Two eclipses not withstanding, the good times continue to roll for you. The world at large might be shaken up a bit (as generally happens during eclipse periods) but you seem unscathed. The solar eclipse of the 1st occurs in your money house and shows important and dramatic financial changes – but it seems to me that these will be good. You might have to make changes in your financial strategy because you have been thinking too small. Also, with more earnings, you need to change banks, brokers, financial planners and investments.
You are still very much in a yearly financial peak until the 23rd. Jupiter’s move into your own sign on the 4th also signals prosperity. No matter what your actual financial worth is, you will live ‘as if’ you were rich. Your spouse or partner seems very generous with you. An inheritance, insurance or royalty payment can come as well. (This can happen in the next six months as well.) Seems very easy now to borrow or increase your line of credit. People seem willing to invest in you.
The lunar eclipse of the 15th occurs in your 8th house. This shows that your spouse, partner or current love is also making dramatic financial changes. Often this kind of eclipse will bring encounters with death – usually on a psychological level. You drive and narrowly escape a major accident, or someone close to you has a near-death kind of experience. Often people have dreams of death with these aspects. These are just ‘gentle reminders’ from on high that life is short and fragile and it’s time to get down to the important things of life. Also it forces you to overcome your fears of death – a major reason why many don’t fulfil their highest potential. Every lunar eclipse tests your car and communication equipment; this one is no different. Generally they will produce dramas in the lives of siblings (or those who are like siblings to you).
The solar eclipse of the 1st brings dramas in the home or with family members. Dirty laundry in the family relationship comes up for cleansing.
The social life seems more stressful this period – especially after the 21st. But the problems seem short term. Parents or parent figures are having a crisis in their marriage or current relationship. There are disagreements with friends from the 1st to the 3rd (seems about finances), from the 8th to the 10th and the 20th to the 22nd. Be more patient with them during these periods – don’t make matters worse than they need to be.
Health is good, but too much of the good life (which will continue for the rest of the year) can wreak carnage on your figure. Enjoy your life, but in moderation. You can enhance your health even further by paying more attention to the neck and throat (until the 9th), the lungs, arms and shoulders (from the 9th onwards). Good health has a strong cosmetic effect until the 9th – in fact it is the best cosmetic there is.

On the 21st of last month the Sun entered your 3rd house of communication and intellectual interests. It will be there (along with two other planets) until the 23rd. This is a period for mental and intellectual growth. Time to feed your mind. And exercise it – study things that interest you, attend lectures and workshops on subjects that you enjoy. Digest these ideas – make them your own by mulling them over and extracting their real meaning. Then express your insights to others, either by the spoken or written word. If you don’t have anyone with whom you can discuss ideas, write them down in a journal.
The mind is sharp these days and learns quickly – another reason to study things that interest you. Students should do well now. University or graduate-level students have institutions pursuing them. Very beautiful educational opportunities are happening for them (last month, too).
Your career planet, Uranus, goes retrograde on the 9th. Your 4th house of home and family becomes very strong from the 23rd onwards and the lower half of your horoscope is dominant now. A very clear message: Let go of career and focus on home and family. Career conundrums will take time to resolve themselves and you can’t really force anything to happen now. Spend more time with the family. Get into emotional harmony.
A career conflict seems intense from the 7th to the 9th, but short term. Be more patient with parents or parent figures then, too.
With your 4th house strong this is a time for family gatherings and entertainments. Ideas for a family business will come (if you are not already involved in one). A strong 4th house also shows psychological growth and insight – psychological breakthroughs. You are more nostalgic these days. Dreams centre around the past.
The solar eclipse on the 1st will also bring up old memories so that you can resolve them. It brings (as every solar eclipse does) dramas with parents, parent figures and family members. This eclipse occurs in your 3rd house and will test cars and communication equipment. Drive more carefully during this period (a few days before and after).
Love is less stressful than last month. It is improving day by day. But there are short-term problems from the 4th to the 11th. You and your spouse or current love just don’t see eye to eye. Neither of you is correct in absolute terms. Both perspectives are valid.
Overall health is good, but rest and relax more after the 23rd. Enhance health by paying more attention to your stomach and breasts (from the 4th to the 23rd) and to your heart afterwards. Diet and emotional harmony are important until the 23rd.

Health still needs more watching until the 23rd, but afterwards your naturally good health and vitality return. Enhance your health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report, but also pay more attention to your heart (until the 22nd) and to your small intestine. The right diet is a health issue all month.
Love is improving as well. Your love planet has been retrograde for a few months, so this is not a time for making major love decisions one way or the other, but within this retrograde love seems more harmonious. Marrieds will have more harmony in the marriage after the 23rd. Current relationships will be more harmonious. Singles will meet interesting love opportunities after the 23rd – but with Pluto retrograde go slow in love; let it develop. This is really a period for love affairs – after the 23rd. And these seem plentiful. But serious love will need time to develop.
Your 4th house of home and family is still strong until the 23rd. So what we wrote last month still applies until the 23rd.
The Sun enters your 5th house on the 23rd. Venus, the lord of your horoscope, enters on the 22nd. So you begin another yearly personal pleasure peak. A time to enjoy life and explore the ‘rapture’ side of life. You will be more involved with children – either your own or in general. You get on better with them these days – because you feel more youthful, more like a child, and you relate to them as equals.
Finances are good overall, but your financial planet is retrograde most of the month (from the 3rd to the 26th). Once again, this is a time for reviewing your finances – reviewing your products or services and seeing where improvements can be made. This is not the time to make changes, but to mull them over and get more facts. Major investments in the
