Your Personal Horoscope 2016

Uranus, still in your 1st house, shows that you need to get comfortable with change and apparent instability. As in previous years, your challenge is to make change your friend. Don’t resist it, flow with it. Change brings insecurity, but in the end it is good. Uranus is about breaking attachments – and we all have many. Attachment to a person, a job, a situation, a physical kind of appearance. These attachments hold us back. We should be happy when they’re broken.

Pluto in your 10th house shows more involvement with death and death issues. The cosmos is educating you about these things and they do need to be understood better. They do not need to be feared, but understood. When this happens, life goes better. Fear of death is perhaps the main obstruction to freedom and to our heartfelt goals.

Jupiter in your 6th house at the beginning of the year will show you the power of prayer in health issues. You respond well to this. Prayer changes the vibration of the body. It changes the mental attitude.

You begin your year in a yearly career peak. The power of your 10th house of career is really the main headline of the month. Half of the planets are either in or moving through the 10th house this month. (At least 70 and often 80 per cent of the planets are above the horizon as well.) This is a month for career success. Much progress is being made; pay rises, promotions and more recognition for your professional abilities are happening. (Sometimes a pay rise is covert rather than official, but management does things that increase your income – often through perks or other moves.)

With the planetary momentum forward this month, you should see faster progress to your career and other goals. Normally, strong forward planetary motion would make this an excellent period for starting new projects or launching new products. But in your case it is best to wait until after your birthday.

Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, has been in your 7th house since November 13 of last year. So you have been very active socially – and quite popular. You’ve been there for your friends and beloved. You’ve put their interests first. But this is starting to taper off this month. The planetary power started to shift to the Eastern sector last month and this month on the 24th the shift gets even stronger. On the 4th Mars leaves your 7th house and enters the 8th house of transformation and regeneration. Your social goals are more or less achieved. You have been ‘people pleasing’ for a quite a while and now it is time to think of number one. Self-interest is often confused with selfishness. It is considered something ‘evil’. But sometimes the best way we can help others or be useful to others, is to achieve our personal goals – to be personally happy. Your interests are no less important than other people’s. You’re in a cycle where you need to focus more on yourself. You have great personal power (and it will grow in coming months). You have the power to create your own happiness – to create conditions in your life that please you. It’s up to you to use it, and to use it properly. It is time to be more independent and self-reliant.

Though this social life is tapering off, the month ahead looks socially active. The Moon will spend five days in your 7th house this month (usually she spends only two there), indicating there is more socializing from home and with the family. On the 24th the love planet Venus enters your 10th house, showing more socializing with people of high status and prestige. Your social skills enhance your career.

Health needs watching until the 20th. Be sure to get enough rest.

February

Best Days Overall: 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 20, 21

Most Stressful Days Overall: 5, 6, 18, 19, 25, 26

Best Days for Love: 5, 6, 13, 14, 25, 26

Best Days for Money: 5, 6, 13, 14, 22, 23, 24, 25

Best Days for Career: 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 12, 20, 21

Health and energy are much improved this month. You can enhance them further by giving more attention to the spine, knees, teeth and bones until the 14th. Back and knee massage and regular visits to a chiropractor or osteopath will be beneficial. After the 14th give more attention to the ankles and calves. Regular massage will do wonders. You will also benefit from new, cutting edge therapies after this date.

Career is still good, although not as active as the past two months. Pay rises are still likely (if they haven’t happened yet). Bosses, elders and parent figures are sympathetic to your financial goals. Your financial judgement is sound as well. You get good value for your money and aren’t likely to overpay for things. You have a good long-term, conservative perspective on wealth (something Aries needs desperately). The 5th to the 8th are good days for paying down debt. But if you need to borrow, this period is good for that too. Your financial planet makes beautiful aspects to Jupiter from the 9th to the 11th and this brings a nice payday. There is financial good luck.

Mars has been in your 8th house since January 4 and will remain there for the rest of the month ahead. This is a sexually active kind of month. Whatever your age or stage in life, the libido is stronger than usual. The important thing is not to overdo it. Mars in your 8th house is an excellent aspect for detox regimes and weight loss programmes – if you need them. You seem unusually active in the financial affairs of your spouse, partner or current love.

