1st January 2003 - 31st December 2003

GENERAL

Aries thrives on success and the thrill of the new and untrammelled. But when that new and untrammelled turns out to be as bumpy as the moon’s surface the gas goes soon out of your balloon. 2002 saw many a deflated Aries’ balloon but instead of stepping into 2003 armed with cynicism and self-defeat you need to aim all your big guns at your targets and keep them there, realigning when necessary. Last year may well have given you one dispiriting experience after another so what you need to do now is look at any patterns that may have repeated themselves, see where you might have done something differently and apply that knowledge to new situations.

Saturn’s entry into Cancer on 3rd June, means the area of home and family will be under re-construction for a period of many months. This will be a particularly challenging position for Aries because it means everything related to children, parents, nesting and nurturing will take T-I-M-E. You won’t be able to build Rome in a day and you will discover any weaknesses in your long-term plans and inter-family relationships. On a more practical note, selling and buying property is likely to prove complicated: you may get less for your home than you had hoped while the acquisition of a new home could cost you more than you expected! Late June, early July and early October are times when Saturn is in the ascendant and you’ll have to lower your expectations and higher your guard.

The eclipses of the year fall in the areas of finance and communications so these are also aspects of life that require caution. I will, of course, keep you posted nearer the time on the finer points and implications of these eclipses but suffice to say mid-to-late May and mid-to-late November are times when you need to keep your plans fluid, your wits about you and your money and valuables in a safety deposit box! Nevertheless, eclipses also have the capacity to bring great and good developments into being, so some Arians could see their earning power increase dramatically in 2003.

Jupiter’s passage through Leo until late August is a positive plus: you’re in expansion mode and there will be some fun times, most significantly in April and August. A combination of determination, self-belief and persistence will really get you places in 2003 and this is certainly the year to set up your own business and to focus on creative, artistic and entrepreneurial ventures.

Thanks also to Jupiter’s sunny presence in the area of creativity and self-expression you have until the end of August to flaunt your assets, any which way you chose. Until June success builds upon success but after that you’ll face stiffer competition and you’ll be less free to take up opportunities, especially those involving travel.

LOVE

Love, like spring, blossoms in April. You also get a second bite of the cherry, so to speak, in mid-September and early October. Single Arians will not go short of admirers and romantic episodes while Aries who are ‘spoken for’ get much more attention from their partners - expect to be spoiled in very real and expensive terms. You will be adding to your lot before late August, whether the family group expands or you splash out on the best holiday for years.

Key Dates:

STAR PERIODS: 22nd - 30th April, 15th - 22nd August

BLACK HOLES: 20th - 25th June, 4th -14th October



1st January 2004 - 31st December 2004

General

Now, I don’t mean to burst your Aries bubble from the outset but this is probably not one of the great years - until September that is. Saturn’s position at the base of your horoscope spells w-o-r-k and r-e-s-p-o-n-s-i-b-i-l-i-t-i-e-s, especially regarding the home and family, so your best bet is to keep your expectations low then you may have some welcome surprises. In a nutshell this is a year of preparation: you need to put in the spade work on both a personal and professional level, then you can reap the rewards from the autumn onwards. The cosmos is giving you a master class in patience and tenacity - something to bear in mind particularly in late March, early July and mid-October.

Love and relationships

While the start to the year may find you at your most independent and go-getting, as the months pass your need to have someone absolutely on your side grows ever stronger until by the summer your lights are well and truly on. And thanks to Jupiter’s arrival in the area of love and relating (25th September) your needs should soon be answered. From the autumn through to September 2005 marriage and business mergers are starred, making this one of the best periods in at least a decade for love, if not a lot more besides.

Money and Work

Slow and steady progress is what you’re aiming for: that million-dollar win on the lottery is probably out of reach this year but the efforts you make to keep down costs and the long term deals you strike should make you very comfortable in years to come. February is the best money-making month while the eclipses of early May and late October present wild-card situations, whether this translates as unexpected gains or drains. Work there should be in abundance and March Arians in particular could see their star rise in 2004.

Go dates: 27th February, 11th April, 20th July, 25th September 25th , 15th November

Slow dates: 7th January, 28th March, 19th April, 25th May, 2nd July and 20th October.


