Also, your spouse or current love, while very devoted to you personally, is not very supportive of your career, Perhaps they feel a bit jealous about this, and this will need some effort on your part to work out.
Uranus in your 11th house indicates much instability with friends. It shows many dramas in their personal lives and this could impact on your relationship. While you are socially successful this year, you find it difficult to make long-term social plans as you never know who is available when. Being comfortable with social change is one of the main lessons of the year and for years to come.

You begin your year on a happy note. Your benevolent 9th house is strong from the 20th onwards. Very unusually, all of the planets are moving forwards (until the 24th), bringing rapid progress and achievement. So this is a happy and successful month. You cover a lot of territory and do it well.
Your year begins with 70 per cent of the planets above the horizon. From the 18th onwards the percentage jumps to 80. You are in a very strong career period. Keep the focus on your outer goals. You can downplay home and family issues. You serve your family best, and attain emotional harmony, by being successful in the world. This is the time to attain to career goals through outer, overt, physical actions.
Most of the planets are in the social, Western sector of the Horoscope. This is soon to change but for now you are in a strong social cycle, where you develop your social and diplomatic skills and where you attain objectives through consensus and co-operation rather than through personal initiative. Uncomfortable conditions are more difficult to change right now; you have to adapt to them as best you can.
Your 8th house of transformation is very powerful until the 27th, which means this is a great period for losing weight, detoxing the body and getting rid of old and useless possessions. Clean up the house – not just the physical house but the mind and the emotions as well.
Health and energy are good this month, and will get even better after the 20th. Detox regimes go well as we mentioned, and especially between the 12th and 14th. You can enhance your health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report. This is also a sexually active month.
Mercury, the ruler of your Horoscope, squares Uranus from the 8th to the 10th, bringing a very dynamic aspect. Family members can be more temperamental. You should be more mindful on the physical plane, especially when driving or when handling dangerous objects.
Love is more challenging after the 20th but this is a short-term trend. Overall the love life looks good.
Venus travels with Neptune from the 12th to the 15th. You are getting spiritual messages either directly, through dreams and intuitions, or indirectly from psychics, channels, ministers, astrologers and the like about your career. The dream life is very active at this time too.

This month, the planetary power will shift from the Western Sector, where it has been for many months, to the East; 60 per cent (and sometimes 70 per cent) of the planets will be in the East. So you are entering a period of greater independence, greater personal power. You have greater power to create conditions as you like them and no longer have the need to adapt to things. You can have life on your terms. Hopefully you will not abuse this power – many people do. However, when the cycle for ‘paying karma’ comes – when the planets shift to the Western Sector again (in about six months’ time) – you will have to live with your creations, so build well. The main headline this month is your career. Half of the planets are either in or moving through your career house this month. This house is strong quantitatively and also qualitatively: two out of the three most important planets in your chart spend a lot of time there – the Sun and the ruler of your Horoscope. So you are in a period of great outward success. Pay rises, promotions, elevations (perhaps even honours) are happening now. If your career goals are ultra, ultra high you might not attain them this month, but you will see great progress happening there. Career is a life-long project – our life work – one month is not enough to attain these things. So long as we are making progress we can consider ourselves successful.
Family members are also outwardly successful and seem supportive of your career. You seem on very good terms with the authority figures in your life, your bosses, parents and elders. In fact, you yourself are an authority figure these days.
Health and energy are excellent until the 19th, after that you need to rest and relax more. Your career is busy and taxing, but without good health success is an empty shell. You are very busy this month, but you can delegate or outsource as much as possible. Focus on essentials and let lesser things go. People at the top – as you are this month (each on their own level) – are often targets for the venom and anger of those less blessed. This is another drain of energy. This is the price paid (one of them) for outward success. There are many ways to deal with this, but it is beyond the scope of this report.
Be more patient with children from the 8th to the 10th. Make sure they avoid dangerous and risky kinds of activities. They seem inclined to daredevil kinds of stunts.
Love seems happy this month and all year.

Retrograde activity increases this month. Mars went retrograde on January 24 and will be retrograde all of this month, and so friends seem to lack direction these days. (Make sure you do your homework before buying new high-tech equipment and software, too; some of the claims are not what they seem.) Saturn went retrograde on the 7th of last month and will be retrograde for many more months. (The spouse, partner or current love needs to be doing a financial review now.) Mercury – and this is the most important one for you – goes retrograde on the 12th. You’ve had a period of great success and now it is time to take stock of where you stand. You seem unsure of what happens next or where you want to go, and so a period of review is in order. You need to gain some mental clarity now. The home and family situation also needs a review.
Retrogrades, when understood and used properly, are the ‘pauses that refresh’. They are no more a ‘setback’ than a good night’s sleep. This is when you gather forces for the next leap of forward progress. The glitches and setbacks that seem to happen come because we are not co-operating with the cosmic intent.
Be especially careful in communicating with family members from the 12th onwards. Don’t take things for granted. Much of the family drama and hurt feelings that happen come from miscommunication and misunderstanding. A little more care in the beginning will save much heartache later on.
Career is still very strong in your Horoscope until the 20th. You are in the midst of a yearly career peak now. Much of what we wrote of last month still applies.
