Aries Weekly ArchivesWeek
WeekWEEK BEGINNING 1ST DECEMBER 2010
“If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you" Nietzsche so rightly said meaning that when you look at evil you can become evil yourself or life’s hardships can literally change you. You need to pay attention to that very prospect happening now, bitterness or despair is hard to shake and then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy “I’ll never find happiness”, and then you never do! But you are not an island so you have to be part of the rat race and subject to the whims of others, good or bad and what happens to them of course affects you. You do feel like you’re carrying the responsibilities for just about everybody and even though you are fantasizing about jumping ship you haven’t quite worked out the finer details. You’ve overlooked one essential fact - that you can put as stop to whatever is bothering you or exert your influence in areas that you think is just not “right”. Emotionally and on the job front you are like an elastic band that has been stretched to breakpoint and when you do, look out! You may be asked to commit to an idea/project that you are deeply against but have little choice in the matter but go along with the flow. Your frustration is palatable and work colleagues are not even hiding the fact that they have issues with you and there will be friction at the workplace. Hold this thought: you have learnt a lot over the trials and challenges for the past few years, you know the lay of the land and you’ve become a very good navigator. You can continue to navigate yourself through these current mine fields and can outplay and outmaneuver, and out-scheme the best of them if you stay focused and calm. You’ve essentially worked out over the past month or so what you want so leave the dirty politics to others (remember that abyss!) and know that by end next week when Uranus gets going again all will be much improved and you will feel 100% better than you do now. The change will start when you can not only identify those next steps, but begin to implement them.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 24TH NOVEMBER 2010
You’ve been feeling a bit like Atlas carrying the weight of the world around on your shoulders or the poor Camel waiting for the proverbial final straw to get added – the one that breaks your back. Only you won’t be breaking per se – you’re way too resilient for that - but you will be heading for the hills before too long. The Hills have Eyes was a movie I saw on video the other night and pretty soon those “eyes” will be Arian ones as you literally head for the hills! We all know that life hasn’t been a bed of roses for you, there’s been quite a few thorns in there as well but put your protagonists on notice and tell them this “the thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom”. Then they will know that they are dealing with a dynamic and courageous Arian with the strongest will power in the zodiac and no one should ever forget that. And nor will they when it’s your turn in the sun… But before you’re released from your labors, you can have a bit of fun or create a bit of havoc. That’s not to say that life isn’t going to continue to be taxing and restrictive. It is. However there is a very strong likelihood of some kind of romantic plot going on, either a secret lover or an additional interest – whatever you make of that one – or simply and “interesting” social life. Alternatively you could be arranging to get away - and with your adventurous streak this is the most likely - with some friends, maybe two of the opposite/same sex depending on your orientation. An exotic locale is a great environment to foster romantic interest and you will be either booking a journey to somewhere this week or at the very least pursuing the travel section of the newspaper! Then again this three-way deal could relate to a more prosaic topic – work - where you are the liaison between two parties and a bit like the meat in the sandwich are stuck between opposing interests. Irrespective I can tell you that the blandness (quelle horreur) and restrictions of your life are soon to ease. Even thought this week is quite demanding (what’s new?) there will be a breakthrough in the area of your life that has been limiting your options and dampening your freedom. It will be significant and will bring a very big and genuine smile to your face.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 17TH NOVEMBER 2010
Is it you or is it them and does it really matter? Perhaps it’s simply that you’re tired of attempting to explain away all the vagaries of life and given up trying. You do fail to understand why people act the way they do and essentially have become slap-happy by all the things that have gone wrong in your life over time. But whatever it is, just when you got to the stage when you no longer really care what happens and have all but resigned yourself to the inevitable, voilà your life starts to improve. Go figure. Have you ever noticed that the minute you give up on finding love you go out and that very night meet that certain someone? Perhaps it’s like catnip, you don’t realize you are giving off a certain vibe, but everyone else can pick up on it. In other words you have to genuinely feel something in order to convince others. Well that’s happened and you even have a few people running scared unsure of how to handle you. It’s not that you’re a loose canon (yet!) but you have decided to take over steering your own ship, only it’s no longer metaphorical or in your imagination about how you’d like it to be – it’s a reality. You are doing it and as a result your aims and ambitions this will start bearing fruit. It’s D-day on at least one, maybe two pending matters and this is the time to finally bite the bullet and finish the matter (which may related to property, a family/relationship issue, or some kind of joint finances). For those Arians who have their issues tied up with family issues this week will be hot and heavy with rather “forceful” exchanges along the way. There will be some interesting revelations and a bit of “playing one off against the other” going on. Some Arians will be having “deep and meaningful’s” with their romantic other halves that will be messier and convoluted that you would like. None of the above is a problem for you per se as the Cosmos is finally on your side for a change and as just like the old saying goes “it won’t happen overnight, but it will happen’. Try and view the awkward moments this week as necessary “weeding” so that the financial and emotional gardens of your life can flourish and SB promises there will be a marked improvement on all fronts very shortly (i.e. from tomorrow onwards in increasing increments). In fact on the romance front you will be HOT and in demand, even exes will want to wend their way back – and you can confidently say farewell to any residue sadness and/or romantic uncertainty for quite some time. One proviso though; do try to avoid impulse spending this week. There will be a strong temptation of “I have to have it” but it’s subconscious and more of a self esteems booster/reward for having survived the rigors of life over the past months. Whilst it’ll be great to have the designer coat or the Calloway golf clubs it won’t be so great when it’s time to pay so just make sure you really need it. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 10TH NOVEMBER 2010
You will be liaising with others over a joint property or financial matter and it’s not a new situation for you. You may have gone down this road previously (either a long time back and it’s come around again) or you’ve been dealing with this particular matter for quite some time. In fact it looks more like a three-way, you/your spouse and the bank manager; or you and parents - or other authority figures – your bosses? You are being told that not only do you have to join forces with another/others but also you will have to compromise and/or accept their viewpoint and it is this that you are resisting. It is not in your best interests and there will be a swing against you in support if you persist in your (as it turns out) erroneous views about this situation. For example if it’s a property they may sell to someone else and so on… You are being called upon to demonstrate rationality and practicality this week. It could be a joint legal arrangement with many parties but whatever it is you have to be conciliatory and go along with it - even if it’s kicking and screaming - to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. There will be much discussion; exchanges of views and swapping of paperwork and you will be pressed for answers on a number of points. The information that you provide will be scrutinized and this won’t be the most comfortable of your communications this week and some of your previous decisions will be questioned. You have no real choice but to go along with the flow and it will ultimately be more beneficial for you in the long run (even if it doesn’t appear that way now) because once you’ve put this matter behind you, you’re free to get on with the job of making all the positive changes that you want to make for you! Next year is going to be a winner for you, so clear the decks for all the fabulous changes coming your way and get ready to receive them.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 3RD NOVEMBER 2010
Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them. You’ve got Cosmic support that indicates that even though you are up against it in one area, you are promised an achievement in another. Whilst it’s true your communication skills now are not exactly at their peak, due to an underlying concern that preoccupies your thoughts, you will be able to make progress on the financial front. This might not be as obvious as a marked increase in income, but then again it might) but rather improved circumstances that are put in place now that will protect and/or further your interests in the future. This assistance will come from someone who is an integral part of your world, an individual or a group who plays a central role in your life. If you go with the flow and allow yourself to be guided and more hands off than you usually are, you’ll see the best results. Perhaps it’s simply the Bank Manager giving you a loan, but you get the drift. There may be some questions that will be asked of you that will be uncomfortable, especially if you have been found wanting in some area or fallen short of ideal behavior. Be open and transparent and don’t try to hide anything, being receptive and honest will create a surprising alliance. Romantically and/or socially there is movement and a three-person relationship that used to drive you mad, suddenly begins to change and become more palatable. This could be the Mother-in-law from hell or a work set up where you vie for the bosses’ imprimatur, friends, or even within your own family. This may even tie in with the above “group”, perhaps you’ve leant to bite the bullet and toe the line to fit in with the needs of others and are enjoying a positive result or alternatively you may decide you want out and “don’t want to play ball anymore” and now have peace! You do seem to have a better handle on what makes others tick (as well as really understanding what you want also), and as knowledge is power so you can literally cash in. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 27TH OCTOBER 2010
You’re thinking about sprucing yourself up, and you’re definitely focusing more than usual about how you look and how you present yourself to others. Does this have a specific reason? Is there someone out there that you’re trying to impress?