1st January 2005 - 30th June 2005

General

There are two reasons why 2005 will be a good year for Aries: Jupiter will be in a position where it can bring success and Saturn will be adding to your lot in material ways. There will be more support for you and your ambitions, more travel and unexpected opportunities to expand your life - the early April is one such golden period. Nevertheless, with three eclipses (8th April, 3rd and 17th October), you will have to be careful not to exceed your physical and financial limits, nor that in your drive to succeed you do not alienate a person or an organization who could damage you. The loss of a friendship/association could be one of 2005's less glorious offerings, although you will end the year feeling enriched by your experiences.

Love

Well, this is the big thing of 2005. Arians are front of the zodiac queue when it comes to getting married, falling in love and finding greater happiness through relationships. And, if you've been manning your ship single-handed for the past few years, people now appear who clearly admire your assets and talents, and can speed your course. 22nd March - 15th April and 20th September - 8th October are key periods for your love life. Not that the entire year is one long rose-strewn path to romantic bliss - late January and late June are all moments when a close association could hit the rocks.

Money and Work

Once Saturn gets out of the way (late July) your progress across the board will be smoother, and there will be fewer restrictions on your time and expertise, and fewer responsibilities getting in the way of your ambitions. Finances require discipline, as events of late April and mid-November will reveal. There are particularly big developments for the 12th - 16th April birthdays, who could face a total job change, however all Arians will benefit from people who will promote you and your abilities - this is quite the year to enter a business partnership.

Home and Family

It is here that Saturn has incurred the greatest cost over the past couple of years. The home itself may have been a drain on your financial and emotional resources, and there could have been some serious family issues. Happily, this trend comes to an end in 2005, and once August begins there is an aura of starting-over, in some cases marked by a new home. Children become your teachers this year, whether their educational needs require a lot of input from you, or whether their actions and your interaction with them teach you volumes.

FAB DATES: 8th January, 6th February, 11th April, 1st July, 14th August, 22nd October.
DRAB DATES: 10th January, 7th March 10th April, 22nd June, 31st July and 17th October.




1st January 2006 - 30th May 2006

General

You should have reason to thank your lucky stars in 2006. With Saturn and Pluto in complete harmony with your sign, your diligence will be honoured - and I choose my words carefully. Provided your efforts are focused on endeavours worthy of your talents, and if you are persistent and painstaking with those efforts you'll hit the heights. You'll be taken more seriously now, and other people will be prepared to give you rewards and recognition. If there are reservations about your rise and rise, it is that your time for fun will be limited, and there is a chance that your health will suffer in the process. Indeed, some Arians could see a fall in their levels of creativity, whether in the sense of innovative ideas or the patter of tiny feet - short but regular bursts of pleasure and relaxation are the antidote here. March and April are the months with the most dynamic and divergent content; May and June contain the most challenging influences.

Love

In keeping with the overall trend for serious business, you are not in the mood for a light-hearted fling: you want deep and meaningful exchanges. Last year Jupiter began a new cycle for relationships so for many Arians 2006 sees even stronger structures being built on those early foundations. Others, however, may still be waiting... Yet you may not have to wait much beyond May for improvements and/or new romance. Individuals from the sign of Sagittarius and Aquarius should be very significant for you over the next two years, whether they become new partners or introduce you to Mr or Ms Right. The solar eclipse of 29th March could affect the future of an established relationship in a make or break way, especially if you are a March Ram.

Money and Work

With Saturn on your side you now have the self-discipline to hang onto the money you make and to prevent you from giving your hard earned pennies away to the lazy and the unworthy! If you choose to go self-employed or venture into business, start very conservatively - by the end of 2007 you'll know for sure whether you have a success or a damp squib. Jupiter's transit of Scorpio could make for some generous investments in your ideas and talents: you may also benefit from an inheritance or settlement. November looks to be the best month for money matters but act with prudence and don't rely on promises in February and August.

