ARIES 21 MARCH - 19 APRIL

Aries Year
2003 OVERVIEW:
Expect your New Year to start with an expectant whisper. The first three weeks
of January will be slow and thoughtful, with lots of time for reflection. Use
this time to learn new lessons. March finds you organized and orderly, with
strong priorities and good follow-through. From the 1st to the 19th, all
planets are direct, removing the element of surprise. This doesn't happen
often -- make the best of your luck.
As Spring begins, your confidence soars and your energy peaks the meters. There's a way to use everything you know, as if the universe has plotted your arc of experiences to make you the most effective person around. Maybe it's the season of rebirth and renewal, but your birthday so often puts you back in touch with who you really are as the Sun comes to Aries. By April's end, you recognize that the good times can't last forever. Old, familiar dreams loom large once again. It still might not be possible to make them happen, but now you see them as puzzles to solve instead of visions to sweep you away in helpless adoration. But don't assume that you've completely conquered your emotions.
The first month of Summer stirs your passions and insecurities, leading you to wonder if adolescence is truly behind you. Follow the Sun into Leo instead of wandering in your unlit fantasy realm. Otherwise, late August could throw you into a loop or downward spiral of futile perfectionism when dark, eccentric Pluto goes direct on the 26th.
September is a time of sober reflections for the undecided, although if you channel them into solo efforts, October promises great rewards. When presenting your accomplishments to an unready public, you may end up feeling exposed or misunderstood. Between Thanksgiving and the Winter holidays, you come into your own once again. Others notice your accomplishments, either for the first time or with renewed interest. Use December to appreciate your most loyal friends. The onset of Winter connects you viscerally with all that's cold and dark. If you don't like the reminder, surround yourself with loved ones, or end the year in a warm, bright place. Be sure to make your travel plans well in advance.
