| The movements of the Sun and Moon, together with the inner planets Mercury, Venus and Mars, are useful for considering ongoing events on a daily, weekly and even monthly basis. But when it comes to trends over the longer term it’s the outer planets that are usually the main focus of any astrologer’s interpretation, since their remoteness from the Sun makes the distance they travel much greater, their orbits proportionally slower as they have further to go, and causes the conditions they precipitate to be of lengthier duration in direct consequence. These ponderous machinations mean the outer planets only shift position infrequently, with maybe one or two variations in an average year, marking the usual rate of evolution you can anticipate. Occasionally though, you arrive at a juncture in your development you’ll especially remember, when the significance of what occurs is reinforced by a more active planetary picture. It’ll help to understand the importance of the next twelve months to appreciate four of the five outer planets alter their sphere of influence in your horoscope during this time, marking a period of ongoing metamorphosis that redefines the basis of everything you’ll do afterwards. Chiron manages to join the fray by switching between two constellations as well, an event that doesn’t take place subsequently until 2018. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all change sign at least once, signalling an episode the like of which hasn’t been seen for several years and won’t be repeated for many more. |

| The only outer planet to remain relatively constant is Pluto, often connected with transformation and currently occupying an area of your horoscope that amplifies this connotation. Pluto suggests a period during which your relationships with other people are being redefined, though not necessarily in the easiest ways, as you confront some deep and often complex issues it would be easier to keep glossing over. This manifests on both a personal level and a professional one, so throughout you would be smart remaining on your guard and not provoking an extreme response from anyone who could inflict lasting damage. Issues of power, control, dominance, jealousy, revenge and passion will never be far away in any link that matters a lot to you, while if you don’t accept the part you play in what is happening around you, circumstances conspire to guarantee some of the toughest lessons until you eventually do. None of this works out badly if you handle Pluto carefully, but the intensity that underlies its manifestation and the relationships thus emphasised, make it hard sometimes to behave so reasonably and rationally as you’d prefer. Money, property and possessions prove noteworthy factors, becoming an outward reflection of how all your associations are being updated, eventually to assume a very different format from that which has characterised them previously. The death of former modes of being, outdated ideas, ties and allegiances that now serve little purpose are all typical, as you wipe clean ancient and stale scenarios, clearing a space for something new. Old connections end, fresh ones are formed, solid contacts deepen and unsound ones fall apart leaving only the debris to argue over. Wherever those who can affect your income are concerned you’d be wise remaining diplomatic, standing up for yourself and what is right but no more, underhanded tactics and throwing your weight around, will soon come bouncing back to you. |

| Otherwise a good method of handling Pluto is getting to grips with your financial affairs, especially where business, shared undertakings, big purchases, investments or outstanding borrowings are concerned. With the top of your horoscope the most highlighted region it’s the year to further your ambitions, particularly but not exclusively from a career point of view. If in the recent past you’ve acquired new skills either formally at college, or in terms of your wider experience instead, then now is the time to bring all you’ve learned to bear. Favoured angles include self-employment, working with modern technology, with those from diverse backgrounds and parts of the world, in community projects, education or other fields where an alternative, idealistic or creative slant predominates. You may discover the course you pursue ultimately isn’t the one you first set out to follow, but authority figures prove surprisingly helpful once you have demonstrated your intentions. Far from being all about the daily grind, the coming months look at what work can do for you rather than the other way around. You should review what you want for yourself and whether the fast-changing atmosphere can help make your situation closer to that you’d imagine in a perfect world. Your home situation has plenty to do with this and a number of tricky issues will need sorting out, especially during the first few months of your year. Subsequently your children remain a big responsibility, yet still you are freer for more fun and frolics later on, whether you have kids already or not. Satisfaction comes from a down-to-earth approach, advancing your ambitions in a steadily practical manner… |
