Covid 19 Update:
No astrologer or astrological tool, including this AI-based engine, had foreseen the unprecedented pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus.
 
However, many experts were expecting large scale natural disasters to rock humanity. This is because the two most dreaded planets, Saturn and Pluto meet (conjuncts) at 22°46' Capricorn.
 
This is a rare cosmic influence, that impacts entire mankind, and should be over by February 2021. Astrologically, good fortunes shall prevail from 20th December 2020, when Jupiter meets Saturn - known as the "Great Conjunction".
 
Until then, be safe, and keep your loved ones safe.
 
How adverse is this influence for you?

  • Welcome to year 2023, dear Aries! This new year finds you tending your social standing, reputation, and professional tasks. But it is not that easy right now - with Mercury and Mars in Retrograde (backward-moving) motion. You are facing communication and technology breakdowns - in a nervous and touchy state of mind, you are especially enjoying your career or social position, and you are taking time to think before acting or lacking initiative. Fated events and repeating themes may reinforce, forcing you to re-think!
     
    Overall, you already have a challenging time with your social life and goals. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your finances and self-worth. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding yourself, your personality, body image, attitude, and outlook.
     
    Also, Mr. TIOS mentions that these decan-wise horoscopes are general observations, and far from accurate. The dates and events may vary from individual to individual - as a glance at the observations for different decans would reveal. For more appropriate observations, he needs your date of birth.

  • 8th March:
    Strict Saturn, that is purposeful and grounding in Pisces, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life. Contemplation of the meaning of our existence, our accomplishments, and our “failures” is the main focus when Saturn transits this sector. This transit marks the end of a cycle, which can most certainly bring with it a fair measure of confusion and discontent, especially at the beginning of the period. Saturn turns a critical eye to all that lies beneath the surface, and we are forced to do some serious “spring cleaning” of our psyches. During this transit, we face our own demons—the vague yet haunting fears that undermine us. We all have skeletons in our closet. What we don’t always realize is that they can seriously undermine our happiness and well-being. Saturn sweeps through our “closet” (the twelfth house) and demands that we take a hard look at what’s been hiding in there. Is this process uncomfortable? For most of us, it can be. But getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development—it’s ultimately a huge relief. The twelfth house in some ways is a dumping ground for things we have left “undone”. Saturn here wants us to sort through the junk and keep only those things that we truly need for future development. This process can be rather lengthy and it can feel very slow, but if done properly, it can be most rewarding. We deal with endings rather than new beginnings during this transit, as we shed outdated attachments and unconsciously prepare ourselves for Saturn’s transit of the first house, when we will work diligently on our individuality and personal identity. We are markedly introspective at this time in our lives. We may isolate ourselves from others in some manner–a process that tends to come naturally. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may come to the fore. We may be attracted to alternate ways of living, and to self-study fields, such as psychoanalysis.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • 24th March:
    Transformational Pluto, that is global and progressive in Aquarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments. Attitudes towards friends and group involvements transform during this extremely long-term transit. You can be taking your friendships and group connections more seriously now, and there can be some intense, possibly even manipulative energy at times, involved in your social life. Some may be dealing with betrayals that ultimately show you who your true friends are – and aren’t! This is also a time when your long-term dreams and hopes shift dramatically. While you may have been content with certain dreams before this transit, now you either want more or want something else entirely. Your social life may go through rather drastic changes.
     This influence stays with you till 11th June.

     
     
  • 20th April:
    Solar Eclipse in - arrives on your self-presentation and views! A solar eclipse occurs in the daytime at new moon. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision - making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective is often revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it is better to take in right now - to observe and get in touch with your feelings.
     Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your appearance and mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to how you assert your needs and express yourself to others. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your own needs. It is a very powerful time for you - - a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

     
     
  • 22nd April:
    Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in earth sign Taurus, afflicting your finances and self-worth. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
     This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on major decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. This is an excellent period for review, however.
     When this retrograde cycle ends - Kinks, twists, and delays in financial matters are on their way out and a return to smoother sailing is in the works. Although delays may have been annoying, the resolutions they have brought will benefit you immediately and in the long run. Picking up loose ends and tightening your operation has lasting benefits, not only on your resources, but also on your opportunities to disseminate your ideas and expand your contacts and horizons. Any headway you may have lost is momentary and will be made up for by a smoother operation, a steadier course, and fewer distractions over the next several weeks. Tie up loose ends and be ready to move on to expanded horizons and a surer sense of your underpinnings.
     This influence stays with you till 15th May.

     
     
  • 2nd May:
    Transformational Pluto turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in air sign Aquarius, afflicting your social life and goals. Fated events and repeating themes will reinforce on your controlling habits, compulsions, addictions or prejudices that must be eliminated - especially in matters of your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments. This is a time of reflection about power and control in your life. If people have controlled or are manipulating you - then now is the time to let them go. If you have been too controlling of others or situations - then it is time to let go. This is not a time for power tripping but a time for elimination.
     Backward-moving Pluto joins along with Mercury - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till 11th October.

