Finance

Aries people often excel as builders or estate agents. Money in and of itself is not as important as are other things – action, adventure, sport, etc. They are motivated by the need to support and be well-thought-of by their partners. Money as a way of attaining pleasure is another important motivation. Aries function best in their own businesses or as managers of their own departments within a large business or corporation. The fewer orders they have to take from higher up, the better. They also function better out in the field rather than behind a desk.

Aries people are hard workers with a lot of endurance; they can earn large sums of money due to the strength of their sheer physical energy.

Venus is their money planet, which means that Aries need to develop more of the social graces in order to realize their full earning potential. Just getting the job done – which is what an Aries excels at – is not enough to create financial success. The co-operation of others needs to be attained. Customers, clients and co-workers need to be made to feel comfortable; many people need to be treated properly in order for success to happen. When Aries people develop these abilities – or hire someone to do this for them – their financial potential is unlimited.

Career and Public Image

One would think that a pioneering type would want to break with the social and political conventions of society. But this is not so with the Aries-born. They are pioneers within conventional limits, in the sense that they like to start their own businesses within an established industry.

Capricorn is on the 10th house (career) cusp of Aries’ solar horoscope. Saturn is the planet that rules their life’s work and professional aspirations. This tells us some interesting things about the Aries character. First off, it shows that, in order for Aries people to reach their full career potential, they need to develop some qualities that are a bit alien to their basic nature: They need to become better administrators and organizers; they need to be able to handle details better and to take a long-range view of their projects and their careers in general. No one can beat an Aries when it comes to achieving short-range objectives, but a career is long term, built over time. You cannot take a ‘quickie’ approach to it.

Some Aries people find it difficult to stick with a project until the end. Since they get bored quickly and are in constant pursuit of new adventures, they prefer to pass an old project or task on to somebody else in order to start something new. Those Aries who learn how to put off the search for something new until the old is completed will achieve great success in their careers and professional lives.

In general, Aries people like society to judge them on their own merits, on their real and actual achievements. A reputation acquired by ‘hype’ feels false to them.

Love and Relationships

In marriage and partnerships Aries like those who are more passive, gentle, tactful and diplomatic – people who have the social grace and skills they sometimes lack. Our partners always represent a hidden part of ourselves – a self that we cannot express personally.

An Aries tends to go after what he or she likes aggressively. The tendency is to jump into relationships and marriages. This is especially true if Venus is in Aries as well as the Sun. If an Aries likes you, he or she will have a hard time taking no for an answer; many attempts will be made to sweep you off your feet.

Though Aries can be exasperating in relationships – especially if they are not understood by their partners – they are never consciously or wilfully cruel or malicious. It is just that they are so independent and sure of themselves that they find it almost impossible to see somebody else’s viewpoint or position. This is why an Aries needs as a partner someone with lots of social grace.

On the plus side, an Aries is honest, someone you can lean on, someone with whom you will always know where you stand. What he or she lacks in diplomacy is made up for in integrity.

Home and Domestic Life

An Aries is of course the ruler at home – the Boss. The male will tend to delegate domestic matters to the female. The female Aries will want to rule the roost. Both tend to be handy round the house. Both like large families and both believe in the sanctity and importance of the family. An Aries is a good family person, although he or she does not especially like being at home a lot, preferring instead to be roaming about.

Considering that they are by nature so combative and wilful, Aries people can be surprisingly soft, gentle and even vulnerable with their children and partners. The sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is on the cusp of their solar 4th house (home and family). When the Moon is well aspected – under favourable influences – in the birth chart an Aries will be tender towards the family and want a family life that is nurturing and supportive. Aries likes to come home after a hard day on the battlefield of life to the understanding arms of their partner and the unconditional love and support of their family. An Aries feels that there is enough ‘war’ out in the world – and he or she enjoys participating in that. But when Aries comes home, comfort and nurturing are what’s needed.

