2008: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
2008 Overview. Work figures especially strongly in 2008 for you, dear Aries. Some form of pleasant culmination in your professional life brings rewards and recognition. Still, despite the fact that you’re loving your career this year, you are also working especially hard. The inclination is towards more detail work, and it can get to you at times. You may turn a job into a vocation in 2008, and some work behind the scenes figures. Personal projects are on an upswing. A project begun near the beginning of the year is likely to bear fruit towards the end of 2008. Romance and close personal relationships are not making big headlines for you this year, which could be a good thing, although you should definitely take some solid time off for recreation. All work and no play just isn’t going to fulfill you at the end of the day, even if it is a tendency. As well, becoming more particular about your health and diet is in order. Happier periods for recreation and romance occur in May, June, and August. Stronger times for finances occur in the last week of January and most of April.
2008 Details. Jupiter has climbed to the very top of your chart–the most visible sector–and stays in this sector of your chart all year. An exciting job offer, reward, recognition, or promotion is very possible. An opportunity to expand on a worldly level arrives now. Increased connections and experiences come into play. This is a period of growth as well as some form of blossoming or fruition.
Jupiter expands whatever part of your chart that it touches, and your career, reputation, and public life are influenced by this planet of abundance. This is a very fortunate place for Jupiter! Increased public recognition and professional success characterizes this position. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Work-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma or other form of major award, or possibly even a marriage. You may come into the limelight in a positive fashion. Authority figures, elders, your parents, or influential people in your life tend to support and respect you during this cycle. They are more willing to help you on your road to success. An event may occur that expands your career or professional interests, and you derive more pleasure from these activities. More freedom is likely to be experienced in your career. With Saturn transiting your sector of work all year as well, this can be a time of profitable productivity. Integrity and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards–this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. The most positive potentials of this transit are more probable while Jupiter is moving in direct motion in your tenth house: from January through the first week of May, and then mid-September forward.
Saturn is in your work and health sector all year. This movement takes some of the pressure off romantic and creative affairs, as well as relationships with your children…and shifts this same kind of energy towards your job, daily routines, and health. You may begin to take on more responsibilities on the job or in another service-oriented capacity, and this likely has already been happening since September 2007. For some of you, your job could become rather tedious or downright boring, or working conditions may be poor, demanding, or frustrating. For others, worries about your job could figure. For many, duty could come before pleasure, and a tendency to work more or harder is likely. As long as this doesn’t reach workaholic levels, you’ll be just fine. In fact, it is easier than usual to be sensible about your diet, health, hygiene, and fitness needs. Be aware of the need to know when enough is enough, however. With Saturn turning a critical eye to work, daily functions, habits, and health, you are likely to feel some pressure to perform. You find yourself more accountable than ever when it comes to your work and output. Some of the questions that this cycle calls up include: How can you make best use of your time? How can you manage your day-to-day life, and your body, better? You become more and more aware of all of the “fluff” that surrounds your daily routines and your work, and spring cleaning becomes necessary. This is an excellent period for starting new regimens to better your health and well-being, such as regular exercise, more structured and productive use of your time, and so forth. By the time this transit ends (in 2009-2010)you will be considerably more productive, healthy, and focused.
Uranus continues to help release you from unconscious habit patterns, perhaps stirring up your private life (your private life has certainly become more “colorful” in the last few years), and interjecting some unusual coincidences into your life. This whole process will continue throughout 2008 and beyond, acting to slowly but surely detach you from the past. Neptune continues to move through your solar eleventh, adding some color and imagination to your social life. In the past few years, you may have faced the need to draw some boundaries with friends and the demands of others. Your loyalty to certain groups or friends may have been misplaced, for example. You have experienced, and will continue to do so, a subtle yearning to belong with a friend or a group who shares your own ideals. This can lead you to attach yourself to unusual, more spiritual, or downright wacky friends…well, colorful ones at the very least.
