Mars, your ruler and the planet of energy, ambition and drive spends the first half of June retrograding in your 5th house of romance, self-fulfillment and creativity. 2010 will start off slowly and it won’t really get going until Jupiter, planet of lucky breaks and opportunity moves into your sign temporarily June 7-July 22 (he then retrogrades in your sign July 23 – Sep 10). 2010 is a stop start year and a time when you may feel as if you take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. But you will be moving forward slowly but surely and it’s a year when you have to realize the blessings in front of you. Stop looking for more. Focus on the gifts the Universe brings your way and be happy with those gifts.

The 2nd half of the year is definitely better than the first half. The first three months are very tricky with Mars out of phase in Leo. Leos are people who ‘get you’ and will ‘get you’ even more so this year. April on you rock!

Love

Singles: Your mojo’s off through early March, but picks up again with a visit from Venus, the love maker March 8-April 3. Unleash your inner Fergie. Shave your legs, pluck those bushy eyebrows. Your New Moon April 14 opens the door for someone new and exciting, as does the Leo New Moon August 9. Leos, Sagittarians and Gemini’s are your best matches in 2010.

Couples: Mars retrograding through early March in your romance zone has you on a semi-sex-love-strike of sorts. Luckily that changes come mid-March and into April. Spice up your relationship with some sexy lingerie and toys. Want out? Two back to back Full Moons in your sign, September 23 and October 22 give you two chances to break up once and for all.

Career

2010 starts off slow career wise with Mars out of phase in your self-fulfillment zone. You do a slap dash job of pretty much everything until April, when control freak Saturn returns to your hard work zone. April – June will go either way. Retrenchment or a horrid new boss could have you looking for a new gig. August brings interesting new career developments and starting your own business interests you in October.

Money

Avoid anything risky through April. Keep your meager savings socked away in the bank. Be careful of losing your purse or having your identity stolen in May. July’s a money making month and that long awaited pay raise/perk finally arrives in November.

Travel

Help put the zing back into your love life with a trip somewhere exotic around the Full Moon May 27. November is also a wonderful time for a girls getaway.

Lucky 2010 day: June 7

Lucky month: April

Your 2010 mantra: Stay in your lane Aries. Know when to speed up, overtake or slow down.
