Neptune on the Mid-heaven makes you very idealistic about your career, as we mentioned. It also indicates a spiritual type of career for many of you. Those involved in a mundane worldly career (and there’s nothing wrong with this) might want to spend more time with charities and altruistic kinds of causes. It will not only give you much personal satisfaction, but will actually enhance your career and public image. Of course, you shouldn’t do this for personal benefit, but this will be the natural side effect.
In many case, spirituality itself will become the career. Spiritual development will be the mission (a valid one, by the way). Practices that seem solitary such as meditation, or breathing exercises, are really not solitary at all. They affect in a positive way everyone around you. Spiritual practice changes families, communities, and even the world.

You begin your year with most of the planets in the Western, social sector of your Horoscope. Relationships are important now. Your good (with the exception of romance) comes to you by the good graces of others and not so much because of your personal abilities or personal actions. Thus there is a need to cultivate the social skills and adapt more to situations. If conditions are not pleasant, make a note, and get ready to change them when you enter your period of personal independence. It is not yet time for forcing issues. Let others have their way, so long as it isn’t destructive.
The upper half of the Horoscope contains 70 and sometimes 80 per cent of the planets. So you are in a cycle where your career, your outer world objectives are dominant. You are focused here and thus success is more likely. We get what we focus on. Next month you will enter a yearly career peak and success will be even greater.
The planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward at the moment – 90 per cent of the planets are moving forward and on the 30th all of them will be forward. This is an excellent time to launch new projects or products into the world. The 11th to the 27th is especially favourable for these launches.
Your 8th and 9th houses are the most powerful this month. Until the 19th, the 8th house of transformation is strong. Thus it is good for detox regimes on all levels, physical, emotional, mental and financial. Your efforts at personal transformation – creating the person that you want to be – will also go better. After the 19th, as the Sun moves into your 9th house, it is good for religious and metaphysical-type breakthroughs, and for scheduling foreign trips. Students should do better in school too. If you are involved in legal issues, try to schedule them after the 19th.
Love is excellent all month, but especially after the 19th. This is a good period to schedule a wedding or other kind of party, and especially after the 30th.
Finances are reasonable this month; nothing special one way or the other. In general you should earn more from the 11th to the 27th. You have more financial energy and enthusiasm that period than either before or after.
Health is much improved over last month. The main danger is overindulgence. This can create weight problems. Enhance the health in the ways described in the yearly report.

Last month on the 19th you entered a mini love peak for the year. You have others coming later on, but this was one of them, and it continues until the 18th of this month. Most of you seem involved in some serious relationship, but if not, this is a period for meeting a special someone. Your love planet Jupiter was retrograde most of last month until the 30th. Now it is moving forward and so social confidence and judgement are good. Mental clarity on love issues is back, so it’s safe now to make important love decisions.
In most areas of life you need to compromise and adapt to others, but in love you are having things your way and on your terms. After the 5th be more patient with the beloved. You seem in some minor disagreement.
Until the 18th all the planets are moving forward. Thus you are in another good period for launching new projects or products into the world. The 10th to the 18th seem best. On the 18th (and you will begin to feel this earlier) you enter a yearly career peak. Career is active and successful and promotions now wouldn’t be a surprise. The 6th–7th, 11th–12th and the 19th–21st are especially successful. If you have issues with your boss or with the government, these are good times to deal with them.
Health and energy are wonderful until the 18th. After that, try to rest and relax more. With the career so active it will probably be difficult, but if you drop the trivia from your life you will find it easier. Enhance health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report and do whatever is possible to maintain high energy levels. Your health is basically good this year, but this is not one of your best periods.
The planetary power begins to shift from the West to the East, from the social sector to the personal sector, on the 18th. Thus you will start becoming more independent day by day. You will have the power to create what you desire in your life, to go your own way and to find your own happiness. Others will start to adapt to you.
Mars conjuncts your career planet Neptune from the 3rd to the 5th. A friend is very successful and supportive of you. Friends in general are opening career doors. Your high-tech expertise seems very important during this period.
Finances are strongest from the 11th to the 25th as the Moon is in her waxing phase, although finance doesn’t seem like a big deal this month. Status and prestige – being number one – seem more important.

Mercury, the Lord of your Horoscope, and a very important planet in your life, went retrograde on February 23 and will be retrograde until the 17th of this month. You are successful but seem to lack direction. This is a period for gaining mental clarity about your personal goals and family issues. Perhaps you are not sure of the kind of image you want to project, so take the time to do homework on these things. Clarity will come after the 17th.
You are definitely in charge in the romance department. You seem above the beloved, calling the shots. Often this creates problems. It is wonderful to have authority, but if it is abused there will be love problems. Friends might not take too kindly to this either. The beloved (and friends in general) are in conflict with their families and this is adding to the stress. The love and social life improves dramatically after the 20th and next month will be even better.
The Sun will be in Aries from the 20th onwards. This is considered the best starting energy of the year. Spring is when the plants start to grow and nature resurrects. In addition the planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward, especially after the 17th, so this is another great time to begin new ventures. The 20th to the 27th is the best time to begin things.