The love life seems happy this month too. From the 5th to the 8th there is great passion with the beloved. Singles have sexual opportunity. From the 9th to the 11th there are happy romantic and social opportunities and singles can meet someone special during that period. Those already in a relationship have more romance in their relationship. On the 17th Venus enters your 11th house of friends and group activities. Singles find love opportunities in the online world, on online dating or social media sites. This is a good time to get involved in group activities or organizations too.

Be more patient with children or children figures in your life from the 4th to the 6th. You don’t seem in synch. Children and children figures have excellent romantic and social aspects this month.

March

Best Days Overall: 1, 2, 10, 11, 18, 19, 28, 29

Most Stressful Days Overall: 3, 4, 16, 17, 23, 24, 31

Best Days for Love: 6, 7, 16, 23, 24, 26, 27

Best Days for Money: 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 16, 21, 22, 26, 27, 31

Best Days for Career: 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 18, 19, 28, 29, 31

The planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward this month. On the 20th the Sun moves into your sign, Aries, the best starting energy of the zodiac. Many of you, especially if your birthday is from March 20 to March 31, are in an excellent period for starting new projects or launching new products. After your birthday is best.

The month ahead will be eventful. Two eclipses ensure this. Of the two, the lunar eclipse of the 23rd affects you most strongly – especially those of you born between the 20th and the 25th. Take it nice and easy. Spend more quiet time at home. Read a good book or watch a nice movie. There is no need to be your Aries daredevil self during this period.

The solar eclipse of the 9th (in America it happens on the 8th) occurs in your 12th house. This indicates changes in spiritual practices and attitudes. Since you’re in a very spiritual kind of month until the 20th, these changes most likely come from new revelations that happen. This eclipse also shows upheavals – disturbances – and life-changing kinds of events in spiritual or charitable organizations you’re involved with. There are dramas in the lives of guru figures too. Every solar eclipse affects your children or the children figures in your life. They should stay out of harm’s way during this period and take life more easy. Life-changing kinds of events are happening with them and although they will turn out well, while they happen things can be frenetic.

The lunar eclipse of the 23rd occurs in your 7th house of love. This will test your current relationship. Be more patient with the beloved during this period as he or she is apt to be more temperamental than usual. Sometimes this is because of personal dramas in their own lives, sometimes it is just the cosmic energy. Good relationships survive these things and get even better. But flawed ones can be in trouble. Every lunar eclipse affects the home and family and this one is no different. Be more patient with family members too. Often there are dramas in the home – sudden repairs, or changes that need to be made. If you’ve got mice or other ‘underworld critters’ in the home, this is when you usually find out about them. There can be dramas in the lives of family members.

Health is good this month. Until the 5th you can enhance it through calf and ankle massage. From the 5th to the 22nd give more attention to the feet – foot massage is especially powerful – and from the 22nd onwards, scalp and face massage is beneficial.

Job seekers have good fortune from the 22nd onwards.

Last month on the 20th, the Sun entered your sign and you entered one of your yearly personal pleasure peaks. This is a wonderful time to get the body and image in shape and enjoy all the pleasures of the senses – as long as you don’t overdo it. This is a happy kind of month.

The planets are now in their Easternmost position. Thus you are at the maximum extent of your personal power and independence. You can easily create the conditions of life that please you – and you should. There’s no need to adapt to the world – the world will adapt to you. Following your bliss – though it seems selfish – will actually benefit all those around you. It will, in subtle ways, bless all of life.

Love is happy this month – especially now that the dust from last month’s lunar eclipse is settling. The 7th and 8th could be stressful, but after that things look smooth. Venus moves into your sign on the 5th and stays there for the rest of the month. Like most things in your life, you’re having your way in love. The current love puts you first and caters to you. Singles don’t have to do much to attract love – love finds you. Just go about your daily business. The 11th and 12th look especially good for love. Children or children figures in your life are also having a good romantic month – the 9th and 10th are especially good for them. Young children are meeting new friends and having happy social experiences.

With your 1st house very powerful all month, you look good. You have star quality and charisma. The eyes sparkle, the gestures are graceful. You dress with style – and probably expensively. This is a great month to buy clothing or personal accessories. Your sense of style is excellent now.

