A phase when friendships or more involvement within an organization or a group of kindred spirits is more likely. Also, you might be giving attention to goals you have wished to achieve, perhaps for quite a while now.

In general, a governing factor until the 19th won't be what you know as much as who you know and how well you all get on with each other. A key feature is a sociable and generally friendly vibration where professional collaborations, social get-togethers and team-work of various kinds are highlighted. This is a good vibration for networking, connecting and furthering something you have aspired to, so potentially a time of progress.

This is also a period when unexpected or unconventional influences are more prevalent and you should be more flexible and adaptable in your response perhaps seeing things in an experimental " we'll see how it goes" light.
Until the 8th you could find yourself having to put personal preferences on one side or contributing in a more selfless kind of a way, but possibly you are just more inclined to keep your feelings to yourself in certain situations or with certain people. Another way this can work is that a love relationship could be taking root in the background or you could be are bonding with others within some kind of circle or cloistered environment. This is definitely a time to look after yourself and be vigilant about protecting your boundaries when others seem to push your buttons or lean too heavily upon you. Time for self-pampering is advised whenever you get the chance. Overall, more self-nurturing activities will be important until mid-year as Mars is in an area or your Solar chart which could put a heavier demand on you physically and an emphasis on work and health.

Fortunately, from the 8th onwards, you will have Venus in your sign making it a more sociable time with probably more than one opportunity for you to be selflessly supportive of others, but with Venus here you will be more in the mood for that. On the other hand, you could be feeling somewhat self-indulgent and want to treat yourself to activities, or purchases which boost your morale or just help you to feel good. Or you find yourself on the receiving end of treats and favours.

You could find that certain company is very appealing and that feeling is likely to be mutual as you come across as more attractive with Venus in your Sun sign. Also it could be a lucrative influence and open the door to other types of resources for you. Social interaction of all kinds is emphasized - someone could take a shine to you which could boost your ego or your credit rating, or expand your social circle. You could be feeling better in your skin and ready to turn your more charming face to the world and of course others may find you more friendly and persuasive so that's good news for business and the piggy-bank as well as your private life.
Mercury is in a very sociable area until mid-month, which means you can access information and learn loads from your connections in person or over the wires.

There's also likely to be a lot of mental energy dedicated to furthering your aims through an organization or other group collaborations. So again, it won't be what you know but who you know. If you are open enough, some of you will be inspired towards thinking along very new and unusual lines.

Then, from mid-month certain things may seem up-in-the-air or uncertain. Your mind becomes more introspective, intuition increases and you can get on with mental pursuits behind-the-scenes, perhaps as a form of preparation or you find yourself thinking more imaginatively or intuitively. Either way, you could be a little preoccupied and find yourself zoning out whilst in the middle of a meeting or a conversation. But this is a phase when you should take whatever time you can for touching base with higher self through self-nurturing activities where you can get lost in a more expanded, less time-bound awareness. You may find it easer to listen to your inner guidance, reflect upon the past and also attempt to let go of worries or emotional stressors and still your mind or just get absorbed in a pursuit which takes you out of yourself or connects you another dimension.

For several months to come, being of service or co-ordinating with service providers will be emphasized and potentially can be productive and energetic if a little tense or draining at times. With Mars your ruling planet in the area related to daily chores and health, there is danger of a conflict of methods or taking on too much and overdoing it. Methodologies, or a health regime may over-stretch you or be the cause of conflict at times. Service providers or colleagues can seem annoying too. However, their tools, contribution or knowledge can be invaluable if you find a comfortable way to co-operate. You may be putting physical energy into using or learning or teaching skills to others, improving health - yours or another's - or being more the servant in your daily interactions.

However this month and until April, Mars is retrograde that means you should conserve your energy, look after basic stuff and be modest in your expectations. When April arrives you begin to recharge and gain ground if you get rid of the clutter, the bad habit or the time wasting diversions.

Overall this long transit of Mars means you won't want to twiddle your thumbs so make sure you have a worthy focus for your energies otherwise they may stagnate and cause physical problems. You may wish to get busy with practical daily tasks, the job at hand or the 'to do list' which may mean more physical effort getting things organized. You'll be more inclined to strive thru the sweat of your brow to get things how you want them to be around work or health or to meet another's demands or needs. More maintenance or repairs could be on the list too, sorting out a working space or simply getting choosier about what is good for you and what is not and striving to sort yourself out in physical or mental sense could be on the agenda. Mars could also stir up health issues and you should pace yourself during this phase when you may be tempted to over-stretch your energies as you juggle this and that. Where work or health is concerned, it's advisable not to wait for others but to take the initiative with any practical aspect of your existence which might assist with the smoother running of things or help you, or someone else, feel better.
From the 19th you could be beavering away more in the background getting something ready, or making yourself available in a more
THE SLOWER MOVING PLANETS:

Jupiter's current position is a good omen for improvements regarding assets which could be finances or property or your own or another's physical condition until next June. This is a beneficial influence in these areas if you are willing to go with the Jupiter vibration of being open to learn through doing but also seizing sometimes unconventional or unexpected opportunities to improve things physically or materially. Perhaps honing skills in the process but also putting past experience to work in a way which turns them into cash. Jupiter here sometimes amounts to something with potential dropping into your lap out of a clear blue sky, so don't fail to recognize the potential!

