Introduction (#u14fd842a-85dd-56e5-a83a-056710d0e228)


Welcome to the fascinating and intricate world of astrology!

For thousands of years the movements of the planets and other heavenly bodies have intrigued the best minds of every generation. Life holds no greater challenge or joy than this: knowledge of ourselves and the universe we live in. Astrology is one of the keys to this knowledge.

Your Personal Horoscope 2010 gives you the fruits of astrological wisdom. In addition to general guidance on your character and the basic trends of your life, it shows you how to take advantage of planetary influences so you can make the most of the year ahead.

The section on each sign includes a Personality Profile, a look at general trends for 2010, and in-depth month-by-month forecasts. The Glossary (page 3) explains some of the astrological terms you may be unfamiliar with.

One of the many helpful features of this book is the ‘Best’ and ‘Most Stressful’ days listed at the beginning of each monthly forecast. Read these sections to learn which days in each month will be good overall, good for money, and good for love. Mark them on your calendar–these will be your best days. Similarly, make a note of the days that will be most stressful for you. It is best to avoid taking important meetings or major decisions on these days, as well as on those days when important planets in your horoscope are retrograde (moving backwards through the zodiac).

The Major Trends section for your sign lists those days when your vitality is strong or weak, or when relationships with your co-workers or loved ones may need a bit more effort on your part. If you are going through a difficult time, take a look at the colour, metal, gem and scent listed in the ‘At a Glance’ section of your Personality Profile. Wearing a piece of jewellery that contains your metal and/or gem will strengthen your vitality; just as wearing clothes or decorating your room or office in the colour ruled by your sign, drinking teas made from the herbs ruled by your sign or wearing the scents associated with your sign will sustain you.

Another important virtue of this book is that it will help you to know not only yourself but those around you: your friends, co-workers, partners and/or children. Reading the Personality Profile and forecasts for their signs will provide you with an insight into their behaviour that you won’t get anywhere else. You will know when to be more tolerant of them and when they are liable to be difficult or irritable.

In this edition we have included foot reflexology charts as part of the health section. So many health problems could perhaps be avoided or alleviated if we understood which organs were most vulnerable and what we could do to protect them. Though there are many natural and drug-free ways to strengthen vulnerable organs, these charts show a valid way to proceed. The vulnerable organs for the year ahead are clearly marked in the chart. It’s very good to massage the whole foot on a regular basis, as the feet contain reflexes to the entire body. Try to pay special attention to the specific areas marked in the chart. If this is done diligently, health problems can be avoided. And even if they can’t be completely avoided, their impact can be softened considerably.

I consider you–the reader–my personal client. By studying your Solar Horoscope I gain an awareness of what is going on in your life–what you are feeling and striving for and the challenges you face. I then do my best to address these concerns. Consider this book the next best thing to having your own personal astrologer!

It is my sincere hope that Your Personal Horoscope 2010 will enhance the quality of your life, make things easier, illuminate the way forward, banish obscurities and make you more aware of your personal connection to the universe. Understood properly and used wisely, astrology is a great guide to knowing yourself, the people around you and the events in your life–but remember that what you do with these insights–the final result–is up to you.

Understanding an Aries (#u14fd842a-85dd-56e5-a83a-056710d0e228)


Aries is the activist par excellence of the zodiac. The Aries need for action is almost an addiction, and those who do not really understand the Aries personality would probably use this hard word to describe it. In reality ‘action’ is the essence of the Aries psychology–the more direct, blunt and to-the-point the action, the better. When you think about it, this is the ideal psychological makeup for the warrior, the pioneer, the athlete or the manager.

Aries likes to get things done, and in their passion and zeal often lose sight of the consequences for themselves and others. Yes, they often try to be diplomatic and tactful, but it is hard for them. When they do so they feel that they are being dishonest and phony. It is hard for them even to understand the mindset of the diplomat, the consensus builder, the front office executive. These people are involved in endless meetings, discussions, talks and negotiations–all of which seem a great waste of time when there is so much work to be done, so many real achievements to be gained. An Aries can understand, once it is explained, that talks and negotiations–the social graces–lead ultimately to better, more effective actions. The interesting thing is that an Aries is rarely malicious or spiteful–even when waging war. Aries people fight without hate for their opponents. To them it is all good-natured fun, a grand adventure, a game.

When confronted with a problem many people will say ‘Well, let’s think about it, let’s analyse the situation.’ But not an Aries. An Aries will think ‘Something must be done. Let’s get on with it.’ Of course neither response is the total answer. Sometimes action is called for, sometimes cool thought. But an Aries tends to err on the side of action.

Action and thought are radically different principles. Physical activity is the use of brute force. Thinking and deliberating require one not to use force–to be still. It is not good for the athlete to be deliberating the next move; this will only slow down his or her reaction time. The athlete must act instinctively and instantly. This is how Aries people tend to behave in life. They are quick, instinctive decision-makers and their decisions tend to be translated into action almost immediately. When their intuition is sharp and well tuned, their actions are powerful and successful. When their intuition is off, their actions can be disastrous.

Do not think this will scare an Aries. Just as a good warrior knows that in the course of combat he or she might acquire a few wounds, so too does an Aries realize–somewhere deep down–that in the course of being true to yourself you might get embroiled in a disaster or two. It is all part of the game. An Aries feels strong enough to weather any storm.

There are many Aries people who are intellectual. They make powerful and creative thinkers. But even in this realm they tend to be pioneers–outspoken and blunt. These types of Aries tend to elevate (or sublimate) their desire for physical combat in favour of intellectual, mental combat. And they are indeed powerful.

In general, Aries people have a faith in themselves that others could learn from. This basic, rock-bottom faith carries them through the most tumultuous situations of life. Their courage and self-confidence make them natural leaders. Their leadership is more by way of example than by actually controlling others.




Finance


Aries people often excel as builders or estate agents. Money in and of itself is not as important as are other things–action, adventure, sport, etc. They are motivated by the need to support and be well-thought-of by their partners. Money as a way of attaining pleasure is another important motivation. An Aries functions best in their own businesses or as manager of their own departments within a large business or corporation. The fewer orders they have to take from higher up, the better. They also function better out in the field rather than behind a desk.

Aries people are hard workers with a lot of endurance; they can earn large sums of money due to the strength of their sheer physical energy.

