Planets House Positions

Transiting Venus in Second House

Venus, planet of love and indulgence, will move for a few weeks through your second house which rules personal finances, so you will spend more extravagantly than usual. You will adore the beautiful, luxurious and expensive things of life. Your taste will be impeccable, so you might even consider earning money either from creative skills or from your eye for what is fine and elegant. Just have a care that your extravagances are not outrunning your budget, or that you become a touch too materialistic, or possessive. Venus is the planet of love so occasionally you may muddle love and money and assume if you are not being given lavish presents that you are not really valued. Emotionally you will be more intense, slightly fixed in your attitudes, even sensual, and will want to have tangible gestures of affection to make you feel appreciated and wanted. Jealousy could be a tiny problem.

Transiting Mars in Ninth house

For the next few weeks with Mars in your 9th house you will be in an unusually vocal mood wanting to shout your opinions from the rooftops. Your mind is extremely active and you are curious to learn more about almost everything. Anyone who disagrees with you will have a fight on their hands as you defend your position with vigour and vehemence. But though you have wonderful abilities as a propagandist and evangelist at this time watch you are not trying to ram your views down other people's throats. Gentle persuasion often works better than brute force. Your mind is struggling with more elevated topics like philosophy and religion as well as general education. You may well be planning more long distance travel as well.

Transiting Jupiter in Sixth house

You are now in a phase of several months with Jupiter in your 6th house when the atmosphere at work becomes a great deal more harmonious. Tensions in working relationships will ease and you should find support and encouragement around you. Although great success is not necessarily forecast you could find improved job conditions include more money and certainly more praise. Your health should blossom as well. Any minor ailments from the past will recover remarkably quickly. Though you may find Jupiter's tendency to expansiveness not wonderfully good for keeping you slim. Over indulgences are a real danger and diets will slide for lack of will power.

Transiting Saturn in Fifth house

Saturn passes through your fifth house for two or three years though it may move out for brief periods at either end of that time span. You are having to learn hard lesson about love now and it may be that you feel life to be chilly and rather gloomy where it was once relaxing and indulgent. Love and your social life will seem more like work than work at times. You may feel loved ones and children to be a heavy responsibility now but out of this testing time for affairs of the heart could come some truly valuable insights which will help to give you strength in the future. Perhaps you need to learn about self-control and setting limits is romance. This is not a time to speculate on the stock market or invest money in high risk ventures.

Transiting Uranus in Second house

Uranus spends more than five years in your second house though it may move out for brief periods at either end of this time span. Now you must tighten your seat belt for a rather roller coaster ride in your financial life though that need not necessarily be bad. Larger lump sums than usual will come in and go out so you must have set up a flexible enough system to cope with an uneven flow of money. You must also seek out ways to diversify - perhaps different sources of income or different ways of handling the money you already possess. You will be inclined to act too impulsively at times and disregard advice. Inspired hunches may also lead you into making large gains. You need to try to discover what other things hold value for you in life apart from money.

Transiting Neptune in Second house

Neptune stays around your second house for over ten years though it may for brief periods at either end move into the house before or after. Finances may be confused, uncertain and rather undermining through this time though it partly depends on how grounded and sensible you are able to be. Your need to be sympathetic or generous may get in the way of common sense and security. Somehow you feel that being materialistic is beneath you. You want to be idealistic and spiritual about money and your possessions which generally means being out of touch with reality. If you are able to hold practical values as well as understanding there are other more intangible treasures in the world you could do well. But you may be forced to lose certain financial securities for a time to learn that you do have values which are nothing to do with money.

Transiting Pluto in Twelfth house

Pluto will stay for many years in your 12th house, which rules psychological and hidden matters. Pluto is the planet of depth, and slow transformation. You will be exploring your past and your inner psychology at this time to find more self- awareness and understanding. At the start you may be wary that you might dig up unpleasant facets of your personality, which have been previously hidden from view. But in reality you will find, through unexpected encounters or situations, that you are a good deal more resourceful, resilient and a richer personality that you had imagined. You will want to spend time on your own or in peaceful places during this long sojourn, since being around too many people will make you feel over loaded. You will need more time to re-centre yourself since other people will make you feel jangled or even depressed. You will be open to the emotional atmosphere around you a good deal more than in the past. This is part of a long clearing out process where you come to terms with the past and let it go.

