Both Venus and Mars will be in extraordinarily long transits this year.

Venus will be in Gemini from 4th April - 8th August and will be sharing the stage with Jupiter from June.

Venus will be bringing good vibes into your area of career and overall life direction, meaning more doors swinging open. It's more likely you achieve recognition, receive praise or more support for your goals and plans.
Mars will stay in your sign until July 2012. So a lot more hustle and bustle around you and for some a love relationship could really start to heat up. An extraordinarily long transit dynamically activating your energy and vitality. Looks like you are going to be very busy and somewhat in demand over this prolonged transit. Sometimes feeling it necessary to push yourself beyond your limits as the situation seems to demand this but just don't make a habit of it and do not overdo things. You can make a great deal of progress during this phase and have quite an impact on others. You will be ready to step up to the plate, to be a crusader in some way. You will work hard now getting things more the way you want them to be on practical levels and with your image and physical wellbeing.
Until June 12th 2012 is an excellent position for Jupiter as he will be working happily out of his own house - the ninth. There should be more opportunities for long-distance contacts, travel, communications through the spoken or written word, another language or academia.

Also being the teacher or student or the disseminator of information, the advisor, or guide. A great vibration for broadcasting on to a grander stage, but also for getting involved in publishing, politics, the law or communications media. Your awareness and knowledge base will certainly grow during this expansive period and some of you may be getting into academia. Virgos born across the whole sign will benefit from this vibration in 2012.

From 12th June - June 2013, Jupiter is in your area of career and overall life direction, meaning more doors swinging open, but not all will be leading to the road you want to travel and you could be puzzling over which is the best way to go. It's more likely you could be more appreciated or be learning new things professionally and you should feel more established in your field or with your direction as this is a time when you can identify more with what you do for a living. Romantic liaisons, travel, foreign links, higher education or connecting with those at a distance could be a part of the picture. Virgos born until 10th Sept or up to 18 degrees Virgo rising should feel this vibration the most.

Saturn continues its transit of Libra until October 6th meaning you will continue to meet the challenge of dealing sensibly with the material side of life. Disciplined effort will be needed at times to fill the piggy bank and to increase quality lines of supply whether that's cash or vegetables. Gradually life becomes more comfortable but there will be moments you have to pick up the gauntlet and face the challenge. So take those small steps towards better conditions now which may mean overcoming a few small obstacles, which will stand you in good stead further down the line. Remember a stitch in time saves nine. It's also a good idea to build upon your assets and that goes for your inborn gifts as well. Virgos born 13th Sept onwards or with from 21 degrees Virgo rising will feel this energy the most.

From Oct 6th 2012 Saturn begins a 2 and a half year transit of challenging you to work more diligently at communications, media, education, short distance travel. You should be developing communication skills and perhaps integrating new understanding of language or a system of thinking or getting your head around communications equipment. Developing these skills will be like chipping away at a sculpture, so be consistent and patient. Successes are likely to come more easily by initiating a project or a study or an employment which brings in the pennies you need to develop your personal aims or to take your own gifts more seriously and start to develop them. You'll be learning that 'perceptions' aren't necessarily based in fact and may not even be true. As you get to the bottom of how much in your mind is perception and how much is 'truth', you may realize you need to make some changes to your own habitual ways of communicating or viewing the world. Virgos born up til 1st Sept or with up to 11 degrees Virgo rising will feel this vibration the most.
Uranus, will be working from Aries for about 7 years and gradually will be revolutionizing the way your joint finances work. It will bring change and sometimes destabilization in the area of joint resources and could affect your basic material security. However, if you have been struggling in this area, the tendency of Uranus is to reverse the order of things which may turn the cards in your favour. Just remember to remain open-minded and willing to try new methods and especially anything unconventional or something you thought would never happen, as you can be successful. It could be a revolution in your thinking related to your joint material situation and basic values. This energy also favours new technology, renewable energy, or other areas you might term 'alien'.

For many years Neptune has been making it's influence felt in subtle ways in your life and you will have felt guided by dreams, visions and often played an compassionate, supporting or serving role in the lives of others. At times it may have been hard for you to discover your true place or there may have been mysterious health issues like allergies or misdiagnosis for you or yours. Many of you may have successfully employed the 'softer' remedies to treat ailments such as spiritual healing and EFT etc. Or become involved in healing yourself. This transit was great for developing yourself through arts and crafts too…….

Neptune will slide into your opposite sign Pisces - its home sign - from 4th February 2012 to stay for many years. This new position of Neptune is in your area of close relationships - personal or professional - there may be lingering doubts about how someone really is or about their true intentions. Signals tend to get crossed on both sides. So just take more time to make sure things are clear between you and avoid putting others on a pedestal and giving away your power. Hopefully, you should both be seeing each other as you really are with no frills attached. Now is the time to balance your high hopes with the reality of what's real and do-able in the love department or within a professional relationship. Avoid over-romanticizing relationships or ignoring the small print in a contract at this time.

Virgos born from the 23rd-27th or with up to 4 degrees Virgo rising will feel this energy most in 2012.
The life-changing force of Pluto, in Capricorn, is in a brilliant angle to your Sun sign and means regeneration from deep levels. There will be a letting go of the old scenarios which could relate to your self-worth and sense of empowerment. You may get more control in an area which could put you centre stage and allows you to shine in your own special and unique way. This is the energy of rebirth and may also affect your choices in love relationships which may feel quite compelling and you discover a deep soul connection with someone.

Virgos born 27th August-2nd September or with up to 10 degrees of Virgo rising will feel this energy most this year.
There are 2 solar eclipses this year, May 20th and November 13th. The first one is at 0 degrees Gemini and the second one - a total eclipse - is at 21 degrees Scorpio.
The first one in Gemini will send a pulse of energy through the coming months to make the changes necessary which may help you achieve major goals in your life providing there are strong aspects from the eclipse degree to points in your natal chart. You'll feel it's important to take the initiative in minor or major ways with your overall life direction and professional ambitions which may be due to, or centred around, certain significant relationships.

Over these months you should be pushing yourself and projects forwards steadily and consistently.
The second one in Scorpio will send out a pulse of energy through the coming months, and, providing there are strong aspects from the eclipse degree to points in your natal chart, will help change occur in your communications and education sector. So, you should be more creatively self-expressive and make your voice heard. Write the thesis or the book. Pick up the phone, write that letter. This is a highly sociable area and so you could be meeting and greeting more than usual too.
