Joseph Polansky - Your Personal Horoscope 2010 - Month-by-month Forecasts for Every Sign

There is a solar eclipse on the 11th that is strong on you, Aries, so be sure to take a reduced schedule for a few days before and after. Do what you need to do, but spend more quiet time at home and avoid risky activities.

This eclipse occurs in your 4th house and once again has an impact on the family, family members, children and people who are like family to you. There are dramatic experiences in their lives. They will tend to be temperamental. The family unit itself can be in crisis–threatened in some way. Be more patient with family members and parent figures (they are also involved here). Often during these kinds of eclipses (sometimes a week before or after) you discover problems in the physical home and these will need your attention. But these problems have been there for a long time and it is good that they are revealed–this way they can get corrected.

A love affair (not a marriage) gets tested now.

In spite of all the muss and fuss of the eclipse, life is basically good overall. As mentioned, health is good–though you need to rest and relax more until the 23rd. You can enhance your health by paying more attention to your stomach and chest until the 9th and to the heart afterwards. With Jupiter and Uranus in your own sign you are experiencing freedom and prosperity. Love is more difficult, and existing relationships are more stressed. You will have to force yourself to show more love and warmth to others–you might be unconsciously projecting coldness and criticism, and being judgemental.

Last month, on the 23rd, you entered another yearly personal pleasure peak and it is continuing this month as well (until the 23rd). A party period. You will be working hard as well–working hard and playing hard. On the 23rd, as the Sun enters your 6th house, you are more serious about things and focusing on health and work issues. The party is still happening but is more subdued–you are taking a work break.

The power in the fire element is dying down this month and levels will be more ‘normal’ (the way they have been for a few years) after the 23rd. The pace of events is slowing down. Add the fact that 40 per cent of the planets are in retrograde motion (and, after the 20th, 50 per cent) and the slow-down is even stronger. A good month for a holiday as nothing much is happening in the world anyway. Also good for learning patience–a general weakness in the Aries personality.

With so much retrograde activity, the cosmos is calling you to avoid shortcuts. Be slower but more perfect in what you do. Pay attention to the little details and get them right.

Health is more stressed this month as three planets in Libra are stressing you out. Happily you are more focused on health–making it a priority–and this is a help. Rest and relax more and pay more attention to your heart and small intestine. Earth-orientated therapies such as mud packs, mud baths and healing crystals are good now. If you feel under the weather, spend more time in the mountains or old forests or caves–places where the earth energy is strong–and you will feel much better.

The planetary power is now mostly in the Western, social sector of the chart (the sunset period of your year). Sunset is the time for lovers. You are more social now, but love–serious love–seems very complicated. You are no shrinking violet these days. You go after the person you want. You are popular–as you go out of your way for others and for your beloved–yet Saturn in your 7th house seems to deny romance. You have opportunities but feel blocked–inhibited. Perhaps there is some fear about love–some innate pessimism that needs to be looked at.

Mars, your ruling planet, travels with Saturn, your career planet, early in the month–this suggests romantic opportunities with older people, or people of high status and prestige. You are more involved with a parent or parent figure, too.

Love opportunities are there, but go slow and steady. No need to rush into anything.

A business partnership or joint venture seems in the making after the 7th.

Last month Uranus left your sign and this month, on the 10th, Jupiter follows. After the 10th there is almost no fire in the horoscope (only when the Moon moves through a fire sign temporarily). No more talk of global warming. The earth is colder now. It is at times like these that the world needs people like you, Aries–it needs your fire, your flame of passion and enthusiasm, your optimism and can-do attitude. Your natural leadership qualities get more respect. Yes, it is great to have good ideas and communication skills. Great to have a pragmatic attitude, but without the verve and energy of fire these things ring hollow. Without people like you to motivate others–to light a fire under them–they will just ‘go through the motions’.

Health still needs more watching–especially after the 23rd. Like last month, enhance your health by resting and relaxing more and working to a rhythm. Try to alternate your activities. Pay more attention to your heart and small intestine. Be more mindful on the 1st and drive defensively. Avoid risk-taking activities. Mind your temper.

Job-seekers had many opportunities last month and this trend continues in the month ahead. But last month your work planet went retrograde on the 20th and will be retrograde until the 12th of this month. Job opportunities need more study. Job changes as well. After the 12th judgement should be clearer about these things.

With Saturn camping out on an eclipse point all month there are changes in your career. Upheavals happening. There are shakeups in your corporate hierarchy and in your industry. Parents and parent figures are experiencing personal dramas, too. But these shakeups are helping you–opening doors for you. Be alert.

This month the planetary power shifts–and in a dramatic way–from the lower to the upper half of the horoscope. In fact, by the 23rd 90 per cent of the planets will be in the upper half–a huge percentage. This is the time to pursue your career goals. By now your family situation should be more stable, and you can serve them best by being successful in the world.

On the 23rd, as the Sun enters Libra, you enter a yearly social peak. For singles there are many love opportunities–more dating, parties and going out. Those already in a relationship are having their relationships tested. The best way to save a current marriage is to make it your number-one priority–almost your mission in life. Anything less will not do it.

Best Days Overall: 3, 4, 11, 12, 21, 22, 30, 31

Most Stressful Days Overall: 1, 2, 7, 8, 13, 14, 28, 29

Best Days for Love: 1, 7, 8, 9, 18, 19, 28

Best Days for Money: 1, 2, 9, 10, 18, 19, 23, 24, 28, 29

Best Days for Career: 7, 16, 13, 14, 26

You are still in a yearly social peak until the 23rd. There is a romantic opportunity with someone older or a boss on the 1st and 2nd. A child of appropriate age has a wonderful career opportunity or has some career success at his or her present job.

There is still a need to make your marriage, current relationship and social life your main mission in life. This will bring social success.

Venus makes a rare retrograde on the 8th. Thus, this is a good period to review your love and social life and see where improvements can be made. As mentioned, this is not a time (from the 8th onwards) to make important love decisions. Often we meet seemingly exciting people under this retrograde, but don’t get swept off your feet–go slow and steady in love. There is no rush.