Month by Month Chronology

December 5: Transiting Venus Sextile Neptune
Venus in soft aspect to your Neptune will make you romantic, seductive and daydreamy. You will have your head in a pink-tinted cloud, filled with amazing fantasies. There could be intriguing compliments, interesting propositions but you could also become slightly disillusioned if you are not careful. Maybe you are pitching your hopes too high or falling in love with love. If you keep your feet on the ground and see close partners as they are this will bring a sweetness to your relationship. Your kindness will be obvious to everyone who meets you, since you will be really sensitive to others' needs. Just do not fall for a sob story or have your good nature taken for granted. You will also be able to turn your creative talents to good use but you need to be practical as well as idealistic.

December 7: Transiting Venus Sextile Moon
Venus in soft aspect to your Moon will make you yearn for peace, bliss, harmony and perfection especially at home or in your family relationships. Venus is charming, lazy and indulgent so you will want to keep the peace at all costs, avoiding rough edges and bad temper. Just watch you do not set up a disappointment for yourself by expecting too much. You may not stand up for yourself since you will dislike confrontations more than usual. Venus close to the Moon can make you passive rather than active. Over eating can be one minor downside since you want to make yourself feel pampered and adored, possibly by eating sweet or rich food. You may consider adding elegant touches to the décor at home to create a beautiful ambience to match your yearnings.

December 10: Transiting Venus Trine Sun
Venus in soft aspect to your Sun will bring a charming glow to your face, and an indulgent mood to match. There is romance in the air, of a light hearted variety, so be on the look out. All your encounters will flow easily since your tactful approach will boost your popularity. The only problem may be that you cannot be bothered to work hard, be practical or do anything in depth. You would much prefer someone else to shoulder the boring chores. Luckily your skills at sweet-talking should do the trick. Irresistible luxuries may float past which you absolutely must have. Spending money will be all too easy. But you do deserve a reward.

December 11: Transiting Mars Sextile Ascendant
You will come across to others as active, aggressive and not a little competitive. You could be on a fairly short fuse at times and maybe blow your top too rapidly . Mars is not the most sensitive of energies and can come across as insensitive and rather brash though here it is a little mellower than usual. You can really communicate with vigour and others could be infected by your boisterous exuberance. You want to make decisions, take the initiative and be the one in a leadership role.

December 12: Transiting Venus Trine Uranus
Venus in soft aspect to your Uranus may bring romance your way unexpectedly. You are certainly in the mood for flirtations and fun, for spreading your social favours around generously, and are definitely on the look out for adventure. You will not want to be tied into one partner, too much work, or tedious social occasions. If you are possessive or jealous, you may feel slightly insecure since Uranus will make you let go control. But allowing a breath of fresh air blow through your love life will revive your interest. Anything new, experimental or slightly risque will appeal to you, so your love making could be more fun. Presents may appear suddenly or compliments which will make you sparkle with confidence.

December 12: Transiting Jupiter Trine Uranus
These are genuinely lucky influences which should produce sudden breakthroughs or bolts from the blue which allow you to see new vistas ahead. Opportunities to travel may turn up unexpectedly or small bonuses or some kind of fortunate event which makes you see that life is not as narrow or restricted as you had imagined. This is a time to take risks and dare to be a little unconventional. You will gain new insights, be more inventive, and take an independent point of view.

December 15: Transiting Venus Square Saturn
Venus in hard aspect to your Saturn may make you feel you are being emotionally deprived, but it can also bring a touch of cool sophistication to your appearance. With effort you will find a balance between pleasure and duty. You may also be able to turn your creative skills to a practical use. Venus is charming but lazy, while Saturn is rigidly hard working, so it is a slightly uncomfortable combination. But you will with a winning smile be able to soften the coldness of Saturn, and may find yourself cheering up older people or workmates. This is a useful aspect if you have to organise parties or other entertainment, or take responsibility for loved ones.

December 17: Transiting Venus Trine Mercury
Venus in soft aspect to your Mercury will make all your communications tactful and harmonious whether you are telephoning, writing letters or involved in face-to face conversations. Romantic messages may come winging your way or compliments to make you feel appreciated. This is not the time to tackle deep issues unless you have other stronger influences around. You may feel you are skimming the surface, but why not? Give yourself a treat. Whisper sweet nothings in the right ears and you will be delighted with the response. This is definitely the time to pour oil on troubled waters. You will certainly not feel inclined to confront difficulties or awkward companions since you do not want any trouble. But if you agree to everything just to keep the peace, you may find yourself in a sticky spot in several days time. Be charmingly firm if the occasion demands it.