Home and Family

Responsibility may not make you leap up and down for joy but it's here on home turf that you get to practice the art of being where the buck stops. Combining a heavy work schedule with domesticity will not get any easier in 2006, and there could be unexpected drains on your time and income due to problems of a family or property nature. Nevertheless, what you learn from your forays into DIY and bureaucracy will stand you in good stead for the future. Do your best to wield a light hand with offspring or younger members of the family - it's one thing to be a teacher, another to be a slave-driver. Choose late May for a family celebration and early August and October for a holiday to remember.




1st January 2007 - 31st December 2007

General

If 2006 seemed like a lot of hard work for no reward, at least in 2007 you'll see some real results. Nonetheless, don't expect success to come at the speed of lightening: Saturn's position continues to make you work on quality as opposed to quantity, and to keep on going without constant ego-boosts. Jupiter's passage through the area of far horizons will open up your world, and in directions you'll be thrilled about: for some there will be lots of travel - and to distant places - others can expect to meet someone who will make the world seem a bigger and better place - and a few may realize a life-time's dream. You cannot treat your health casually: you're driving yourself hard and, like a racing car, you need occasional pit-stops and check-ups. The periods of 8th-17th March and 3rd-12th October are superb; late January and early to mid February test your mettle.

Love

Avoid being too serious about the business of love. Believe me, love will find you without your looking for it, and when you least expect it. There are lessons to be learned about patience and selfless love, and an older partner, or one with a strong Capricorn or Saturn emphasis, will be your teacher. There's a foreign touch to romance this year, whether you find love in a far-off place or with someone from a different culture, and passionate feelings can be rekindled abroad. Choose the first half of March and late October for a special occasion and June/July to work on a needy relationship; otherwise, leave it to the cosmos: your love life is in good hands.

Money and Work

Hopefully, you managed to set finances on an upward course last year because you don't want the distraction of worrying about money when you have people to see and places to go. 2007/8 are big years for you professionally speaking, and it seems success lies in unfamiliar territory, whether this means you'll be developing new skills and ploughing your talents in new directions or working with international companies and in foreign places. Some Arians will see their star rise this year while others will have to wait until 2008. The eclipses of 3 March and 28th August could transform your job prospects, either through offers that cannot be resisted or because of changes in the economic and political policies of a company you work for.

Home and Family

For some reason you seem to have been landed with responsibilities you neither needed nor wanted. But they must be borne, and by the Autumn of 2007 you may find they no longer feel such a burden. If you want to start or add to the family, whether in terms of babies or a bigger home, don't expect quick deliveries - Saturn's position in the area of creativity is all about timing and practice! A family event in July should make everyone smile, and August is the best month for a holiday. It's been a bit of a theme for your 2007 forecast as a whole, I know, but getting to grips with the notion that watched pots never boil, will make a huge difference to your outlook and to outcomes. Everything comes to they who wait!




1st January 2008 - 31st July 2008

General

You've got a lot of hard work on your hands in 2008, but, my goodness, will it ever be worth it. Pluto's entry into Capricorn (26 January) together with Jupiter's passage through that same sign all year will transform your prospects, albeit with some upheaval in the process. Career and material matters are in the spotlight and this is your most upwardly-mobile year in a decade. And perhaps because of all the work you'll be taking on plus the extra responsibilities, you'll need to keep a watchful eye on your health. You'll be mixing with people of power and influence, in some cases due to your own achievements and in others through an offspring or family member. And for some Arians, fame, and certainly recognition, lies ahead. You can only fail to live up to your expectations by giving up or giving in too soon. April is your best month; August the most challenging.

Love

Something in you changes this year, whether as a result of a relationship break-down or because you start to see that you have been bound by your own patterns. You have some difficulty in finding partners who are your equals, which means you jump into relationships without knowing who the other person truly is, so, from now on, people you date have to prove themselves before you commit and partners you are already with must take on more of the work of the relationship. The periods around 21 February, 23 April, 1st August and 9th September represent relationship crossroads. The signs of Libra and Capricorn will figure in your love life, whether as new partners or catalysts to change.

