A Cardinal Fire Sign - First Sign of the Zodiac - Ruled by the planet Mars

MARCH 21 – APRIL 20
2010 PROSPECTS FOR ARIES

2010 SUMMARY
The combined pressures of the past lift after June – but watch out for rising costs.

THE YEAR AHEAD
Lively trends continue through the coming year, which is the good news. The less good news is that you may still be rushed off your feet. Don’t worry too much, though, for Saturn, planet of hard work, is constantly pushing you in the best direction. Get it right and you can work hard and play hard – and all at the same time. June and July could be excellent months for leisure, creativity and relationships with children and all the young at heart. You may be rediscovering your enthusiastic, naive spirit, bringing to life again a spontaneity which you have had to bottle up over the years.

LOVE AND ROMANCE
As January opens you find yourself entering a period of transition. A dilemma may arise in your social life, and you will have to go to great lengths to ensure that partners are content with your activities. Romantic concerns may well be taking precedence over work in the first part of the year for the simple reason that professional matters may be so complicated that you do not know which way to turn – and it’s easy to enjoy a spot of emotional escapism. However, there’s also inspiration in the air, so don’t be tempted to sit around waiting for people to come your way without any effort on your part. Take the initiative!

KEY DATE:
Late March brings your peak romantic powers.

CAREER AND MONEY
The first part of your year is important for money matters, and a good time for you to start re-examining your whole approach to cash. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Study is in the air, so spend your time picking up new skills and acquiring fresh experience. Assuming that you’ve increased your financial options, June could well find you receiving pennies from heaven. It could be an excellent month for leisure and pleasure and for getting your ideas across. But where colleagues are concerned, do beware, and if you have been taking advantage of someone else you may now be getting more than you bargained for in return.

HOME AND FAMILY
Now that the planets are once again gathering in inspirational parts of your chart, you may be even more determined to create your own domestic paradise. However, you know better than most that real life is not always as it seems, and between January and July you could be pushing the bounds of what is possible. Freedom beckons, as does more space and luxury, so seize every offer that comes your way – at least until you can see whether it’s going to work or not. Even though you are still poised to rid yourself of various personal constraints, you may have to wait a little longer yet. Patience will be rewarded.

BE CAUTIOUS
Don’t bend the rules in June or July.

TIP FOR THE YEAR
Put one hundred per cent effort into achieving your goals.