December 18: Transiting Mars Conjunct Midheaven
You are ambitious, competitive, aggressive and very hard working. All your drive, determination and passionate enthusiasm are going into work. You intend to be the one making the decisions and coming out on top. Anyone who gets in your way is likely to be swept aside but do watch that you are not coming across as intimidating or threatening. You can arouse more opposition to your plans by being insensitive. This is a real chance to win if you handle yourself correctly.

December 18: Transiting Mars in Tenth house
For the next few weeks with Mars in your 10th house you will be working hard to achieve your ambitions at work and out in the world. No one will accuse you of lacking courage or being too timid as you push rivals out of the way. You intend to make your mark. Boss figures may find you a little threatening as you obviously intend to take over the decisive role. Be aware that charging ahead in a headstrong way could run you into problems. Try to find a little tact and subtlety as a counter balance, and sweep companions up in your enthusiasm. You should be able to praise yourself for your accomplishments at the end of this time.

December 19: Transiting Pluto Sextile Jupiter
You can expect rather magic things to happen in your life which will bring confidence, success and a great deal of money. Almost anything you want or turn your hand to should produce larger results that you expected. You are willing to put your back into projects and that combined with a rare streak of good luck should make your fortune more secure. You really can turn thoughts into things. You will not take no for an answer nor allow anything or anyone to stand in your way. Social niceties will be swept aside as you fly ahead with great conviction. You could get yourself into trouble if you think you are above the law or do not need to stay this side of regulation.

December 19: Transiting Venus Trine Jupiter
Venus in soft aspect to your Jupiter will bring a blissfully indulgent few days, when all you want to do is relax, laze around, eat, overspend and generally luxuriate. You may find presents coming your way, or good news to boost your morale. Unless you have other sterner influences you will be avoiding hard work and chores like the plague. You may skim the surface, and avoid facing the harsher realities of life but why not? Take every chance you can get to switch off. Your sugary sweet approach may come across as slightly insincere at times so try to stand your ground occasionally. But you will find it easier to smooth rifts in relationships or reach out to meet people, since your charm and confidence will be infectious.

December 20: Transiting Saturn Trine Pluto
These herald tough times when you feel held back by adverse circumstances. You have little option but to find patience, perseverance and let dogged determination see you through. You have the courage and toughness required to see you through to easier times. You will obviously not be laughing and singing through this phase but it is also important not to get too gloomy. You will almost certainly be held back by things outside your control maybe outer events in society. Be reassured that others are feeling much as you do. You must change now of that there is no doubt though you will feel like resisting. You can get right down into the depths to new levels of understanding and if you do have to push your more sensitive feelings to one side for a while you will still learn a great deal that is beneficial.

December 22: Transiting Jupiter in Fifth house
You are now in a phase of several months with Jupiter in your 5th house when your social self-confidence will soar. You want to be enjoying a livelier lifestyle where you can flirt, have fun and aim for leisure, pleasure and entertainment.

Romance is on the cards as well as you learn to like yourself better and feel no need to apologise for your inadequacies.

December 23: Transiting Jupiter Square Venus
You will be indulgent, lazy, sugary sweet and adorably charming. At a social level you will thrive but your smiles may only be surface deep. You want peace at all costs and are pouring oil on troubled water. Watch you are not aiming too much for the superficial pleasures of life and ignoring more serious matters. Though you will undoubtedly take the strain off yourself now. You will not find it easy to motivate yourself to do specialised or meticulous, detailed work. You want the beautiful, luxury or artistic things of life around.

December 28: Transiting Mars Sextile Mars
Watch out for firework displays as your exuberance and temper start to rise. The heat is definitely turned up! Try to channel your energy in constructive directions otherwise you could clash unnecessarily with close companions and waste all that wonderful red hot fuel. It could be a great time to get new projects off the ground or for doing anything sporting or physical. Though you have to watch out for minor accidents or being too headstrong.

December 28: Transiting Mars Sextile Venus
You have a positively passionate enthusiasm for almost everything in life but your romantic life should particularly benefit. You are throwing all your energy and libido into expressing your feelings with force and depth. Pleasuring yourself comes high on your list of priorities so you are seeking out fun companions and wholehearted workmates. Extravagances, indulgences and excesses are likely in all the luxury areas of life.

