OVERVIEW: Strong, internalized New Year's resolutions put you on the right track. Although necessity makes you impatient, you remain cheerful. Your efforts peak when the Sun reaches Aquarius. You move freely through the world, attracting and inspiring others through your actions. Toward the end of February you become sensitive to any disagreement with your ideals. It should be clear that this is mostly in your head, but March finds you more concerned than usual about privacy, secrecy and protection.

The Aries Sun snaps you out of this mood, as the arrival of Spring puts you back in action. You find reasons to be excited and you feel an urge to improve things. Forward momentum hits a wall after April 21st, and you're dismayed to actually lose ground. It's easy to be disillusioned during the first half of May. The world as you know it is changing. The Sun shines on your gloom and dispels it on the 22nd, helping you adapt to conditions that can be turned to your advantage.

Nagging insecurity undercuts confidence by July. No amount of logic tames your sneaky feelings. By the 24th, you welcome the strong Leo influence that bolsters your independence and inspires you to splash out in daring ways. Time flies, but your pace matches it. The last days of August bring disappointment. You trip over things ignored or shoved aside, and they send you stumbling off in a new direction. Talking usually helps, but in this case it could be almost a month before you find the most effective words and the ears that are willing to hear them.

Missing energy returns to your life around September 22nd. Some say you're proactive while others would call you aggressive. This distinction should matter, although you can ignore it for most of October. Situations could get unpleasant by Halloween if you haven't pulled a few irons out of the fire. Around November 8th, drastic change is only natural. No matter how much you stir things up, though, real improvement may not come until the 23rd. Now that you have a little extra to get you through the end of the year, struggling against the established order no longer seems quite as necessary.
