As long as you stick to your highest values and priorities (the real ones) and completely claim (and take responsibility for) your own power and its expression, you can both empower yourself and shape your reality to an unprecedented degree, dear Aries. A willingness to take action is the key, as it will actually be the act of being in motion that will show you what’s smart and practical, and that will widen your horizons and open up the thicket of your belief matrix so that new knowledge, and with it new opportunities, can finally get through. Others may have told you that you’ve been a wee bit difficult to deal with lately, and it’s true, with the reason being that your native Arian defenses have been hardened into place in an attempt to preserve a sense of the Self that is outdated and holding you back; this coming year, if you stay in motion and choose consistently to act rather than pause, new beliefs will penetrate the old, loosen their hold, and allow for more rapid growth than ever before. Happy Birthday, Aries, and good luck!

You are perfectly poised, dear Aries, to claim real-world empowerment, the status you desire, and a solid position where you can express yourself, especially where you can express what you know. If you’ve done your homework recently, you’ve already laid the groundwork for some significant advancement–but if you haven’t done that, don’t worry, it’s not too late. All you must do now is take your fiery essence and focus it on answering the question, ‘What do I want to be when I grow up?’ You may think this kind of thing is long past, but the truth is we all answer and re-answer this question, over and over again, throughout life. What can you expect, if you are brave enough to approach this question once again? You can count on a lot of cooperation and support, some of it from unexpected quarters, you can expect big, permanent change, some of it unanticipated or surprising in its abruptness or spontaneity, and you can look forward to an expanded world view (and so a new confidence in the Self) if you are open to acquiring new knowledge–because, in the end, that’s what will count most. Happy Birthday, Aries, and good luck!

You’ll have quite a view this year, Aries. Caspar David Friedrich c1825 {{PD}}

Optimism and opportunity are on the horizon for you, dear Aries, but just–it’s going to take some effort, some machinations, alterations, or adjustments to methods in order to get there–but oh, the view when you do! And this coming year, through to your next birthday, you have a powerful ability, and even a mandate, to communicate your creative vision in a way that heals you and heals those who ‘receive’ it. That’s a tall order, I know, and may seem un-doable–but at this point you are endowed in such a way that, as you make your way optimistically toward that opportunity you see/ seek, and share your visions/ ideals/ spiritual insights/ and creations, you will heal, and so will others–you won’t have to make a special efforts to achieve this amazing ‘side-effect’. You’ll also enjoy what for you may be some unusual emotional certainty–use it while you’ve got it! Happy Birthday, Aries, and good luck!

If you are a Pisces born today, please read the outlook for 20 March.

The early part of your upcoming year, through to your next birthday, dear Pisces, is likely to be spent waiting, planning, imagining, and if you can get yourself together for it, creating–all with the sense that something big could drop anytime–and you’ll be right. It may take a little course-correction, specifically in the way you contact the social sphere and/ or expand your territory, but once done, you could see things take on major proportions. Be ready: there will be some big changes (there will have to be!) and you may be unclear how you feel about developments (or think you feel one way when you really feel another) for a long time to come. Use the calm before the storm (or really, before the shift) wisely, and keep ultimate values in mind (in other words, sometimes there are things more important than ambition fulfillment) and you should do very well in the year ahead. Happy Birthday, Pisces, and good luck!

You know what to do, dear Pisces, the question is, Will you be wise enough to do it? You may hesitate to go forward for a variety of reasons, but you can’t go far wrong if you 1) stay attuned to your inner guidance system, even when it tells you something you don’t want to hear, and 2) keep your highest values in mind at all times. This latter condition will be the most difficult and the most vital, since to neglect what really matters to you could mean that home, mate, or important causes move on without you–and nobody wants that. This may be a more quiet year than most, where the action is largely internal; the biggest external demand, though, may be a significant one, where skills and their practical application may be tested repeatedly. You do get a bonus in the form of an opportunity to heal some significant wound related to the ambition and desire picture–and that’s all good. Happy Birthday, Pisces, and good luck!

Your year won’t exactly be a picnic, Pisces. George Goodwin Kilburne ‘The Picnic’ c1900 {{PD}}

Doing what’s smart and/ or practical, acquiring key skills, and becoming more attuned to instinct all seem to be your goals this coming year, dear Pisces, through to your next birthday, and whether those goals spring from previous problems or a desire to fine-tune the direction you’re headed doesn’t really matter–they’re worthy aims, no matter what. Don’t expect a lot of fanfare, though; this is slated to be a fairly quiet year for you, one where you can make a lot of progress if you’re content to put your head down and work. Of course, it’s not all grim effort, though there will be one or more occasions where matters of Love or Money will take what feel like fated turns. Too, matters of the Houses in the Natal Chart ruled by Venus may at some point reach crisis mode, and it may take significant attention to work them out. Still, you can end this relatively unglamorous Solar year at your next Return much stronger, more personally powerful, with complete understanding of how the world works so that you become a kind of Force of Nature–now that’s something to look forward to! Happy Birthday, Pisces, and good luck!

What is that thing that’s been bothering you, dear Pisces? It’s been hovering around the edge of your consciousness but you can’t seem to grasp it. It may end up tormenting you for a good part of the coming year, through to your next birthday, but that’s really a good thing, as it will prompt you to learn about yourself, specifically about those things in your ‘blind spot’, which is the internal ‘place’ that influences actions and thought but where you can’t perceive that this influences is occurring, but others can. It will also cause you to get on better terms with your instincts–perhaps helping you trust them more, as well as helping you sort them from thoughts and wish-fulfillment–and all this will also aid in you dedicating your life energies to causes, to home creation, or to supporting the mate, in a way and to an extent you never have before. It’s going to be a busy year, Pisces–and a last bit of advice: the emotions are likely to be an early warning system for what’s wise and what’s not–listen to them. Happy Birthday, and good luck!
