Discipline is not your strong suit, Aries. Quite frankly, if life does not happen fast enough, you usually grow impatient and move on to the next thing. But 2018 brought a shift in you. Not only have you learned to work through struggles in order to reach your aims, you have gained patience, focus, and restraint along the way – especially on the career front. 

2019 sees more of the same, dear Ram. Only this time, without much resistance on your part. In fact, the year begins with a set of eclipses; a solar eclipse on January 5th bringing career development (activity that will come with a lot of responsibility), and a lunar eclipse on January 21st bringing a completion of activity around creative projects, children, or artistic pursuits. 
These eclipses will feed one another. Some of you may be coming off of family leave to go back to work. Some of you may be launching creative projects that bring professional advancement. No matter how this energy unfolds, a new kind of discipline will be required.

Career developments will continue throughout the spring, and the entire year will see you expanding your vocation and training by stepping outside of your comfort zone. Broadened pursuits feature. But there will be a few hiccups in March. With so much emphasis on your career, it is possible that you begin to run out of steam. Your birthday season will be worth celebrating, of course. But you may have a rather quiet gathering, too tired for a big event. If you are contemplating a big decision, or in need of more rest given your hectic work schedule, lie low. April will see you back to your old self. 

Money matters will also be a focus this spring, as you consider ways to better manage your finances by identifying new and/or multiple streams of income. This influence began back in 2018, encouraging you to free up your resources so that you can invest in what is of value to you. Paying down debt, and identifying passive income, are examples of how to gain financial freedom. 

Meanwhile, the summer months look to be exciting all round, as two more eclipses peak in July. The solar eclipse on July 2nd brings a new start on the home and family front, while the lunar eclipse on July 16th sees a shift of activity on the career front. A chapter ending is in store at work, which will allow you to get back to the business of navigating domestic matters and planting seeds. Family milestones and creative ventures are highlighted. So too is relocation. 

With that said, mid-July through August could bring delays. DIY projects around the house may be prolonged. If you are expecting or opening your home to family, this, too, may necessitate adjustments. Obstacles should resolve by the end of August, so no big family decisions. 

The fall comes with heightened activity around artistic endeavors, romantic pursuits, and your schedule overall. These will be fertile months that affect your quality of life. If expecting, health changes may be necessary. Same is true if incorporating a new love affair into your day-to-day. 

As we close out the year, extracurriculars will give way to commitments and mergers. A new partnership is possible; financial or contractual agreements are also under review. November sees delays to negotiations. Don’t be too quick to sign on the dotted line. Negotiations are favored in December.

The year ends with a solar eclipse on December 26th and Jupiter’s transit of Capricorn igniting career developments! 2019 sees you working and playing hard; expect gains and success along the way.

2018 brings major shifts for everyone dear Ram, your sign included. The planet of shock and revolution will leave the constellation of Aries by mid-year, ending a seven-year cycle of rebellion against your life as you know it! A desire for freedom and autonomy to do your own thing, on your own terms, has made you restless; I hope you were able to liberate yourself in some way. There is still time in the New Year before a new cycle that involves financial independence gets underway.

The year begins with much happening on the career front. If you have been doing the work to further your professional aims, you will soon be challenged to apply what you have learned. These challenges will remain in effect for the next couple of years, and they beg the need for you to be more disciplined and focused to reach career ambitions. Setbacks are possible, and it will be difficult for you to assert your own agenda. Be patient throughout, and remember your ultimate goal.

Eclipses leading into February serve as a chapter ending and beginning. You may find yourself in a new work setting or organizational environment, and should benefit greatly. Of course, starting fresh may require leaving behind a friend, a creative venture, or even a child if returning to work from family leave. The same is true in romance; some element of your personal life will culminate so that you can join with others. There may be a little back and forth on how best to work through these changes, especially with Mercury Retrograde occurring in your sign March-April. Consider your options, and remain patient if your efforts are thwarted. The end of April brings forward momentum.

By the end of spring, financial matters will be of sharper focus. A sudden shift is possible around money, property and possessions, and it will foreshadow what’s to come as changes occur affecting your personal and financial security. This would be a good time to get your money affairs in order.
Meanwhile, three eclipses rock our world this summer, while Mars retrograde (the planet that rules your sign) adds fireworks. As you continue to settle into new group dynamics or company mergers, efforts to fit in, build friends, or use your connections for support may be blocked. This will feel frustrating, and you will be challenged to find another way. But find another way you will; be mindful not to over exert your energy beginning June through the end of August.

A new beginning on the home front, along with a possible new romance or creative venture, could serve as a reprieve while everything else is up in the air. There may be minor delays with children, recreational pursuits, or the launch of a love affair in August. But all will work to your advantage by the time we reach the Autumn Equinox.

Come fall, career and networking obstacles from the summer will be resolved, and shared resources will come up for review. There is a lot of luck-filled expansion in this area the entire year. But October through November brings a re-assessment around financial commitments, business mergers, contract agreements, and emotional ties. Avoid confirming new partnerships until the end of the year.