Horoscope for 2011
Major Trends

Last year was a very powerful spiritual year, Aries – perhaps one of the strongest in your life. It was a year of inner growth, a year for gaining spiritual insight and understanding. Your spiritual interests and growth will continue in the year ahead. Though Jupiter and Uranus are exiting your 12th house, Neptune is moving in (on April 4). Though Neptune will merely flirt with your 12th house in 2011, next year it will move in for good – for the next 14 years or so.

Two very important planets move into your own sign this year – highly unusual. These are Jupiter and Uranus. Uranus has not been in Aries for 85 years (approximately), and Jupiter was last in your sign 12 years ago (though it briefly flirted with your sign last year). These movements are announcing major (and happy) change. You seem ready for this now. The status quo is just not interesting any more. You want to explore your personal freedom (and you will – and for many years to come).

This need for personal freedom doesn’t bode well for a current relationship or marriage. Saturn in your 7th house of love and marriage has been testing love for the past year, and will continue to test it this year. But more important, you want to make a fresh start in your life. You want the new in everything – and that includes relationships.

Pluto has been in your 10th house of career for two-anda-half years now and will be there for the year ahead. Your career is being detoxed, purified, transformed. The object here is not punishment, only purification. When the negative concepts or ideas go, the career of your dreams will manifest.

Prosperity was good last year, but now, beginning January 22 as Jupiter enters your sign, it gets even better. Good fortune seeks you and finds you – you almost can’t avoid it. There is luck in speculations, more foreign travel, and much living of the good life. With Jupiter it doesn’t seem to matter how much cash you have in your bank or investment accounts – when a person is under Jupiter’s rays, the person lives ‘as if’ he or she were rich. And somehow the universe makes these things happen.

Students have very good fortune with colleges, universities and graduate schools. In fact, dream educational opportunities will seek you out rather than vice versa.

Your most important interests this year are the body, the image, personal pleasures; finance (after June 4); love, romance and social activities; career; spirituality.

Your paths of greatest fulfilment this year are spirituality (until January 22); the body, image and personal pleasures (from January 22 to June 4); finance (from June 4 onwards); career (until March 4); religion, philosophy, higher education and foreign travel (from March 4 onwards).

Health

(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference: these perspectives were identical. But these days, there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)

Two powerful long-term planets have been stressing you out for the past two years or so – Saturn and Pluto. Thus your overall energy (usually superabundant) has not been up to its usual standards. These planets are still in stressful aspect in the year ahead. So you need to watch your energy, pace yourself, and focus on the things that are really essential to you.

The main danger here is that your 6th house of health is empty. Thus, you might not be paying enough attention to your health. Your tendency would be to ignore things. So you need to force yourself to focus on health even though you don’t feel like it.

You can do much to enhance your health by paying more attention to your head, face, scalp, heart, lungs, small intestine, arms and shoulders. Regular head and face massage always does wonders for you, but especially this year. Likewise the arms and shoulders.

Do your best to eliminate the twin devils, worry and anxiety, from your life. Some of you might benefit from medication for these things. A better way, however, is inner work – prayer and meditation. Medication relieves symptoms (and this is a great thing) but inner work will strike at the root cause of the worry.

Your health planet, Mercury, is a fast-moving planet. During the year he will move through all the various signs and houses of your horoscope. So, your health needs – and the therapies that are powerful for you – tend to change very rapidly. These short-term trends are discussed in the monthly reports.

Jupiter in your own sign brings a lot of fun, pleasure and prosperity, but from a health perspective it does have a downside. Too much of a good thing is the problem.

Uranus in your own sign brings personal freedom. For those of you involved in athletics, it brings enhanced athletic performance. It also indicates a desire to test the physical limits of the body.

Home and Family

Your 4th house of home and family is not a ‘house of power’ this year. This tends to indicate the status quo. However, there is a solar eclipse in your 4th house on July 1. Also there are two lunar eclipses this year. (The Moon is your family planet, and so this extra eclipse is significant.) Thus there could be repairs in the home – major ones – and family upheavals. But these seem like short-term things.

