Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:

You have wonderful support from Saturn and Uranus again this year, Aries. Uranus is in your sign and Saturn is in a fellow Fire sign (Sagittarius) until mid-December. While they were in the same signs last year, for most of 2017, they are in harmony with one another, creating incredible opportunities to boost the excitement and progressive spirit of your life without sacrificing stability. This combination is brilliant for making things work and making realistic dreams happen. As well, Uranus is in your sign, and a stabilizing trine from Saturn is very welcome, particularly after many years with Uranus in challenging aspect to Pluto. Signs point to practical development.

Aries is a Fire sign and is of a Cardinal nature, suggesting that you want to make things happen. While Saturn’s influence may sometimes feel weighty or too predictable, this influence is helpful overall for assisting you in building and following through on projects you’ve started – something that doesn’t always come easily to your sign.

Areas of change and occasional disruption tend to be career, reputation, relationships, and health.

This is a powerful year for one-to-one relationships, finances, and negotiations. Partnering up with someone can be very advantageous. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

Your intimacy, shared finance, debt, and support sector has been an area of your chart that has faced more than usual outer planet challenges for many years. This year, however, things are coming together in these areas of life. From October forward, you benefit from a wonderful influence for support. This transit will last until November 2018 and its benefits will be even more apparent after December 2017.

Keep in mind that you are reaching a career peak, beginning in December, when karmic Saturn moves to the top of your solar chart. As such, use any opportunity you can in 2017 to get yourself together, as you are moving into a very public period.

Aries (Born March 21-April 20*) – 0 to 30 degrees Aries:

2017: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Aries (All)

Close partnerships can be a real joy in 2017, dear Aries. You prefer to spend one-on-one time than interacting in group settings. It’s a very strong year for those of you looking for a happy partnership. Others tend to be supportive, helpful, and positive. Partnering opportunities are substantial. Some of you will form a partnership that either leads to marriage or is otherwise significant, some will enhance an existing close relationship, and most will derive much joy from their relationships with significant others. New partners met this year are likely to feel much like a breath of fresh air. Challenging relationships, or challenges in relationships, tend to be left behind. For some, romance becomes a little more serious, but “fun-serious.” Some of you will fall in love or re-commit to a current lover.

Freedom and individuality are essential ingredients in your relationships. However, later in the year, especially from October forward, you’re likely to crave a deep connection. You enter a yearlong cycle that improves your intimate world and your relationship with yourself as you embrace your deeper needs. This can be a brilliant period for refunds, gifts, and support. It’s also powerful for counseling, psychiatry, and self-improvement efforts.

Improving your skills will be a focus in 2017, and some of you will do so formally, benefiting greatly from it. There is a growing need to buckle down with your education or to learn more specific skills rather than broad topics now. This is an excellent period for skills development no matter what your age, and you’ll want to prepare for the cycle that begins at the tail end of 2017 when Saturn reaches the top of your solar chart. Saturn urges you to discipline yourself in your professional life and reminds you of the importance of structure, responsibility, and reputation. A career peak of sorts is on its way.

March and April bring some backtracking in the areas of relationships, partnerships, and finances. Take this time to review these matters with an eye on improving them. You’re reviewing your feelings about love and pleasure. You are likely to be focused on past relationships rather than pushing forward socially. You really come into your own from mid-May to the first week of June when opportunities to advance your personal interests and plans emerge. You’re also much clearer on what’s in your heart, and this helps you make the right decisions for you.

Heavyweight planets are directly affecting the sectors of your chart that rule how the world views you, both professionally and personally. You continue to move away from false paths that no longer serve you well, or you transform them into more suitable ones. This year, you’re likely to get things moving smoothly, even if you are still rather independent and at times rebellious.

Uranus has been in your sign for years and has a little way to go before moving to Taurus in 2018-2019. When Uranus first stimulates your Sun or Ascendant, you could find that you’re acting out – rebelling, even. This will happen in 2017 for those born April 11-18. As you become more accustomed to its energy, you are more active than reactive. The plus side of this influence is that you feel fresher, more energetic, younger, and more expressive. You are able to free yourself from limiting situations and attitudes. Do be careful, however, that you don’t alienate others with a self-centered, defensive attitude.

You’re in a great position to get your life sorted out in key ways this year. Better routines and more consistent attention to health and wellness figure strongly. You can come to a better work-life balance by automating some of your work or coming up with new ways and methods to do the things you’ve previously toiled over. A partner or even a potential partnership could play a vital role in helping or motivating you to bring more order into your life. This can be a time for finding more joy in life from simplifying. Some of your wilder ideas can be brought down to reality this year.