Venus is their money planet, which means that Aries need to develop more of the social graces in order to realize their full earning potential. Just getting the job done–which is what an Aries excels at–is not enough to create financial success. The co-operation of others needs to be attained. Customers, clients and co-workers need to be made to feel comfortable; many people need to be treated properly in order for success to happen. When Aries people develop these abilities–or hire someone to do this for them–their financial potential is unlimited.




Career and Public Image


One would think that a pioneering type would want to break with the social and political conventions of society. But this is not so with the Aries-born. They are pioneers within conventional limits, in the sense that they like to start their own businesses within an established industry.

Capricorn is on the 10th house (career) cusp of Aries’ solar horoscope. Saturn is the planet that rules their life’s work and professional aspirations. This tells us some interesting things about the Aries character. First off, it shows that, in order for Aries people to reach their full career potential, they need to develop some qualities that are a bit alien to their basic nature: They need to become better administrators and organizers; they need to be able to handle details better and to take a long-range view of their projects and their careers in general. No one can beat an Aries when it comes to achieving short-range objectives, but a career is long term, built over time. You cannot take a ‘quickie’ approach to it.

Some Aries people find it difficult to stick with a project until the end. Since they get bored quickly and are in constant pursuit of new adventures, they prefer to pass an old project or task on to somebody else in order to start something new. Those Aries who learn how to put off the search for something new until the old is completed will achieve great success in their careers and professional lives.

In general, Aries people like society to judge them on their own merits, on their real and actual achievements. A reputation acquired by ‘hype’ feels false to them.




Love and Relationships


In marriage and partnerships Aries like those who are more passive, gentle, tactful and diplomatic–people who have the social grace and skills they sometimes lack. Our partners always represent a hidden part of ourselves–a self that we cannot express personally.

An Aries tends to go after what he or she likes aggressively. The tendency is to jump into relationships and marriages. This is especially true if Venus is in Aries as well as the Sun. If an Aries likes you, he or she will have a hard time taking no for an answer; many attempts will be made to sweep you off your feet.

Though Aries can be exasperating in relationships–especially if they are not understood by their partners–they are never consciously or wilfully cruel or malicious. It is just that they are so independent and sure of themselves that they find it almost impossible to see somebody else’s viewpoint or position. This is why an Aries needs as a partner someone with lots of social grace.

On the plus side, an Aries is honest, someone you can lean on, someone with whom you will always know where you stand. What he or she lacks in diplomacy is made up for in integrity.




Home and Domestic Life


An Aries is of course the ruler at home–the Boss. The male will tend to delegate domestic matters to the female. The female Aries will want to rule the roost. Both tend to be handy round the house. Both like large families and both believe in the sanctity and importance of the family. An Aries is a good family person, although he or she does not especially like being at home a lot, preferring instead to be roaming about.

Considering that they are by nature so combative and wilful, Aries people can be surprisingly soft, gentle and even vulnerable with their children and partners. The sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is on the cusp of their solar 4th house (home and family). When the Moon is well aspected–under favourable influences–in the birth chart an Aries will be tender towards the family and want a family life that is nurturing and supportive. Aries likes to come home after a hard day on the battlefield of life to the understanding arms of their partner and the unconditional love and support of their family. An Aries feels that there is enough ‘war’ out in the world–and he or she enjoys participating in that. But when Aries comes home, comfort and nurturing are what’s needed.





Horoscope for 2010 (#u14fd842a-85dd-56e5-a83a-056710d0e228)

Major Trends


In 2009 two major long-term planets–Saturn and Pluto–moved into a stressful alignment with you. This should not be taken lightly, as these planets are formidable and will test your mettle for the next 2 years. (It will be a lot easier for you in 2 years’ time.) You are in a period of character building. A period for gaining strength and for building up your spiritual and mental muscles. Rest assured, the cosmos–which is always loving and just–will not give you more than you can bear. It might push you to the edge, but never over the edge.

Yes, you will be working harder. Yes, your overall energy will not be up to its usual standards (we will discuss this further in the Health section, page 19). Yes, you will feel like you are walking uphill with the wind blowing in your face. But if you don’t give up, if you reach into your inner reservoirs of strength, many blessings will come. You will learn the art of alchemy–the art of taking negatives and transforming them into positives. You will develop endurance and courage. You will learn to perform well under pressure. And when the difficult period ends, you will be oh-so-much stronger and more confident.

Last year was a strong social year–but more in the nature of friendships. This area is still strong, but not as much as last year. Romance and marriages were getting tested last year, and this trend continues in the year ahead. The cosmos is going to put your social life into the ‘right order’ and sometimes it uses dramatic means. More on this later.

Spirituality was important last year, and this year it will become even more important–as Jupiter will move through your 12th house of spirituality in the year ahead.

Both Jupiter and Uranus will move into your sign for brief periods in the year ahead–this is a major headline. These are slow-moving planets. The last time Uranus was in Aries was approximately 88 years ago (most of you have never experienced this energy in this lifetime). The last time Jupiter was in Aries was 12 years ago. While these movements are not the ‘full-blown’ transit (this will happen in 2011), they are announcements of things to come–and they are good announcements. You are getting ready for tremendous freedom and financial abundance–and it can happen very suddenly. The very pressures on you, which seem so onerous and burdensome, will lead you to a greater freedom. (Those of you born early in the sign of Aries–between March 20th and 24th–will feel this transit most keenly.)

Last year Pluto moved into your 10th house of career for good (in 2008 he merely flirted with your 10th house). Pluto is now there for at least another 15 years. So your career is being ‘detoxed’–purified of effete attitudes and mis-thinking. More on this later.

Your areas of greatest interest in 2010 are spirituality, children, creativity and fun (until June 7th), health and work (from April 8th to July 22nd), love and marriage (from January 1st to April 8th and from July 22nd onwards), career, and friendships and group activities.

Your paths of greatest fulfilment are spirituality and career.




Health


(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days gone by there was no difference; these perspectives were identical. But nowadays there can be quite a difference. For the medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)

Health definitely needs watching this year, Aries. As mentioned, two strong planets are in stressful alignment with you most of the year (you do get a little break from April 8th to July 22nd). So, you need to watch your energy. This is the most important thing. Avoid burning the candle at both ends. Rest when tired. Work rhythmically and alternate activities. Wear the gems, metals and aromas of your sign. Try to organize your day so that more gets done with less energy. Delegate tasks where possible. Keep your focus on the essential things in your life and let lesser things go. (This will involve tough choices, but you will have to make them.)