December 30: Transiting Jupiter Trine Sun
Jupiter is the bringer of health, wealth and good fortune so your confidence should be high. Opportunities are all around for you to expand your life in so many different ways. Luck is on your side but it can always be improved by a little extra thought and hard work. Nothing can dent your enthusiasm but watch that lack of realism does not send you headlong into madcap schemes. You might assume that life is going to be delivered to you on a silver platter so you bite off more than you can chew or promise more than you can deliver. But everything is undoubtedly easier and you feel more tolerant.

December 31: Transiting Venus Square Neptune
Venus in hard aspect to your Neptune can be blissfully romantic and seductive, but you could also be allowing yourself to drift off on a pink cloud, which is not attached to reality. You want perfect love experiences which have no rough edges, but you may be in danger of being in love with love. Try to see close partners as they are, not as you want them to be, otherwise you will set yourself up for disappointment. You will feel sympathetic to almost everyone you meet and will be very sensitive to their needs, but you have to watch that your good nature is not taken for granted. Be affectionate and kind, but also be hard headed and protect yourself.

January 2001

January 2: Transiting Venus in Third House
Venus, planet of love and indulgence, will for a few weeks move through your third house which rules everyday communications, so you will have a charming and tactful way of speaking and writing. Your harmonious way of expressing yourself and wonderful way with words will guarantee that you can be highly persuasive. You will want to read more when you have a moment, especially literature and poetry, of the romantic variety. Nothing will make you happier than peaceful conversations with friends, neighbours, brothers and sisters or workmates. Angry confrontations and vulgar language will be given a wide berth. Good at cocktail party chit-chat, you may sometimes come across as slightly superficial because you are flitting lightly from subject to subject, preferring to keep the mood upbeat, rather than delve into intense discussions on dark subjects.

January 6: Transiting Mars Opposite Saturn
These are tough times when only patience, perseverance and self discipline will see you through. Forget about indulgences, whims or getting your own way. Frustrations, delays and set-backs will have your teeth on edge and your temper bubbling below the surface. You could be accident prone so do watch out especially when your irritations boil over. You will veer between being too passive and being too forceful. Tact will be lacking when you explode. But you can be assured that you will achieve a great deal if you just hang on in there. You may be gloomy but you are being realistic.

January 6: Transiting Venus Sextile Mars
Venus in soft aspect to your Mars will bring passion into your life. At the very least you will find yourself passionately enthusiastic about whatever tasks you have in hand. But romance should be around and love-making will certainly prove more than satisfying since your libido is zinging up to the high notes. Your physical energy will be high and your attractiveness obvious to all. Venus adds diplomacy and charm to the dynamic, lustful drive of Mars so you can go far in whatever you tackle whether in your emotional life or elsewhere. Any arguments or confrontations will work well since you can sweep companions up in your wake. They will appreciate your robustly positive attitude rather than disagreeing.

January 6: Transiting Venus Opposite Venus
Venus in hard aspect to your Venus will make you shamelessly pleasure-seeking and rather lazy. You will want to party, flirt and play away these few days unless there are stronger influences in place. In which case this will add a sparkle to your daily routines. Though your lazy streak will make chores more difficult to finish. Romance could be on offer and love-making will certainly be more rewarding. Extravagances and indulgences are likely as you decide to treat yourself like a movie star. Your charm will bring close companions round to your way of thinking and they can be persuaded to lavish more attention on you. Just do not expect miracles. If you are realistic this will bring the icing on the cake, but there is a slight danger of you building castles in the air.

January 11: Transiting Venus Sextile Saturn
Venus in soft aspect to your Saturn may dampen your feelings slightly make you feel emotionally detached, but it has the advantage of making you appear rather sophisticated and elegant. You will be able to turn your creative skills to practical use, and to be helpful to loved ones. Venus brings affection, charm and a softer touch to Saturn's rather chilly, self-disciplined approach. You will get on well with influential people at work or older family members and friends. Saving money will not make you feel deprived, since you will recognise the benefits of security. This is a useful aspect if you are organising entertainment or social activities, or taking responsibilities for children or loved ones.

