As mentioned, Uranus is making a major move into your sign on March 12. This has many wonderful points – you are entering an era of personal freedom, breaking out of ruts and tedious routines. There is much change and excitement in your life. But this aspect can make people blindly rebellious, and this can create all sorts of problems. There is a positive way to ‘rebel’ – that is, by creating or living by a superior set of values than the status quo. But rebellion for the sake of it tends to be destructive. Not all authority or tradition is evil. Try to be more discerning about what you rebel against.
Saturn is in your 7th house of love, marriage and social activities. Thus your marriage (and many friendships) are getting tested. Your task is to keep the unpleasantness to the bare minimum. If a relationship is dissolving, you have a choice: you can maximize the negativity or minimize it. Choose to minimize. One can part as friends or as enemies. The choice is always yours.
With Saturn in the 7th house there tends to be disappointments with friends or lovers. Relationships get ‘reality checked’. Your challenge is to learn forgiveness and move on. Forgiveness doesn’t mean that we whitewash the negative or hurtful actions of others. The actions were wrong, but the people acted out of internal pressures that forced them to behave as they did. You will know that you have succeeded when you are able to think of the person who disappointed you with inner peace, calm and harmony. If you can’t, you have to work on more forgiveness.

An exciting, eventful but very hectic month. You need all your energy to deal with career responsibilities, so let lesser things go. Try to rest and relax more, too – especially until the 20th.
Until January 22 ALL the planets (with the exception of the Moon) are above the horizon of your chart. There will be times (from the 1st to the 9th) where 100 per cent of the planets are above the horizon. Your 10th house is very powerful and you are in the midst of a yearly career peak. You seem very successful this month. You can let home and family issues go for a while; your job is to serve your family by being successful.
A solar eclipse on the 4th also occurs in your 10th house, showing career changes, shake-ups in your corporate hierarchy and industry. And this seems to work in your favour. The eclipse blasts away the obstructions to your success. But your hard work, your aggressiveness, your courage also play their part. You seem in charge, in control, elevated – especially until the 15th.
The other headline this month is Jupiter’s move into your own sign. This brings financial expansion, luck in speculations (not just gambling, but catching the breaks in life), travel and educational opportunities and the ‘good life’. Self-esteem and confidence are very high. Those of you on the spiritual path are meeting a guru soon – it can happen this month, but also in future months. This person is coming to you. Those not on the path are meeting a ‘mentor’ type – a teacher who can help you.
Love is a bit rocky this month. Your focus on your career seems to complicate things. You are probably not able to devote as much time to this area as you should. If you are in a relationship, your beloved feels neglected. Marrieds are having their relationships tested – this is true for the rest of the year ahead, but especially this month. Things should improve after the 15th, and improve even further after the 20th.
Singles find love opportunities in foreign lands, or in religious or educational settings – in church, synagogue, mosque or ashram – or at school. Troubled relationships can be treated by taking a journey together or by taking courses together as a couple.
Health will improve after the 20th. Pay more attention to your liver and thighs until the 13th and to your spine, knees, teeth, gall bladder and overall skeletal alignment afterwards. Happily, your health becomes a priority after the 13th. You pay more attention, and this is good.

Last month the planetary momentum was overwhelmingly forward – there were times when 100 per cent of the planets were forward (highly unusual). This trend continues in the month ahead. Progress is rapid. Events happen quickly. Ninety per cent of the planets are forward. The only exception is the career planet, Saturn, which went retrograde late last month – January 24. This is just as well, as by now you have achieved your major career goals for the period, and can shift to studying things more. Career changes need more homework. No rush now to jump into things. Get all the facts and resolve all doubts. You are still in a strong career period, but not as strong as last month. This month your focus shifts to your social life – friendships, groups, organizations, group activities and also romance. Later in the month – from the 19th onwards – your focus shifts again, this time to spirituality.
Love is still being tested, but is much improved. Your spouse, partner or current love is also very ambitious, and seems to support your career goals. This is a month where you socialize with high-status people – and they are helpful in career matters, too. You have been in a cycle conducive to achieving career goals by social means for more than a year now, but this month seems especially strong for this. Attend the right parties – and consider hosting parties as well. Your social connections are probably more important now than your actual abilities. These connections open up the right doors.
Singles find love opportunities as they pursue their career goals or with people involved with their career. Power allures you. Love is practical these days, as if it’s a career move, a job. Romantic feeling seems to have little to do with it. Thus singles can have office-type romances during this period – with bosses or superiors. Existing relationships seem cold and mechanical – everyone does their duty (celebrates the birthday or anniversary, says ‘I love you’ in a mechanical way, sends the right cards, etc.) but the spark of passion seems missing. You will have to ignite this on your own – project more warmth towards others.
The Sun travels together with your Ruler, Mars from the 1st to the 15th. This is a beautiful health aspect. You have more energy and athletic ability. More personal charisma. For singles this shows a love affair (not something serious). It shows luck in speculations and increased personal creativity. Aries of appropriate age are very fertile during this period. But you need to watch your temper and avoid rush and haste.
The Sun’s conjunction with Neptune from the 16th to the 19th brings spiritual breakthroughs, insights and understanding. Also Mars conjunct with Neptune from the 20th to the 22nd.
Avoid foreign travel (if possible) from the 19th to the 28th. If you can, reschedule.
Finances are good this month, your financial judgement is sober and sound. You get value for your pound. You have a good long-term perspective on wealth. Also you have the favour of ‘higher ups’, who seem helpful.
