The year begins with a strong focus on getting your daily life and relationships in order. In January, you start off with high energy to tackle your to-do list, get your health routine on track, and organize your work schedule. It is a productive start that feels good. By February, the focus shifts dramatically to the important people in your life. A major eclipse in your partnership sector suggests a new beginning in how you relate to others-whether that means a new romantic commitment, a business partnership, or clearing the air with someone close to you. Financially, a heavy weight lifts in mid-February as the planet of restriction leaves your debt sector, finally freeing you from two years of financial stress or worry about money you owe.

As summer arrives, you enter what might be the best time of your life in over a decade. In late June, the lucky planet Jupiter enters your own sign, followed by a massive solar eclipse in your sign in August. This marks the start of a Golden Era for you. Your confidence, health, and vitality will soar. You will feel like the main character in your own movie, and opportunities for love, career advancement, and personal growth will be drawn to you like a magnet. This is the time to launch your biggest dreams, change your appearance, and put yourself first. The universe is giving you a green light to shine as bright as you want.

Towards the end of the year, you will need to balance this high-flying public energy with some quiet time at home. In October, the planet of love and comfort goes backward in your home and family sector. You might find yourself dealing with family matters that need attention, doing repairs around the house, or simply feeling the need to hide away and rest after such a busy summer. It is a time to make your home a sanctuary. By late November, the energy shifts again as the action planet moves into your money sector, motivating you to end the year by boosting your income and securing your finances for the future.