Until October 10th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar seventh house and you can enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period in which you are more likely to establish a significant partnership or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married or enter a long-term, committed partnership. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are that much more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For those of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. 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. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship or position. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from January 1-February 5, and from June 9-October 10.

From October 10th forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is moving through your solar eighth house. During this cycle, you may see benefits in any of the areas ruled by the eighth house - joint finances, shared resources, loans, taxes, sexuality, intimacy, healing, personal transformation, research, investigation, and psychological matters. This is a time of increased psychological understanding, intimacy, and perhaps the accumulation of wealth if you manage your resources well. This is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy. You are more capable of helping friends and loved ones who are dealing with a crisis - you can be leaned upon. Your ability to understand and accept anything that is deep in meaning or significant is enhanced now, and you instinctively realize that the path to healing is to face your fears. Others tend to be more supportive of you as well. Any type of in-depth study or research is likely to go well. In some cases, a significant tax refund, inheritance, inheritance, or other such benefits might arrive during this transit. Financial gains may come through a partnership or there may be an increase in a spouse's income. Sensual or intimate opportunities are likely to abound, or your focus on one partner becomes more expansive, warm, and intimate. This could be a time of purging yourself of literal or psychic "junk", as there is a sense that de-cluttering your life will be beneficial to your emotional well-being. Benefits can come through jointly held resources, loans, or taxes. 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. This can be an excellent time for eye-opening psychological discoveries that help you to liberate yourself from difficulties of the past or from attitudes that have been holding you back from moving forward.

Saturn transits your solar ninth house until December 2017. This transit began in December 2014 and runs until December 2017 (with the exception of June 14-September 17, 2015). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence.

Saturn finishes its transit of this sector in 2017. This period in your life is generally dedicated to self-improvement. You are developing your ideals and your commitments. Ideals and spiritual goals that you may have taken for granted or worked with for many years seem superficial or not particularly useful to you now. You come face to face with your own self-defeating attitudes during this period of time, and important work can be done on coming to a more realistic state of mind. This process continues this year, but much of the work has already been done. Saturn is also beyond its supportive trine to your Sun.

Higher learning and travel might be areas of constriction or you might find that you’re attracted to especially practical studies and that you travel for business more than for pleasure. You are taking a closer look at –and re-assessing — your attitude as well as the basis behind your confidence. The blind faith or optimism that may have carried you to date comes up for inspection. Are your belief systems sound? What do you stand for? What kind of future are you working towards, and why? These are some of the questions this transit has stimulated. The spirit that drives you and motivates you to move out and beyond the everyday grind comes up for inspection. By the end of the transit, you will have a better understanding of what it is that offers you hope and optimism as well as that which fuels your drive. You will be one step closer to knowing where you are headed, and you will have re-built faith in yourself. Ideally, you adopt a more mature attitude towards adventure and facing the unknown. You let go of self-defeating attitudes that have been holding you back, you recognize exactly where you have been overdoing your expectations, and you find new ways to nurture faith, hope, and vision. This is truly a period of self-discovery.

The acute elements of this transit have already passed for your Aries group – you are finishing and tidying things up in these areas of your life. This is a time for resolving these issues. You’re maturing and crystallizing lessons that you can carry forward with you. After mid-December, Saturn won’t return to this area of your chart for another 29 years.

Saturn transits your solar tenth house from December 19th forward (until 2020). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for you, that will be now until December 2018!

This cycle represents a time in your life in which you build a secure foundation in your professional and/or most public life. Your standing in society comes under Saturn’s scrutiny. You have found yourself in the spotlight, and what it is exactly that you have been building has come up for inspection. Some of you find yourself receiving recognition and career “rewards” at this time. If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it is a time when you truly begin to face your duties as a career person. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition, you do not focus on where you are going as much as you focus on where you stand.

Saturn’s transit of the tenth house is an eye-opening one—a time when you are working hard, taking on your fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of your hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. You become aware of what you have and haven’t accomplished to date. You are now treated to a realistic look at what you have built and achieved. You no longer view your place in the world, your career, and your reputation with rose-colored glasses. At times you may feel exposed, publicly scrutinized, or under fire in your career. If this discomfort is great, it may be that you have been holding onto a false image of yourself. The more acute elements of this transit happen this year, after which you become a little more comfortable with this energy.