You’re feeling quite emotional this week. You are feeling in turns, resentful, judgmental, secretive, unforgiving, pre-occupied with sex, vindictive and willful – wow! This could range from despair from the situation you find yourself stuck in (who do I have to f…k to get off this picture!) to feeling rather keen on someone.
It’s getting harder for you to toe the line no matter what your circumstances and if you’re a twosome you’re feeling bored, at work you’re daydreaming about desert isles and if single visualizing amorous times with Mr./Ms October. Mars in your 8th house will be making you look at greener grass or a “better” life in the future and hence dissatisfaction with your current existence. As a consequence provide there will be “deep and meaning full’s” (profound discussions) with key people in your life who sense your discontent and restlessness and want to get to the bottom of it.
Bosses and co-workers (work is not only a drag, but seeped in frustration) spouses, partners et al will be querying your sullen mood and insist on getting it “all out on the table”, so expect some rather intense discussions.
But I urge you to stay cool. Why? Two reasons. 1) Because conflict with your nearest and dearest IS on the cards and things said now will “set you off” or make an impact on you in some way. Depending on what is said, this will either result in crises (at best) and endings (at worst). 2) By the weekend you’ll be feeling completely differently!
Try and circumnavigate this passage of unrest by expanding your current horizons, get out more and don’t be so hypercritical. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 20TH OCTOBER 2010
It not often when “telling it like it is” is has a nice ring to it, but this week it has! Of course you can’t have it entirely your way, but contrary to what the airlines say, “its not the journey but the destination” that counts right now. Granted, you’ve become the fully fledged “Energizer Bunny” and virtually unstoppable, but you do have to switch to idle every now and then, just to fit in with the needs of others – YES YOU DO!. Hard though isn’t it, especially for a Ram?!
You’re the metaphorical equivalent of a kid in a candy store wanting to clear the shelves. You want a certain “something” so badly and feel positively driven to obtaining it, and yet there are some complications, even secrets that are clouding the horizon. This “something” could be the go ahead on an agreement, a promotion, or even a resolution to a long standing problem but by this weekend you will get a breakthrough.
Round table discussion figure prominently (how are you going to spend your weekend?!) and involves joint assets and/or money – yours or “someone else’s”. It’s a group discussion and could be family, friends or “foes” (work?) - or any mix of above.
You do need to deal reasonably and without rancor even if there is one person in particular you’d love to say “go take a flying leap” to.
Frankly you need them onside - they are either party to your agenda - or are unknowing of the full extent of your dealings (and you want it to REMAIN this way) so bite your tongue and keep your skeletons in the closet…..no matter what they say to you.
But as I’ve said above, even if you do let rip, it’s one of those weeks where you will fall on your feet regardless. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 13TH OCTOBER 2010
“I want to be alone” said the reclusive 1930’s actress Greta Garbo.
Now I’m not saying you’re reclusive but you do want to retreat into your own private world this week to reflect and spend time alone with your thoughts. Ideally you would be “far from the madding crowd” but if you still have to operate as per usual, you will still find time to retire to your corner and contemplate “something”.
What is it? Simply an escape from all the pressure, mapping out your next steps or are you carrying around a deep, dark secret. Ironically it’s going to be harder than usual to do this quite reflection as you will find that you are more in demand than ever and the in-box and voice mail will be filling up with invites.
I told you last week that you’re getting on a roll at last and you will be feeling this with the improved social scene, advances on the business front and even emotionally.
In fact you should have already seen (and if not are about to any day) a significant step forward in one key area. It varies for all of course but for many there are romantic overtones along with business ones. This is because the Cosmos is playing with your romantic liaisons as well as joint finances, which could get very tricky if you don’t play your cards right. Two into three doesn’t go, right?
There is every likelihood that you are thrashing out this very issue in your “down time” and if you feel that there has been (or is) an inequality in your most intimate relationships then before December you will have taken the necessary steps to sort it all out.
I can assure you that everything will pan out in the wash and any agreements that you reach will be in your favour (and to your liking!).
Establish your vision this week and figure out how to place yourself in your ideal world ASAP. “If only” are the two saddest words in the Universe..…. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 6TH OCTOBER 2010
I have good news and bad news…..which one do you want first?
The bad news is that someone will really piss you off this week and you will be at loggerheads with them. There will definitely be a difference of opinion – but more like a full blown argument - and I believe it is closer to home than on the work front. Spouses, in-laws, siblings and lovers all figure in the equation and your anger could be because you feel like you are being pushed into doing something that you simply don’t wish to do.
Now for the good news! You’re on a roll at last. From now until December you should see a marked improvement in your finances and/or position at work. You will be in receipt of a promotion, a bonus, a raise or more money flowing in (commissions?) than has been the case for some time. If you get a job offer or an interesting (and different) post/promotion – or any kind of “proposition”, grab it!
