On the whole though, the month ahead looks good. Venus will be travelling with Jupiter towards the end of the month (from the 27th to the 29th); this indicates a nice payday, a nice financial windfall or opportunity. For singles this shows a happy love meeting. For those who are married it indicates more romance with the present partner.

The planets are now at their maximum lowest position in the chart. You are in the ‘midnight hour’ of your year, which is considered a very ‘magical’ hour of the day. The old day is over with and a new day has begun – only it is not yet apparent to the senses. Midnight is not for outer kinds of activities but for the activities of the night: sleep, and the collecting of forces for the new day. This is the time to work on your outer goals by ‘interior’ methods – though dreaming, visualizing and entering into the ‘inner condition’ of what you want or where you want to be. This is the necessary prelude for attaining any goal. You are like a seed germinating in the ground. Mighty things are happening, only they cannot be seen. But when the daytime of your year comes around (in a few months’ time) they will be seen. The seedling will burst from the earth and flower in visible, tangible reality.
Early in the month the focus is on communication and intellectual interests. A good time to catch up on those letters, emails and phone calls you owe, and great for taking courses in subjects that interest you – for expanding your knowledge base and exercising the mind. But after the 21st, the Sun enters Cancer, your 4th house of home and family. Jupiter will enter here on the 27th too. Now is the time for focusing on the family.
This is a month for making psychological kinds of breakthroughs. You will tend to be more nostalgic this period, to reminisce more. Often people from your past come back into the life and jog the memory. You will have a greater interest in history as well; not just your personal history but history in general.
Though career is not that important right now, much career progress is happening. Your career planet, Saturn, is receiving beautiful aspects. There is much success – and perhaps promotion and pay rises – happening, only it will manifest later on. Your career planet is retrograde.
Neptune, your spiritual planet, is also receiving very beautiful aspects. So, for those on the spiritual path there are important breakthroughs happening, revelations from on high. Your intuition is super.
Health needs more watching after the 21st. As always, rest and relax more: avoid burning the candle at both ends. Enhance the health through a right diet and give more attention to the stomach. Women should give more attention to the breasts. Emotional health is very important this month. Avoid depression like the plague. Keep the moods peaceful and constructive.
Love and money are close to home. Family connections play an important role in both. Family seems very supportive these days. A parent figure enters a two-year cycle of prosperity.

Many of the trends we wrote of last month are still very much in effect. So review our discussion of last month.
Last month, on the 21st, the planetary power shifted from the East to the West. This month, on the 18th, Mars, your ruling planet, also shifts to the West. The social, Western sector is now dominant for the next five or six months. Hopefully, you have already made the personal changes that you needed to make. Hopefully, you have already created the conditions that you wanted to create. Now, it is time to live with your creation. If you have created wisely, it is a time to enjoy it. If you have made mistakes, well, now you experience the consequences of the mistakes. It’s not so easy as it was to have your way. Now you have to adapt to situations as best you can and cultivate your social skills. The good graces of others are the most vital thing right now, in finance, love and career.
Health still needs watching until the 23rd. We don’t see major problems here, but this is not your best health period. Energy is not up to its usual standard and thus you are more vulnerable to problems. Enhance the health in the ways mentioned last month. Your health planet Mercury is retrograde until the 21st, so avoid making major changes to the health regime without more research. Diet is important now, but study the matter thoroughly before making changes. Health and vitality will return after the 23rd.
Like last month career is not that important, but in spite of this many wonderful, behind-the-scenes things are happening. On the 8th your career planet starts to move forward, and thus there is more clarity about the career.
The spiritual life is also satisfying and successful. The spiritual faculties – ESP, intuition, etc. – are very much enhanced.
Mars travels with Jupiter from the 18th to the 24th, which is a very happy transit. A foreign trip is happening. Students have success in their studies or in getting into a good school or college. A nice financial windfall or opportunity comes, and people in authority look upon you with favour.
Love is happy this period. Singles are meeting people they can have fun with, rather than making serious commitments. Until the 23rd you seem to ‘leap before you look’ – you are a ‘love at first sight’ kind of person. But after that date you become more cautious (and rightfully so). Venus in Virgo from the 23rd onwards is not one of her favourite positions. She becomes too analytical – and romance is to do with the heart, not the head. You will have to exert more effort in showing love and warmth to others after the 23rd.

Last month on the 22nd you entered a yearly personal pleasure peak, which is still in effect for the rest of the month ahead. Enjoy. This is a time for exploring the joys of life, for leisure-type activities and recreation. Aries of childbearing age have been fertile since last month, and now even more so. Enjoy your life, but don’t get too carried away by ‘irrational exuberance’ – especially on the 1st and 2nd. Drive more carefully, try to avoid risky kinds of activities and watch the temper. If you read the newspapers on those days you’ll understand what we’re referring to.
The element of Water is still very strong this month, so be more mindful of other people’s feelings. Everyone is more sensitive these days.
This is a time of year when people like to travel abroad, but this doesn’t seem advisable this period. Try especially to avoid foreign travel from the 18th to the 25th. The journeys that are favourable now are ‘interior’ ones into your past or past lives; emotional and mental journeys rather than actual physical ones. Legal issues can take a surprising turn from the 18th to the 25th. Students make changes to educational plans this period.
Venus is still in Virgo until the 16th. This
