Pluto may have been converted to a celestial dwarf but he packs a mighty punch, as you're about to realize. Transformation is this planet's buzz word and with its transit of the zone of career and life goals you're going to find out just how far you'll go to get what you want and how strong you are when you run into any opposition. Especially if you are a March Ram there will be major job developments and/or changes of location, and all Arians will be shedding baggage of some description during the next twelve months. You may have to be a little more vigilant with your health though, and minor distress signals should not be ignored. A more idealistic you is emerging too and while you will never lose your rugged independence, you're going to be learning the advantages of team-work and putting creative fulfilment before material gain.

LOVE

With Venus in your sign from February 3 – June 5, your love life has never been better. You have the time and the power to manifest your romantic hopes and set relationships on a firm course, even though, in some cases, this will mean heaving a long-term relationship into the shredder. Mid-February and late October are premium periods for love and your future happiness – indeed, Valentine's Day could be all you ever hoped it would be. On October 28th, Saturn enters the zone of relating for a two-year transit during which time partnerships will be put to the test: the good will get better and the bad... well, let's just say you're in for a bit of a learning curve. Some Arians could begin a relationship with an older partner or one with a strongly Capricornian element to his/her chart. And, in general, you'll earn your spurs in the love game from this point on.

AND THE REST

There are mixed messages in regard to money. On the one hand, Jupiter's transit of the zone of collaboration makes this a year to pool money, talents and resources with colleagues or partners, and you could see an entrepreneurial venture flourish. On the other hand, Saturn's influence in the relationship sector from late October brings delays and complications with business partnerships and joint investments. It may be that in the final quarter of the year you have to bear a greater share of the financial load, and it will prove hard work raising money and getting people to invest in your skills. There could be additions to the family, and this is not the year to trust to luck when it comes to birth control – then again, sometimes those accidents of fate turn out to be just what you needed.
