Your Personal Horoscope 2016

With Pluto in your 10th house since 2008, career has been a strong focus. As we mentioned, there are many changes going on here – changes in your industry, changes in the hierarchy of your company, changes in governmental regulations that affect you. The rules of the game have been changing for many years. Many of you have actually changed the career path in the past few years – and it could still happen this year or in future years (Pluto is a slow-moving planet). The symbolism depicts ‘death and rebirth’. An old career, career path or career approach dies and is reborn in another form. Pluto in the 10th house tends to career success. It produces storms and crisis, but also a strong focus on the career. It is this intense, laser-like focus that brings success.

Your career planet, Saturn, is also making nice aspects to you. So, you’re comfortable with your career and seem to be enjoying it. Bosses seems kindly disposed to you – another big plus. Later in the year, Jupiter will start making nice aspects to your career planet and this will bring promotion and elevation. This happens from September 10 onwards.

Your willingness to travel plays a role in your career success.

Love and Social Life

This is really the main headline for the year. Your 7th house has been more or less dormant for many years. This year, from September onwards, it becomes powerful and happy.

Serious love has been complicated for many years. Uranus in the 1st house is not the best aspect for love. It is good for serial relationships but not for marriage. Perhaps you blamed your partners, but really the problem was with you. You have been very independent, self-willed and rebellious. You wanted (and still want) a lot of personal freedom, and this is difficult in a serious relationship. By definition a serious relationship is a limitation of personal freedom. You’ve had five years of personal freedom and now maybe it is time to settle down. What I see happening is that you’ll meet someone who makes you feel this way. Somehow you’ll be able to combine your need for freedom with a committed kind of relationship.

Wealth is always a romantic turn-on for you, and this year more so than normal. The person who fits the psychological profile of your love is someone educated and refined. Perhaps religious. A minister or professor – a mentor type – fits the bill. You have the aspects of someone who falls in love with a professor, guru or religious leader. Foreigners are unusually appealing too. And it wouldn’t surprise me if you met this person in a foreign country. Physical beauty is also a factor here.

However, there are other scenarios. You could meet this person at your church, synagogue, mosque or ashram – or through the introduction of fellow worshipers. You could also meet him or her at university or university functions. These venues are not only conducive for romance, but for social opportunities in general.

Jupiter is the planet of religion and philosophy – and in your chart he is even more like this, as he is the ruler of your 9th house. Thus aside from wealth, education and personal appearance, there is a need for philosophical compatibility with your lover. This doesn’t mean that you have to agree on every point, but you should be on the same page about things like the meaning of life and what is important in that life. Philosophical differences have sunk more relationships than has ever been reported. And, in your case, it is unusually important.

If you are already married (and we give you credit for holding things together) you can work through problems in the marriage by taking trips to foreign lands, by taking courses as a couple and by worshipping together as a couple. These things tend to harmonize the upper mental body.

Those of you working towards your second marriage also have wonderful love opportunities this year – only there’s no need to rush into anything. Let love develop slowly and naturally. Those working towards a third marriage have a static love year, but the social life in general will be active.

Whatever marriage you’re in, the social life expands this year. New and important friends are coming into the picture.

Self-improvement

Many of the trends we’ve written about in previous years are still in effect now. Long-term planets indicate long-term projects. These things are not achieved overnight.

Saturn in your 9th house – like last year – is testing your religious and philosophical beliefs. They get ‘reality checked’. This is not always a pleasant thing. We tend to be very attached to our beliefs, and when they are challenged we feel we are personally challenged. But the end result is good. Some beliefs might be right, but need some modification. Some could be wrong and need to be eliminated. The end result will be a more stable, more realistic belief system. And it will serve you well in years to come.

Your spiritual planet Neptune in your 12th house is also involved in the testing of your beliefs. Many of you are having actual spiritual experiences – supernatural kinds of experiences – and revelations through dreams and through teachers. These will challenge long-held beliefs about the nature of life and reality. Spiritual revelation and experiences could also cause career changes, or a change in the way you approach your career.

Neptune will spend a lot of time on an eclipse point this year, which indicates a lot of spiritual change in your life: change of practice, attitudes and perhaps even teachings and teachers. It shows much instability in a spiritual organization you’re involved with.

Uranus, still in your 1st house, shows that you need to get comfortable with change and apparent instability. As in previous years, your challenge is to make change your friend. Don’t resist it, flow with it. Change brings insecurity, but in the end it is good. Uranus is about breaking attachments – and we all have many. Attachment to a person, a job, a situation, a physical kind of appearance. These attachments hold us back. We should be happy when they’re broken.

Pluto in your 10th house shows more involvement with death and death issues. The cosmos is educating you about these things and they do need to be understood better. They do not need to be feared, but understood. When this happens, life goes better. Fear of death is perhaps the main obstruction to freedom and to our heartfelt goals.

Jupiter in your 6th house at the beginning of the year will show you the power of prayer in health issues. You respond well to this. Prayer changes the vibration of the body. It changes the mental attitude.

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.

March

Best Days Overall: 1, 2, 10, 11, 18, 19, 28, 29

Most Stressful Days Overall: 3, 4, 16, 17, 23, 24, 31

Best Days for Love: 6, 7, 16, 23, 24, 26, 27

Best Days for Money: 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 16, 21, 22, 26, 27, 31

Best Days for Career: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 18, 19, 28, 29, 31

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.
