CAREER: On January 2nd, Mercury retrogrades for the first of four
times this year, suggesting cautious evaluation and fiscal canniness. But
New Year's resolutions often lose their immediacy after two or three
weeks. By month's end, you're hurling yourself into risky career moves
with all your usual blind faith and bountiful charisma. Around February
22nd, substance becomes more important than style. The switch from
marketing to fulfillment may be hard if your team isn't assembled or cued
up when someone buys what you're selling.
Spring and Summer are your busy seasons. Expect positive
attention to be lavished on your work around April 3rd. Even if you soon
outgrow the project, coworkers expect your loyal participation from the
26th onward. By mid-May you develop serious ethical questions. After the
Sun enters Gemini, you have an easier time separating the message from the
messenger. If you can foresee challenges to your authority on the 30th,
you'll spend June with a better-defined sense of what you actually
control.
After the Sun arrives in Cancer, expect a surge of
honesty among focus groups and other opinion providers. Favorable reviews
and special offers make you a regular member of the inner circle in late
July and mid-August. You may notice that your professional support system
has undergone a complete revolution. After August 24th, keep your phone
and email lists current under the Virgo Sun. If you need an associate's
help in the future, you want to be sure this person is still talking to
you. Labor Day feels like a fresh start, recalling the childhood
anticipation of a new school year. Eagerness to learn is always good for
your career.
Your influence expands after September 27th. Others come
to your aid or buy your product because they want to, not because they
have to. But fame is fickle, and your public seeks a different flavor of
the month around October 25th. Even if this shift isn't your fault, spin
control becomes your responsibility. It doesn't help when an event in
early November precipitates a personal crisis. Good will and increased
revenue save you between Thanksgiving and the December holidays. Maybe
this hasn't been your most successful year on record, but how do you
measure real success? Wait until you get the last word from your
accountant.