It will lead to wonderful things in the future although the “argument” mentioned above could also relate to a work decision. Someone close to you doesn’t want to move or it impacts on them?
It’s more important than ever to realize that you’re born to be a risk taker and to seize life. You are bold and courageous and don’t like to go along with the ideas of others, especially when you know you are right!
You need to be in the driver’s seat even if it does mean break a few rules along the way…..you have no choice.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 29TH SEPTEMBER 2010
Are you in the mood for love? Silly question, because even if you’re not (for whatever reason), there are warm and amorous vibes heading your way. It’s a sensational time to get out and about as you have a greatly increased chance of meeting that certain someone. You will be attractive to, and attracted by, “someone” and if you are in the relatively early throes of love (this weekend especially) you will be taking it to new heights. Going anywhere?
Even the relationships that are wallowing in monotony can be improved this week and you’ll find yourself being more on the same page and it will be a lot easier to find accord on the basics - like money, child raising, where to live - even “what to have for dinner….”
If the love stuff doesn’t apply to you (for whatever reason), then you will find your friendship(s) altering i.e. - getting stronger or for example someone you haven’t seen in ages calls you and when you do get together, you’ll find the same old wonderful rapport you used to have a long time ago.
At work there will be better teamwork, collaboration and trust. Your whole approach to connecting and getting on with people is undergoing positive influences and you won’t be sweating the small stuff as much. There will be support and cooperation at home, in the office and socially. Sounds good doesn’t it?
If you have an “issue” someone in “authority” or a “legal eagle” will assist you or come up with a solution, and even though other people are “calling the shots” in your financial future you’ll welcome their input. In fact you will look back on this week and remember it as being the turning point in your affairs.
For others you will receive great news or at the very least some positive information that filters through relating to your finances that will thrill you. This could be the nod or the green light that you’ve been hanging out for; but whatever seemed so discouraging recently is back in perspective. At least now you know where you sit -….and it feels comfortable. You will be free to take that next step and not end up impoverished just like you were fretted about a while back. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 22ND SEPTEMBER 2010
Chances are you’re going to make a monumental error this week at work, ranging from a small but damaging mistake to an out and out disaster. There’ll be a loss. Watch your every move, re-read emails and double check everything. Whatever you do, don’t try and cover it up or deny your mistake, honesty is paramount. It’s a testing week so breathe deeply.
In fact tell the truth all week and no white-lies-to-be-kind stuff it’s gone past that especially in your key interpersonal relationships. I’ve been telling you for ages that within a key relationship there is dissension, either you’re not as keen to go home, or you’re not as keen to go to work – or you’re shouldering someone else’s troubles. It could be extended family (an in-law) but it’s ongoing and unpleasant frisson.
A few Arians I know are the meat-in-the-sandwich with YEARS of ongoing friction with an intractable in-law and are really reaching the end of their tether having to be the shoulder to cry on for their increasingly demoralized spouse. Whichever is applicable, you want to get out of the rat race – or at least the one you’re in - and retire as I said this last week - and if you’re too young and/or can’t afford it, then you’ll be seriously looking to change jobs or even careers.
Whatever constructive changes that you make now you will reap the benefits early next year so don’t miss out or be caught napping. You’re an adventurous and courageous Arian, if you want to pull the plug on anything, as Mr. Nike said “just do it”. Nike by the way is the Greek God of victory. On the theme of sport, get into shape or visit the doc so that you’re in prime shape for the pleasures that await you in 2011. That means mental health also, think like a winner and you very soon will be. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 15TH SEPTEMBER 2010
Since Jupiter returned to Pisces a week ago (and is not coming back into Aries until next year) life has felt a bit sluggish. Thankfully Mercury is heading forward again - and so are you - although admittedly not with quite the same drive as you did when Jupiter was giving you that extra momentum.
But if you’ve been waiting with bated breath on pending contracts, new business, or “checks-in-the mail” then all this too will begin moving fluidly again. You even appear more eloquent and believable and what you say is being bought, literally.
Internally though you are craving more in the way of love and affection and what has sufficed up until now in the romance and relationship department may not make the cut anymore. How you spend your days (and especially your nights) is certainly under review and you could well be tired of the rat race. Especially if you are an older Arian, you will be figuring out ways to opt out (and off) of the treadmill.
You appear to be hankering for more peace in your life and perhaps it is the infrastructure of your personal life and how entwined you are with others (and hence your responsibility to them) that is coloring any decision you can make regarding your working life and holding you back. This won’t be a trivial week (or month for that matter) as you are fast approaching some painful disclosures although it’s still to be revealed whether they are about you or someone else. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 8TH SEPTEMBER 2010
You got on a roll for a few months with Jupiter providing the required optimism but if you were too feisty and let the inner rebel out (and are aware you’ve alienated one or two folk over the past few months) then this is an ideal time to repair any damaged relationships. If your working life is inextricably entwined with someone else - and it’s someone you either need or have to work/deal with - then it is in your best interests that you to grease the wheels of communication if they are a tad stuck.
It’s also a good time to re-examine something that either went off the rails a couple of years ago that was quite momentous at the time OR someone who really agitated you (or your domain) either directly or indirectly by their actions in the last couple of months. Whatever it was it created quite a stir and you were obliged to change course because of it. Is there still something that needs to be addressed or acted on in this regard?
Life is quite stimulating at the moment although the word “stimulating” can have many connotations. At least you’ve got some new friends to play with and in this regard life IS fairly pleasing. You’ll also be happy to know that the next few years are surprisingly agreeable for increasing your financial resources irrespective of how, where and in what area you are employed (think more commissions, clients, royalties, bonuses, profit sharing, shared resources and so on).