January 18: Transiting Mars in Eleventh house
For the next few weeks with Mars in your 11th house you will want to throw your energy wholeheartedly into friendships and team efforts . You have had a time of making decisions on your own and being bossy but now you are happy to submerge your stronger feelings in group situations, though co-operation will not always be easy. This is the time to make long-term plans and see where you are going over the next few weeks and months. Setting your goals is crucial for otherwise you will have no sense of purpose or direction over the next phase of your life.

January 28: Transiting Venus Opposite Pluto

You will need to watch that being a touch manipulative does not upset loved ones or companions. You will definitely be manoeuvring situations round to your needs. Jealousy or possessiveness could get in the way, so smile sweetly even if your teeth are gritted behind.

January 29: Transiting Venus Trine Neptune
Please see text for December 5 (Trines and Sextiles have the same influence)

February 2001

February 1: Transiting Venus Conjunct Moon
Venus in soft aspect to your Moon will make you yearn for peace, bliss, harmony and perfection especially at home or in your family relationships. Venus is charming, lazy and indulgent so you will want to keep the peace at all costs, avoiding rough edges and bad temper. Just watch you do not set up a disappointment for yourself by expecting too much. You may not stand up for yourself since you will dislike confrontations more than usual. Venus close to the Moon can make you passive rather than active. Over eating can be one minor downside since you want to make yourself feel pampered and adored, possibly by eating sweet or rich food. You may consider adding elegant touches to the décor at home to create a beautiful ambience to match your yearnings.

February 5: Transiting Venus Opposite Sun
Venus in hard aspect to your Sun will make you lazy, super-indulgent and determined to avoid hassle and aggravation at all costs. You will want to skim the surface, and leave harsh reality to someone else. Venus, was the goddess of parties, grand purchases, light hearted romance, who left her poor spouse at home doing all the donkey work. But for all its irresponsible streak, Venus will help to make your life a little easier. It adds a sprinkling of icing sugar to difficulties, makes communications harmonious, and gives you an overdose of charm. If you absolutely have to do practical chores, keep forcing yourself to concentrate otherwise you will get careless and have to return at a later date to do it all over again.

February 5: Transiting Mars Sextile Pluto
Your determination to go your own way could be awesome now. Nothing will be allowed to stand in your way if your blood really gets up. Though you could find yourself on the receiving end of these influences if you are too passive and someone else could try to ride roughshod over you. These are highly ambitious, almost ruthless energies which need to be handled with extreme care. Watch you do not put yourself into high risk situations where you could be frightened . Frustrations are likely and bouts of irritability. It is only through fairly brutal effort that you will achieve what you want. But beware being too dominating, manipulative, or over intense.

February 6: Transiting Venus Square Mars
Venus in hard aspect to your Mars is passionate, enthusiastic and high in physical energy though you may find it slightly tricky to get the right balance between what you want and what will suit others. Mars is dynamically energetic though can be slightly abrasive where Venus is all charm. So you may find yourself acting out one end of these energies while close companions act out the other. Try to get your lust and your sensitivity in harmony and then all will go well. Physical love making should be satisfying because you will be more wholehearted than usual. But even at work you will find your physical energy and chutzpah are more evident than usual. You will want projects to go well.

February 8: Transiting Venus Opposite Uranus
Venus in hard aspect to your Uranus will bring unexpected propositions or romantic opportunities your way. You will definitely be on the lookout for social adventures or flirtations. In long running relationships, you will want to make room for your own individual needs. Anything new, experimental or out of the ordinary will appeal more than usual, so your love-making could be rather stimulating. If partners are clinging or possessive you will want to make a run for it. This is a time not to be tied down or pushed in a corner. There could also be unexpected presents coming your way.

February 8: Transiting Mars Conjunct Neptune
This is a time when you could turn your dreams into reality or alternatively find your forward drive undermined by panic and uncertainty. You must try to harness your energy behind your visions and fantasies and make them work out. It is likely that you will disappear into rather romantic or over glamorous daydreams to satisfy your need for a life that is not dull, routine and rather drab. But it would be a mistake to do nothing. Find the courage to make your life more than it is. Romantically and sexually you are likely to be questioning what it is you really want. You could find that your charms come across as mysterious and others are seduced by your attractiveness. You could be involved in events which gain you publicity.

