Overview for 2008
Work and health matters dominate 2008. As Mars is retrograde until 31 January you may be in a flurry of mental activity, and find yourself seeking advice, and finally able to begin the year in February. With Jupiter and Pluto in your professional sector, advancement at work is limited, but working towards a future goal is best. Your health sector now has Saturn there for the next two years. This is no reason for you to be unwell, but if you are, your diet and vitamin/mineral needs may be the cause. 2008 is likely to bring a program of reform into both your work and health.

Personal Opportunities for Aries:
Times of Opportunity: The Sun enters Aries on 20 March remaining until 19 April; Mercury from 3-17 April and Venus 6-30 April. These times bring more positive energies for you to advance yourself or feel most effective. Mars in Leo from 10 May to 7 July gives you drive and enthusiasm and when Mars is in Sagittarius from 16 November to 27 December you are more optimistic and travel more than other times this year.

Personal Challenges for Aries:
January and July are traditionally the most challenging months of any year, as they represent two of the Cardinal signs: Capricorn and Cancer. As Mars will travel through Cancer from 4 March to 9 May this time can be challenging emotionally, with family or those you live with.

Relationships/Finances for Aries:
The months of September/October stand out as far as relating to other people is concerned. In these months Mars, Venus, Sun and Mercury all travel through your relationship sector. Mercury will make an extended stay from 29 August until 4 November, moving into a retrograde phase from 24 September until 16 October. Mercury involves communication, sometimes words between people can breakdown or change direction around the retrograde. Mars's presence can also bring heated discussions.

The best month for personal investment is April and for partnership or joint finances September before the 24th, or after 16th October until early in November.

Career for Aries:
Jupiter in this sector can bring advancement, but it does not fall into your lap. You need to prove yourself now to your boss or superior. Pluto in this sector as an experimental force from January-June can allow some to completely move from one career to another. This can instil an ambitious attitude in those seeking to climb the corporate ladder - it can also bring power struggles into the workplace. Pluto moving back to Sagittarius June-November can be the time for an ultimate decision.