In fact within your own domain you will be elevating your position on the ladder of success and you will begin to notice this from this week on. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 1ST SEPTEMBER 2010
If life was simple you could make decisions that wouldn’t hurt anyone. But life is not simple nor pain free. Over the past couple of years you appear to have sorted out a few things, namely channeling all those difficult and testing times in your working life into something which is akin to how you want it. Now you need to address the one remaining area that is probably the hardest for you and the one that you’ve been procrastinating about for the longest. In a nutshell what you wanted in the past love-wise or relationship –wise doesn’t appear to match what you want now. This btw can include living next door to a mother-in-law, adult children still living at home and any existing “relationship” arrangement. It’s easy if you are single, but rather more complicated if you are in a long entrenched union. It’s somber and it’s unpalatable but the need to bite the bullet and make a decision presses upon you in each passing week. Now essentially you are just procrastinating and putting off the inevitable but it doesn’t have to be all gloom and doom although for a few of you it’s become downright intolerable. These relationship issues in your life could be with in-laws, government, tax office, or spouse but there are associations which need to be addressed and dealt with sooner or later. Its one thing to bury yourself in work to escape the inevitable confrontation but you can’t keep that up indefinitely now can you? The good news for all you free and available Rams is that your relationship “issue” could be a new and thrilling amour, but interpersonal connections of all kinds are on the agenda for all Aries. You sense that there is a brave new world out there for you in every sense and you want it to be just that – a brave new world. You feel it on every level, see it in the positive changes around you, your expanding mood and lessening burdens. You may feel like relocating or going on a holiday or changing your Diaspora to a whole new set. It’s about broadening your horizons. Now for the wakeup call. Chances are 95% of you are up to your eyeballs with dependants and responsibilities, the mortgage, two car garage and the school fees so you have to find a way to mentally and emotionally to incorporate your new (and very real) aspirations with your very real reality. For the rest, go forth and conquer your brave new world.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 25TH AUGUST 2010
There are still nearly three weeks to go before Mercury goes direct so in the interim take everything that is said this week with a grain of salt to avoid any disappointments as a lot of what is communicated right now will be rescinded.
People with change their mind, courses of action will alter…you get the picture.
Needless to say avoid signing any contracts (work, property, marriage…) if you can help it - even handshake agreements may be suspect and could change down the track.
On that note, you need to be a bit careful about your own communication and how you are coming across. You might not intend to be abrasive but what you say could be misconstrued and if you ARE intending to be hostile it could an interesting week - full of fireworks! But do you really need any additional strife in your life right now? The old adage “more bees with honey’ is a truism but it is hard for you to turn it off when you get riled. Try and think long term, plan ahead for want to achieve in the future whilst you are deflecting the crapola.
Unfortunately there are people that you are impelled to deal with that you either can’t stand or can barely tolerate but if you have any kind of “strategy” going on, you probably need these very people/person onside at some point, either now or in the future. Think about it and how this applies to your situation.
.
You’re dying to have someone really listen to you and take note of what’s bugging you and to “get” what your issues are – especially in business and financial dealings - but this also applies to some of your relationships. There’s one thing about diving into double martinis every night - anaesthetizing yourself won’t remove or solve your problems but it can lead to some hairy situations.
My best advice this week is to act like you are “onside” with your antagonists much as it pains you as it will serve you better in the long run. Try and be patient until the tide turns and in the meantime follow what is generally considered to be the acceptable line of behavior….
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 18TH AUGUST 2010
You definitely feel better than you used to, and there is a sense of greater freedom and flexibility with each week that passes which in turn this helps to make you feel more optimistic - but it’s still a hard grind though.
This week has a déjà vu kind of feel to it. There was a person or set circumstances that really pushed your buttons, either earlier this year or last year. It may even be someone who constantly got under your skin but sometime during this forecast, a throwaway line or a misdirected comment or action, will really set you off. Admittedly there are some deep seated associations at play here. Like a smell that can remind you of someone, whatever occurs will remind you of how much you are at odds with this person or subject.
Depending on your age and individual circumstances you could grin and bear it and “play the game” or completely lose it. It could be work, play or family related.
If you need to “stay in the game” (work or family) then you need to develop a thick skin and methods (restraint and control!) by which you can handle this kind of aggravation. One Arian I know is beholden to a wealthy control freak in-law and her tongue is just about bitten off trying to refrain!
You’ve got determination and staying power by the bucket load so I have no doubt you can tough it out. It’s the tolerance factor I’m concerned about and what might be the consequences of that.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 11TH AUGUST 2010
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy so even if you are being ganged up on at work or at home there is an escape route. You have persevered with someone in your life (work, love, play) through thick and thin, perhaps because circumstances insisted on it via work or by convention i.e. marriage but whatever the reason, you don’t want to play ball anymore. Still there is an intricate infrastructure in place and you have your role to play. Like the Little Dutch Boy you are thinking through how to plug the void if you withdraw without the whole shebang tumbling down and taking you with it. People are relying on you so in spite of what you are privately feeling, outwardly you may even have taken on additional responsibilities. For example at work you could have accepted a promotion or transfer and if you are married you could have gone and bought something additional together all the while wondering if you’ve done the right thing and how to extricate yourself. Unusually you are not sure of your ground and are plagued by uncertainty. There maybe something at risk that you could lose if you made any moves now so you are being cautious but you are not seeing eye-to-eye on a particular issue with someone. You don’t have to be alone in this, a friend or a key person can offer just the sort of support you need if you can get them to see your point of view. There is only so long you can wear the mask.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 4TH AUGUST 2010
I hope you can hold yourself back until the weekend when Venus enters your relationship zone and smoothes things out in your world. You need all the loving resources your can lay your hands on at the moment and at least this will foster an ambiance that gives you a better shot at maintaining some warmth and affection amongst key relationships.
There is much afoot in this area of your life and it’s not something that you can or will ignore. There has been one person that has been your bête noir for years, most likely decades. It could be a boss, spouse, mother-in-law, siblings or partner someone who has been a thorn in your side for as long as you can remember and yet circumstances dictated that you had to grin and bear if for some reason or another. Not anymore! You have every intention to do something about it and each and whilst every one of you in this situation is approaching it in a different way, you are unshackling the chains that have bound you for oh so long.
Some Arians may in fact be madly (and newly) in love but some aspect of the relationship needs urgent attention for whatever reason, others are offloading a tired relationship, some resigning from their jobs, others moving away from in-laws for some peace, and still others severing ties and ceasing communication all together.
You are no longer going to pass “them” that metaphorical stick so that they can beat you over the head with it. You may do this in one fell swoop or in stages, or hold off until Saturday (Venus!) when you can perhaps strike a more amiable and workable arrangement, especially if other people are impacted by your exit or surprisingly hard decisions.
You are definitely talking the talk this week (some are walking the walk) and at best you are trying very hard to win someone over to your way of thinking.
Let’s hope that’s all it is….
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 28TH JULY 2010
Aries has always been a sign that others may have thought of as self centered but that is only because you are an independent and adventurous soul. Right now the people in your world are not quite sure what to make of you as you continue to change before their very eyes.
The big area of concern for those closest to you is where they stand with you now. If they have been less than the ideal partner then you are going to do something about that now. Anyone who pisses you off is going to be binned pretty quickly including your nearest and dearest – especially if that description isn’t a true reflection of the relationship. Conversely if you have a strong relationship you will defend them with your life, that’s part of your nature but you will become a lot less willing to compromise on just about everything.
You are looking at everyone in a different light and not taking them on face value anymore. Even friends (and so called friends) that you had utmost faith in previously, you will query their actions if they give you cause to and you will be pulling back from some. In fact all the emotional connections in your life, your friends, lovers (ex, current and fledgling) are under the microscope and God help those who you consider to be your adversaries!
