Bosses, parents and authority figures in your life are having surgery or near-death kinds of experiences too. The company you work for can be having a near-death experience as well.
Love and Social Life
Your 7th house of love, romance and social activities is a house of power until July 26. Thus there is great focus here. Focus tends to bring success.
However, love is complicated this year. You’ve recently come through some very stressful love years in 2011 and 2012, perhaps even traumatic years. Many of you divorced. Relationships that survived those years will probably last forever. Although 2013 was a little easier in the love department, it was nothing special.
If you are just coming out of a divorce, you need some quiet time. There is no need to jump into a new relationship too quickly – though perhaps you want to. Uranus in your sign is not especially good for marriage or committed relationships. Uranus craves personal freedom. Too much personal freedom doesn’t go well with a committed relationship, which by definition is a ‘limitation’ of freedom. Those involved romantically with Aries need to understand this. Give them as much space as possible so long as it isn’t destructive.
You are very socially active until July 26. You tend to be aggressive and go after what you want. You are creating the social life that you want. You are popular and well liked and you go out of your way for others. This is good. But will this lead to marriage? Unlikely.
Love affairs, though, are very favourable this year – especially after July 16. However, these are more in the nature of entertainment than serious love. My advice is to enjoy them for what they are without projecting too many expectations on to them.
Those working on their first or second marriages are not likely to marry this year. They will date and have fun, but most likely will not marry. Those working on their third marriage, however, will have a serious love opportunity in the latter half of the year. September looks especially good for that.
With Venus, a fast-moving planet, as your love planet there will be many short-term trends in love that are better discussed in the monthly reports.
Parents or parent figures who are unattached have good romantic opportunities this year. It will be a good social year for them. Children of marriageable age have strong love opportunities in September. Those already married are having their marriages tested this year (this has been going on for a few years now). Single siblings (or sibling figures in the life) are not likely to marry this year. Married siblings (or sibling figures) will have their marriages tested late in the year – after December 24. Grandchildren of marriageable age are having a ‘status quo’ kind of year. Those who are married will tend to stay married; singles will tend to stay single.
Your favourable numbers for love are 3, 7 and 11.
Self-improvement
The planet Neptune is always radiating a refining, elevating, spiritualizing kind of force. But now that Neptune is in his own sign and house – Pisces and your 12th house – his power is greatly magnified. You are feeling this. Many of the things that appealed to you in the past have lost their appeal. Many of the things that you considered important are not that important any more. A new and more powerful energy is coming into you. If you are already on the spiritual path you are making greater progress now. You are having dramatic spiritual experiences and revelations. Your spiritual faculties – soul faculties – are opening up and becoming stronger. Those of you who are spiritual practitioners are much busier and more in demand than ever before. More and more people are interested in your work.
Those not yet on the spiritual path will most likely enter onto it this year or in future years. Neptune will be in Pisces for the next 11 or so years. The Cosmos has its way of bringing you into the fold. In some cases people have vivid Technicolor dreams that are real but don’t make sense to the rational mind. In some cases there is this vague feeling of dissatisfaction that pervades the worldly life. Though the person attains the things or goals that were thought to make them happy, they find that they are not happy. They have a feeling of disillusionment. Sometimes a problem child brings them into the fold. They are forced to examine things more deeply, to study things to find answers. Sometimes tragedy does it. It is different for each person.
When Neptune – the ruler of the highest heaven – is active, the things of this world seem tawdry and cheap – pale imitations of what is possible and doable – which is the cause for the inner dissatisfaction that many experience. Let this feeling be seen as a call to deeper and higher knowledge and not as an excuse to overindulge in alcohol or drugs.
Synchronistic experiences will increase these days. Those on the spiritual path will understand them completely, while those not on the path will scratch their heads. You’ll think of someone and they call you. You’ll feel your phone buzz in your pocket only you don’t have your phone in your pocket, but when you get home you’ll see that someone messaged you at the exact time that you felt the buzz!
Saturn is still in your 8th house of transformation and regeneration for practically all of the year ahead (until December 24). This shows a need to re-order the sex life and the use of the sexual energies. Better less sex but quality sex than many mediocre experiences.

January promises to be a hectic, fast paced but successful month. Last month you entered a yearly career peak and it is still underway in the month ahead. You are in the noon time of your year. This is a time to act on your career dreams and goals – to act in a physical kind of way. Plans made during the night time of your year are now ready to be implemented. Eighty per cent of the planets are moving forward this month, which is another indication of a fast paced, active kind of month.
Family is important to you – Jupiter has been in your 4th house of home and family for many months and will be there for many more months – but this is a time when you can (and should) shift your attention to your career and worldly goals. This is the best way to serve your family right now.
The main challenge this month is health. Hyperactivity can be overdone. Yes, act and succeed, but try to schedule more rest periods into your days, and perhaps a massage or two. Your health planet, Mercury, is ‘out of bounds’ from the 1st to the 8th. This indicates that you are going outside the norm in your health regime and your approach to health. It seems necessary. You need something new. When it comes to health you are ‘thinking outside the box’. This is true in your work as well. The demands of the job take you outside your normal boundaries.
This month enhance the health (until the 11th) by giving more attention to the spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment. Regular back and knee massage will be good, and give the knees more support when exercising. A visit to the chiropractor or osteopath is a good idea. After the 11th give more attention to the ankles and calves. These should be massaged regularly, and support the ankles more when you exercise.
Job seekers also need to ‘go out of bounds’ in their search for work, although they seem successful this month.
Venus, your love planet, is retrograde all month. And though you are active socially – and seem very popular – love needs time
