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 is not the best aspect for love. Like last month you will have to work harder to project warmth and love to others. You (or the people you attract) can be overly perfectionist in love, overly critical and analytical. This attitude will kill romantic moments and opportunities. It is good to want perfection in love – you deserve it – but you need to go about it in the right way, in a constructive way.

Love will be much happier when Venus moves into her own sign of Libra on the 16th. Here she is strong on your behalf. The social magnetism will be stronger than usual. You are in a more romantic mood. You attract more romantic kinds of people. A serious relationship is not indicated here – you are in a fun-loving mood – but the opportunities for it are there.

Until the 16th, money is earned the old-fashioned way, through work and practical service to others. After the 16th, the social dimension (always important for you) becomes even more important in finances. Social connections and your ability to get on with others improve the bottom line. Job seekers have good fortune this month. Your 6th house of work becomes powerful after the 22nd. Those who employ others will find suitable employees if they need them.

Health is good all month.

The planetary power makes an important shift this month. By the 22nd, the upper half of the Horoscope (the sector of career and outer activities) becomes stronger than the lower half (home, family and emotional issues). Dawn is breaking in your year. It is time to wake up and be about, time to work on your career and outer goals by the methods of day – through overt physical action. Family life will still be very important, but you can shift more attention to the career now. This is the best way to serve your family.

You are still very much in a creative, fun kind of period. But less so than last month. Work has been important since August 22. This is a time to be more productive at work, to handle all those boring, detail-oriented jobs like getting your accounts in order, proof-reading your letters or reports, getting your files in order – things of this nature. It is still a favourable time for job seekers and for those who employ others.

On the 22nd you enter your yearly social peak. Romance is on your mind. You are in the mood for it and opportunities are abundant. While a marriage is not likely, there are still happy romantic experiences and opportunities happening. In general, you are going out more, attending more parties and gatherings.

The month ahead seems hectic. You are trying to balance many, many conflicting interests: an active social life, the need for fun and entertainment, your spiritual life, home and career. You’ve got a full plate this month. Also it seems that you are involved in some major, complicated project – launching a new business or institution. These big projects always tend to be complicated. Thus, you need to rest and relax more and pay more attention to health. Until the 9th, health is enhanced by paying more attention to the small intestine. Right diet is still an issue for you. After the 9th, give more attention to the kidneys and hips. Regular hip massage will be wonderful. Discord in love or with friends can be a cause of health problems, so work to maintain harmony here. From the 29th onwards, give more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. Safe sex and sexual moderation is important then.

In spite of all the stress the month ahead seems prosperous. Your spouse, partner or current love is having a good month, both personally and financially. There is still a financial re-organization going on but this month things seem easier. He or she seems more financially supportive as well. Friends in general are more financially supportive. There is a nice payday happening on the 27th–28th as Venus makes fabulous aspects to Jupiter. This also brings a very happy romantic meeting or social opportunity.

Like last month the pace of life is frenetic, and you are working hard to balance many competing interests. Continue to rest and relax more; it is difficult right now but if you shift the rhythm of life a bit you can do it. Instead of go-go-go, make it go-go-rest. Often we can maximize energy by letting go of trivial things and focusing on the essentials. Like last month you can enhance the health by giving more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. Safe sex and sexual moderation continue to be important. The month ahead seems more sexually active than usual, but if you listen to your body (and not your mind) you will know when enough is enough. Mercury, your health planet, goes retrograde on the 21st, so avoid making major changes to the diet or health regime after that period. Health and vitality should improve after the 23rd.

Your spouse, partner or current love is in a yearly financial peak from the 23rd onwards. But still there are many dramatic financial changes going on – it seems to me they are for the better though.

The work load is frenetic this month, but after the 15th, as Mars enters your 6th house, you have a strong work ethic and you seem able to handle it. Job opportunities need more research after the 21st. Read all the fine print in contracts. Ask questions. Resolve any doubts. Happy career opportunities are happening after the 23rd. Children or children figures also have career success during this period.

You are still in a yearly social peak until the 23rd. After then, your 8th house of transformation becomes powerful. The interests shift to personal transformation and reinvention, past lives and life after death. On the financial level, you are focused on debt and taxes.

A Lunar Eclipse on the 18th is strong in its effect on you, so reduce your schedule. Like every Lunar Eclipse the home and family are affected. If there are hidden problems in the home (or with family members) they come out now so that they can be dealt with. This eclipse occurs in your own sign. Those born later in the sign of Aries – April 13–20 – seem most affected. There is a redefinition of your image and personality happening. You are going to present a ‘new you’ to the public. Students make important changes in educational plans. Legal issues start to move forward, either positively or negatively (but the aspects seem mostly positive now).

The Solar Eclipse on the 3rd is basically benign to you, but it won’t hurt to reduce your schedule anyway. It occurs in your 8th house of transformation, which often shows a need to deal with issues of death. Not necessarily personal physical death; sometimes it brings encounters with death or near-death kinds of experiences, and most of the time these encounters are on the psychological level. There is a need to overcome fears about it, to get a deeper understanding of it.

The eclipse also indicates more financial changes for the spouse, partner or current love. This has been going on all year, but now it is intensified. In general, though, this is a good financial month for this person. The Sun rules children generically. In your chart, as Lord of the 5th house, it is the actual ruler of children. So there are dramas, life-changing kinds of events, in the lives of the children (or children figures) in your life. These events need not necessarily be bad, but they are important and change your relationship with them. Those of you ready to give birth around this time (and many of you are) need to take care.

Health and energy are very good this month, and will get even better when the Sun moves into Sagittarius on the 22nd. You have all the energy you need to achieve your goals.

Love is happy but complicated this month. On the one hand, you are mixing with the high and mighty – people above you in status. You have a knack for meeting people socially who can help your career. Love is high on the agenda after the 5th and this focus leads to success. There are romantic opportunities with bosses and your superiors this month. The problem is that you seem too practical about love. It is more difficult to show your natural warmth to others. You seem slow and cautious about love and find it difficult to give your heart to another. Those involved with Aries romantically need to be more patient with them. From the 14th to the 16th Venus makes aspects to Pluto and Uranus, and this can shake things up a bit – a lover’s spat, a quarrel, or abrupt mood changes in love. This is short term and might even lead to good later on. The air gets cleared.

Finances are good this period. Bosses, elders, parents or parent figures are supportive financially. There could be pay rises (official or unofficial) happening. Sometimes the boss doesn’t give you an actual raise but instead arranges things so that you make more. You and your spouse, partner or current love seem in financial harmony and are cooperating with each other.