You will find some of your friendships strained and you will get into a few head to heads with various folk this week, particularly work associates. This is one area that is proving grist for the mill and affording you some rather tense moments and for those who are unemployed this week, this will be particular aggrieving also.
Try and establish a mental and emotional approach that both defends you and lessens your heightened aggravation but still manages to look after your psyche at the same time. You are looking and thinking about people and situations in a whole different light and you can no longer ignore the situations that you find unacceptable and your ability to want to deal with them in a conciliatory manner has lessened considerably also.
You are putting yourself first now and people and situations that cause you anxiety literally will be dispensed with either temporarily or forever and a lot of Arians are wiping the slate clean.
And for those people who begin to think you’ve become totally unreasonable (or gone completely around the bend) then they will be gotten rid of as well! You’re not just living close to the edge now you are almost off the plate!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 21ST JULY 2010
From Thursday onwards you will give a big exhale. Say hello to some of the biggest changes in your life and now that Saturn is exiting Virgo you will be feeling not only less stressed but confident and positive.
For some that this is applicable to, you have finally identified your exit strategy, whilst others who have been slaving away on various endeavors with little or no reward will start to see signs that you are on the right track. You are forming partnerships now, collaborating and networking – teamwork is effortless - and it seems as if you are in alignment with the world whereas previously you were literally head butting everyone.
The mental, emotional and career blocks that have hampered your progress have dissipated and now that you no longer need to sidestep them, your progress forward picks up speed and gains momentum. You have become an Aries again in the true sense, courageous, adventurous and optimistic, radiating magnetism and brimming with enthusiasm.
You have turned a corner and will never succumb to or be plagued by doubt, uncertainty or fear to the degree that you have in the past three years. In fact you will be brutally truthful now without fear of the consequences and no longer mask or hold in check your powerful competitive streak.
The major change developing now is your need for connectiveness in an intimate sense. With Saturn moving into your house of relationships you are keen to hook up if you are single and in spite of your innate need for freedom you long not only for the excitement of an explosive attraction but your idea of creating a successful place in the world includes someone to play with and share your passions.
As for the rest, let’s hope your marriages are rooted in true friendship, have the requisite intellectual chemistry and above all remain active and playful otherwise….did I mention exit strategies earlier?
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 14TH JULY 2010
It’s the same theme this week as for the past few weeks; leaving the excruciating passage behind once and for all. Most Arians have copped the worst of the cosmos vexations - you were Atlas carrying around the world on your back and it’s been a memorable chapter in your lives - for all the wrong reasons!
You’ve well and truly paid your dues to all and sundry and its time to start reaping some compensation for the hardship times. I think that within 1-2 weeks at the outside you will FINALLY feel like you are on a completely different planet, it will certainly have a different (i.e. much better!) atmosphere, mood and ambience. It will feel lighter, breezier and uncomplicated.
Everything will become noticeably easier, indeed as it has been doing gradually for the past few weeks and your mood is steadily brightening. You might feel a bit tetchy now but this is more a manifestation of your impatience to get cracking with LIFE.
The trouble is of course when you start to feel this way, your immediate environ can look a little drab and uninspiring which may be the catalyst for a few job and home life changes amongst you. Certainly work has been a real drag and if you’ve been “just going through the motions” in the past year or so, you owe it to yourself to do something about it and lets face it, everyone else took advantage of you when they could didn’t they?
There is no question that you certainly have the moral fibre and fortitude to do pretty much what you want nowadays. It’s not that you’ve gotten more selfish (well in truth you have) but it’s more about taking care of numero uno for a change and being responsible for your own contentment.
Your outlook is more “macro” and large scale and if you are only thinking about it now, you are certainly planting seeds for the future whilst other Arians are acting out their aspirations. Don’t try and rush around and fast track all the changes you want to make as there is only so much you can squeeze onto your plate at once. It’s not good for your physical (not to mention your psychological) health) to burn the candles at both ends or lie awake all night plotting about how to exit stage left.
Those of you who have been making or revising plans over a particular property (shared or to be acquired) last week will be following through on that this week and either moving in/out and/or signing documents.
Others will be merely in deep discussion over property and children.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 7TH JULY 2010
I guess my previous warnings have been enough to encourage you to strap yourself in for the rollercoaster ride ahead. It’s a wet and wild one. No carousel speed for you for quite a while. Not to worry, you will adjust to the new tempo and different schedules before too much longer and events that transpire out of the blue won’t be anywhere near as astounding as they would if they’d happened even six months ago.
You continue the internal wrangle of freedom versus the sanctuary of home or “the grass is greener” dilemma versus the comfort and security of your current position. Home, family (and extended family) your love-life (or lack thereof!) co-habitants and your domestic life in general is the focus of your attention and overall discussions this week.
The position you hold within your home could be undergoing a metamorphosis, and there will be some plans made or revised and in particular property (shared or to be acquired) is highlighted. You will be feeling some strain (but that might be your new zest for living bursting forth!) however I do see you tackling issues that disturb you although on occasion you will be looking longingly at the door as an escape route!
When things exasperate you this week, remember this: 2011 is going to be fabulous and if you read my last week’s horoscope you’ll know that you’ve already entered an expansive and exciting period in your life – if you take advantage of it, probably the most unrestrained and progressive phase you have experienced thus far.
Therefore any dilemmas you encounter this week are opportunities in disguise if you look at them in the right light. You’ve got the tenacity that’s for sure to roll with the punches but your Achilles heel is your anger and whilst this cannot derail you per se, it can cloud your judgment or ability to see the fruits dangling in right in front of you.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 30TH JUNE 2010
What a difference a day makes…24 little hours…nope, it’s not 24 hours it’s more like 12 months, or 7 years, or even 12 years depending on where you focus in your cosmos…but it a timely, expansive and definitely exciting transit.
You feel like a door has been flung open and fresh opportunities, luck and expansive vibes are flooding in. You already sense it, that something is different. There is a newfound enthusiasm and exuberance, (yes more rebellion!) and definitely a whole new outlook where you believe that anything is possible.
Your confidence is growing by the second and it’s a time of reaping the harvest after all those unpleasant times of the past couple of years. What did you learn from them and how will you apply those lessons here? What do you wish to change? Where you live (and with whom) which jobs, where to travel?
If you want (or need) to start over in any area of your life you will have the faith and belief in yourself to start again. Irrespective of what obstacles may lay ahead they will feel like ant hills as opposed to mountains. There will of course still be the mundane – no-one is exempt from the nose-to-the-grindstone stuff, it’s part of life, just keep an eye out for those doors being flung open and opportunities appearing in various disguises.