The main headline is Uranus’ move into your own sign on March 12. This brings the ‘nomadic spirit’. There is a need for constant change. And while you might not actually change your residence, you are likely to live in many different places for long periods of time. Visiting so-and-so for a while, staying in a motel for a while – these sorts of things.

Your spouse, partner or current love wants to make drastic renovations to the home – though you seem neutral about this. (The eclipses could force the issue.) He or she is also experiencing family upheavals, near-death (or perhaps even actual death) experiences of family members. He or she seems to be supporting family members – parents or parent figures. This emotional stress is not helping your relationship.

Finance and Career

Finance, as mentioned, is going to be a great focus in the year ahead – especially after June 4. Apart from this, you have all the classic indicators of prosperity and good fortune. Jupiter, the planet of wealth and abundance, moves through your own sign from January 22 to June 4. After that he moves into your money house, expanding earnings and making things that you already own worth more. Enjoy.

Many of you have felt in a rut for many years – in a grind, a routine, going nowhere. This is changing in the year ahead. Uranus is moving into your sign for the long term. You are breaking free. By the time Uranus is finished with you, you will be in radically different personal circumstances than you are now.

As mentioned, when Jupiter moves into your sign you will be living the grand lifestyle. (Keep in mind that this grand lifestyle is a relative thing – it will be grand according to your position in life.) Regardless of what you have in your pocket or bank account, you will be living ‘as if’ you were rich. You are a free spender in the year ahead – an impulse shopper and investor. Also you are more speculative and risk-taking than usual. Most of the time these risks will work out, as you are lucky this year – but you need to be a bit more restrained about this, as you can tend to overdo it.

There is more travel in your life this year – both foreign and domestic. Many of you will be living out of your suitcases.

Early in the year (until June 4) you spend on yourself. You are cultivating the image of wealth – dressing expensively, etc. Your personal appearance is a big factor in earnings.

There are job and career opportunities in foreign lands. Investors will find interesting and profitable investment opportunities in foreign lands as well. Foreigners or foreign companies can be important in your financial life.

Jupiter is the planet of religion, philosophy and higher education. So, many of you will have interesting educational opportunities that further your career. On a deeper level, Jupiter is the ‘law giver’ of the cosmos. When you are under his rays, the ‘law’ of a thing – of wealth, of success – is revealed to you. And when you follow this law, success just happens. So this is a year where the laws of wealth and success – or personal expansion – are given unto you. With these laws you will always be able to produce the wealth that you want.

Career is volatile these days. On the one hand you are gifted with a great focus that fosters success. But there is also great turmoil going on. The industry you are in is changing dramatically. A solar eclipse early in the year (January 4) is signalling career change.

Love and Social Life

This area has been difficult for the past year or so, and this trend continues in the year ahead. Marriage (especially if it is the first one) is being tested and, in truth, it is doubtful whether it can survive. (This applies to business partnerships as well.) Fundamentally sound relationships can survive, but it will take a lot of work and total commitment to keep things going.

Part of the problem is Saturn’s position in your 7th house of marriage and partnership. This is showing a coldness in the relationship. Everyone is doing their ‘job’, but it all seems ‘mechanical’. The spark of romance, of warmth, of feeling, needs to be lit. It will take some creativity on your part to do this.

Singles (those working towards their first marriage) should probably not marry this year. Probably you are dating less than usual, and this is OK. The cosmos is calling on you to focus on quality rather than quantity. Your taste gravitates to older, more established people. You like people of power and authority. The only problem with this is that these people tend to be controlling, and this is not something you can handle this year. You have a passion for personal freedom these days.

Singles find love opportunities as they pursue their career goals, or with people involved in their career.