Take a business-like approach to your energy. It is precious. You want to invest it where it will give you the maximum return. You certainly don’t want to waste it on frivolities.

When our health is stressed, it doesn’t mean that sickness has to happen. It only means that more time, energy and attention need to be devoted to health. The danger this year (especially until April 8th and from July 22nd onwards) is that you will ignore things. Your 6th house of health is not strong for most of the year. You will have to motivate yourself–force yourself–to pay more attention to your health even when you don’t feel like it.

The good news is that there is much you can do to enhance your health and prevent problems from developing. Pay more attention to your heart, arms, shoulders, head, and small intestine. There are many, many natural ways to strengthen these; I’m sure you know about them. However, some of you might want to work with the reflexology chart above.






Reflexology Try to massage the whole foot on a regular basis, but pay extra attention to the points highlighted on the chart. When you massage, be aware of ‘sore spots’, as these need special attention. It’s also a good idea to massage the ankles and top side (as well as the soles) of the feet.

Arms and shoulders should be regularly massaged. A scalp and face massage is generally very powerful for you, as the sign of Aries rules the head and the face. Therapies such as cranial sacral therapy, which deals with the alignment of the skull bones (ruled by Aries) are also favoured.

Saturn, which rules the back, spine, knees, teeth, bones, gallbladder and overall skeletal alignment, will be in your 6th house of health from April 8th to July 22nd. During this period, pay more attention to these parts of the body. Give more support to your knees when exercising. Regular visits to a chiropractor might be a good idea. Regular back massage would be powerful then, too.

There are certain periods this year where your health is even more stressed than usual–these are from January 1st to 20th, June 21st to July 23rd, September 23rd to October 23rd, and December 7th to 31st. These are periods to slow down and spend more time focusing on your health.

Kali phosphate and Kali sulphate are powerful homoeopathic remedies. The Ram, the Dog and the Pigeon are healing power animals–their medicine is beneficial.

Since your health planet, Mercury, is a fast-moving planet, there will be many short-term trends affecting your health. These will be discussed in the month-by-month reports.

If you mind your energy and follow the guidelines given, you should go through the year ahead with flying colours.




Home and Family


Your 4th house of home and family is not a House of Power this year. Thus you have more freedom and latitude to shape this area of life as you wish. The cosmos is not pushing you one way or the other. Generally, though, this alignment tends to indicate a status-quo kind of year.

However, this year there are two eclipses in your 4th house. This spells change. Also keep in mind that the Moon, your family planet, will get eclipsed twice this year as well. This needn’t mean a move. Often it just shows that hidden flaws in the home (and in the family and domestic relationship) are revealed so that they can be corrected.

Those of you born early in the sign of Aries (March 20th-23rd) can easily experience house moves–perhaps a few of them. This is because Uranus makes a brief visit to your sign from May 28th to August 14th. This is a rare transit. Most of you have never experienced anything like this–the last time it happened was 85-88 years ago! I wouldn’t be surprised if you move (or live) in a foreign country during this period. In many cases it will indicate a ‘vagabond’ kind of existence–living in different places for various periods of time–even though you still have an ‘official’ address. Those of you born later in the sign will merely feel the ‘urge’ to wander. But this transit is an announcement of things to come in 2011 and beyond.

Parents or parent figures are contemplating moves–but there are many delays involved. Children of appropriate age are having a status quo domestic year. Siblings probably should not move–though they are sorely tempted. They are better off making better use of the space that they have presently. Also, the cosmos is pushing them to reorganize and re-order their present domestic life.

Grandchildren are likely to move this year (especially for those of you born early in the sign of Aries).

Your spouse, partner or current love wants to make major renovations in the home, but you seem cool about it. If you are looking to beautify your home–i.e. repaint, redecorate, buy art objects and the like–May 20th to June 14th is a good time.

Parents or parent figures are contemplating cosmetic-type surgeries. What they really want is to ‘transform’ and ‘reinvent’ their body and image, and there are various non-surgical ways to do this. Many of them will opt for these ways, too. Children are also contemplating surgery–but not the cosmetic kind. Siblings need to mind their health more. Your spouse or partner benefits from alternative, experimental therapies–they have good luck with these things. But most importantly, they need to watch their energy–keep energy levels high–and avoid depression.




Finance and Career


Your 2nd house of finance is not a House of Power this year. Thus, most of you seem satisfied with things as they are and have no need to make major changes. Your financial life doesn’t need special attention. It’s a status-quo kind of a year.

For those of you born early in the sign of Aries (March 20th-23rd) it is a different story. Two powerful planets–Uranus and Jupiter–visit you briefly this year. Uranus will come into your sign from May 28th to August 14th; Jupiter will be in your sign from June 6th to September 10th. A very exciting period–and prosperous, too. The heavens are opening up to you and revealing riches and possibilities beyond your imagination. Your limitations get broken. A new freedom allows for new riches. While this is not the full-blown transit of these planets–these are announcements of things to come. You are being prepared for new freedom and new riches in 2011 and beyond (and this is true for all of you Aries). Your whole financial picture will change with the speed of lightning. You can be wallowing in problems or feel that you are stuck in a rut–and bam!–you are out. A friend, an acquaintance, an opportunity in a foreign land or events in foreign lands change the picture and produce opportunities.

Jupiter and Uranus travelling together is read by astrologers as ‘sudden wealth’–and this will happen for those of you born early in the sign. Those of you born later in the sign will experience this in coming years. Sudden wealth is a wonderful thing, but needs to be handled just so–for it tends to be unstable. One should set aside earnings into stable investments. When we say ‘sudden wealth’ we don’t mean that all of you will become millionaires (though many of you will, and some will even become billionaires). We mean that you attain your own ‘standard’ of wealth suddenly. For some this might mean a pay rise of X amount. For others a specified sum. For others a certain kind of lifestyle. But your net worth will increase ‘suddenly’.

There are lessons to be learned from poverty, and lessons to be gleaned from wealth. It is said in various scriptures that one needs to know how to live with both. Now–and in 2011–you will be learning the lessons of wealth.