Over confidence can be an issue now which is my only caution so watch how you relate to others, and try not to take unnecessary risks - although you’ll probably ignore that advice given this mindset. Also you could become almost obsessive with your ideas and dreams as you focus on your standing in the world (onwards and upwards!). There is a whole gamut of plans up your sleeve that you have for the future which you are keen to implement ASAP!
As I mentioned back in May, some of your nearest and dearest may be taken aback by your attitude as you rediscover (or discover) yourself and this can lead to problems in your relationships. Just remember it’s their problem not yours, you are merely identifying the authentic you.
More importantly you must be really ready and willing to change so that you can then enter into the next phase of your life.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 23RD JUNE 2010
Are you “Ram”-ing your point home of late? Ha ha. It’s so hard to pull back once you are on a roll and I doubt that you will want to or indeed will. There is a strong probability that a lot of “repressed anger” stuff which you have been carrying around for eons will coming spilling out of your mouth this week or via the written word.
Certainly your actions of late are being noticed, there is no doubt about that. There is more energy, and fire in your belly and you make the things that are happening in your life right now. You are the architect.
There is much changing around you which is good (if not a bit scary) but a hell of a lot better than the doldrums of the past. The major areas of transformation in your life focus on your home base and/or domestic world and there appears to be at best a “re-assertion” of your role and at worst…well, it’s you first baby and all your decision making and courses of actions will have this self assertion at the forefront.
As one wag said there is the “f…kee and the “f..k-or” and you have absolutely no intention of being the former.
Of course none of this will happen overnight it’s your thinking which has changed big time. You will be implementing the changes at your own speed, some will do it pronto, others in their own good time (or in phases) but they will be ultimately life changing (or better put very different to how your life was previously).
I do sense that this week you could be vacillating between feeling irate or despondent. Keep an eye on all communication and others actions - if you feel wary and apprehensive about something, there is a valid reason for your intuition.
Look back over the past to find some key answers to the most appropriate future course, you will learn from this exercise.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 16TH JUNE 2010
A lot of people who read their stars just want to know what’s likely to happen as opposed to why, so let me cut to the chase and tell you that you should be literally on a roll at least until September (which is the antipasto course for the fabulous feast of 2011).
You are on fire (as are Leo and Sags), inspired and full of energy, the likes of which you haven’t experienced for ages. You are in full Gladiator mode charging head first into any or all battles and if there aren’t any, well then you might just create one…or two.
You won’t be taking any prisoners either (if you get my gist); you are ruthless and unforgiving now, a far cry from the sycophantic “yes” man of yesterday.
Can you (or do you even want to?) strike a happy medium between throwing yourself wholeheartedly into everything without bowling people over in the process, literally and metaphorically.
Funnily enough unlike previous times, you can afford to be compromising now without this resulting in any sacrifice or disadvantage to you. Au contraire an adroit touch can even be to your advantage as you wield your new power and influence – if you think outside the box, the box literally goes away leaving behind any residue frustration, anger, stress, and fear as you manifest a reality of infinite possibilities.
All this inspiration and creativity most probably will be directed into your work and everyday routines and you will be attacking head-on any influences that even hint at impacting on your wellbeing. You’re driven to make things happen in your favour and are at an all time productive high. A lot of surplus energy could even overflow into sport or gym work for the younger and fitter of you.
Not fit? Then this is THE time to start.
This passage should translate into hectic times and you will be out and about socialising, smooching and generally having a ball – and if you’re not then you’re probably in jail.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 9TH JUNE 2010
You have gusto now. You’ve swapped grinding your teeth whilst you struggled to be accommodating to all and sundry to now calling the shots. There is no other way of saying it: work has been the pits which caused you to basically disengage either mentally or physically (or both) so the good news is that no matter what they throw at you from now on, you don’t really give a toss.
The long promised injection of chutzpah that I indicated was on its way has well and truly arrived and you are raring and eager to get cracking, literally chomping at the bit – but at what? Some of you may have a focus and are directing all your new found energy and drive at this goal and some of you will play the rebel big time.
There is NO WAY that you won’t feel this new energy (for want of a better word) – you can call it confidence, enthusiasm, drive, rebelliousness – you get the picture. If you harness it well it will be hard to really stuff this bounty up and you have been empowered to take on your aggressors, win over dissidents and overcome any and all obstacles in your way.
It really should be a highly auspicious period and there is definitely the astrological climate for hearing good news – most of which will be of your own making! You certainly won’t resemble, sound like, act like, think like, or feel like the person you were say six months ago.
As I’ve mentioned previously, some of you will be changing the emotional and relationship landscape if this signifies a better path to your newfound independence and desire for freedom. This of course doesn’t mean for a minute that ALL Arians will make a break for it in relationships, but even in long standing partnerships your significant other will notice your ongoing metamorphosis.
Aries are renowned for their sense of adventure and now you will really live up to all the hype. Go get em!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 2ND JUNE 2010
Change, change, change…are you ready? It’s not a case of if but when. There is no doubt that Aries have had some of the most difficult and frustrating times of the zodiac but this is soon to be a thing of the past. Of course putting on a positive spin there is always an “upside” to difficult transits…you gain a lot of ….”perspective” even during a pretty tiresome episode where only your amazing tenacity and strength carried you through.
All this is in the past because….drum roll…..at the end of this week Mr. Fortune Good Luck - who sounds like an Ian Flemming character - but he’s not from a James Bond film but rather Jupiter one of the most beneficial influences around will really help you out ….and he hasn’t done so at this level for over a decade!
Mr. FGL will assist you for around three months and provide you with a rather pleasant preliminary prelude of what your world will be like during most of 2011!
A lot of Aries have gotten themselves into stagnant situations and wallowed but now you’re not just breaking the old molds you are shattering them.
When you take a flying leap off the cliff into the unknown you sure as hell hope that there is a safety net at the bottom but I feel pretty confident (as you do to) that there is no need for one - in fact you will FLY. You are not the zodiacs lemming, au contraire you are now mentally and emotionally all geared up for change in a big way and will let everyone around you know that you are on the front foot.
Will you shock people with your movements or announcements? A lot of you will and you could look back on this passage and go “wow” as it could well be one of the most monumentally transformational passages of your life.
You won’t have a standing ovation and some will walk out of the performance, but you are the principal act!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 26TH MAY 2010
The big news this week is Uranus entering Aries on or around Friday (depending on where you live in the world) which has not occurred since 1927 - so it is highly unlikely that you will have experienced its impact on your 1st house previously.
