Best Days for Career: 1, 2, 11, 12, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 29
Two main interests dominate the month ahead: spirituality (continued from last month) and personal pleasure (from the 20th onwards). You enter a yearly personal peak. And this year it is going to be stronger than it has been for many years (for Jupiter is also in your 1st house during this period). A time for fulfilling all your bodily fantasies – and the opportunities will come.
At the beginning of the month you are ‘other-worldly’, more interested in the non-carnal pleasures of the spirit, and then you become very worldly, very body-orientated – a complete reversal. One extreme seems to lead to the other.
Your birthday is your personal new year, from an astrological perspective. This is the time (especially while your 12th house is strong (until the 20th) to review the past year. Make a sober account. See what you have achieved and what is left to yet be achieved. Look at the high points and the low points. Look at the errors and ‘atone’ for them (correct them). Then set your goals for the year ahead. Write down your goals. The old is over with. You are entering a new year and a new day. Start with a clean slate.
Now that Uranus is in your own sign (since March 12) you are not only experimental with your body – testing its limits, perhaps being a daredevil – you are also experimental with personal pleasure. You are eager to explore all kinds of new pleasures that heretofore were only ‘fantasies’. Nothing wrong with that, as long as they are not destructive kinds of things.
Health is excellent this month. You are supercharged with energy. If anything, the danger here is ‘too much good health’ – too much energy. Sometimes this makes people ‘bite off more than they can chew’ – attempt things that are beyond them. Daredevil-type escapades. And these things can lead to injury. Yes, be a daredevil, but in a mindful, conscious way.
With Uranus in your own sign (and 90 per cent of the planets in the East), you want your way and are getting it. You have a passion for personal freedom. Anyone involved romantically with an Aries needs to understand this. Give your Aries lover as much freedom as possible.
There is a short-term conflict with parents, parent figures, bosses or authorities – this probably has to do with your personal independence now. This will pass, but compromise is key now.
Singles find love opportunities in organizations and group activities from the 2nd to the 27th. Friends might want to be more than that. But friendship and a peer kind of relationship is important in love during this period.

Late last month the planetary power made an important shift form the upper to the lower half of your horoscope. This month the shift is increased further – 70 to 80 per cent of the planets will be below the horizon of your chart. Your career planet is still retrograde and will be retrograde for a few more months. So, it is time to focus more on the home and family. You are entering (astrologically speaking) the ‘night time’ of your year. Outer success continues to be important, but now it is time to feel good and to get into emotional harmony. This is a time to work on your career by the methods of night – through dreaming and visualization – rather than by overt, outer methods. This works out very well for you, as with your career planet retrograde not much is happening there, anyway. Most career issues will need time to resolve themselves.
The planets are also mostly in the East and this month, in their maximum eastern position. Your 7th house of love is strong, but nowhere near as powerful as your 1st house (70 per cent of the planets are either there or moving through there this month – a huge percentage!). So, your personal pleasure peak continues apace. You are enjoying all the pleasures of the flesh. Always independent, now you are even more so – and your challenge will be to avoid ‘running over’ others like a bulldozer. This is certainly a time to have things your way, and the cosmos is co-operating with you, but you can have your way without needless aggression or insensitivity. Now you have the power to create conditions as you desire them to be. You don’t need to adapt or to ‘people please’ – if others don’t go along with you, you can go it alone if need be. So create your own paradise now. Create wisely. Later, you will have to live with your creation and it won’t be so easy to change things.
Health, like last month, is super – and the same problem we saw last month is in effect now. Your problem is too much energy. It is up to you to channel this energy wisely towards constructive ends – not in daredevil stunts or violent, discordant behaviour. (Be especially careful of this from the 3rd to the 5th.) You can achieve any goal you set for yourself now.
When we said you were having your way, this was not an exaggeration. Everything is coming to you that you need or desire. Love pursues you; all you have to do is show up. Not only that, but your current love is going way out of his or her way to please you. The same is true in finances. Career might be on hold, but the financial picture is bright. Expensive personal items are coming to you – and your birthday ‘loot’ this year is far above that of previous years. On the 20th the Sun moves into your money house, initiating a yearly financial peak. You seem very lucky in speculations these days.
Your health planet went retrograde late last month (the 30th) and will be retrograde until the 23rd. Health is good, as mentioned, but avoid making drastic changes to your diet or health regime. Study things more. You will know the right thing to do after the 23rd.

Another very prosperous month. Some 50 per cent of the planets are either in or moving through your money house. Your yearly financial peak continues. Money seems to come from a variety or sources and in a variety of ways. You are, like last month, lucky in speculations. Your personal creativity is marketable and a big factor in earnings. You spend more now, but earn more as well. Partners, friends, your current love are very supportive. Social connections are profitable. (May 10–13 seems very profitable.) You might be spending on children, but they can also contribute to earnings – perhaps through motivating you or giving you ideas. You are spending on leisure activities, but can also earn through these things. And, with Mercury entering into your money house from the 16th onwards, you earn through good sales, marketing and good use of the media. Also this shows that, while you are very lucky this month, you are also earning the old-fashioned way, through hard work.
Perhaps the most important factor in your financial success these days is Mars, your ruling planet, entering your money house on the 11th. This shows your personal interest in financial matters. This interest drives your financial success – ‘where the heart is, there is your treasure.’
Like last month (and since late January) you are spending on yourself, dressing expensively, cultivating an image and persona of wealth. In some cases this is being done through metaphysical understanding – there is a conscious desire to draw wealth unto you – and taking on the image of wealth is a powerful way to do this. But in many cases this is showing that your personal appearance is a major factor in earnings – and so you need to dress expensively.
A foreign trip is likely on the 1st or the 2nd. The opportunity will certainly be there. You meet with a teacher – a mentor. In some cases this is a guru type. Important educational opportunities come. Students enjoy success in school. Speculations are fortunate during this period, too.
