Looking out for one’s self-interest and looking out for others’ interests are really two sides of a single coin. Neither has any intrinsic moral superiority. Your interest is no less nor more important than another’s. What we emphasize depends on the cosmic cycle we are in at any given time. You have just come out of a cycle of needing to put others first. Last month, the planets shifted from the Western sector of others to the Eastern sector of self. Now you are more independent (which is very comfortable for Aries). It is right and proper now, and for the next five or so months, to keep a keen eye on your own interests and to pursue them. It will be easier now to make changes in your life, to create conditions as you desire them to be. With 90 per cent of the planets moving forwards this month you should see fast progress towards your goal. Time to have things your way Aries!
Last month you entered one of your yearly career peaks, and this continues until the 20th. Most of the planets are above the horizon of your Horoscope – and this too fosters career activities. Most likely you will not achieve all your career goals in their fullness (these take time and development), but you will see good progress towards them and this counts as success. You will be closer to your goals than you were in the past few months.
You will probably not be travelling as much this year as usual. Necessary travel is OK, but frivolous travel is probably not. Your chart emphasizes travel related to your career. But even so, avoid long journeys between the 1st and the 3rd (if possible).
On the 20th your focus shifts to friends, groups, group activities and organizations. This is not only fun for its own sake but seems to help the bottom line as well. Singles will find romantic opportunities in these venues as well.
Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, enters your 12th house of spirituality on January 12. Moreover, he travels with Neptune, your planet of spirituality, from the 16th to the 20th. Thus you seem to be meeting a guru or spiritual mentor. This could be someone you already know or someone new. This is indicated as a period for spiritual breakthroughs.
Rest and relax more until the 20th.

Your love and financial planet, Venus, is travelling with Neptune early in the month. It began late last month on the 30th and continues until the 3rd. This shows good financial intuition. Pay attention to hunches during this period. Take note of dreams. Spiritual people – gurus, ministers, psychics and astrologers – have important financial information for you. If you have financial doubts or need guidance you can consult with these kinds of people. Venus will be in your 12th house until the 20th, so these trends continue.
Love too is very spiritual and idealistic this month. Venus’s conjunction with Neptune shows a romantic or social meeting with a spiritual type of person. The person could also be a musician, poet, dancer or photographer – a very creative type. Love opportunities happen in spiritual-type settings during most of the month, at the yoga studio, the meditation seminar, prayer circle or at a charity event.
This is a very nice period for both love and money. Venus is in her most exalted position in Pisces. Thus she is more powerful than usual. Your earning power and social magnetism are much stronger.
Idealism is a wonderful thing in love and finance. We should shoot for the ideal in life. But keep both feet on the ground in these matters. Focus on your ideal, but don’t neglect the practical issues.
The beloved is more sensitive these days – friends as well. Be very careful of what you say and how you say it. They can take umbrage over your tone of voice or your body language. Little things – unintentional things – can set them off.
Love comes to you this month, especially from the 20th onwards. There is no need for you to do anything special, it will find you. The same is true with money. Money and financial opportunity will seek you out after the 20th. All you have to do is to show up.
Mars and Venus travel together from the 20th to the 24th. Romance is definitely in the air. This is a classic signal for love.
Your spiritual interests seem to conflict with the career, and perhaps with people involved in your career. These people don’t seem too receptive. It will take a nice balancing act on your part to handle this.

The planetary power is in its maximum Eastern position this month, and you are in your period of maximum independence and personal power. Make those changes that need to be made. Create your life as you want it to be. Look out for number one. Others will more or less co-operate now. Most of the planets are moving forwards and personal progress and life in general moves swiftly.
There is a very strong solar eclipse on March 20. It occurs just near your Ascendant, on the cusp of your 12th and 1st houses. All of you will feel the effects of this but those of you born early in the sign of Aries – between March 21 and March 23 – will feel them the strongest. Make sure you reduce your schedule during this period and for a few days before and after. Avoid stressful, risk-taking activities and spend some quiet time at home. Read a good book or watch a movie, or even better, meditate.
This solar eclipse indicates a redefinition of your personality. You are changing the way you think of yourself and the way that you want others to see you. Over the next six months you will change your look, your wardrobe, hair style, etc. Generally this is forced on you: if you don’t redefine yourself, others will. Sometimes, if a person has not been careful with their diet, it brings a detox of the body. Every solar eclipse impacts on children and children figures in the life and they should be kept out of harm’s way during this period. Generally it brings dramas – life-changing kinds of events – to their lives.
Health and energy are basically good this month. The problem can be too much of a good thing – you have too much energy. You are hyper-active and perhaps overly hasty. This can lead to injury. Be especially careful during the eclipse period, and from the 9th to the 12th. Avoid daredevil stunts and activities.
Until the 17th the trends of love and finance are pretty much as we described last month. Love and money come to you. You spend on yourself. Your personal appearance and overall demeanour is a big factor in generating earnings, and you spend freely and impulsively. And perhaps you are prone to jump into relationships impulsively too.
Things calm down after the 17th as Venus moves into stable, conservative Taurus. Your social and financial judgement will be much better in this period. Since Taurus is your money house, you are in a prosperous period. Love opportunities come as you pursue your financial goals and with people who are involved in your finances.

The love life has been very active and happy of late and things have gone rather easily. Many of you entered into new relationships. Now, a lunar eclipse on the 4th will test these things. A good relationship will weather the storm. However, old laundry – repressed feelings and grievances – will be thrown up and need to be dealt with. The beloved is more temperamental this period, so be more patient. It helps when you understand what is really going on.
This eclipse, like last month’s solar eclipse, affects you strongly, so take a nice easy schedule for a few days before and after it. Generally, the cosmos will send a message that the eclipse period has begun. The message will be personal. Perhaps you read of some odd happening in the newspapers or media. Or, some quirky kind of event happens to you.
Friendships will also get tested by this eclipse. Sometimes it is the actual relationship that gets tested, sometimes the eclipse brings life-changing dramas in the lives of friends and this shakes things up.
Every lunar eclipse affects the family and home and this one is no different. If there are flaws in the home, now is when you find out about them so you can correct them. Family members will be more temperamental too – so be more patient.
In spite of all the excitement, many nice things are happening for you. On the 20th the Sun enters your money house and you begin a yearly financial peak. The money house is very powerful this month, so prosperity is good. We mentioned that essential travel is called for this year, but try to schedule these trips before the 20th.
Health is also basically good. You have plenty of energy to achieve whatever you want to do. You are very dynamic and charismatic these days – especially until the 20th.
Children or children figures should be kept out of harm’s way from the 4th to the 7th. They should avoid taking risks or doing silly stunts.