Venus is your financial planet and she is a fast-moving planet. During the year she will move through all the signs and houses of your horoscope. Thus money and financial opportunities will come to you in a variety of ways and through a variety of people and conditions. These short-term trends are best dealt with in the month-by-month reports.

There are career changes happening this year–especially for those of you born early in the sign. Those of you born later, after March 26th, will experience these changes in future years–but all is being prepared. Your whole corporate hierarchy (and industry) is undergoing deep and fundamental change and this will open up opportunities for you. The barriers to advancement are being blown away. Your own attitudes to career and success are also getting purified. Non-helpful attitudes (perhaps unconscious) will go, and this will be very helpful to you. Many of you are doing deep re-thinking about your entire career path.

Your career planet shifts between two signs this year (like last year). It begins the year in the sign of Libra, then it moves into Virgo (where it has been for the past 2 years) from April 8th to July 22nd, and then moves back into Libra after July 22nd and for the next 2 years or so. While your career planet is in Libra (January 1st to April 8th and July 22nd to December 31st) you advance your career by ‘soft’ methods–through social means, through attending or hosting the right parties and gatherings, through making friends in the right places and, in some cases, through marriages, alliances and joint ventures. While Saturn is in Virgo you advance your career the old-fashioned way: through sheer hard work.

Your career planet shifting signs also shows that bosses and superiors value different things this year. Sometimes they value the work ethic–that becomes for them the paramount virtue. But other times they value ‘likeability’–social grace, the ability to get on with others–more than merely ‘hard work’. You need to be prepared for this shift.




Love and Social Life


When Saturn first moved into Libra (October 29th, 2009) it signalled a testing of current love relationships–marriages and partnerships. This doesn’t mean that they had to fail–though many have failed. It only means that great stress was put on these relationships–in the same way a car manufacturer puts unusual stress on a new design–to ferret out weaknesses and flaws and to determine how much stress and rough handling the vehicle can take. For basically sound relationships–where the fundamentals are good–these testings can be very valuable and lead to a more enduring and deeper relationship. For we never really know the depth of our love for or commitment to someone when ‘times are good’–when the sun is shining and the roses are blooming. It is during the tough times–the storms of life–that we learn of our love. Does he or she really love me? How much? How deeply? These are the questions that are getting answered now.

For relationships that were not fundamentally sound–that only survived because of fair weather or convenience–this transit signals the end. It is doubtful whether they can survive the tests.

Either way, the end result is good. It is good that a fundamentally flawed relationship ends–this leaves both parties free to find a more perfect relationship.

This testing process continues in the year ahead. There is a brief respite from April 8th to July 22nd (as Saturn moves out of the 7th house and back into the 6th) but then it resumes again from July 22nd onwards.

Last year was a great social year–especially in regard to friendships. This year, those friendships will also get tested.

But Saturn moving through your house of love and marriage also gives us other messages. It shows that you are mixing with people–socially and romantically–who are above you in status, the high and the mighty, people of power, prestige and position. For singles this is a classic aspect of the ‘office romance’–romance with the boss or a superior.

Love attitudes this year are practical. Singles are looking for the good provider, the settled and stable relationship, the person who can boost their career. In many cultures this aspect would indicate an arranged marriage. Our common notions of ‘romance’ are not shared by many cultures–they see it as an illusion and delusion. And many of you are feeling this way these days. Never mind passion–marriage or a relationship is a job, a career move, like any other. One can learn to love anyone, so one might as well learn to love the person who can help in practical ways.

Often these aspects show a marriage of convenience–this is especially so for singles. Those already married are in danger of keeping their relationship going strictly for the sake of it.

Another problem in relationships–and this pertains to those of your born early in the sign (March 20th-23rd)–is Uranus’ move into your sign. This is not a great aspect for committed kinds of relationships. It creates a desire for personal freedom–of wanting no obligations whatsoever–and this is the very antithesis of relationship. Those of you involved romantically with an Aries should understand this. Give your Aries mate as much space as possible this year (so long as it isn’t destructive). Try doing unconventional things together as a couple–e.g. whitewater rafting, journeys to exotic places, hiking the Grand Canyon or visiting the wildernesses of Greenland–things of that nature will satisfy the Aries’ longing for change.

Everything we have been saying pertains to those in or working towards their first marriage. Those in or working towards their second marriage are having a status-quo kind of year–marrieds will tend to stay married and singles will tend to stay single. Those working towards their third marriage had fabulous aspects in 2009–and still have good aspects in January of this year. Many of you remarried or had serious relationships. Those who didn’t still have beautiful opportunity from May 28th to August 14th.

With fast-moving Venus as your love planet, there are many short-term trends in love. These will be discussed in the month-by-month reports.




Self-improvement


Spirituality has been important in your life for many years now. Uranus has been moving through your 12th house of spirituality since 2002. This year spirituality becomes even more important as Jupiter moves into this house on January 18th and stays there for most of the year ahead (there is a brief interlude from June 6th to September 18th where it leaves the 12th house–but mostly it will be in your 12th house.)

So this is a year of spiritual growth and expansion. More so than in previous years. Those of you already on the path will experience more success here–your practices will yield greater results. There will be much interior spiritual revelation happening. You will actually ‘enjoy’ your spiritual practice–it will not be boring or tedious or done out only through an exertion of will. It will be a joy. You will actually look forward to your periods of meditation and prayer. They will be the highlights of your day.

Those of you not yet on a spiritual path will probably embark on one this year. The ‘great invisible’ has been calling to you for many years, and this year is likely to succeed.

Jupiter is your planet of religion, higher education and foreign travel. So his presence in your 12th house is giving us many messages. First off, you will be exploring the mystical traditions of your own native religion. No need to embrace other paths or other cultures–your own has everything you need if you could but penetrate it. What we call ‘organized’ or ‘exoteric’ religion is really the end result of the mystical experiences of its founders–it is based on mystical experience. If you can tap into this, you will have a newfound respect for your own culture and tradition.

But there are other messages here, too. This is a year for taking a religious pilgrimage. A year for taking spiritually-orientated retreats. A year for having personal experiences with the supernatural or paranormal.

