of family members, and especially of parents or parent figures. Family members are more temperamental too.
Health is much improved over last month, and it will improve even further next month. In the meantime, enhance the health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report. Until the 11th do more hip massage; after the 11th you respond well to detox regimes. Safe sex and sexual moderation are also important after the 11th.
Love seems delicate until the 21st. You and the beloved are seeing things in opposite ways and seem distant with each other. This doesn’t necessarily mean a break up: there is just a need to bridge differences. Love will improve after the 21st. It becomes more erotic. Sexual magnetism seems the most important factor for singles. Even for those in a relationship, good sex will cover many sins.

You have a very eventful month ahead, Aries, but good. Saturn moves away from his stressful aspect with you on the 18th and will start making harmonious aspects. Jupiter will do the same on the 20th. And though you will still need to keep an eye on the health after the 21st, the stresses will be nowhere near the intensity of January, June/July or September/October. Until the 21st enhance the health with thigh massage. A herbal liver cleanse might also be a good idea. After the 21st enhance health through back and knee massage.
The sixth eclipse of the year occurs on the 14th. It is a solar eclipse which occurs in your 9th house, so avoid foreign travel over that period. If you must travel, try to schedule your stay around the eclipse. This eclipse affects children, children figures and college-level students. There are changes in educational plans – sometimes they change schools, sometimes they change courses, sometimes there are shakeups in the school – in the management or the rules. If you are involved in a legal issue there will be a dramatic turn one way or another. You are closer to resolution.
Perhaps more importantly, your religious, theological and philosophical beliefs get tested (this will go on well into next year). The eclipse brings a crisis of faith. Some beliefs will need to be modified; some will need to be discarded. These changes will impact your whole life. They are probably not pleasant when they happen, but ultimately they are good. Neptune, your spiritual planet, is affected by this eclipse (it is a more direct impact than last month’s eclipse). Thus there are spiritual changes – changes in practice, teachers and teachings. A spiritual ‘course correction’ is happening. A good thing. There are shakeups in charities and spiritual or altruistic organizations that you’re involved with, and there will be dramas in the lives of guru figures in your life.
On the 21st you enter a yearly career peak, although it won’t be as strong as your last one in January. You have probably attained many of your short-term goals. Career is still important, but now you are not so career driven in the way you have been for most of the year.
Jupiter and Saturn in your 11th house (Saturn entering on the 18th and Jupiter on the 20th) show that you are making new and significant friends, and that these friends are helpful in your career. You are mixing socially (not necessarily romantically) with important people.
Venus will be in your 8th house until the 15th. Thus you seem very involved in the finances of the spouse, partner or current love. He or she had a very good financial period last month, and it will still be good in the month ahead. There is good financial cooperation between you. This is also a good period to pay down debt or to borrow, depending your need.
In love sexual magnetism is still the prime factor. This will change after the 15th when there will be a need for more philosophical compatibility. Love and finance are good this month.
