to tie the knot with Alex Bourne. And ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden is due to wed long-term girlfriend Delta Goodrem.

But will you be lucky in love? Here's what the stars have to say...

ALEXANDRA BURKE

IT'S going to be a thunderously successful year for Virgo Alexandra. Having won X-Factor and gone straight to No.1 with Hallelujah she'll be sweeping us all off her feet with her next single.

2009 requires her to move into a completely different life yet still keep her feet planted firmly on the ground.

The combined influences of Uranus and Saturn will help her deal with all the changes she'll experience. It's an exciting time, and there will be pitfalls, but being a perfectionist Virgo she'll know exactly which note to strike.

BRITNEY SPEARS

HAVING made her comeback in 2008 Britney's fortunate that lucky Jupiter is going to be in her Moon sign of Aquarius in 2009.

It will boost her public appeal and give her loads of opportunities. But this planet can also bring out reckless tendencies so she's got to maintain a grip on her excessive nature.

Her love life looks highly charged and she will swing between wanting to be a focused working girl and wanting to live for love.

She's bound to make big news headlines again as these volatile aspects hardly make for a quiet year.

Aries Mar 21 Apr 20

MAKING FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES

FRIENDSHIP glows extra bright for you in 2009 as fabulous Jupiter peoples your world with extra special contacts. But for real love, Venus steams things up in February.

Be prepared for a blip when the love goddess reverses in Aries from March 6. But then Venus and Mars power up in your sign from late April and through May - and everyone suddenly wants you again.

Be the one to make the first move around the eclipse on July 22.

If you want true commitment, Saturn in Libra from October 29 means close relationships start to get serious in November and December. To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0751.

Taurus Apr 21 May 21

YOU'LL GO A LONG WAY FOR A LOVER

ALTHOUGH Taureans usually only feel comfy on familiar ground, you'll be going the distance in 2009 and that's where love could strike.

Certainly it's a year for exploring unusual options. As Saturn and Uranus produce fireworks in friendship and love during February and September you could be either dazzled or shocked by unfolding events.

June is your most magnetic month when a stunning Venus and Mars combo makes your attraction factor peak. From mid-October onwards you're a dynamo at home.

Changes, moves and personal events mean there's never a dull moment. To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0752.

Gemini May 22 - Jun 22

SEX AND SECRETS WILL BE IN FOCUS

GEMINIS are often accused of skating on the surface, but with Pluto now in the caring, sharing zone of your skies you're entering a new era of depth-charged partnership.

Secrets, sex and money are likely to be the focus of strong feelings this year. On one level you've got a need to put down very strong roots in 2009, have a stable home life and feel committed to those you love.

Yet the winds of change are blowing in other areas meaning new developments are thrust upon you.

July and August are your key months to hit the heights with your love life.

The autumn is for settling down. To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0753.

Cancer Jun 23 - Jul 23

YOU'RE IN FOR A DYNAMIC YEAR

WITH passionate, compulsive Pluto now fixed in your partnership zone, someone has a real hold on you this year - you simply can't stop thinking about them.

June-born crabs in particular could find themselves on the threshold of a whole new era of love. The eclipses on July 7 and 22 create a heady atmosphere of excitement.

August brings loving Venus into Cancer, which is great for romance, and hot-blooded Mars is with you from late August through to mid October.

It will be a dynamic year for love. Your home looks likely to reflect big changes in the final two months of the year. To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0754.

Leo Jul 24 - Aug 23

YOUR SUMMER WILL BE SIZZLING 

LOVE gets lucky for you in 2009. Jupiter's expansive rays mean good relationships get better and positive introductions also add to the goodwill.

As early as January 26 a connection is started. It will take off in February as the Leo-eclipsed Full Moon causes radical reactions and the Mars-Jupiter combo moves things on apace.

The summer is also hot for romance with Jupiter and Neptune sizzling romantically with another electrifying eclipse in Aquarius on August 6.

Autumn and winter also see Leos ruling the roost in their personal affairs.

But it's not all about getting what you want. It's a year of giving what you can.