Money and Work

Here is where your main focus should be and where the more important developments of the year take place. With Saturn in the area of work and Jupiter and Pluto in the zone of career and life goals you have all the big celestial guns behind you. January may give you your first taste of success although it may take until early February when ruler, Mars, is once more direct, for you to find your feet. November is another power-packed month. 2008 is a great year to go into business and for creative enterprises but in any negotiation - financial or professional - you should not accept the first offer you receive. You can make big money this year so do not waste your time or your talent on individuals and companies who do not appreciate you. Likewise, save your money - you'll be oh so glad you did when the global squeeze begins to bite in 2009.

Home and Lifestyle

Babies and children dominate this area of life. There will be new people to welcome into your world and the eclipses of February and August alter the family map. The elderly will take more of your time and attention this year and if you haven't played nurse and carer before, start polishing up your healing skills. July is the month for home moves and domestic alterations, and major expenditure related to family and property can be expected in late April/May and November. Holidays are educational, both in the sense of revealing what people are really like and in your enjoyment of places of historical and cultural interest. All in all, a year of lofty possibilities.




1st July 2008 - 31st December 2008

GENERAL

Normally one of the most outgoing members of the zodiac, this summer you are far more introspective and focused on those things close to home, both in the sense of family and your activities. The solar eclipse of the 1st August signals a new creative venture and/or a new person in your life and of all the summer months this is the one with the most potentially life-changing influences. I know you hate that word patience but you are going to have tread water in one or more areas of your existence during the next twelve weeks, although this does not mean you should give up hope where your long-term plans are concerned; it is more a case of waiting for the wheels of bureaucracy to turn and for people and organizations to get their act together. Which they will.

LOVE

Keep your eyes trained on September because this is when a relationship will come into full flower. The 16th - 23rd September represents a key period for romance, although the summer as a whole helps put the past firmly behind you and brings new energy and light into your love life. There are quiet joys to be had with a partner and time spent close to water will prove to be an inspired setting for proposals and planning for the future. July is probably the most fun and, if you're looking to meet someone new, this is the time to use your network of friends and to socialize. Aries is a great mover and shaker but you're about to discover the advantages of letting someone pursue and please you. You know, you might enjoy a back seat position!

WORK AND FINANCE

Pluto and Jupiter will be retrograding through the zone of career and life-goals until early September so this is likely to be the area of life in which much patience and fortitude is required. Either you'll have to work without encouragement or the promotions and openings you were hoping for will prove tantalizingly elusive. However, as soon as there is a crispness in the air, that telephone will start ringing... You stand to make good money this year, and if you are starting your own business or drumming up investment in your talent, you will achieve success by the year's end.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

Family events will put their signature on the summer. There could be announcements that will mean domestic changes and once again you seem to be using this period of the year for renovation and refurbishment. The sale of a property belonging to a senior member of the family could swell the coffers and the older generation will be the source of enrichment, whether in the sense of good advice or financial gain. For some Arians the prospect of a move abroad will arise, and events on or around the 20th June and/or 20th September could turn out to be significant here. July is the best month for a vacation – August poses many challenges and changes.


1st January 2009 - 30th June 2009

GENERAL

You're not so much the Aries loner in 2009 – you're learning the advantages of team-work and seeking creative fulfilment as opposed to material gains. Now, this does not mean you won't be earning money or expressing your independence but there is a sea-change going on within you and this will be reflected in alterations to your lifestyle and your overall aims. There is a more idealistic-you emerging. Pluto's passage through the area of career and life-goals will inspire major moves, both in the sense of work and home location and you will be shedding baggage of some description during the next twelve months. You're a little more vulnerable health-wise so minor distress signals should be attended to, and your work-load pared or shared. There could be additions to the family and an opportunity for you to shine in the spotlight.

LOVE

With Venus in your sign from 3 February – 5 June, you cannot blame your stars for a lacklustre love life. You have the time and the power to manifest your romantic hopes and set relationships on a firm course. Valentine's Day could be the day you always hoped it would be and late October is another premium period for love and your future happiness. On 28th October Saturn enters the zone of relating for a two-year transit during which time partnerships will be put to the test: the good will get better and the bad will simply have to go. Some Arians will also begin a relationship with an older partner or one with a strongly Capricornian element to his/her chart. And, in general, you'll earn your spurs in the love game from this point on.