As 2018 wanes, your attention will shift to higher aims. How do you want to explore the world, expand your education, and broaden your vocation? These questions will be up for consideration with some back and forth. Even travel delays are possible in December. But this will be a precursor to what’s in store next year. You are set to end the year, feeling the holiday cheer, and ready to go another round in 2019!

Happy New Year, Aries!

The past few years have brought much in the way of change, Aries. At times, it may have felt as if you were rebelling against your own life, breaking free of the “status quo” in all areas – love, career, finances, etc. The resulting instability has been palpable; I am sure you would agree that there have been several close calls of life unraveling. This theme continues throughout 2017, only this time, you know exactly how to handle whatever comes your way. By 2018, this seven-year cycle of change and abruptness will come to an end; might as well finish strong!
 
The year begins with a lot of back and forth on the career front. Whether you are negotiating a salary, interviewing for a new position, or simply working on a big proposal at the office, you can expect delays and communication glitches. None of this is good or bad, it just is, dear Ram. So be patient and wait; February will bring progress. The same is true if you are completing a training course that could increase your earning potential, there may be some delays while you wait to receive your final grade or certification.
 
In fact, learning in general is highlighted this year. Whether you are enrolled in a degree program, or gaining knowledge through travel and cultural pursuits, your mind and personal philosophies are sure to expand. Of course, this may bring a new set of challenges. If you are in an educational environment, you may have to be more focused and disciplined when it comes to your studies. It is equally possible that your own personal beliefs begin to limit you from stepping outside of your comfort zone. Pay attention to where you are being too narrow-minded, Aries. Don’t be afraid to broaden your awareness and understanding.
 
Eclipses this year will also initiate new chapter beginnings. A romance or creative project may shift or reach completion in February, leading you to deeper insights and clarity around love, children, and you own self-identity when it comes to authentic living. Information revealed now could help you to “get things right” with regards to your own artistry and affairs of the heart as we reach Eclipses in August. You may decide to walk away from a long-standing organization or affiliation, so that you can invest in the projects and people that bring you joy.
 
In between Eclipses, however, will be some rather jolty energy. March and April will see you reevaluating everything from future life goals, to your look, style, and personal sense of security. You may feel low confidence during these months, and question everything! Be patient as you work out what needs working out – May and June will be better months to move forward with your plans. 
 
The end of year period brings two new turning points around commitments. The planet Jupiter will enhance your love life through most of 2017, with a few low points from February through June. But by the time October comes around, you may be saying “I do” to a new love interest, or cementing a merger in a business partnership. Meanwhile, the Winter Solstice comes with an omen by the name of Saturn (the ringed planet) that will push you to shift focus on career matters. 2018 will be a challenging year when it comes to your vocation and sense of purpose. You’ve got the next 12 months to create a clearer vision for your life – good luck!

Your desire for freedom to do as you please remains a theme in 2015, Aries. Many of you have already experienced some level of chaos as a result, and the lessons learned center on your ability to create better structures for your life. Authority figures continue to make personal transitions difficult, while financial restrictions have also contributed. It’s been quite the whirlwind to say the least, but your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

The beginning of the year would be an opportune time to network and link up with like-minded folks who can push you towards your dreams for the future. Your social calendar may be full, and don’t be surprised if certain connections go MIA, or can no longer deliver on what they’ve promised. March is when you will see forward movement either way, but it may come with some tension. Demands at work could keep you from pursuing your own goals, which might prove frustrating, but your reaction will make all the difference (expect to make a few adjustments). It would help to use your gut instincts before acting on ambitions in general, which may involve some level of self-restraint. A Solar Eclipse on March 20th could enhance your intuition, clueing you in on the right time to make a bold move.

Meanwhile, April’s Lunar Eclipse in your opposite sign could mark the end of an important association, or deepen it. But whatever you experience, keep in mind that romance will still be highlighted throughout the year (peak energy occurs in late summer). A chance meeting is very possible in September, but you’ll want to hold off until October before committing – your feelings won’t yet be clear. Independent projects in general will provide the inspiration needed to move past limiting relationships, and coupled Aries might even decide to have a baby with a significant other. All in all, fertile energy is available, whether you’re giving birth to a brainchild or a physical one. You may have to go back to the drawing board in August, but results should be positive, nonetheless.

As you move into the end of the year, you will discover that the next learning curve involves expanding your personal truths and philosophies. It’s not enough to simply know what you know; you have to broaden your awareness in order to evolve into who it is you are trying to become. Going back to school or exploring new options that take you out of your comfort zone will be necessary, and once you begin to acknowledge a new truth and philosophy, you will have to start living it. Your ultimate aim is to sate your thirst for growth and knowledge; May and June would be a good time to research different programs that increase your expertise, but wait until July before signing up. By the end of the year, you will notice that daily affairs and responsibilities take up much more of your time. Bigger tasks and a hectic schedule require you to be mindful of your health while succeeding at time management. As you can see, “structure” is your word for the New Year, and it will be necessary if you hope to be liberated from whatever holds you back.

Happy New Year, Aries!