The ‘great invisible’ has many ways of letting you know that it is around. Your dream life will become more active–and probably prophetic in many cases. In other cases it will just ‘dramatize’ a conundrum or problem you are having and thus reveal a solution. Often it shows the ‘why’ of a certain problem. Your intuition will be much sharper. There will be all kinds of synchronistic experiences–strange coincidences that can’t be explained logically. You think of someone and that person calls you. You wish for something and it happens. You need a parking spot in a busy area and it magically opens up. You are driving and an interior voice tells you to slow down, and right behind you is a police car.

This interior expansion is preparing the way for your greater freedom and prosperity in coming years. For as you ‘break through’ on the inner, the outer breakthroughs just naturally happen. You are seeing the intimate connection between your inner and outer life very starkly these days.

An interesting month, Aries, with many changes in store. You are in the midst of a yearly career peak right now that lasts until the 20th. There is much progress happening there. Also a solar eclipse occurs in your 10th house on the 15th. You should take a reduced schedule during this period–this eclipse seems strong on you–a few days before and after the eclipse. I read this eclipse as a positive from a career perspective. Yes, there are changes and upheavals in your career, but these seem to favour you. Keep a cool head until the dust settles. There are also upheavals in your company and corporate hierarchy and this will change the rules of the game. Parents or parent figures are experiencing dramatic events. There are dramas in the lives of children as well.

Mars, your ruling planet, is retrograde all month. Mercury, your work planet, is retrograde until the 15th. Thus you should not rush into a new job or promotion opportunity these days–these kinds of things will wait for you. Study them more. Ask more questions. Resolve all doubts. Things are not what they seem.

Overall energy is not what it should be, either. Be sure to rest and relax more. Overall health is good, but this is not one of your best months healthwise. You can enhance your health by paying more attention to your spine, knees, bones, teeth, gallbladder and overall skeletal alignment. More visits to a chiropractor might be a good idea. It’s important that your spine and overall posture be in the correct alignment. Give more support to your knees when exercising. Health and energy will improve after the 20th. Don’t rush into dramatic changes in your health regime until the 15th–these too need more study. After the 15th your judgement will be much better.

Personally, you want to have fun–Mars is in your 5th house–but career responsibilities prevent this. Yes, be ambitious and go after your dreams, but make sure to have some fun, too.

Love is good this month. Those of you who are married are giving priority to the marriage. You seem to hold your lover or partner in high esteem–you have them on a pedestal. Singles have love opportunities at work or with bosses or authority figures. There are opportunities for the classic office romance. You are more practical in love this month. Bottom-line issues seem very important. The passion of love takes a back seat to security issues. But this will change after the 18th, when you seem more idealistic about love. Singles find love opportunities as they pursue their career goals or with people involved in their career.




February


Best Days Overall: 7, 8, 17, 18, 26, 27

Most Stressful Days Overall: 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 24, 25

Best Days for Career: 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 22

Last month, on the 18th, Jupiter made a major move into your 12th house and you are now in a very powerful spiritual period–for many months into the future. This is a great time (but especially after the 18th) to get on the spiritual path or (for those of you already on it) to spend more time cultivating these things. Good for meditation seminars, spiritual studies, spiritual retreats, charitable and altruistic kinds of activities. Also good for going on that religious pilgrimage.

This is the kind of month where you will have many supernatural kinds of experiences–things that can’t be explained by logic. Those of you on the spiritual path will understand what is happening and actually rejoice in it, but for newcomers it can be scary. As Franklin Roosevelt said, ‘there is nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Observe what is happening–your dreams, the strange coincidences, the synchronicities, the intuitions and the hunches–but don’t judge. Simple observation will reveal what is happening–there is much more to life than what you experience with your senses.

Health is much improved over last month. To enhance your health even further pay more attention to your spine, knees, bones, teeth, gallbladder and skeletal alignment (like last month) until the 10th. After the 10th pay more attention to your calves and ankles. Massage them regularly and give your ankles more support when exercising. Avoid thinking too much or talking too much–you will have the tendency to do both this month! This will keep your life energy where it belongs: within you. There will be more available for cell repair and healing. (Also for the achievement of your fondest hopes and wishes.)

Your 11th and 12th houses are powerful this month. Thus the tone of the month is social and spiritual. A great period (but especially until the 18th) to get involved with groups and organizations (especially if these are of a spiritual nature).

Career is still powerful. Saturn, your career planet, is receiving wonderful aspect these days–especially early in the month. (It had great aspects last month, too.) But as mentioned, study all career opportunities more carefully.

Though marriage is not likely this month, it is still a happy love and financial month. Until the 11th, love and financial opportunities come through friends and through involvement with groups and organizations. Be sure to keep up to date with the latest technology, and don’t be afraid to upgrade your existing equipment. After the 11th love and financial opportunities come in spiritual ways–through intuition and hunches, through involvement in charities and through consciously accessing the spiritual supply. This is a period where you make progress in understanding the spiritual laws of supply.

February 12th to 16th is an amazing period for both love and money. If you feel lucky, go to the casino or buy a lottery ticket. But your good can come in other ways as well. Looks like a happy windfall or opportunity. Singles will meet someone significant during this period. There is also luck in speculations from the 26th to the 28th.




March


Best Days Overall: 6, 7, 16, 17, 25, 26

Most Stressful Days Overall: 2, 3, 9, 10, 23, 24, 29, 30

Mars, your ruling planet, has been retrograde since the beginning of the year. On the 10th he starts moving forward again–and will be in forward motion for the rest of the year. This shows that you have now found your own voice and your own centre. You have direction. You are clear. You are confident. You will start to make more rapid progress towards your goals.

The tone of the month–but especially until the 20th–is spiritual. Read our discussion of this last month. Intuition is guiding you in love and financial affairs.

On the 20th the Sun moves into your own sign and into your 1st house. Thus you enter a yearly personal pleasure peak. Spirituality is still important, but it doesn’t preclude having fun or enjoying the delights of the senses–probably you will do these things in a more conscious way. Health and energy will be wonderful. Those of you who have had health problems these past few months will suddenly and miraculously start to feel better. Perhaps some doctor or therapist will get the credit (and they deserve some) but the truth is that the planets have aligned themselves more harmoniously to you–they are giving you more energy. With energy, diseases flee. Life-force is the strongest medicine there is.

You are in the mood for fun and it comes to you. Love and financial opportunities seek you out (instead of the reverse) on the 5th to the 8th (but this will happen all month). You can afford to have fun. The money is there.

