You are entering into the New Year with an essentially positive attitude, Aries, in spite of everything. Even though your career and even your life remains an uncertain proposition, you are moving through this world with grace and courage, awaiting what the next current might bring. By now you are fully aware that the unexpected is your standard fare, and you are also beginning to recognize that allies in the form of friendships and special partners can be a godsend and a mainstay. As you begin setting yourself up for a more integrated future, dialoguing or writing is recommended. The poet Tagore stated about being lost at sea that the three things that were not needed were oars, rudder and the fear of going down. This describes your situation very well.
As the month and year begins, you are riding the wave of the future with verve and determination. It certainly feels like a new year of possibility with the difficulties of the past year behind you, and with a more or less unlimited prospect before. There definitely remain difficulties still to dodge or, by effort, to circumvent. In your case this applies most succinctly to the way that you move yourself forward into the world in what might turn out to be entirely new ways, perhaps partnering with your peers and with those around you that you need to team up with in order to do so.
Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto remain in their intense configuration that perfected in the final ten days of 2012, and that represent social activism and the recognition of profound change. Pluto occupies your tenth sector of career pursuits, while Saturn, the ruler of this sector makes a close aspect to Pluto from the nearby sector of intimacy and personal evolution, so that you are in for deep exploration of your way of being in the world.
You are so good at going it alone that you sometimes feel entirely sufficient, but as the lessons of the outgoing year have perhaps made evident, it is very useful at times to take advantage of the perspectives that helpful others can bring to your table. At the same time, you must admit the essentially solitary nature of your assignment, which lies in recognizing the potential within you for growth and transformation, and in allowing for your own uniqueness, and for the increase in understanding of yourself that will enable these necessary changes to occur.
You thus reside at a balance point between reaching out socially to others around you, with optimism and with the joy of recognizing these others as an important part of your own arc of development, and yet of also accepting the difficult requirement that you must in any case go it alone; bringing your own unique gifts to bear. While you can carry all the faith that you can muster to the task at hand, allowing Spirit as well as others in your life to offer their counsel, after consulting their guidance, you must make your own determination of where to place your slow and faltering yet courageous steps forward.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, January 4th, you are rethinking your priorities. You might find yourself questioning nearly everything that gone before as the new year gains traction, and as you reach for new horizons. Your communication sizzles, as you stretch toward novel internal perspectives and as you adjust your real-world presence to match what you can only just now conceive to be the actual truth of your situation.
The New Moon of Friday, January 11th, gives you fresh energy for your purpose, as you are coming to understand it. Although you are tempted by the more generally accepted goals of day-today concerns and business as usual, there is also a strong impulse to find that sense of deep alignment which is uniquely your own destiny to create. At this time also, you possess great determination to succeed, but only in terms of this elusive sense of soul purpose which you are beginning to get a better handle on as you explore it.
With the First Quarter Moon of Friday, January 18th, there are sure to be temporary road blocks to overcome as you forge your way forward. You are more and more cognizant of the changes that you are going through and that affect your public presence and how you actualize in response to the demands upon you of the world at large. You are trying to manage things on all levels at once, without overlooking what you feel in your heart to be the mandate of inner guidance. It is a tricky tightrope to walk but the rewards are implicit in the striving.
The Full Moon of Saturday, January 26th, represents a powerful juncture, when your creative output is on the line, and when you strongly feel the presence of angel voices that enable you to vision new future possibilities for yourself. The ideas come to you rapid-fire and the cautions also to beware of moving too fast; again you must successfully mediate between opposite pulls upon you while acknowledging each as valid.