April is also a prosperous month. Venus crossing your Ascendant on the 5th brings money and financial opportunity. There could be a temporary financial disturbance – perhaps an unexpected expense – on the 7th or 8th, but it doesn’t affect overall prosperity. Financial opportunity is seeking you out this month. On the 19th the Sun enters your money house and you begin a yearly financial peak. The 22nd and 23rd bring sudden, unexpected money. You have the favour of the money people in your life these days.

Health and energy are very good this month. Until the 6th you can enhance them further through head and face massage. From the 6th onwards neck massage is good.

On April 5, as Venus moved into your 1st house, the planetary power shifted. Most of the planets are now below the horizon of your Horoscope. Your 10th house of career is still strong – so career is important, but it can be downplayed now. The next five or so months should be devoted to getting the home and emotional life in right order. These are the hidden foundations upon which one builds a career. These need tending now. So, handle what needs to be handled in your career, but your main thrust is to find and function from your emotional comfort zone. When this is found, the career will naturally prosper in due course.

You’re still very much in a yearly financial peak, until the 20th. Your money house is very powerful – and chock-full of beneficent planets. This is a period for happy money – money that is earned in happy and enjoyable ways. Your personal creativity is more marketable now. You have the financial favour of the spouse or current love – and of friends. Your social connections are more important than how much money you have. You end the month wealthier than you began it. The 2nd to the 4th and the 10th and 11th are nice paydays. There is luck in speculations those days.

Health and energy are still very good. With energy all kinds of vistas open up to us – things that seemed impossible when energy was low. Like last month, you can enhance it further through neck massage and craniosacral therapy. Tension in the neck needs to be released.

Mars, the ruler of your chart, started to retrograde on April 17 and will be in retrograde motion for the whole month ahead. This is really the only major complication right now. You have energy, health, money and love – you just lack direction. This is a time for gaining mental clarity about who you are and where you want to go. From the 7th to the 14th – a whole week! – Mars has his solstice. Mars pauses in the heavens. This pause is in latitude not longitude. Mars will stay in the same latitude. This could make you feel that your life is on ‘pause’. It might be a good idea to take a break from the usual routine. It is a good time for parties and festivities, and especially good for spiritual work.

Venus will be in your money house until the 24th. Singles are attracted to the wealthy – the good providers – the givers of material gifts. Love is practical during that period. You show love in material ways and this is how you feel loved. On the 24th Venus enters Gemini, your 3rd house of communications, and good communication starts to become important in love.

June

Best Days Overall: 1, 8, 9, 18, 19, 27, 28

Most Stressful Days Overall: 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22

Best Days for Career: 1, 8, 9, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28

There’s more to love than just physical chemistry and material baubles, and you are learning this now. Mental intimacy is very important in love, and if this is lacking even the richest person will not satisfy. This month – especially until the 18th – love is about communication. Sharing ideas. The thought process of the person must be alluring. You value intelligence over beauty and wealth. Thus you’re attracted to intellectual types these days, to writers, journalists, teachers and mental workers. Love opportunities for singles happen in educational settings – at lectures, seminars, workshops or school functions, perhaps even at the library or bookshop. Your search for intelligence can lead you way outside your normal social sphere, especially from the 13th to the 29th. Love is close to home this month, but even in your own neighbourhood, you find people outside your normal sphere.

On the 18th the needs in love change again. Venus enters the sign of Cancer, your 4th house. Now you look for emotional intimacy. You gravitate to those with whom you can easily share your feelings. This too could lead you outside your normal sphere. There is more moodiness in love during this period. The kind of mood you’re in defines whether love is happy or unhappy. This moodiness can be with you or with the partner – sometimes both. Don’t be surprised if an old flame comes back into the picture. Sometimes it is the actual person, sometimes it is someone who reminds you of the old flame. Usually this goes nowhere (but not always), but the good thing is that old love issues get resolved.

The financial intuition needs more verification on the 2nd and 3rd. Be careful of overspending on the 3rd and 4th. A financial disturbance on the 8th and 9th is only short term and not the problem that it seems to be at first. Financial intuition is excellent on the 27th and 28th. In finance, as in love, you’re going outside your normal sphere in search of earnings – especially from the 13th to the 29th. Family and especially a parent or parent figure is more supportive from the 18th onwards. Family connections are playing an important role too.