To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0755.

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23

CHANGE COULD DO YOU SOME GOOD

UPTIGHT Saturn in Virgo makes close relationships feel too much like hard work at the moment.

You'd like stability but Uranus is the wild card, activating volatile scenarios so just be prepared for everything to change at a moment's notice.

February and September could be dramatic for endings and beginnings.

Yet a greater sense of friendship, pleasure and fulfilment is triggered by the eclipses in July.

Between September 20 and October 14 Venus in Virgo gives you the confidence to charm everyone.

And from October 29 Saturn leaves you, lifting all the heaviness from love.

To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0756.

Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23

YOU'LL BE FINDING THE MAGIC AGAIN

WITH powerful Pluto sitting in your home and family zone, 2009 is not a year to sweep things under the carpet.

Many Librans will want to initiate a new era, maybe involving a house move or other changes that will put your personal life on a new footing.

Jupiter and Neptune are a romantic influence from May onwards helping you to find the magic again. Yet it is the hugely significant arrival of Saturn into Libra on October 29 that will alter Libra's attitude to love.

Saturn brings a rare clarity into your life. September birthdays in particular will be calling the shots with precision during November and December. To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0757.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22

JUPITER GIVES YOU HAPPINESS

YOUR personal life is under the happiest stars you've seen in more than a decade as Jupiter, the planet of joy, sets up home in your chart.

It could mean an addition to the family, a life-enhancing move or simply an experience of greater fulfilment.

True, you are evaluating certain friendships and experiencing some wake-up calls in love - but many Scorpios are also making big plans for close relationships in 2009 that may involve a change of location.

June and early July is a promising time for relationships to flourish and Venus, the luscious goddess of love, sends you kisses in November. To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0758.

Sagittarius Nov 23-Dec 21

PUT MORE INTO YOUR PASSION

YOUR love life has been going through the wringer as Pluto churned up deep feelings and unforgettable experiences.

Late last year Pluto vacated Sagittarius, but you can't turn the clock back. Give love your all, because you're capable of far more intensity and passion than ever. You're also restless at home, so get out there.

Between February and June you're amorous and adventurous, even though someone may blow hot and cold.

Summer brings a positive response with the spark of deep union on the total eclipse of July 22. Delicious December ups your flirt factor and should be fun. To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0759.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20

ECLIPSES BRING YOU TO THE BRINK

IT'S not just the polar ice-caps that are melting - those frozen feelings of yours are oozing out.

Pluto's passionate presence in Capricorn will stage some extremely dramatic moments in your love life this year.

It will be a relief from that stiff upper-lip scenario - finally you can be real. Home is also under review and from February until June you consider any number of moves.

But July brings those fated eclipses that take relationships to the brink of a fresh start or a clean break.

Take note in November/December as Saturn, your ruler, gives new lessons in love. Commitment is in, caution is out! To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0760.

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19

YOUR FAITH IN LOVE IS REKINDLED

THIS should be a lovestruck year for you as Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius create all sorts of magical special effects.

Whether you're flirtatiously footloose, happily matched or newly dazzled, an air of enchantment re-kindles your faith in the love stuff.

The eclipsed New Moon on the 26th is the trigger point and February brings a strong response. July and August gives you breakthroughs with lovers and friends.

And from mid-October watch out - Mars in Leo will chase after you nonstop.

All that attention could become too hot to handle which is why you're the king of cool in late December. To let go of the old and bring in the new, call me on 0905 817 0761.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20

FRIENDSHIP'S THE KEY TO PLEASURE

THIS is the year the importance of friendship takes off for you. Keep the invitations frequent and flowing and savour the multiple mix.

With serious Saturn in your zone of key partnerships someone is relying on you to keep things together. That can be tough when you'd often prefer to do your own thing.

July is heady and happy and early October will be over-the-top and outrageous. But your capacity to be all things to all people will create goodwill and good karma.

You're stratospherically magnetic but remember to always be the one who chooses what sticks! To let go of the old and bring in the new, give me a call on 0905 817 0762.
