Think globally, act locally, Aries! On Wednesday, January 30, lucky, benevolent Jupiter wakes up from a four-month nap and powers forward in Gemini and your third house. Translation: action is definitely heating up close to home for you. The people in your neighborhood could become your greatest supporters while Jupiter holds this position until June 25. Alert the local media if you have something buzzworthy in the works. You might just find yourself the cover story in the Arts & Leisure section of the Sunday paper or giving a bold interview on the morning news. The third house rules partnerships, usually of the platonic variety, and a dynamic duo could get off the ground this week. You may have already met your other half, as Jupiter has been in Gemini since last June 11. But the retrograde–which began on October 4, 2012–could have stalled your plans to collaborate. Second time may be a charm, Aries, so give that promising partnership another shot. If you have an idea for a mobile app or online store, call the developers! You could strike gold, Aries. Some Rams may wind up commuting between two cities at a more frequent pace over the next five months. This can be both exhilarating and exhausting, so make a plan to take home on the road with you. Think: Spotify playlists of your favorite songs, framed mini photos to set up at each destination, on-the-go snacks that dont throw your nutritional goals out of whack. And dont forget the audiobooks for your journey. Your mind is extra hungry for knowledge during this Jupiter phase. On Friday, February 1, your ruling planet Mars drifts into dreamy Pisces and your twelfth house, activating your subconscious mind. Divine inspiration comes flooding in while Mars holds this position until March 11. Make time for your creative side to flourish, Aries. You might even dive into Julia Camerons classic tome, The Artists Way, for this journey. Rather than forcing and pushing, Mars in the twelfth house wants you to use The Law Of Attraction to manifest. Check out Gabrielle Bernsteins May Cause Miracles for a day-by-day guide to getting in the flow of the universes abundant offerings. Do watch out for that paranoid streak of yours, Aries. Mars can aggravate your fears and anxieties for the next six weeks, prompting you to blow things waaaaaay out of proportion. Working with a coach, therapist, shaman, or spiritual guide can help you make sense of the madness. Drop that stubborn streak and get a mentor. Life doesnt have to be such a struggle, even if you WOULD prefer to do it all on your own. Also on Friday, loveplanet Venus shifts gears, moving into Aquarius and your affable eleventh house for three weeks. Call off the skywriters and cancel the reservation at the stuffy romantic restaurant. In affairs of the heart, you need to adopt a more playful, laid back approach until February 25. A bit of a bummer if youd been dreaming of an intense V-Day moment, but your telenovela moment will come in March. Group hangouts can serve up plenty of romantic bonding opportunities, especially if you and your sweetie merge your respective social circles. Keep it down to earth. Bowling, karaoke, heading to the club en massesharing good times is what its all about. Single Rams could meet a hot prospect this way too. Theres nothing better than falling for a friend of a friend, after all, since you can also check references without hiring a P.I.!

General Characteristics of Aries

Aries is ruled by Mars, the fiery red planet of energy and drive. In mythology, Mars was the god of war and aggression. Highly impatient and competitive, many Aries have the fighting spirit of your mythological ruler. You love to be a hero--or to be swept away by one. As the zodiac's first sign, you were born to be number one. You're a solo star who steals the spotlight and inspires everyone with your confidence. Yeah, you can be impatient, even a little bossy, especially when you don't get your way. As the "baby" of the zodiac, you need lots of attention, and can throw quite the tantrum when you don't get it. Fortunately, you rarely have a problem turning heads. Your friends love to follow as you lead them on the latest adventure. Make sure to let other people be the boss every now and then, too, or you could alienate potential allies. Focus your competitive streak into a diva-worthy goal, delegate to your troops, and you'll rise to the top!