I’ll address the full ramifications of that in the June monthly horoscopes but know that Uranus is the planet of abrupt and unexpected change and although this won’t become obvious to you straight away (I’ll explain why next month) the time for breaking out of that cage is nigh.
Beginning this week you’ll start to view things in a different perspective, and this new light will reveal things to you that you didn’t pick up on before. You’ve know that you’ve knuckled down for too long and beginning this week, you are not going to toe the line anymore. You turned the other cheek back and forth until you were literally dizzy but there was no real appreciation or acknowledgement of all the things that you had to forego and the small (and big) sacrifices that you made at home and at work – in fact in nearly all of your interpersonal ties.
Over time being curtailed like this has built up resentment and a feeling of being caged and now you are mentally plotting your mutiny. It’s going to be your way or the highway and some of you will be literally hitting the road some time in the not too distant future. You’ve craved a change of your circumstances and boy is change here – for the next seven years or so. Your inner rebel is likely to emerge and both your persona and your appearance will change as will the way you present yourself to the world. Some may be traumatised by the new you (“you’re not the person I married!”) but in reality it’s just an acute version of the authentic you.
The key phrase for Aries is “I am” and you are going to discover (or rediscover) who you really ARE – it’s very much a “me” time for you and it’s not going to take any prompting from SB for you to embrace that ideology. Let’s be honest here, emotionally and mentally a lot of you have reached the end of your tether – you are not going to take it anymore!
Your rebellion will take many guises and depending where you are in life and who you are with will have different outcomes - many of which will be changes – job, work, love, place of residence and so on. So long as your intentions are authentic you have nothing to worry about.
Can’t tell you when exactly this is going to happen (this is a long cycle) but you better start singing MY WAY.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 19TH MAY 2010
You’ve certainly made a big effort to be conciliatory, frankly far more than was warranted given the circumstances that surround you. If you took my advice and focused on your needs for a change, this may have provided some relief. If you didn’t take the “me” time I recommended, no doubt you’re feeling tired and resentful and overwhelmed by all the demands on your time.
You’re feeling caged and want to be set free!
For longer than you care to remember you’ve been tested by either an individual or a group (either at work or at home – or both!) but full credit to you, you’ve tried your damndest to refrain from really letting lose - which is what you secretly wanted to do!
You can’t please all of the people all of the time as you’ve come to realize and I’m not so sure you even care anymore whether you do or you don’t. Time to kick some heads (metaphorically speaking) or at the very least stop being accommodating to those who really don’t deserve it – especially during this contentious week.
You’ve certainly been quietly appraising your life for some time now and coming to some decisions. With liberation comes some “letting go” although some of these may require a bit more of an emotional struggle than you were perhaps prepared for but at least the money issue will no longer be a concern for you.
If you read your monthly you will see that you’re turning the corner and leaving behind a really rough passage. You won’t necessarily be unaccompanied on the journey but you will be leaving some people, things or places behind.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 12TH MAY 2010
You are definitely not feeling as antsy or on edge as you have been of late and your interpersonal communication has much improved. Mr. or Ms. Tetchy has become quite amorous in fact but who are you feeling amorous about? Just as all the other areas of your life seem to be smoothing out and certainly your fiscal worries are less (or at least don’t play on your mind as much any more), you are still assessing behind the scenes why you want to be with certain people in your life and if you can’t find an appropriate answer, where you’d prefer to be instead.
It’s not any monumental life changing steps that we are talking about, more a measuring up and appraising of your situation overall. You are scrutinizing the way you live your life and with whom you share your time with, and in some cases you will feel - in a very quiet inner sense – that maybe you have been short changing yourself.
There is no doubt you have moved on from your difficulties of the past. The sense of malaise or inertia has gone to be replaced by your usual drive which finds you talking up big plans with steely resolve.
What you do though about that niggling sense of dissatisfaction that lingers I have no idea, but like all planetary aspects is a phase that will pass.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 5TH MAY 2010
What happens when there is all work and no play? There are a number of outcomes...boredom, mischief…you are like a pressure cooker about to EXPLODE. It might be accumulated stress or just one too many frustrations at work and at home….akin to the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.
Whichever one it is it all equals frustration and overload. Before the fissures in your interpersonal relationships all start turning into yawing chasms, know this: life is about to improve and when it does it will happen with warp speed.
People are actually starting to give you credit and air time; no even more they are taking heed of your accomplishments and commenting on them. One note of caution, when I talked about you seeking more “me” time last week, I don’t suggest that you take that too literally and get yourself into any pickle….if you get my drift.
Notwithstanding, this week you take back the drivers seat.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 28TH APRIL 2010
You tell yourself that you are NOT going to tow the line any longer, but you do….or will you? It’s becoming patently clear to you that people are intruding in your life and poking their noses into your business and worse trying to tell you how to live your life.
Whilst you don’t want to appear unreasonable or God forbid rebellious, the endless grind which is your life just won’t cut it for too much longer. It appears to you that you are on this earth to serve everyone else’s needs except for your own and your responsibilities and commitments seem endless.
Can’t you have any me time you wonder? Well if you can just hold on a little longer you will have just that – ME time…when it will be all about you.
Your personal uprising is imminent but you will regret it if you stage the revolt now so attempt to use this time productively and continue catering to the demands of the masses. Courage.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 21ST APRIL 2010
“This isn’t a life, it’s an ADVENTURE” should be the motto for all Aries. It certainly reflects how you feel about living.
You’re the action man/woman of the zodiac eager to throw yourself into the fray, being (a tad) rebellious, brimming with confidence and enthusiasm. You are ALWAYS hungry for new adventures and on occasion can live just a little too close to the edge with your risk taking.
So the question you must ask yourself is why is your life not resembling this grand adventure and more importantly why aren’t you complaining or doing something about it?
Is there a lesson you should be learning about towing the line and fitting in with the team? Maybe…
To be really happy you need to work and live on your own terms but the frustrations and kowtowing of the past few months have driven you mad. As I mentioned last week, no matter what stage you are in live you are in life you will be making some major and fundamental changes in the not too distant future – now within a matter of weeks. Yes, it’s getting closer.
In the meantime continue to try to work with others (yes, same advice) until the time when you can really do some grandstanding. Watch this space.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 14TH APRIL 2010
No matter what stage you are in life you will be making some major and fundamental changes in the not too distant future (well in a month or so). They will be either of your own making or circumstances will force them upon you.
You can intuitively sense that “something” is afoot and that destiny in some form awaits you. This will be either a manifestation of your inner wishes (you have been frustrated with the status quo for some time) and you finally decide to do something about it or (and I hope it’s the former), a blindside event.
The only softener is that the latter for some reason won’t exactly catch you off guard and will most likely be a reaction to or symptom of your previous actions.