Overall health is good, but you should rest and relax more from the 21st onwards. The most important thing is to get enough rest and maintain high energy levels. Health can be further enhanced by neck massage until the 13th, and through arm and shoulder massage after that date. Avoid too much talking and thinking during this period as it just wastes sorely needed energy. If you do think and talk, keep it positive.

Last month on the 21st the Sun moved into your 4th house and will spend most of the month ahead in this house. This shows many things. Career issues can be downplayed (your career planet, Saturn, has been retrograde since late March). This is a time to focus on the home and family and get this in right order. It is an excellent period – especially until the 12th – to redecorate, paint and beautify the home. It is a better time for cosmetic changes than for heavy repairs. It’s also a good period in which to buy objects of beauty for the home (if you need them). Getting the family relations right will not only help you later in your career, but it also improves the love life and finances.

But there’s much more to power in the 4th house than these mundane issues. Most people are held back in life because of old emotional baggage. Old traumas that might still be active, or negative memories – or more scientifically, destructive records in the memory body. When these get activated they produce negative states of mind – fear, worry, anger, grief, etc. Many so-called sicknesses (the symptoms of sickness) have their roots in the memory body. So, every year, the cosmos, in its wisdom, arranges natural therapy. It arranges for old memories to arise again so that they can be dealt with and resolved from the present state of mind. Opinions that were made, for example, at the age of three under some trauma or stress are not necessarily ‘truth’. The three-year-old made opinions from a three-year-old state of mind. When these are looked at from the present they are seen to be false and thus can be discharged and rendered harmless. It is OK for the three-year-old to form three-year-old opinions, but it’s not so good when a forty-year-old holds these opinions.

So your feelings of nostalgia, your dreams of the past, your encounters with people from your past are all part of a therapeutic agenda. Old issues will get resolved and you’ll be ready to move forward to your next step. When you can think of a past trauma or past relationship and smile and be emotionally calm, you know you’re healed.

Those of you undergoing therapy should make very good progress this month.

Health still needs watching this month until the 20th. As always, the most important thing is to get enough rest. If you have any pre-existing conditions, these can seem worse at this period, but more rest should clear the issue. You can enhance the health through better diet and psychological therapies, until the 14th. After that give more attention to the heart. Happiness itself is a great healing force, as you will learn after the 14th. A night out on the town might do you as much good as a visit to the doctor.

You have been in an independent state of mind since the beginning of the year. On June 21 the planetary power shifted from the independent East to the social West. Hopefully, by now, you’ve used your enhanced personal power to create pleasing conditions for yourself. But now it is time to let go of self-interest and focus on others. It’s time to take a vacation from yourself. The planetary power is moving away from you and towards others. Your personal abilities are not the issue these days. Likeability, your ability to get on with others, is the most important thing. Your social skills will bring you what pure ability can’t, so it is time to develop these skills. Your good is dependent on others and their goodwill. Put others first and your own good will come to you very naturally.

On July 20 the Sun entered your 5th house of fun and creativity and you began a yearly personal pleasure peak. This goes on until the 22nd of this month. It is time to enjoy life. Time to have some fun. Time to enjoy the money that you have and spend it on leisure activities (according to what you can afford). It is time to be more creative too. You have special abilities to handle children and children figures in your life these days too. There is much we can learn from them – especially on how to enjoy life. It is said that an adult can’t really enjoy life to the fullest. The adult has too many cares, worries and plans. It is the child that is truly joyous. This is a good month to get more in touch with your inner child.

Love is happy this month. You have been more carefree about it since mid-July. Even children and children figures in your life are having a happy social life. If they are of appropriate age, romance is likely – especially on the 15th and 16th. For singles there are happy romantic opportunities from the 26th to the 28th. For those already in a relationship this period shows more romance within the relationship.

You’ve had wonderful job aspects all year, and this month they get even better. Job seekers have good fortune and even those already employed can have offers of better jobs.

Health is good this month. After the 20th you seem very focused here, which makes it a very good period to get your health regime in order. If you’re making important changes make them before the 30th, when Mercury, your health planet, starts to retrograde.

Speculations have been favourable since July 12. However, after the 5th money comes the old-fashioned way through hard work – generally through your job. Extra money can be earned through ‘side jobs’ from the 5th onwards (and these opportunities will come).