Singles don’t have to do much to have love–it seeks them out. You are having love (and most other things in life) on your own terms. You are not adapting to the world, the world is adapting to you. Job-seekers have wonderful opportunities all month but especially from the 7th to the 9th and the 15th to the 20th. Job opportunities seek you out, rather than vice versa. Although it is always good to use common sense when looking for a job, during this period poring through the classifieds seems like a waste of time.

Finances are also good. You are earning more and spending more–especially on yourself. Reckless spending seems the major danger.

Avoid speculation on the 11th, 12th, 25th and 26th. Be more careful driving on the 20th. Emotions run high in the family from the 14th to the 16th–be more patient with them. A new car or communication equipment comes to you from the 7th to the 9th.




April


Best Days Overall: 3, 4, 13, 14, 22, 23, 30

Most Stressful Days Overall: 5, 6, 19, 20, 26, 27

Best Days for Love: 5, 15, 16, 25, 26, 27

Best Days for Career: 5, 6, 7, 16, 25

The planetary power makes an important shift to the bottom half (the night side) of your horoscope after the 3rd. Thus you are in the ‘night-time’ of your year. Family, domestic and emotional issues are important–more important than career or outward ambition. This doesn’t mean that you abandon your career, only that you start paying more attention to your family and emotional harmony. When this is right–when your home base is stable–your career will improve almost on its own.

You are still very much into your yearly personal pleasure peak until the 20th. The party continues. Enjoy. On the 20th, as the Sun moves into Taurus, your money house, you begin a yearly financial peak. This is one of the most prosperous periods of your year. You are successful mostly because you are more focused on finances–and intense interest is 90 per cent of success. A business partnership or joint venture seems likely until the 25th. Your social contacts and social grace play their roles in your financial life. Your spouse or partner (or current love) is supportive financially. You earn money in happy ways. There is a joy in the financial life–happy experiences. You spend on leisure and entertainment (and also on your children if you have them)–more than usual. There is luck in speculations (though you should avoid them from the 14th to the 16th). If you need to attract outside investors or borrow money, the 4th to the 6th seems like a good time. (There is more sexual activity during this period, too–depending on your age and stage in life.)

Singles find love opportunities as they pursue their normal financial goals and with people involved in their financial life. Love is, once again, practical. Wealth and material gifts are turn-ons. Singles are going for gold. The danger here is relationships of convenience rather than relationships based on love. But by the 25th your love interests change. Communication and mental compatibility become important. There is a joy in sharing one’s thoughts with another in an open way. Love is shown through communication. Money is not enough for you; you need to love the other’s mind as well.

Health continues to be good. You can make it better by paying more attention to your neck, throat and jaw. Regular neck massage is very powerful this month. There are reflexes between your neck and shoulders that relieve neck tension–you should massage these areas. Your health planet goes retrograde on the 18th, so avoid making dramatic changes to your health regime from the 18th onwards. Saturn retrogrades back into your 6th house of health on the 3rd, so pay more attention to your spine, knees, bones, gallbladder and overall skeletal alignment. Get back into your disciplined health regimes of the past.




May


Best Days Overall: 1, 10, 11, 19, 20, 27, 28

Jupiter and Uranus make a very rare (once every 12 years or so) conjunction in your 12th house this month. A very happy–but dramatic–kind of aspect. Often this brings big financial windfalls. But in your case it is most likely to bring spiritual or religious kinds of breakthroughs. These things tend to change one’s whole life and whole attitude to life. A sudden insight into a perplexing problem changes everything. It also shows a sudden journey to a foreign land. Perhaps of a religious nature. There is a dramatic change in a legal issue you are involved with–a happy change. Students hear unexpected good news from universities or graduate schools.

On the 28th, as we have written, Uranus makes a rare move into your own sign–Aries. Thus you are ready for change–you feel it coming on. It might not be here yet (for many of you this will happen in future years) but you are feeling its call and getting yourself ready. You are creating a new ‘you’–and when the ‘you’ is different, everything is different.

Love has been challenging this year–serious love, that is. And now perhaps more so. You want your freedom and independence, and this generally doesn’t go well with serious relationships. Existing relationships will be tested by this as well.

The tone of the month ahead is financial (especially until the 20th) and intellectual. You are still in the midst of your yearly financial peak until the 20th. There is still, like last month, luck in speculations. You are spending more than usual on your children (if you have them) and on leisure activities–but can also earn from these fields. Mercury is still retrograde (until the 11th) in your money house, which suggests a need to be more careful in how you communicate about finance or with people involved in your financial life. Sales and marketing are unusually important this month–you should be planning these things until the 11th and then releasing the mailings or advertising blitzes afterwards.

Health is good this month but can be enhanced in the ways discussed last month.

When your 3rd house becomes powerful after the 21st it is a good time to expand your mind and pursue your intellectual interests. This is a time to catch up on all those letters, phone calls and e-mails. Your intellectual refinement will also attract love to you, until the 20th. The mind is as much a sexual organ as any other–perhaps more so. This period is also good for taking courses in subjects that interest you, for teaching and for giving speeches.

Last month, Uranus moved into your sign. This month, on the 6th, Jupiter joins him and these two very powerful planets are travelling together most of the month–they are conjunct. Many of the trends we wrote of last month are still very much in effect–perhaps even stronger. There are still sudden and unexpected journeys to faraway places, happy financial surprises, sudden lucky experiences, a religious pilgrimage, good luck for students seeking entrance to university or graduate school, good fortune in legal matters.

With Jupiter in your own sign now, Lady Luck is smiling on you. You are living the good life–eating the best foods and going to the best places. There is luck in speculations. There is a need to watch your weight now. Women of child-bearing age are more fertile these days. The urge for personal freedom is even stronger than last month and, again, this tests existing relationships. Singles are more interested in love affairs than in serious romance–and perhaps this is the right way to be right now.

Until the 14th love is close to home and comes through family members or family connections. (Financial opportunities likewise.) Emotional closeness–intimacy–is the way to your heart, and to the heart of a current love. But after the 14th love is about fun–non-serious, just good times, another form of entertainment. The person who shows you the best time is the one who appeals to you.

There is a lunar eclipse on the 26th in your 10th house and this suggests career change. This is not a surprise. You are in the mood for more freedom and will want a career that allows for that. There can be near-death type experiences in the lives of family members or parent figures. Perhaps surgery. As with every lunar eclipse, if there are problems in the home they will be revealed so that you can correct them. Be more patient with family members during the period of the eclipse. Also take a reduced schedule.