MONEY AND WORK

There are mixed messages in regard to money. On the one hand, Jupiter's transit of the zone of collaboration makes this a year to pool money, talents and resources with like-minded people, and you could see an entrepreneurial venture flourish. On the other hand, Saturn's influence in the partnership sector from late October warns against business partnerships and joint investments. It may be that in the final quarter of the year you have to bear a greater share of the financial load, and it will prove hard work getting loans and people to invest in your skills. Money matters look good in mid-June and a career opportunity arising in early January could make a huge difference to your long term prospects and security.




1st July 2005 - 31st December 2005

GENERAL

Quite the best news of the summer is the departure of Saturn from the base of your horoscope: this planet has been largely responsible for the frustrating and depressing episodes you may have experienced during the past two years, however, now your patience will be rewarded and the seeds you have planted will begin to bear fruit. From late June until the end of September the emphasis is on private life - you're not in the spotlight, moving and shaking, but recharging the batteries and keeping close to those you love. August is the best month all round, September a time of changing alliances and priorities.

LOVE

Jupiter's passage through the premier relationship zone puts romance back on the menu and sets the stage for marriage - or inspires in you a need and desire to find a fulfilling partnership. And this trend reaches something of a peak between mid-August and mid-September - indeed, events of the 28th August - 2nd September could totally change the nature and status of an intimate relationship. This summer, you're more serious about your feelings and in no mood for light-hearted flings or being with people who neither respect nor support you. March Arians especially may find that love comes at a high price.

WORK AND FINANCE

You need a break, both in the sense of taking some time off work and receiving financial and professional proof of your talents and hard work. And you may just get both before the end of 2005. A combination of Mars in your sign and the sun in the zone of ambitions makes July the time to approach people of power and influence and the month when an opening appears or a reward of some description is given to you. It may take until the autumn before your bank account starts to see some serious action but you are on the way up, Aries, and on the way out of the red!

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

The summer represents the end of a period in which you have shouldered many responsibilities, and taken on some Herculean tasks. It is in your nature to relish a challenge, but a less demanding schedule would do wonders for your health and emotional well-being. From late July, you should begin to see improvements on the home and family front, whether you are finally able to make a long-planned move, or whether worries over a relative are resolved. The last weekend of June and the last ten days of July are times when chapters end and new ones begin.




1st July 2006 - 31st December 2006

GENERAL

In an ideal world the Rams of the zodiac would be planning a quiet summer in order to recharge your batteries ready for the busy winter that lies ahead. It's almost as though you need to come back to yourself: you have given so much of your time and energy to others that there's not a lot left for you. July provides you with some feisty Mars energy making this the best month to enter competitive arenas and to market your considerable assets - personally and professionally. August will not go according to design and you'll need more than one back-up plan for a gathering or holiday break. September brings career and health into the radar, with a pleasing surprise on or near the 23rd.

LOVE

October is the big month for romance and relationships so during the summer you are preparing the ground. This may take the form of health and image improvements, taking a break from dating in order to find your centre and re-establish your priorities or allowing a partner some distance and space. For some Arians, there could be a wedding on home territory in July and a few may find that a love affair does a disappearing act in August. The last week of August is all about the realization of a dream or the collapse of an unworkable association. On the 8th September Mars arrives in the relationship zone all set to chivvy up your sex life and show you who your real friends are.

WORK AND FINANCE

There's been a bit of a turn-around in the Aries camp - usually the fun member of the team, you have become much more serious about your abilities and your aims, and you are much more prepared to work in the shadows until you achieve (or find) what you want. August is a crucial month here: events could inspire a major change of career direction, although as September comes in some Arians will be seeing the first signs of success for their hard labours. You can make money and do well from investments in the summer - and beyond - but you will have to abandon the policy of: you only live once!

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

Home affairs dominate the July and August period. A serious bout of renovation and refurbishment is on the cards for many celestial Rams, and on or near the 9th a senior member of the family becomes the centre of attraction - or is that consternation? There are some goodbye's to be said, whether a friendship turns sour or a relative or colleague leaves for distant parts - once again, late August is featured here. By September you will be clearer in your mind, freer in your responsibilities and ever more determined to end 2006 with a feather in your cap.
