‘Les Demoiselles Schwartz’ By Anders Zorn {{PD}}
We’ll be alight with imagination and creative energy today, but what shape this takes will be highly individual, and largely dependent on how you see the world: if you’re a fearful person, the night will be dark and full of terrors, figuratively speaking, and if you’re a person who trusts the Universe, your world will be full of wonders. Who, you might ask, would choose to be fearful, especially knowing the repercussions? Well, it’s not about choice, but about the underlying outlook we’re carrying right now. Sometimes we think we’re just fine, when in fact we’re white-knuckling it all the way–and other times we might think we’re too timid, when in fact we’re being quite brave. Tune in to the creative and imaginative in a positive way, addressing things as consciously as possible, listen to your inner voice, and you’re bound to end up doing, being, or making something genuinely worthy.

Setting the table for your year ahead. Art by Peter Ilsted {{PD}}
For those who have the natal Sun at 27 Aries. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–that offers a more complete picture of your year ahead). The need to adjust emotionally, so that you feel as empowered and effective as you actually are, may dominate the year ahead for you, dear Aries. You made a space for doubting yourself the minute you denied or ignored something you really should’ve acknowledged–and now it’s time to admit to the tough stuff, clear it all out, and claim the ‘right thinking’ that will allow you to soar. Hints to success: don’t get distracted by the past, and don’t treat facts or realities as insults–they are information, and if used as such (rather than being resentful of them) you’ll expand your world significantly, and gain in any number of ways. Good luck, Aries!