Always around a birthday, your thoughts go towards assessing where you are in life and what needs to change and your chart does indicate that a fresh start lies ahead. In the meantime continue to go about your business (like I mentioned last week) and try not to be patronising or inflexible to those around you.
Endeavour to work well with others in the interim knowing that a metaphorical door is at the end of this passage.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 7TH APRIL 2010
You want to live your life in the way that you think that it should be led. The framework in which you live and the changes that need to be made are quite clear to you, but others seem to be resistant and not on the same page.
You continue to go about your business in a serene and cooperative manner and don’t rock the boat but your inner turmoil is well and truly pumping.
You may need to actually break away from towing the same old line (as you have been doing for eons) and take two steps forward, rather than the one forward, two back that I was referring to last week.
Just because you are intrinsically linked to others and there is a whole framework of family, society and working connections that you are so enmeshed and entwined with, doesn’t mean that you can’t pursue another option entirely that you truly believe is right for you.
Whilst you are done with laying low and maintaining the status quo the problem is that any decision that goes against the state-of-affairs that currently exists is obviously going to have major ramifications.
That said if you categorically need to make changes and truly, truly feel that you are way off beam in some area of your life (person, place, job etc) try and find some understanding allies to help you through the process.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 31ST MARCH 2010
If you didn’t head off somewhere for some R&R last week, life will be continuing in much the same way - one step forward and two steps back. It won’t always be like this, and indeed you are feeling more confident about circumstances in general.
For a change you are making yourself heard and seen as opposed to subjugating yourself completely as has been the case in the past few weeks.
Generally you are assertive full stop (you are an Aries) but you may be rather peeved this week when your supporters suddenly don’t want to continue supporting you or worse, go head to head with you.
There may even be a rescinding of a deal or a deal that was unspoken but which you took for granted that is now quite clearly NOT in your favour.
If that is the case you will fight HARD and the outcome will be quite dramatic – a very Aries word - and you are in for a fiery Easter. If you are one of those Arians whose life is shortly to undergo a 180 degree turnaround that I mentioned last week, prepare for blastoff! Happy Easter!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 24TH MARCH 2010
You are either disappointed or very hostile and angry towards someone at the moment. They have caused you inconvenience or some measure of grief in one area of your life and you just want it over and done and have this issue out of your hair. One way of doing this is by removing yourself from the scene for a while and to this end you are considering a trip away (Bahamas looks nice…) or else a trip towards the issue to create some ruckus (I’m on a plane and coming to see you…!)
You keep in mind though the saying “more bees with honey” and therefore are attempting to appear accommodating and flexible in order for those that count to assist you rather than you alienating them (whilst secretly you would just like to deal with it head on). I can’t promise you won’t get sick of playing it safe and charge on in like a rampaging Bull - or in this case a rampaging Ram.
By mid year the current torments will all be irrelevant in the new scheme of things and you will be on a roll again – in fact your life might well have turned around 180 degrees - meanwhile try to tread a little carefully if you can!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 17TH MARCH 2010
You don’t know who to trust at the moment but you are so enmeshed with all the players that it’s hard to rock the boat and really take some action in case it goes against the wishes of others, some of whom you suspect don’t necessarily have your interests at heart (but profess that they do).
Don’t fret, if you’re not in control of the game now you soon will be, and over the next few months you will slowly but surely come into your own. You are a leader after all Aries and you should be directing the flow, not going along with it.
But for some reason you have forgotten that, either from emotionally grinding circumstances or you have intentionally subjugated your power for the sake of peace. Is there a chain of command that you had to kowtow to for so long, either familial or maybe in the workplace that you’ve forgotten who you are in essence?
I feel it is an arrangement that you have long ago learned to accept and that it is either a marriage or something to do with an appendage of a marriage i.e. children or an in-law, the set-up which you are now questioning.
You are ready to let rip. It won’t happen overnight but it will happen!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 10TH MARCH 2010
Life is finally getting back on track and you are feeling positive again. The inner turmoil that you have been feeling has almost dissipated and you are ready to tackle any remaining impediments to your peace of mind. A word of caution here: whilst you are impatient to move forward, don’t push someone too far or engage in a dispute over their line of reasoning or there will be “words”.
Best advice? Don’t take on any dissenters, try to ignore them and if that fails be plucky and assert yourself without taking them on. Continue to grab as much “me” time as you can, put your feet up at every opportunity and seek out your favorite recreation.
Try and identify what it is that is really irritating you and deal with it but timing is everything this week so read the signals before you wade on in.
Meanwhile cozy up to whoever means a lot to you, be patient with the kids if you have any and make love not war.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 3RD MARCH 2010
Hopefully you have lain low as advised and managed to restore some sense of equilibrium. Now that you’re back on deck and feeling refreshed don’t immediately put yourself right back where you were before or are the masses still telling you what to do and ordering you around?
While it may take some time for you to reverse this state of affairs, you are now more equipped to handle their intrusion into your life with the softening entry of Venus to smooth the way.
This is good news! There is a reversal on the way. You’ve been waiting a long time to truly be yourself and your tolerance level has sunk to an all time low. Yes, you’ve been stretched like a rubber band and have gotten so used to taking second place you’ve literally forgotten what it feels like to respected - much less in charge of your own destiny.
Opportunities are popping up to redress this situation and you are ready. Bring It On!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 24TH FEBRUARY 2010
If you took my suggestion last week to “opt out” of the fray and the decision making process then you may just have found some inner peace. Being Far from the Madding Crowd whether spiritually or literally has helped to alleviate some of the nervous tension you’ve been feeling lately and you are almost serene. If you didn’t take my advice then you are no doubt still strung out especially from the unrelenting demands of your other half and/or others which is not going to change any time soon. Unless you take off for the hills or barricade yourself in with the phone unplugged you won’t find the equanimity you’re presently craving. Try to get away from it all either physically or mentally and you’ll be surprised to discover that the very things that tormented you previously will soon become inconsequential.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 17TH FEBRUARY 2010
Your daily routines and external demands haven’t abated. On the contrary they appear to have increased and you are feeling akin to a rat on a treadmill. Your spouse, boss, friends, children all seem a bit of a pain at the moment and you are just a tad over everyone. In the meantime try to squeeze in as much “me” time as possible until you feel your equilibrium returning. There is nothing wrong with being selfish for a change (and Aries are quite good at that!) Aries is usually very driven but this week I recommend that you take a back seat and let others make decisions that you don’t have a say in. Whilst it goes against the grain, it will be a better outcome in the long run. You don’t want to win the battle but lose the war do you?
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 10TH FEBRUARY 2010
