      You begin your year in a yearly career peak. The power of your 10th house of career is really the main headline of the month. Half of the planets are either in or moving through the 10th house this month. (At least 70 and often 80 per cent of the planets are above the horizon as well.) This is a month for career success. Much progress is being made; pay rises, promotions and more recognition for your professional abilities are happening. (Sometimes a pay rise is covert rather than official, but management does things that increase your income – often through perks or other moves.)

      With the planetary momentum forward this month, you should see faster progress to your career and other goals. Normally, strong forward planetary motion would make this an excellent period for starting new projects or launching new products. But in your case it is best to wait until after your birthday.

      Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, has been in your 7th house since November 13 of last year. So you have been very active socially – and quite popular. You’ve been there for your friends and beloved. You’ve put their interests first. But this is starting to taper off this month. The planetary power started to shift to the Eastern sector last month and this month on the 24th the shift gets even stronger. On the 4th Mars leaves your 7th house and enters the 8th house of transformation and regeneration. Your social goals are more or less achieved. You have been ‘people pleasing’ for a quite a while and now it is time to think of number one. Self-interest is often confused with selfishness. It is considered something ‘evil’. But sometimes the best way we can help others or be useful to others, is to achieve our personal goals – to be personally happy. Your interests are no less important than other people’s. You’re in a cycle where you need to focus more on yourself. You have great personal power (and it will grow in coming months). You have the power to create your own happiness – to create conditions in your life that please you. It’s up to you to use it, and to use it properly. It is time to be more independent and self-reliant.

      Though this social life is tapering off, the month ahead looks socially active. The Moon will spend five days in your 7th house this month (usually she spends only two there), indicating there is more socializing from home and with the family. On the 24th the love planet Venus enters your 10th house, showing more socializing with people of high status and prestige. Your social skills enhance your career.

      Health needs watching until the 20th. Be sure to get enough rest.

      February

      Best Days Overall: 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 20, 21

      Most Stressful Days Overall: 5, 6, 18, 19, 25, 26

      Best Days for Love: 5, 6, 13, 14, 25, 26

      Best Days for Career: 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 12, 20, 21

      Health and energy are much improved this month. You can enhance them further by giving more attention to the spine, knees, teeth and bones until the 14th. Back and knee massage and regular visits to a chiropractor or osteopath will be beneficial. After the 14th give more attention to the ankles and calves. Regular massage will do wonders. You will also benefit from new, cutting edge therapies after this date.

      Career is still good, although not as active as the past two months. Pay rises are still likely (if they haven’t happened yet). Bosses, elders and parent figures are sympathetic to your financial goals. Your financial judgement is sound as well. You get good value for your money and aren’t likely to overpay for things. You have a good long-term, conservative perspective on wealth (something Aries needs desperately). The 5th to the 8th are good days for paying down debt. But if you need to borrow, this period is good for that too. Your financial planet makes beautiful aspects to Jupiter from the 9th to the 11th and this brings a nice payday. There is financial good luck.

      Mars has been in your 8th house since January 4 and will remain there for the rest of the month ahead. This is a sexually active kind of month. Whatever your age or stage in life, the libido is stronger than usual. The important thing is not to overdo it. Mars in your 8th house is an excellent aspect for detox regimes and weight loss programmes – if you need them. You seem unusually active in the financial affairs of your spouse, partner or current love.

      The love life seems happy this month too. From the 5th to the 8th there is great passion with the beloved. Singles have sexual opportunity. From the 9th to the 11th there are happy romantic and social opportunities and singles can meet someone special during that period. Those already in a relationship have more romance in their relationship. On the 17th Venus enters your 11th house of friends and group activities. Singles find love opportunities in the online world, on online dating or social media sites. This is a good time to get involved in group activities or organizations too.

      Be more patient with children or children figures in your life from the 4th to the 6th. You don’t seem in synch. Children and children figures have excellent romantic and social aspects this month.

      The planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward this month. On the 20th the Sun moves into your sign, Aries, the best starting energy of the zodiac. Many of you, especially if your birthday is from March 20 to March 31, are in an excellent period for starting new projects or launching new products. After your birthday is best.

      The month ahead will be eventful. Two eclipses ensure this. Of the two, the lunar eclipse of the 23rd affects you most strongly – especially those of you born between the 20th and the 25th. Take it nice and easy. Spend more quiet time at home. Read a good book or watch a nice movie. There is no need to be your Aries daredevil self during this period.

      The solar eclipse of the 9th (in America it happens on the 8th) occurs in your 12th house. This indicates changes in spiritual practices and attitudes. Since you’re in a very spiritual kind of month until the 20th, these changes most likely come from new revelations that happen. This eclipse also shows upheavals – disturbances – and life-changing kinds of events in spiritual or charitable organizations you’re involved with. There are dramas in the lives of guru figures too. Every solar eclipse affects your children or the children figures in your life. They should stay out of harm’s way during this period and take life more easy. Life-changing kinds of events are happening with them and although they will turn out well, while they happen things can be frenetic.

      The lunar eclipse of the 23rd occurs in your 7th house of love. This will test your current relationship. Be more patient with the beloved during this period as he or she is apt to be more temperamental than usual. Sometimes this is because of personal dramas in their own lives, sometimes it is just the cosmic energy. Good relationships survive these things and get even better. But flawed ones can be in trouble. Every lunar eclipse affects the home and family and this one is no different. Be more patient with family members too. Often there are dramas in the home – sudden repairs, or changes that need to be made. If you’ve got mice or other ‘underworld critters’ in the home, this is when you usually find out about them. There can be dramas in the lives of family members.

      Health is good this month. Until the 5th you can enhance it through