Those working towards their second, third or fourth marriage have beautiful aspects this year and a marriage could easily happen – a marriage or a relationship that is ‘like’ a marriage. The beauty of these aspects is that there is nothing special you need to do – this new love is coming to you, seeking you out, and will find you. This person seems very devoted to you as well.

Friendships also seem happy in the year ahead. New and important friends are coming into your life – especially after March 12. They are devoted to you. You will be more involved with groups, organizations and group activities. Friendship seems just as important to you as romance.

Self-improvement

Spirituality has been important in your life for many years, and this trend continues in the year ahead. For the past seven years you have got deeper into the ‘science’ of spirituality. You needed (and found) a scientific basis for your beliefs and practice, but now this phase is over with and you are into ‘applying’ what you know. Now it is all about ‘direct experience’ with the spiritual world. You should keep a journal of your dreams and experiences.

As mentioned, Uranus is making a major move into your sign on March 12. This has many wonderful points – you are entering an era of personal freedom, breaking out of ruts and tedious routines. There is much change and excitement in your life. But this aspect can make people blindly rebellious, and this can create all sorts of problems. There is a positive way to ‘rebel’ – that is, by creating or living by a superior set of values than the status quo. But rebellion for the sake of it tends to be destructive. Not all authority or tradition is evil. Try to be more discerning about what you rebel against.

Saturn is in your 7th house of love, marriage and social activities. Thus your marriage (and many friendships) are getting tested. Your task is to keep the unpleasantness to the bare minimum. If a relationship is dissolving, you have a choice: you can maximize the negativity or minimize it. Choose to minimize. One can part as friends or as enemies. The choice is always yours.

With Saturn in the 7th house there tends to be disappointments with friends or lovers. Relationships get ‘reality checked’. Your challenge is to learn forgiveness and move on. Forgiveness doesn’t mean that we whitewash the negative or hurtful actions of others. The actions were wrong, but the people acted out of internal pressures that forced them to behave as they did. You will know that you have succeeded when you are able to think of the person who disappointed you with inner peace, calm and harmony. If you can’t, you have to work on more forgiveness.

An exciting, eventful but very hectic month. You need all your energy to deal with career responsibilities, so let lesser things go. Try to rest and relax more, too – especially until the 20th.

Until January 22 ALL the planets (with the exception of the Moon) are above the horizon of your chart. There will be times (from the 1st to the 9th) where 100 per cent of the planets are above the horizon. Your 10th house is very powerful and you are in the midst of a yearly career peak. You seem very successful this month. You can let home and family issues go for a while; your job is to serve your family by being successful.

A solar eclipse on the 4th also occurs in your 10th house, showing career changes, shake-ups in your corporate hierarchy and industry. And this seems to work in your favour. The eclipse blasts away the obstructions to your success. But your hard work, your aggressiveness, your courage also play their part. You seem in charge, in control, elevated – especially until the 15th.

The other headline this month is Jupiter’s move into your own sign. This brings financial expansion, luck in speculations (not just gambling, but catching the breaks in life), travel and educational opportunities and the ‘good life’. Self-esteem and confidence are very high. Those of you on the spiritual path are meeting a guru soon – it can happen this month, but also in future months. This person is coming to you. Those not on the path are meeting a ‘mentor’ type – a teacher who can help you.

Love is a bit rocky this month. Your focus on your career seems to complicate things. You are probably not able to devote as much time to this area as you should. If you are in a relationship, your beloved feels neglected. Marrieds are having their relationships tested – this is true for the rest of the year ahead, but especially this month. Things should improve after the 15th, and improve even further after the 20th.

Singles find love opportunities in foreign lands, or in religious or educational settings – in church, synagogue, mosque or ashram – or at school. Troubled relationships can be treated by taking a journey together or by taking courses together as a couple.

Health will improve after the 20th. Pay more attention to your liver and thighs until the 13th and to your spine, knees, teeth, gall bladder and overall skeletal alignment afterwards. Happily, your health becomes a priority after the 13th. You pay more attention, and this is good.