During this cycle, your career requires important decisions and choices. Important projects may come to fruition, and this can be a time for reaping their rewards, but there can be some disappointment now as well if you haven’t achieved what you wanted to achieve. You are certainly more accountable for what you have and haven’t done.

There can be more recognition of the efforts you put forth, as well as increased motivation for tackling tasks that you previously felt were monotonous or uninteresting.

You may acquire a higher position now, and you are likely to feel the weight of increased responsibilities that come with it. There can be issues to handle with a parent (more likely the father) or parent figure, or a boss/authority figure in your life. You may be bringing more unusual or advanced techniques to your business, incorporating more ideals into your life plan, and some of you could be friends with influential people.

There can be some feelings of being blocked or stalled, by circumstances or by others, while Saturn squares your Sun during the period from December 2017-December 2018. It can be difficult to feel that you’re moving forward under this influence. In fact, you’re not moving backwards, and you are moving forward slowly but surely. Treat delays as chances to perfect what you’re doing, and you’ll be much better off emotionally.

As Saturn squares your Sun, distinct pressures can begin to build up. More responsibilities on your shoulders could weigh you down a little, and life slows down a tad. Dealing with Saturn squares involves recognizing the need to slow down, face reality, and humble yourself a little. Pressures from your professional life are likely but needn’t be overwhelming. You are likely to have new or increased responsibilities, and it might take some time to get adjusted to them. Your ego may be a little frail at this point, and, as a result, you may be harder on yourself than you need be. Much can be accomplished during this period. Although you may not see immediate results for your efforts, important groundwork can be laid for the future.

Uranus continues to transit your solar first house this year. Uranus is the Awakener, and often “awakens” your consciousness to areas of your life that it touches in surprising ways. As such, there may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations or past conditioning patterns. You are more inspired this year, and your personality fairly bubbles with bursts of enthusiasm. Impulsiveness is something to watch out for, however. Your need for freedom can be so strong that you leave cherished things (or people!) behind. Alienating those close to you may occur now if you’re not careful. At the very least, people around you are surprised by your more rebellious and risk-taking nature. While you shouldn’t resist change now, you should avoid entirely impulsive behavior.

Changes in the image you project to others, and perhaps your personal style and appearance, take place this year. You might go through a series of personal makeovers. You are breaking free from the expectations of others now. Your behavior tends to be more spontaneous, and perhaps a little rebellious. Freedom of personal expression is immensely important to you now, and if you turn a few heads or raise some eyebrows in the pursuit thereof, you don’t particularly worry about it! The more acute elements of this transit have already been experienced before 2017 for your decan of Aries.

The more acute elements of this transit have already been experienced before 2017 for your decan of Aries.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar twelfth house this year.

It’s a pleasant placement for this mysterious and elusive planet. Dreams are especially rich and involved. You pay more attention to synchronicities, signs, symbols, and omens in your life. You are building your faith in all that is “unseen”. This is a long-term transit that spiritualizes your life in subtle ways. Some of you can be quite psychic.

You might often find yourself in a position of serving and supporting others during this period. You are more sensitive to suffering and feel more compassion for others. It’s a time for forgiving others and yourself. There can be some confusion, however, if you’re not in touch with these needs. Motivation may wane for things that you previously were passionate about. Reorienting your life is necessary as a result. For some, this can be a time of confusion in the job of a spouse.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your tenth house this year.

Your ambition is intense, and the need to find deep significance with regards to your social standing or professional life becomes very strong. Some of you might attract negative attention from superiors or from others in your field who are jealous of, threatened by, or finding fault in, the work you do. However, any trials and tests that could be stimulated now will push you onto the right path and challenge you to become stronger and more confident in your own abilities.

Some of you may be changing jobs or long-term professional goals. Some might continue along the same career path but alter their goals and duties. Others might discover a deep inner need to grow and develop their existing careers or businesses, uncovering ambitions that they never knew they had. Fears of underperforming can come to the fore under this influence, and it’s time to find ways to eradicate them.

Until May 2017, The North Node transits your solar sixth house. Your attention is turned to work, habits, health, and routines. Setting rules and boundaries will be important at this time. Orderliness will be empowering, and paying closer attention to deadlines, details, and rules will be challenging but also very rewarding. By structuring your life, you will be able to come closer to achieving your dreams.

