Two powerful long-term planets have been stressing you out for the past two years or so – Saturn and Pluto. Thus your overall energy (usually superabundant) has not been up to its usual standards. These planets are still in stressful aspect in the year ahead. So you need to watch your energy, pace yourself, and focus on the things that are really essential to you.
The main danger here is that your 6th house of health is empty. Thus, you might not be paying enough attention to your health. Your tendency would be to ignore things. So you need to force yourself to focus on health even though you don’t feel like it.
You can do much to enhance your health by paying more attention to your head, face, scalp, heart, lungs, small intestine, arms and shoulders. Regular head and face massage always does wonders for you, but especially this year. Likewise the arms and shoulders.
Do your best to eliminate the twin devils, worry and anxiety, from your life. Some of you might benefit from medication for these things. A better way, however, is inner work – prayer and meditation. Medication relieves symptoms (and this is a great thing) but inner work will strike at the root cause of the worry.
Your health planet, Mercury, is a fast-moving planet. During the year he will move through all the various signs and houses of your horoscope. So, your health needs – and the therapies that are powerful for you – tend to change very rapidly. These short-term trends are discussed in the monthly reports.
Jupiter in your own sign brings a lot of fun, pleasure and prosperity, but from a health perspective it does have a downside. Too much of a good thing is the problem.
Uranus in your own sign brings personal freedom. For those of you involved in athletics, it brings enhanced athletic performance. It also indicates a desire to test the physical limits of the body.
Home and Family
Your 4th house of home and family is not a ‘house of power’ this year. This tends to indicate the status quo. However, there is a solar eclipse in your 4th house on July 1. Also there are two lunar eclipses this year. (The Moon is your family planet, and so this extra eclipse is significant.) Thus there could be repairs in the home – major ones – and family upheavals. But these seem like short-term things.
The main headline is Uranus’ move into your own sign on March 12. This brings the ‘nomadic spirit’. There is a need for constant change. And while you might not actually change your residence, you are likely to live in many different places for long periods of time. Visiting so-and-so for a while, staying in a motel for a while – these sorts of things.
Your spouse, partner or current love wants to make drastic renovations to the home – though you seem neutral about this. (The eclipses could force the issue.) He or she is also experiencing family upheavals, near-death (or perhaps even actual death) experiences of family members. He or she seems to be supporting family members – parents or parent figures. This emotional stress is not helping your relationship.
Finance and Career
Finance, as mentioned, is going to be a great focus in the year ahead – especially after June 4. Apart from this, you have all the classic indicators of prosperity and good fortune. Jupiter, the planet of wealth and abundance, moves through your own sign from January 22 to June 4. After that he moves into your money house, expanding earnings and making things that you already own worth more. Enjoy.
Many of you have felt in a rut for many years – in a grind, a routine, going nowhere. This is changing in the year ahead. Uranus is moving into your sign for the long term. You are breaking free. By the time Uranus is finished with you, you will be in radically different personal circumstances than you are now.
As mentioned, when Jupiter moves into your sign you will be living the grand lifestyle. (Keep in mind that this grand lifestyle is a relative thing – it will be grand according to your position in life.) Regardless of what you have in your pocket or bank account, you will be living ‘as if’ you were rich. You are a free spender in the year ahead – an impulse shopper and investor. Also you are more speculative and risk-taking than usual. Most of the time these risks will work out, as you are lucky this year – but you need to be a bit more restrained about this, as you can tend to overdo it.
There is more travel in your life this year – both foreign and domestic. Many of you will be living out of your suitcases.
Early in the year (until June 4) you spend on yourself. You are cultivating the image of wealth – dressing expensively, etc. Your personal appearance is a big factor in earnings.
There are job and career opportunities in foreign lands. Investors will find interesting and profitable investment opportunities in foreign lands as well. Foreigners or foreign companies can be important in your financial life.
Jupiter is the planet of religion, philosophy and higher education. So, many of you will have interesting educational opportunities that further your career. On a deeper level, Jupiter is the ‘law giver’ of the cosmos. When you are under his rays, the ‘law’ of a thing – of wealth, of success – is revealed to you. And when you follow this law, success just happens. So this is a year where the laws of wealth and success – or personal expansion – are given unto you. With these laws you will always be able to produce the wealth that you want.
Career is volatile these days. On the one hand you are gifted with a great focus that fosters success. But there is also great turmoil going on. The industry you are in is changing dramatically. A solar eclipse early in the year (January 4) is signalling career change.
Love and Social Life
This area has been difficult for the past year or so, and this trend continues in the year ahead. Marriage (especially if it is the first one) is being tested and, in truth, it is doubtful whether it can survive. (This applies to business partnerships as well.) Fundamentally sound relationships can survive, but it will take a lot of work and total commitment to keep things going.
Part of the problem is Saturn’s position in your 7th house of marriage and partnership. This is showing a coldness in the relationship. Everyone is doing their ‘job’, but it all seems ‘mechanical’. The spark of romance, of warmth, of feeling, needs to be lit. It will take some creativity on your part to do this.
Singles (those working towards their first marriage) should probably not marry this year. Probably you are dating less than usual, and this is OK. The cosmos is calling on you to focus on quality rather than quantity. Your taste gravitates to older, more established people. You like people of power and authority. The only problem with this is that these people tend to be controlling, and this is not something you can handle this year. You have a passion for personal freedom these days.
Singles find love opportunities as they pursue their career goals, or with people involved in their career.
Those working towards their second, third or fourth marriage have beautiful aspects this year and a marriage could easily happen – a marriage or a relationship that is ‘like’ a marriage. The beauty of these aspects is that there is nothing special you need to do – this new love is coming to you, seeking you out, and will find you. This person seems very devoted to you as well.
Friendships also seem happy in the year ahead. New and important friends are coming into your life – especially after March 12. They are devoted to you. You will be more involved with groups, organizations and group activities. Friendship seems just as important to you as romance.
Self-improvement
Spirituality has been important in your life for many years, and this trend continues in the year ahead. For the past seven years you have got deeper into