Though overall health is good, take a more reduced schedule from the 21st onwards. Do what needs to be done, but focus on what’s most essential.

Enhance your health in the ways mentioned last month, until the 10th. After that enhance your health by paying more attention to your lungs, small intestine, arms and shoulders. Watch your speech and your thoughts–keep them positive and constructive. Avoid talking or thinking too much.

Venus re-stimulates an eclipse point from the 9th to the 11th and this can bring upheavals (generally temporary) in love and finance. Be more patient. Let the dust settle. The solutions will be there.

This month we see phenomena that we haven’t seen in a few years. There is a lot of fire in the horoscope. Some 30 per cent and sometimes 50 per cent of the planets will be in fire signs for most of the month. On a world level we will hear more talk of global warming. (This talk will vanish in a few months as the fire element weakens.) There will be more fires and the like. But for you, Aries, this is comfortable. You are fiery by nature and so you revel in this kind of energy. Health is good. You feel optimistic. You have the energy and enthusiasm to achieve any goal. Goals are achieved quickly. The pace of life quickens (only keep in mind that 30 per cent of the planets are retrograde and, after the 23rd, 40 per cent will be retrograde–make haste but with mindfulness and awareness.) The only problem here is too much of a good thing. You can be more rash and impulsive than usual. Your innate optimism might be unrealistic at times and you may try to bite off more than you can chew. Haste is probably the leading cause of accidents, so be especially mindful now–especially from the 28th to the 31st as Mars opposes Uranus.

There is a solar eclipse on the 11th that is strong on you, Aries, so be sure to take a reduced schedule for a few days before and after. Do what you need to do, but spend more quiet time at home and avoid risky activities.

This eclipse occurs in your 4th house and once again has an impact on the family, family members, children and people who are like family to you. There are dramatic experiences in their lives. They will tend to be temperamental. The family unit itself can be in crisis–threatened in some way. Be more patient with family members and parent figures (they are also involved here). Often during these kinds of eclipses (sometimes a week before or after) you discover problems in the physical home and these will need your attention. But these problems have been there for a long time and it is good that they are revealed–this way they can get corrected.

A love affair (not a marriage) gets tested now.

In spite of all the muss and fuss of the eclipse, life is basically good overall. As mentioned, health is good–though you need to rest and relax more until the 23rd. You can enhance your health by paying more attention to your stomach and chest until the 9th and to the heart afterwards. With Jupiter and Uranus in your own sign you are experiencing freedom and prosperity. Love is more difficult, and existing relationships are more stressed. You will have to force yourself to show more love and warmth to others–you might be unconsciously projecting coldness and criticism, and being judgemental.

Last month, on the 23rd, you entered another yearly personal pleasure peak and it is continuing this month as well (until the 23rd). A party period. You will be working hard as well–working hard and playing hard. On the 23rd, as the Sun enters your 6th house, you are more serious about things and focusing on health and work issues. The party is still happening but is more subdued–you are taking a work break.

The power in the fire element is dying down this month and levels will be more ‘normal’ (the way they have been for a few years) after the 23rd. The pace of events is slowing down. Add the fact that 40 per cent of the planets are in retrograde motion (and, after the 20th, 50 per cent) and the slow-down is even stronger. A good month for a holiday as nothing much is happening in the world anyway. Also good for learning patience–a general weakness in the Aries personality.

With so much retrograde activity, the cosmos is calling you to avoid shortcuts. Be slower but more perfect in what you do. Pay attention to the little details and get them right.

Health is more stressed this month as three planets in Libra are stressing you out. Happily you are more focused on health–making it a priority–and this is a help. Rest and relax more and pay more attention to your heart and small intestine. Earth-orientated therapies such as mud packs, mud baths and healing crystals are good now. If you feel under the weather, spend more time in the mountains or old forests or caves–places where the earth energy is strong–and you will feel much better.

The planetary power is now mostly in the Western, social sector of the chart (the sunset period of your year). Sunset is the time for lovers. You are more social now, but love–serious love–seems very complicated. You are no shrinking violet these days. You go after the person you want. You are popular–as you go out of your way for others and for your beloved–yet Saturn in your 7th house seems to deny romance. You have opportunities but feel blocked–inhibited. Perhaps there is some fear about love–some innate pessimism that needs to be looked at.

Mars, your ruling planet, travels with Saturn, your career planet, early in the month–this suggests romantic opportunities with older people, or people of high status and prestige. You are more involved with a parent or parent figure, too.

Love opportunities are there, but go slow and steady. No need to rush into anything.

A business partnership or joint venture seems in the making after the 7th.

Last month Uranus left your sign and this month, on the 10th, Jupiter follows. After the 10th there is almost no fire in the horoscope (only when the Moon moves through a fire sign temporarily). No more talk of global warming. The earth is colder now. It is at times like these that the world needs people like you, Aries–it needs your fire, your flame of passion and enthusiasm, your optimism and can-do attitude. Your natural leadership qualities get more respect. Yes, it is great to have good ideas and communication skills. Great to have a pragmatic attitude, but without the verve and energy of fire these things ring hollow. Without people like you to motivate others–to light a fire under them–they will just ‘go through the motions’.

Health still needs more watching–especially after the 23rd. Like last month, enhance your health by resting and relaxing more and working to a rhythm. Try to alternate your activities. Pay more attention to your heart and small intestine. Be more mindful on the 1st and drive defensively. Avoid risk-taking activities. Mind your temper.

Job-seekers had many opportunities last month and this trend continues in the month ahead. But last month your work planet went retrograde on the 20th and will be retrograde until the 12th of this month. Job opportunities need more study. Job changes as well. After the 12th judgement should be clearer about these things.

With Saturn camping out on an eclipse point all month there are changes in your career. Upheavals happening. There are shakeups in your corporate hierarchy and in your industry. Parents and parent figures are experiencing personal dramas, too. But these shakeups are helping you–opening doors for you. Be alert.

This month the planetary power shifts–and in a dramatic way–from the lower to the upper half of the horoscope. In fact, by the 23rd 90 per cent of the planets will be in the upper half–a huge percentage. This is the time to pursue your career goals. By now your family situation should be more stable, and you can serve them best by being successful in the world.

