Your Personal Horoscope 2009: Month-by-month Forecasts for Every Sign. Joseph Polansky
very strong this month, especially until the 20th. A good period to pursue spiritual and charitable interests, to go on that yoga or spiritual retreat, to take meditation classes or get involved in prayer circles and the like. A good period to review the past year, correct mistakes, re-evaluate and set new goals for the year ahead. You are about to have your personal new year—which begins on your birthday. You want to start this new year—this new cycle—fresh, with a clean slate.
On the 20th, as the Sun enters your own Sign, there is a great interest in the body: the image and the pleasures of the body. You enter one of your yearly personal pleasure periods—a time to pamper yourself and enjoy life.
Health is wonderful all month, but especially after the 20th. The Sun in your own Sign gives you the energy of ten people. (Even older Aries will feel more bouncy now.) If there were health problems in the last month you should experience healings now. Until the 8th you can enhance your health even further by giving more attention to the ankles. Massage them regularly and give them support (you seem more active this month, more into sports and exercise, so this is important). Fresh air—air purity in general—is important until the 8th. Afterwards, enhance the health by giving more attention to the feet: regular foot massage would be wonderful then. After the 8th you will also get good results from spiritual-type healing—meditation, prayer, reiki, the laying on of hands and the manipulation of subtle energies. This will be a wonderful period to advance your knowledge of these things.
The love life is just super. Whether you are looking for fun and games kinds of relationships or something more serious, it is there for you—and these people are seeking you out. You are having your way. Just be yourself and go about your business; these people will find you. Marrieds will find that their spouses are more devoted and attentive. However, Venus starts to Retrograde on the 9th. And this complicates the love life. This is a period for reviewing your relationships and seeing where improvements can be made. And though you have many love opportunities, don’t jump into them right away—let them develop slowly (very difficult for you Aries, but it is wise.)
Like last month there is prosperity. Financial opportunities are seeking you out. There is luck in speculations (especially around the Spring Equinox). Your personal appearance plays a huge role in earnings, and since you look good these days this is a positive wealth signal. Prosperity is only going to get stronger in the next few months. Again Venus’s Retrograde suggests that you do more homework with all the financial opportunities coming to you. They may not be all they are made out to be.

Most of the planets are still in the East. Your own Sign, Aries, is very powerful all month. Your 1st House of Self and Self Interest is very powerful, while your 7th House of others is empty (only the Moon will visit there on the 8th and 9th). So this is the most independent period of your year, much more even than the past few months. This is the time to make those changes you want to make—to change the conditions of your life that might be irksome to you or that you feel can be improved. Go forward boldly. Reach for the stars. Have things your way. If others don’t go along, go it alone (but it seems to me that others will go along). Create your life now—the cosmos supports you—only create wisely. You will have to live with your creation later on.
Health is just super, even better than last month. The Sun is in your own Sign until the 19th and Mars, your Ruling Planet, will enter on the 22nd. You have all the energy you need to achieve any goal you set for yourself. You are dynamic and attractive. You exude energy, life and magnetism. The only problem here—from a health perspective—can come from too much of a good thing. You might overdo things, become overactive and push the body beyond its limits, so just be more aware of the body. Also haste, impatience and temper can be a problem. You want things done quickly and haste can lead to unneeded adventures. Many of you don’t realize your force these days. You have so much energy that a curt or short remark can devastate another person—never mind a temper tantrum. Go out of your way to be gentler with others. Watch your driving too: speeding is the problem.
You excel in sports and exercise regimes this month. Athletes will be performing at their top levels these days, breaking their own personal records. Libido is very powerful now too. Probably a sexually active kind of month.
Your love planet is still Retrograde until the 17th. There is love in your life, no question about it, but it can seem to go backwards instead of forwards. But it seems to me that the lover or love opportunity will come back. Venus will once again cross your Ascendant on the 24th, and love (and financial) opportunities are seeking you out and coming to you.
Finances are wonderful this month. And in spite of Venus’s Retrograde you are prospering. Perhaps there are a few glitches or delays, but the basic trend is good. You will really feel your prosperity after the 19th. Venus will go forward on the 17th (bringing back your financial confidence and judgement) and the Sun will enter your money house on the 19th. You are entering a yearly financial peak—enjoy.

Late last month—after the 24th—the planetary power made an important shift from the upper to the lower half of your Horoscope. This represents the ‘night time’ of your year. The activities of night are highlighted. Night is for regenerating and gathering your forces, for dreaming and planning your next moves, for working towards your goals in a more inner way. Sure, you still have a career, and there are external demands, but now is the time to further your career by internal rather than external means. Visualize what you want to do and where you want to be. Imagine what you would like to achieve. Hold your image steadfast. In due course, your inner seeds will bloom into outer actions and events. Now is a time for cultivating emotional harmony and for preparing the psychological ground for future success. It is during the night, when we seem inert and inactive (outwardly) that the forces are gathered for the success of the day. So, you can focus more on the family now and de-emphasize the career. It is a time for psychological progress.
You are still well into a yearly financial peak this month. There is prosperity. Money is earned in happy ways, perhaps as you indulge in leisure activities. You spend more on these things too. As we have seen in the past few months, financial opportunities are seeking you out; wealth is rushing towards you. You just have to accept it when it comes. There is a short-term financial crisis—perhaps involving taxes or debt—early this month, but you will get past it and the prognosis is bright. You are a financial star. There is luck in speculations (but only do this under intuition). Children also seem prosperous these days.
Love seems happy. There could be a short-term lover’s spat—an upheaval due to jealousy—but let the passions die down and your love will resume. You and the beloved are together, on the same page, seeing eye to eye, basically in harmony. A business partnership or joint venture seems in the works. There is definitely opportunity here. Problems in a marriage can be helped by doing adventurous things together as a couple, like mountain climbing, hiking, white-water rafting or by exercising or indulging in sports together. It seems like a sexually active period.
Health is still excellent. You are magnetic and project much sex appeal. You are glamorous and charming as well. Your sense of style continues to be excellent and it is still a great period for buying clothing or accessories. Your taste is excellent. You can enhance your health even further by paying more attention to the arms, shoulders and lungs; your arms and shoulders should be regularly massaged. After the
