Your Personal Horoscope 2010: Month-by-month Forecasts for Every Sign. Joseph Polansky
whitewater rafting, journeys to exotic places, hiking the Grand Canyon or visiting the wildernesses of Greenland–things of that nature will satisfy the Aries’ longing for change.
Everything we have been saying pertains to those in or working towards their first marriage. Those in or working towards their second marriage are having a status-quo kind of year–marrieds will tend to stay married and singles will tend to stay single. Those working towards their third marriage had fabulous aspects in 2009–and still have good aspects in January of this year. Many of you remarried or had serious relationships. Those who didn’t still have beautiful opportunity from May 28th to August 14th.
With fast-moving Venus as your love planet, there are many short-term trends in love. These will be discussed in the month-by-month reports.
Self-improvement
Spirituality has been important in your life for many years now. Uranus has been moving through your 12th house of spirituality since 2002. This year spirituality becomes even more important as Jupiter moves into this house on January 18th and stays there for most of the year ahead (there is a brief interlude from June 6th to September 18th where it leaves the 12th house–but mostly it will be in your 12th house.)
So this is a year of spiritual growth and expansion. More so than in previous years. Those of you already on the path will experience more success here–your practices will yield greater results. There will be much interior spiritual revelation happening. You will actually ‘enjoy’ your spiritual practice–it will not be boring or tedious or done out only through an exertion of will. It will be a joy. You will actually look forward to your periods of meditation and prayer. They will be the highlights of your day.
Those of you not yet on a spiritual path will probably embark on one this year. The ‘great invisible’ has been calling to you for many years, and this year is likely to succeed.
Jupiter is your planet of religion, higher education and foreign travel. So his presence in your 12th house is giving us many messages. First off, you will be exploring the mystical traditions of your own native religion. No need to embrace other paths or other cultures–your own has everything you need if you could but penetrate it. What we call ‘organized’ or ‘exoteric’ religion is really the end result of the mystical experiences of its founders–it is based on mystical experience. If you can tap into this, you will have a newfound respect for your own culture and tradition.
But there are other messages here, too. This is a year for taking a religious pilgrimage. A year for taking spiritually-orientated retreats. A year for having personal experiences with the supernatural or paranormal.
The ‘great invisible’ has many ways of letting you know that it is around. Your dream life will become more active–and probably prophetic in many cases. In other cases it will just ‘dramatize’ a conundrum or problem you are having and thus reveal a solution. Often it shows the ‘why’ of a certain problem. Your intuition will be much sharper. There will be all kinds of synchronistic experiences–strange coincidences that can’t be explained logically. You think of someone and that person calls you. You wish for something and it happens. You need a parking spot in a busy area and it magically opens up. You are driving and an interior voice tells you to slow down, and right behind you is a police car.
This interior expansion is preparing the way for your greater freedom and prosperity in coming years. For as you ‘break through’ on the inner, the outer breakthroughs just naturally happen. You are seeing the intimate connection between your inner and outer life very starkly these days.

An interesting month, Aries, with many changes in store. You are in the midst of a yearly career peak right now that lasts until the 20th. There is much progress happening there. Also a solar eclipse occurs in your 10th house on the 15th. You should take a reduced schedule during this period–this eclipse seems strong on you–a few days before and after the eclipse. I read this eclipse as a positive from a career perspective. Yes, there are changes and upheavals in your career, but these seem to favour you. Keep a cool head until the dust settles. There are also upheavals in your company and corporate hierarchy and this will change the rules of the game. Parents or parent figures are experiencing dramatic events. There are dramas in the lives of children as well.
Mars, your ruling planet, is retrograde all month. Mercury, your work planet, is retrograde until the 15th. Thus you should not rush into a new job or promotion opportunity these days–these kinds of things will wait for you. Study them more. Ask more questions. Resolve all doubts. Things are not what they seem.
Overall energy is not what it should be, either. Be sure to rest and relax more. Overall health is good, but this is not one of your best months healthwise. You can enhance your health by paying more attention to your spine, knees, bones, teeth, gallbladder and overall skeletal alignment. More visits to a chiropractor might be a good idea. It’s important that your spine and overall posture be in the correct alignment. Give more support to your knees when exercising. Health and energy will improve after the 20th. Don’t rush into dramatic changes in your health regime until the 15th–these too need more study. After the 15th your judgement will be much better.
Personally, you want to have fun–Mars is in your 5th house–but career responsibilities prevent this. Yes, be ambitious and go after your dreams, but make sure to have some fun, too.
Love is good this month. Those of you who are married are giving priority to the marriage. You seem to hold your lover or partner in high esteem–you have them on a pedestal. Singles have love opportunities at work or with bosses or authority figures. There are opportunities for the classic office romance. You are more practical in love this month. Bottom-line issues seem very important. The passion of love takes a back seat to security issues. But this will change after the 18th, when you seem more idealistic about love. Singles find love opportunities as they pursue their career goals or with people involved in their career.

Last month, on the 18th, Jupiter made a major move into your 12th house and you are now in a very powerful spiritual period–for many months into the future. This is a great time (but especially after the 18th) to get on the spiritual path or (for those of you already on it) to spend more time cultivating these things. Good for meditation seminars, spiritual studies, spiritual retreats, charitable and altruistic kinds of activities. Also good for going on that religious pilgrimage.
This is the kind of month where you will have many supernatural kinds of experiences–things that can’t be explained by logic. Those of you on the spiritual path will understand what is happening and actually rejoice in it, but for newcomers it can be scary. As Franklin Roosevelt said, ‘there is nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Observe what is happening–your dreams, the strange coincidences, the synchronicities, the intuitions and the hunches–but don’t judge. Simple observation will reveal what is happening–there is much more to life than what you experience with your senses.
Health is much improved over last