Fundamental changes in the way you see yourself, how you treat others, and in the direction your career is headed are in store for those of you born with an Ascendant of 0 to 1 degrees Aries and those born March 21-22. How you have handled issues of personal power and the sharing of power with others in personal and professional relationships come to the fore. You are likely to experience events that highlight the necessity to share and trust. This year, events and circumstances are such that you learn about your own personal strength. You may have to deal with willfulness and issues of power and competition this year–in others and in yourself. There are likely to be times when you feel on edge, volatile, or even threatened. There is an inner drama taking place this year, and a feeling that external circumstances are undermining your own feeling of powerfulness. In the process, you may be able to get in touch with your internal motivations. A tendency to want to control your life through some form of manipulation is strong during this influence. Meeting with obstacles in your path, however, can force you into the position of using all of your resources to fight back, and you can discover resources you never knew you had in the process! You may slowly uncover a new direction in your career–one that reflects more of the true you. You may also experience tangles in your close personal relationships, perhaps more so with males. Watch for jealousies and manipulative behavior. Things will not go in your favor if you resort to tactics to get what you want. If you have been feeling somewhat of a victim in your job, for example, then this will be a year when you feel it more acutely and feel the need to do something about it. You could have problems staying calm, cool, and collected at times. Buried resentments come to the fore and demand to be dealt with.
Chiron in a harmonious angle to your Sun (or Ascendant) continues this year. This influence is a subtly healing one. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don’t feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunitiesboth personal and professionalare likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year–supportive and easygoing ones.
Positive connections between your sixth and tenth houses this year make 2008 a highly productive year. Your sometimes Herculean efforts, paying close attention to performance and to details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents–the things that come easy–also meet with reward and acceptance. Sometimes in life, those with their nose to the grindstone can be overlooked. Not so for you in 2008. The details and the “little things” make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural this year. Work done behind the scenes may be revealed or incorporated into your career or public life this year. Past efforts pay off now. Some of you may find that your career is moving towards a more service-oriented direction. Because tension is also found between these two houses, there will be times when you feel stressed over details or the job you do and the recognition you get for it.
A positive link between your tenth and twelfth houses suggests benefits from doing behind-the-scenes work. Past efforts are also rewarded this year. Travel, promotion, or publishing could also figure in your career and benefit you. You have more faith in general regarding your career and the direction in which you are headed. You prefer to be your own boss this year, more than ever, and you might find your wish comes true.
Eclipses this year mainly fall in your fifth and eleventh houses. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. This series of eclipses is about learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence. You are called upon to learn about the value of the team. You may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. You learn the value of brotherly love and the benefits of a sense of belonging to a community. Events are such that you move towards a more objective approach to your life and you cultivate true friendships. The way in which you pursue pleasure is subject to change this year. Something is stirring within you–a feeling of unrest or dissatisfaction with your level of enjoyment in life–and this inner discontent demands a few changes. Passion and intensity in affairs of the heart or with your hobbies can run rampant and enthusiasm overflows.
Some key periods in 2008 for you: Your energy and confidence increase dramatically when Mars turns direct at the end of January. This is a gradual process that begins then and builds through February and March. The best times for magnetizing what (and who) you want into your life are April 6-14 and July 12-20. Romance heats up from May 9-28. Your strongest financial periods in 2008 occur from April 20-May 8.

Aries (Born April 11 to 20) – 20 to 30 degrees Aries:
2008: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
2008 Overview. Work figures especially strongly in 2008 for you, dear Aries. Some form of pleasant culmination in your professional life brings rewards and recognition.

Happier periods for recreation and romance occur in May, June, and August. Stronger times for finances occur in the last week of January and most of April.
2008 Details. Until March, Jupiter continues to highlight your solar ninth house, opening up new possibilities, easing stress, and lighting up your life. Travel or higher learning opportunities may present themselves.
Jupiter climbs to the very top of your chart–the most visible sector– in March 2008. An exciting job offer, reward, recognition, or promotion is very possible. An opportunity to expand on a worldly level arrives now. Increased connections and experiences come into play. This is a period of growth as well as some form of blossoming or fruition.