From May 2017 forward, the North Node transits your solar fifth house, and you are pointed in the direction of creativity, uniqueness, standing out from the crowd, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You can benefit greatly from making a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness. Don't be afraid to get creative, go steady, and stand out!

2017: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Mental pressures ease considerably and you feel more comfortable in 2017.

Until November 24th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar seventh house and you can enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period in which you are more likely to establish a significant partnership or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married or enter a long-term, committed partnership. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are that much more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations.

Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. 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. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship or position. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar house, from January 1-February 5, and from June 9-October 10.

Jupiter transits opposition your Sun/Ascendant. You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit, for some, is that you might over-reach as a result of these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.

From November 24th forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is moving through your solar eighth house. During this cycle, you may see benefits in any of the areas ruled by the eighth house - joint finances, shared resources, loans, taxes, sexuality, intimacy, healing, personal transformation, research, investigation, and psychological matters. This is a time of increased psychological understanding, intimacy, and perhaps the accumulation of wealth if you manage your resources well. This is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy. You are more capable of helping friends and loved ones who are dealing with a crisis - you can be leaned upon. Your ability to understand and accept anything that is deep in meaning or significant is enhanced now, and you instinctively realize that the path to healing is to face your fears.

Benefits can come through jointly held resources, loans, or taxes. 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. This can be an excellent time for eye-opening psychological discoveries that help you to liberate yourself from difficulties of the past or from attitudes that have been holding you back from moving forward.

Saturn transits your solar ninth house this year. This transit will run until at least the end of 2018 for your decan.

Saturn is now beyond its trine to your Sun or Ascendant but continues to influence your solar ninth house. This period in your life is generally dedicated to self-improvement. You are developing your ideals and your commitments. Ideals and spiritual goals that you may have taken for granted or worked with for many years seem superficial or not particularly useful to you now. You come face to face with your own self-defeating attitudes during this period of time, and important work can be done on coming to a more realistic state of mind. This process continues this year, but much of the work has already been done. Saturn is also beyond its supportive trine to your Sun.

The acute elements of this transit have already passed for your Aries group – you are finishing and tidying things up in these areas of your life. This year and 2018 are periods for resolving these issues.

Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar first house. Uranus is the Awakener, and often “awakens” your consciousness to areas of your life that it touches in surprising ways. As such, there may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations or past conditioning patterns. You are more inspired this year, and your personality fairly bubbles with bursts of enthusiasm. Impulsiveness is something to watch out for, however. Your need for freedom can be so strong that you leave cherished things (or people!) behind. Alienating those close to you may occur now if you’re not careful. At the very least, people around you are surprised by your more rebellious and risk-taking nature. While you shouldn’t resist change now, you should avoid entirely impulsive behavior.

Neptune begins its lengthy transit through your solar twelfth house for those born at 10-14 degrees Aries Ascendant and April 1-5 this year. It’s a pleasant placement for this mysterious and elusive planet. Dreams are especially rich and involved. You pay more attention to synchronicities, signs, symbols, and omens in your life. You are building your faith in all that is “unseen”. This is a long-term transit that spiritualizes your life in subtle ways. Some of you can be quite psychic.

Pluto continues or begins its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house this year.

For those of you born from 17 to 19-1/2 degrees Aries Ascendant or approximately April 7-10 (the remainder of this decan have already moved beyond this transit), Pluto is transiting square to your Sun this year and fundamental changes in the way you see yourself, how you treat others, and in the direction your career is headed are in store. 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 pull up 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 and volatile. There is an inner drama taking place this year, and perhaps 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. Avoid focusing on regrets or dead-end situations, as the tendency to obsess over things that can’t or shouldn’t be changed runs very high. Resentments and regrets left unattended can have toxic effects, so it’s wise to work on overcoming these rather than letting them spoil your life. By the time this transit ends, you are more equipped than ever to go after exactly what it is that you want in life. Superficial areas of your life will be removed or transformed, and you are freer to express your authentic self. This is an empowering time when you let go of attitudes that have kept you from discovering who you are and where you want to head in your life. You learn of your ambitions now and reassess long-term goals.

This year, the North Node transits your solar fifth house, and you are pointed in the direction of creativity, uniqueness, standing out from the crowd, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You can benefit greatly from making a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness. Don't be afraid to get creative, go steady, and stand out!

Aries (Born April 11 to 20*) – 20 to 30 degrees Aries (3rd DECAN):

2017: Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From January 1-March 24 then from August 20th forward, Jupiter continues to move through your solar seventh house and you can enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period in which you are more likely to establish a significant partnership or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married or enter a long-term, committed partnership.

Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship or position. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from January 1-February 5, and from August 20-forward.

Saturn transits your solar ninth house this year. This transit will run until at least the end of 2019 for your decan. This transit is new to your decan, making its themes a little more intense in 2017, after which you become increasingly more comfortable with the energy.

This period in your life is generally dedicated to self-improvement. You are developing your ideals and your commitments. Ideals and spiritual goals that you may have taken for granted or worked with for many years seem superficial or not particularly useful to you now. You come face to face with your own self-defeating attitudes during this period of time, and important work can be done on coming to a more realistic state of mind. This process continues this year, but much of the work has already been done. Saturn is also beyond its supportive trine to your Sun.

Higher learning and travel might be areas of constriction or you might find that you’re attracted to especially practical studies and that you travel for business more than for pleasure. You are taking a closer look at –and re-assessing — your attitude as well as the basis behind your confidence. The blind faith or optimism that may have carried you to date comes up for inspection. Are your belief systems sound? What do you stand for? What kind of future are you working towards, and why? These are some of the questions this transit stimulates. The spirit that drives you and motivates you to move out and beyond the everyday grind comes up for inspection. By the end of the transit, you will have a better understanding of what it is that offers you hope and optimism as well as that which fuels your drive. You will be one step closer to knowing where you are headed, and you will have re-built faith in yourself. Ideally, you adopt a more mature attitude towards adventure and facing the unknown. You let go of self-defeating attitudes that have been holding you back, you recognize exactly where you have been overdoing your expectations, and you find new ways to nurture faith, hope, and vision. This is truly a period of self-discovery.

Saturn forms a trine with your Sun this year, and this helps you to better focus on your goals. This transit is a stabilizing one–others know they can rely on you, and you on them. Your vision is all the more realistic now, and pleasingly so. You work steadily and determinedly towards your goals. Authority figures and elders tend to look favorably upon you.

Uranus begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar first house. This will bring a burst of energy and awareness into your life, marking a time of monumental changes to your identity. Freedom of expression is deeply important to you now. You are making breaks from elements from your past that have limited your freedom or that have kept you from expressing your individuality. This is a time when you are more willing to take personal risks.

Uranus is the Awakener, and often “awakens” your consciousness to areas of your life that it touches in surprising ways. As such, there may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations or past conditioning patterns. You are more inspired this year, and your personality fairly bubbles with bursts of enthusiasm. Impulsiveness is something to watch out for, however. Your need for freedom can be so strong that you leave cherished things (or people!) behind. Alienating those close to you may occur now if you’re not careful. At the very least, people around you are surprised by your more rebellious and risk-taking nature. While you shouldn’t resist change now, you should avoid completely impulsive behavior. Changes in the image you project to others, and perhaps your personal style and appearance, take place this year. You might go through a series of personal makeovers. You are breaking free from the expectations of others now. Your behavior tends to be more spontaneous, and perhaps a little rebellious. Freedom of personal expression is immensely important to you now, and if you turn a few heads or raise some eyebrows in the pursuit thereof, you don’t particularly worry about it!

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar eleventh house this year, as it has been doing for a number of years, casting some “fog” over, and adding some color and imagination to, your social life. For some years now, you may have been faced with 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…colorful ones at the very least!

Note: Neptune continues to transit Pisces, but it travels through the 9- to 14-degree range. Neptune will not reach the beginning of your decan until 2020.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar ninth house this year. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes to your belief system. This transit continues to have the effect of gradually transforming your belief system and general outlook on life. Some of the beliefs that have carried you to date may seem outdated or superficial, and events and circumstances in your life prompt you to adopt new beliefs and visions, or to alter those you’ve had in the past. Expectations transform again this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do.

Until November 2017, the North Node transits your solar fifth house, and you are pointed in the direction of creativity, uniqueness, standing out from the crowd, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You can benefit greatly from making a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness. Don't be afraid to get creative, go steady, and stand out!

From November 2017 forward, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fourth house, and some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your private life, home, and family. You need to let go of your tendency to over-manage your life and others' lives, to relax your standards of perfection and achievement, and to avoid falling victim to living through the eyes of society instead of valuing our own personal (as opposed to professional/status) achievements. By working on your inner foundation and your "base", success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives. And, of course, your domestic world is sure to improve by leaps and bounds.