February 12: Transiting Mars Trine Moon
You will find yourself flying into action at home. You are determined to sweep the furniture and the family into shape but do beware a tendency to be a little too sharp at points. You could hurt sensitive feelings. At points you may feel like a mini volcano about to overflow. Mar is not the most sensitive of energies and the Moon really needs nurturing and protecting not railroaded into over hasty action. Whatever happens avoid alcohol since that will tend to make your irritability worse rather than better. If you can channel your over abundance of red hot energy in constructive directions you could achieve a great deal. Try your hand at DIY. You have a lot of energy for improving your surroundings or life situations. You are very motivated to improve. There could be some hard feelings, especially from younger persons, if you become too aggressive.

February 16: Transiting Venus Opposite Mercury
Venus in hard aspect to your Mercury will make you silky sweet in conversations and highly adept at smoothing over problems. There may be intriguing messages coming your way of a romantic nature. Return the compliment but take nothing too seriously. These are frivolously light hearted influences, which will add a sparkle even if you have heavier influences in place at the same time. You will want to act as the peacemaker or diplomat, pouring oil on troubled waters. If anyone gets argumentative or negative, you will attempt to cheer them up or divert their criticisms. But watch a tendency not to stand up firmly for your beliefs. You will sound insincere if you agree just for the sake of peace and quiet.

February 19: Transiting Mars Sextile Sun
You will be dynamic, energetic and downright aggressive because you are determined to follow your own inclinations. Luckily the easier aspect makes it possible for Mars' hot tempered energy to be channelled in sensible directions. You are less likely to sweep aside people who get in your way though your irritation could spill out into the open. Do watch since Mars is never very sensitive. If you can harness the energy properly then you can achieve a great deal because you have courage, confidence and drive. You will, however, have a minor tendency to rush in where angels fear to tread and could leap before you look. Being headstrong and hasty may not be the best answer. You could be accident prone or take too many risks if involved in sport. You are feeling just a little macho. Try to cultivate a little serenity and self control.

You have a positively passionate enthusiasm for almost everything in life . You are throwing all your energy and libido into expressing your feelings with force and depth. Pleasuring yourself comes high on your list of priorities so you are seeking out fun companions and wholehearted workmates. Extravagances, indulgences and excesses are likely in all the luxury areas of life. But watch you are not being a little insensitive in your love life. You may be expecting what you do not give. Or indeed the reverse may be the case with lovers expecting you to be in tune with their needs while they follow their own inclinations.

February 20: Transiting Mars in Twelfth house
For the next few weeks with Mars in your 12th house you may feel vaguely uneasy and rather held back. You will achieve very little by direction action or confrontation. Indeed the harder you push the less you may succeed so it might be as well to develop patience. You must throw your energy into behind-the- scenes activity or learn to pull strings a little more subtly. Others can be made to dance to your tune if you cannot dance it yourself. Concentrate on finding out why your anger is so trapped and on finding why certain of your actions are self- defeating.

February 21: Transiting Venus Opposite Jupiter
Venus in hard aspect to your Jupiter will bring you moments of sheer bliss and luxury. You will be tempted to overspend, eat too much or tell little white lies to keep the peace and get out of trouble. Work will not hold much pleasure for you, so you will try to charm companions into taking more than their share of the boring chores. Unless there are sterner influences around you will definitely want to play truant and why not, if you can get away with it? This may be the perfect time to smooth over any rifts or tensions since you will have the ability to put everyone at their ease. Your popularity should be rising fast.

February 23: Transiting Mars Sextile Uranus
These are days when no one is going to interfere with your aims, ambitions and desire. You will do things your way or not at all. You are exuberantly independent , rebellious and downright wayward at times. But you are also gloriously inspired and will find your energy is bubbling over in super abundance. You feel like being different, trying something new and unusual. The more you stick to routine the less you will achieve. This is a perfect time for all out experimentation, new ideas anything that could be a real breakthrough. You may have more courage than sense but it will pay off. You want speed and high excitement, anything with a little risk attached will appeal.

February 28: Transiting Jupiter in Sixth house
You are now in a phase of several months with Jupiter in your 6th house when the atmosphere at work becomes a great deal more harmonious. Tensions in working relationships will ease and you should find support and encouragement around you. Although great success is not necessarily forecast you could find improved job conditions include more money and certainly more praise. Your health should blossom as well. Any minor ailments from the past will recover remarkably quickly. Though you may find Jupiter's tendency to expansiveness not wonderfully good for keeping you slim. Over indulgences are a real danger and diets will slide for lack of will power.