Overall, this will be a cycle of reaching for better things materially and physically through perhaps a lucky break, but which might put more on your plate than you were bargaining for! Also by utilizing your talents and skills as well as possessions, property or other lines of supply which can nourish or heal, or be transformed into cash. Also, Jupiter here can help you maximize your earning power through use or development of latent abilities. Externally, natural resources, equipment or a better venue will flow more readily towards you over the coming months. And, with Uranus in your sign for several years, it may be a good idea to be more open to unconventional, alternative or eco-friendly solutions.
Overall during this long Saturn transit, due to finish Autumn 2012, you'll have to work harder to get the balance between your needs and requirements and others' needs and requirements. In the process there will be moments of conflict or doubt as you feel held back by their rules, problems, or demands. But, in different ways the pressure on you could be the trigger for you to be more in the centre of your own power (which does not rely on another's approval), not only over this month but also at countless other moments during the remainder of the Saturn transit in your relationship area.

Although you may not be in the best of moods when it comes to certain people, your power to focus consistently on meeting the challenges they put in your path. Responsibility towards others helps you grow if you take things one small step at a time. This Saturn transit may make you more acutely aware of what's been missing in personal or professional relationships too and you may yearn for a long-term commitment with someone who is more your style.

Those of you doing energy work or those working in other, sometimes difficult, one to one scenarios are advised to stay away from emotional reactions and listen to your higher knowing and being-ness whenever you can, as we are in a time which will be a launch pad for new beginnings for this planet and we who ride on her back. Ariens born 17th-20th April or with Aries rising about 27-29 degrees will feel the influence of Saturn most this month.

Uranus entered your sign on March 11th 2011 and will be there for many years. In August you could feel a little on the edge of your seat wondering what will be happening next. One thing is certain, change is afoot! Things you didn't expect to happen will happen - some liberating, some disruptive. It's not good or bad it's just the winds of change ripping off twigs and branches in the wind. You should be learning to rock and roll and stay as open minded as possible. But still, sometimes its not easy and things may feel somewhat up in the air or you are holding your breath as you wonder how this or that thing is going to turn out. During this time the waves of deep, transformative change will be altering you and your world in ways which can be sudden, surprising, but essentially breaking the mould. You will have to be adaptable and open-minded as you establish yourself within new conditions inwardly and outwardly. Uranus is the spirit of experimentation, revolution and non-conformity which facilitates evolution and part of a significant growth process even though it may be unpredictable at times. You should allow yourself to be ultra-flexible in your approach and experiment with alternative or unconventional approaches which are not mainstream and which could be raising a few eyebrows in certain quarters.

Ariens born 20th-25th March or those with up to 5 degrees Aries rising will feel this vibration most this month.

Since 1998 Neptune has been in an area of your Solar chart which is sociable area where you could have been mixing with more with psychics, healers, artists or groups working towards a common goal in a charitable or altruistic manner. The flip side is that you may been confused or undervalued by friends or members of your organization, club or social circle.You were likely to meet the least realistic more airy fairy side of life through friends or a group which functions in it's own little bubble.
Neptune finally leaves here and transits into its home sign Pisces on 4th Feb there to stay til 2025. Neptune works unselfishly so that can mean you get pulled more into situations where you have to behave in a selfless, or supportive manner, or with no thought of personal gain. Some of you may become interested in Yoga, meditation or healing practices. Others will develop themselves through the arts and using the imagination. Underlying this transit may be more of an urge for oneness of being and connectedness with all life. Some of you could have psychic experiences or strange encounters as Neptune sensitizes your third eye. This long transit of many years may have you working more behind the scenes in minor or major ways. Some of you may find your dreams or visions become more vivid. You may need more sleep. If you need to heal or are supporting someone else, Neptune, planet of empathy, will help best through energy work and light healing and following intuitive hunches.

Ariens born in the first day or two with 2 degrees of Aries rising will feel the energy most this month or the last day or with around 1 degree of Aries rising.
The life-changing force of Pluto continues to be felt across your sign from Capricorn. Choices should be coming from a deeper place now. As if the hand of destiny is at your back gently guiding you forwards. Over 2011 there will be an increasing urge for you to be free of outlived aspects in relationships or an outmoded professional set-up, or place on the map and, in general, become more the real you in whatever you do. Ariens born 26th - 31th March, or with 6-11 degrees of Aries rising will feel this energy most this month.