On the 23rd, as the Sun enters Libra, you enter a yearly social peak. For singles there are many love opportunities–more dating, parties and going out. Those already in a relationship are having their relationships tested. The best way to save a current marriage is to make it your number-one priority–almost your mission in life. Anything less will not do it.




October


Best Days Overall: 3, 4, 11, 12, 21, 22, 30, 31

Most Stressful Days Overall: 1, 2, 7, 8, 13, 14, 28, 29

Best Days for Love: 1, 7, 8, 9, 18, 19, 28

Best Days for Money: 1, 2, 9, 10, 18, 19, 23, 24, 28, 29

Best Days for Career: 7, 16, 13, 14, 26

You are still in a yearly social peak until the 23rd. There is a romantic opportunity with someone older or a boss on the 1st and 2nd. A child of appropriate age has a wonderful career opportunity or has some career success at his or her present job.

There is still a need to make your marriage, current relationship and social life your main mission in life. This will bring social success.

Venus makes a rare retrograde on the 8th. Thus, this is a good period to review your love and social life and see where improvements can be made. As mentioned, this is not a time (from the 8th onwards) to make important love decisions. Often we meet seemingly exciting people under this retrograde, but don’t get swept off your feet–go slow and steady in love. There is no rush.

Finances should be reviewed as well. This is no time to make important financial decisions, major purchases or investments. Of course, you continue with your normal expenditures–you don’t stop buying groceries or necessities–but you are more careful with the big things.

Health needs watching until the 23rd, but the problems are only temporary. As mentioned, strive to maintain high energy levels. Pay more attention to your heart all month, to your small intestine (until the 3rd), kidneys and hips (from the 3rd to the 21st), and colon, bladder and sexual organs (from the 23rd onwards). Detox regimes are powerful from the 22nd onwards.

Your 8th house was powerful last month and will get even stronger in the month ahead. Whatever your age or stage in life there is a strong libido and more sexual activity. Your spouse, partner or current love is having a banner financial month (he or she is now in a yearly financial peak). There is better spousal support and generosity now.

This is an excellent period to get rid of the excess and effete from your life–whether possessions, effete material in the body or old, outworn mental and emotional patterns.

For those on the spiritual path, this a period for going more deeply into the mysteries of resurrection and transformation. Both these things depend on getting rid of excess.

On a more mundane level, this is a good time for paying off debt, attracting outside investors to your projects (or dealing with existing investors) or borrowing money. Prosper this month by helping others to prosper–by putting their financial interests ahead of your own.




November


Best Days Overall: 7, 8, 17, 18, 26, 27

Best Days for Career: 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 22

Many of the trends that we wrote of last month are still in effect now. Venus, your love and financial planet, is still retrograde–so finances and love are in a period of review and study. Some 90 per cent, and sometimes 100 per cent, of the planets are still in the upper half of the horoscope–ambitions are strong and much career progress is being made. You can continue to de-emphasize emotional and family issues and focus more on outer success. Saturn is still in your house of marriage, testing and reorganizing your love life, marriage and friendships. Proceed slowly in love. Allow time–whether you are planning a marriage or divorce.

Like last month, your 8th house is powerful until the 22nd. Review our discussion of last month.

This month your 9th house is powerful, too. It started to get strong on the 28th of last month and will get even stronger this month. Thus foreign lands are calling to you and there will be happy opportunities for foreign travel, too. Your travel planet, Jupiter, will start to move forward on the 18th, so try to schedule your travel after that. There are also many other happy things going on. There are happy educational opportunities. Students, on the university or graduate school level, seem successful. Applicants likewise. Those of you involved in legal issues should see improvement in the month ahead. There are religious and philosophical breakthroughs for those who want them–and when these things happen there is great joy. The mental horizons get expanded. The Hindu religion considers the 9th house to be the most fortunate of all the houses–so this is a happy month.

Health is much improved this month–especially after the 22nd. Still, with Saturn having an impact on you, pay due attention–especially to your heart (all month), your colon, bladder and sexual organs (until the 9th), and your liver and thighs (from the 9th onwards). Detox is still powerful until the 9th. Regular thigh massage is powerful after the 9th.

Job-seekers should look in foreign lands or with foreign companies. There are also opportunities at universities, religious institutions, travel agencies and publishers.




December

Best Days for Career: 1, 7, 8, 10, 20, 28

The planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward this month. Some 90 per cent are moving forward, and from the 6th to the 10th (and from the 30th onwards) 100 per cent are forward. So this is a month of rapid forward motion–just the way you like things.

Your 10th house of career becomes powerful after the 8th. On the 21st, as the Sun crosses the Midheaven, you enter a yearly career peak. Keep in mind that 90 per cent (and sometimes 100 per cent) of the planets are still in the upper half of the horoscope. So this is a banner career month. You are on top–elevated–respected–honoured and appreciated. There are pay rises and promotions. You are honoured for your professional achievements but also for who you are. Push forward boldly to your goals. Reach for the Sun, Moon and stars.

Health becomes more delicate after the 21st–probably due to the focus on your career and the demands of success. As always, try to rest and relax more. Pay more attention to your heart (all month), your liver and thighs (on the 1st and from the 19th to the 31st), and your spine, knees, teeth, bones, gallbladder and skeletal alignment (from the 2nd to the 19th).

Mercury goes retrograde right in the heart of the Christmas shopping season–from the 10th to the 30th. Probably a good idea to do your shopping early.

With your financial planet (Venus) now moving forward, the financial picture is more clear. Your financial judgement is sound. If you have done your review in the past few months, your goals are clear and you are ready to implement your improvements. Venus is receiving wonderful aspects from Jupiter, so this is a prosperous month. But, as mentioned earlier, you need to be aware of the financial interests of others and put them first. Good to pay off debt. Your spouse or partner seems very generous and is prospering. There are opportunities with troubled properties or troubled companies. You need to keep taxes in mind when making important financial decisions. Inheritance can happen for many of you. Others are planning their estates now.

Love is still delicate. You still need to make your marriage or relationship your number-one priority (a rival to your career). Singles seem most interested in the sexual chemistry. There are many opportunities this month. Marriage seems unlikely, though. A happy sex life will cover many sins in a troubled marriage–but your relationship needs more than that.