Jupiter expands whatever part of your chart that it touches, and your career, reputation, and public life are influenced by this planet of abundance from February forward. This is a very fortunate place for Jupiter! Increased public recognition and professional success characterizes this position. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Work-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma or other form of major award, or possibly even a marriage. You may come into the limelight in a positive fashion. Authority figures, elders, your parents, or influential people in your life tend to support and respect you during this cycle. They are more willing to help you on your road to success. An event may occur that expands your career or professional interests, and you derive more pleasure from these activities. More freedom is likely to be experienced in your career. With Saturn transiting your sector of work all year as well, this can be a time of profitable productivity. Integrity and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards–this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. The most positive potentials of this transit are more probable while Jupiter is moving in direct motion in your tenth house: from the end of March through the first week of May, and then mid-September forward.
Saturn continues to move through your solar fifth house until November. While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent period for monetizing any personal hobby–turning it into a business, even if it’s on the side, and this is something you may already have started to do in 2007. If you have children, they may need more discipline than they previously did. Some Aries will be welcoming children into their lives and discovering all of the responsibilities that come with it. Others who already have children may find that they’re at an age that requires more attention and discipline, or structure. In the romance department, Saturn’s influence can go either way. For some, romance may be somewhat lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious. Some Aries will meet a new romantic interest who is perhaps older or mature, thus meeting Saturn through a partner.
Saturn enters your work and health sector in November. This movement takes some of the pressure off romantic and creative affairs, as well as relationships with your children…and shifts this same kind of energy towards your job, daily routines, and health. You may begin to take on more responsibilities on the job or in another service-oriented capacity. For some of you, your job could become rather tedious or downright boring, or working conditions may be poor, demanding, or frustrating. For others, worries about your job could figure. For many, duty could come before pleasure, and a tendency to work more or harder is likely. As long as this doesn’t reach workaholic levels, you’ll be just fine. In fact, it is easier than usual to be sensible about your diet, health, hygiene, and fitness needs. Be aware of the need to know when enough is enough, however. With Saturn turning a critical eye to work, daily functions, habits, and health, you are likely to feel some pressure to perform. You find yourself more accountable than ever when it comes to your work and output. Some of the questions that this cycle calls up include: How can you make best use of your time? How can you manage your day-to-day life, and your body, better? You become more and more aware of all of the “fluff” that surrounds your daily routines and your work, and spring cleaning becomes necessary. This is an excellent period for starting new regimens to better your health and well-being, such as regular exercise, more structured and productive use of your time, and so forth. By the time this transit ends (in 2010) you will be considerably more productive, healthy, and focused.
The influence of Uranus in your life this year is similar to last year. Over the last few years, changes in your social circle have been occurring, and you are meeting new and unusual people. You may join a group that is devoted to metaphysics or some non-mainstream topic, if you haven’t already. You are drawn to people who are free-spirited at this point in your life. However, for those of you born April 11-13 (or those of you with an Ascendant at 20-22 degrees of Aries), Uranus dips into your twelfth house sector. Uranus here acts to help release you from unconscious habit patterns, perhaps stirring up your private life (your private life will most certainly become more “colorful” in the next few years), and interjecting some unusual coincidences into your life. This whole process will continue throughout 2008 and beyond, acting to slowly but surely detach you from the past.
Neptune begins to transit your solar eleventh for those of you born April 11-15 (and with an Ascendant of 20-24 Aries), adding some color and imagination to your social life. This year and for the next few years, you are likely to face the need to draw some boundaries with friends and the demands of others. Your loyalty to certain groups or friends may be misplaced, for example. You experience a subtle yearning to belong with a friend or a group who shares your own ideals. This can lead you to attach yourself to unusual, more spiritual, or downright wacky friends…well, colorful ones at the very least. Your friendships become more spiritual and idealistic.
Positive connections between your sixth and tenth houses this year make 2008 a highly productive year. Your sometimes Herculean efforts, paying close attention to performance and to details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents–the things that come easy–also meet with reward and acceptance. Sometimes in life, those with their nose to the grindstone can be overlooked. Not so for you in 2008. The details and the “little things” make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural this year.
