Aries 2010

Your Horoscope

By , About.com Guide

Historic Change

By the end of 2010, you'll be looking back on a year of unbelievable events. There's a general forecast for social uprising, and you're likely to play a role. All cardinal signs are on notice to prepare to initiate and that means possible leadership in your case.

You're set to go through remarkable personal evolution as well. Uranus, the shaker-upper, hits your sign on May 27th, though you feel its effects much sooner. This is like having electricity moving through your system. It makes you restless, excitable and accident prone. It quickens your rate of change, allowing you to breakthrough old personal limits. You get freed from what's held you back.

This liberation gets zapped into orbit with Jupiter in Aries, aligning with Uranus in June and September, and again in 2011. It's your "lucky" year starting June 6th, with Jupiter's transition into Aries, and unexpected gifts, rewards, friends, allies, and public notoriety falls into your lap. Take time in January to prepare, taking a cue from that saying that luck is opportunity meeting preparation. Keep letting go of what's not working, especially anything lifeless in your life (relationships, beliefs, daily habits).

Exploding Within the Lines

It's a year of jittery excitement about what's possible. But paradoxically, you're sure to run up against "The Man" and his power tripping rules and regulations. This means, too, being combative with anyone that tries to be the boss of you. Watch how you react to authority, since an unwise action could bring serious blowback.

Consider alternative paths of action, or creative ways to rebel, that are more effective than throwing molotov cocktails. You don't have time to waste in verbal sparring with your ex, for example. Let go of dead relationships and dead parts of yourself. When possible, your directed focus and energy on the new, is a better investment, than fighting the old.

It pays to know yourself well, and the illusions you ram up against that keep you from making progress. You may get an unusual amount of resistant from others to your plans, but don't let that discourage. These are tests so you'll see where you should stand strong in your perspective, and where there's room for refinement. This is a big theme for 2010.

You zoom forward when you try to see the other side, and collage together many opinions, weighing them against your own. You have to let go of being right or knowing it all. It's a time of collective visioning, or crowdsourcing. But that doesn't mean you can't be the one that sparks these currents into being with tangible action.

Let's Do It!

Your pioneer spirit can be a lifesaver this year, perhaps even literally. You're able to face impossible situations, and meet conflict head-on. Your example can embolden those around you. You win trust when others sense you have a grasp of practical, boots-on-the ground realities. And you'll win friends when they know you're open to their contribution.

Bottom line, you're a rebel with a cause this year. Your ferocity and will is going to meet a live wire starting in May. It's wise to work on focusing your intention, so your will meets a worthy goal. And it's advisable to do the hard work of meeting your shadow so it doesn't run amok. Be curious about your reactions to people, and notice your triggers. Knowing your own illusions keeps you from falling into traps that tie up your energy.

Your idea of what's possible for your life may change radically this year! Later in 2010, you may see all kinds of doors open that you didn't even know existed. It's a year of sudden surprises -- many of them good -- as you try to keep some semblance of equilibrium. You thrive on the leading edge of creating, and this year brings that feeling in abundance!
