situation will be where you want it and you can focus on your external career.
Your financial planet is in the speculative Sign of Leo until the 20th. There are some very positive things about this: you earn money in happy ways, speculations tend to be favourable and you have a sense of financial optimism and confidence. You spend freely, and the danger here is overspending. But this will change after the 20th as Venus, the financial planet, moves into Virgo. Then you become more cost conscious and will tend to get value for your money.
Love is happy, but not very serious, until the 22nd. You basically want a good time and will tend to attract people who feel this way as well. But after the 22nd, you enter a yearly social peak and more serious romance is likely for singles.

The planetary shift that we discussed last month becomes very dramatic this month. By the end of the month, 80 to 90 per cent of the planets will be in the upper half of your chart. Day is dawning in your year. Time to use all the energy you acquired during the night for productive purposes. Career is becoming the main focus now for the rest of the year ahead. Push forward boldly towards your goals. You can safely let family issues slide (especially after the 16th) and focus on your career.
The main headline this month is love and social life. Your 7th House of Love and Marriage is where the planetary action is. But it is a kind of bittersweet experience. Singles are meeting new people; there is much going out; but Saturn’s move into the 7th House on the 29th initiates a period where your new relationships will get tested. From the cosmic point of view it is not enough just to meet new friends and love partners: they need to be found worthy. Until the 15th restrain your tendencies to carp, criticize and nit-pick. Sure, you are entitled to perfect love, but criticism—especially of the destructive kind—will not bring it to you. Try to focus on quality relationships rather than on the mediocre ones.
An office romance is developing.
Saturn, your career planet, makes a major move from Virgo into Libra at the end of the month. This shows career changes, and a different attitude to your career. For two and a half years you succeeded the hard way, through hard work and sheer merit. There was nothing wrong with this, but now you need to develop your social skills too. It is not enough that you are good at your job—people need to like you. Those of you who are in managerial positions will advance more on the ‘likeability’ factor than on the merit factor. This transit also shows that you can advance your career by social means—by attending and hosting the right parties and making the right friends.
Health is more delicate now and you need to pay more attention here for the rest of the year (and for the next two years). Pay special attention until the 23rd. Enhance your health by paying more attention to the intestines (and the diet) until the 10th, and to the kidneys and hips after this date. Disharmonies in love can affect the physical health now, so work to keep the harmony in your marriage and with your friends.
Retrograde activity is lessening dramatically this month. By the 18th, 80 per cent of the planets will be moving forward. The pace of life and change accelerates.

The forward momentum of the planets increases even more this month. When Neptune starts moving forward on the 4th, 90 per cent of the planets will be moving forward. You should see quick progress towards your goals. You also have greater confidence in most areas of your life.
Love is romantic and idealistic until the 8th. But afterwards it is less about romance and more about sexual attraction—physical chemistry. For those of you of appropriate age this is a sexually active kind of month. (Even older Aries will have more libido than usual.) There is still an office type of romance happening for you. (The opportunity is there for sure.)
In love you seem to be different people all occupying the same body these days. One part of you is romantic and idealistic and wants only ‘the feeling of love’. Another part of you only cares about the physical chemistry. And still another part of you seems of a ‘practical bent’—the good provider, the person who can advance your career, the power person: this is what allures. If you can find all these qualities in one person, you have the ideal now.
With your 8th House very powerful this month, the period is good for detox regimes, both physical and emotional. It is a time where you have more power to reinvent yourself—to give birth to the person you want to be. It is a very good time now to make an inventory of your possessions and get rid of what you don’t need. It is a time to clean house—physically, emotionally and materially.
Your spouse or partner is prospering this month and will be more generous with you. In general (especially after the 8th) this is a time to prosper by prospering other people, by putting their financial interests ahead of your own. As you succeed at this your own prosperity will happen very naturally. This is also a good month to access outside sources of capital, either through borrowing or through attracting investors or backers. The credit line should increase now.
Health improves after the 22nd but still needs watching. Enhance your health by giving more attention to the heart (all month) the colon, bladder and sexual organs (until the 16th) and the liver and thighs (after the 16th). Safe sex (and sexual moderation) is important until the 16th. Regular thigh massage is good after the 16th.

The forward momentum of the planets is even stronger than last month. Until the 20th ALL the planets are moving forward (highly unusual); even afterwards, the percentage is still high—90 per cent moving forward. So the pace of life is quick and progress is rapid. For you the only challenge is deciding on what you really want. The Retrograde of Mars (from the 20th onwards) is stronger on you than on most people—it is the Lord of your Horoscope. You seem directionless on a personal level, but success is still happening. On the 21st the Sun enters your 10th House initiating a yearly career peak. Many other beneficial planets are crossing your Midheaven as well—Mercury on the 5th and Venus on the 25th. There are pay rises and promotions in store. This can be with your present company or with another. You are in demand now.
Push forward boldly towards your career goals—reach for the stars now. Let family and emotional issues go for a while. Career opportunities are coming in many