     
     
  • 5th May:
    Lunar Eclipse in - arrives on your self-presentation and views! A lunar eclipse occurs at night at full moon. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision - making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective is often revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it is better to take in right now - to observe and get in touch with your feelings.
     Surprises surrounding your personal plans and your personal presence may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal appearance, initiative, and "me first" energy is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a sudden assertion of independence (even a temper tantrum), a situation that tests your leadership skills, a culmination or fruition of an important partnership, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.

     
     
  • 17th May:
    Optimistic Jupiter, that is tenacious and pleasure-seeking in Taurus, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. During this Jupiter transit, you are likely to see benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart should bring a profitable and productive year. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and you may choose to develop your talents in order to boost your earning power. Your income is likely to increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation. However, you may also be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, plumping up your nest or your store of personal possessions. Monetary problems from the past may clear up during this period. You can add to your possessions, and a major purchase or sale is very possible. A significant gift or bonus may come your way. Benefits now are tangible, physical ones. There is a sense of abundance, and feeling worthy is integral in attracting good fortune. In fact, self-worth is really what the second house is about. Expectations of receiving one’s fair share come now, and this tends to attract abundance and favors. This is a good time to go for a raise, apply for a loan, or take part in various dealings with financial institutions. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend–feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future! Particularly if Jupiter trines planets in the sixth and/or tenth houses, this is also a very favorable period for success in the work you do.
     Please remember that Jupiter alone does not give results, your karma does! Jupiter merely gives you the wings to fly - even if, in your imaginations.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
    Again - A wanting to succeed, and succeed big-time - is in the air, when the sky observes optimistic Jupiter in Taurus clashing with transformational Pluto in Aquarius - primarily influencing your finances and self-worth. It could be a pet project or in your career that you feel this intense drive to reach the top. Success, power, and influence are all possible but without some care, there will be a price to pay. Ruthless determination, greed, and corruption may get you there quicker or make you more money but at what cost? Your personal life is the most likely area to suffer, especially your closest relationships.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 25th May.

     
     
  • 12th June:
    Retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your career, reputation, ambitions, and social standing. Destroying things which have control over you will increase your spiritual power and lead to personal mastery. Fated events and repeating themes in your occupation and public image, will reinforce on your controlling habits, compulsions, addictions or prejudices that must be eliminated for your spiritual evolution. This is a time of reflection about power and control in your life, and this is not a time for power tripping but a time for elimination. If people have controlled or are manipulating you - then now is the time to let them go. If you have been too controlling of others or situations - then it is time to let go. If you have been too smothering and controlling in a relationship, holding on too tight, then you may be forced to let go. If obsessive or compulsive behavior involving food or drugs has taken hold of your life, then events may force a turn around. Perhaps suspicion, secrecy, racism, gambling or porn are taking control and holding you back. The more intense your destructive behavior, the more extreme the detoxification or withdrawal stage will be.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • 18th June:
    Strict Saturn turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in water sign Pisces, afflicting your private world and psyche. Expect additional tests and challenges in the sector that Saturn transits - as if a double-dose of contraction is enforced regarding your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life. You will need to deal with particular issues involving your duties and responsibilities in these areas, and face limitation, restriction, anxiety and fear - in order to overcome them. This period offer a chance to recognize and admit the problems and issues that needs sorting. Things may get so out of control that an intervention or some drastic event must occur to shake you out of your depression or isolation. In the end, you should have come to terms with the relevant issues, and hopefully find ways to strengthen the foundations. Focus and motivation leads to productiveness, achievement and recognition.
     Backward-moving Saturn joins along with Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till 4th November.

     
     
  • 19th June:
    Cautious expansions - are in the air, when the sky observes optimistic Jupiter in Taurus connecting with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your finances and self-worth. Some opportunities for growth are likely to be on offer and you can rely on sound judgement skills to only chose those opportunities that are right for you. These opportunities may be in your career, through investment or business deals, or in your personal life as major material possessions or relationship choices. You will come out of this experience wiser, richer, or happier.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 29th June.

     
     
  • 1st July:
    Dreamy Neptune turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in water sign Pisces, afflicting your private world and psyche. It is time to face some harsh realities concerning your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life - as some illusions, dreams and false realities are stripped off. The further from the truth you have travelled, or the more extreme your methods of escape, the bigger the shock. A new relationship or a critical event can trigger an old memory of pain - from which you sought to escape. You may then feel humiliated, exposed, betrayed, scared, anxious or guilty. You may spend more time worrying about yourself and your problems. Self-pity, social anxiety or depression could lead to withdrawal and loneliness.
     Backward-moving Neptune joins along with Saturn, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till 6th December.

     
     
  • 24th July:
    Sweet Venus turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fellow fire sign Leo, afflicting your creative world and romance. Your love life enters a fated period, a period of introspection and reassessment of who or what really brings you pleasure - especially about your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. Giving and receiving love, affection, pleasure, and satisfaction becomes more difficult. Same goes for financial dealings or comforts of life - it is not an ideal time for investing or buying luxury items. You might have second thoughts, or simply lose interest, later. This is a good time to evaluate what your heart and mind desires - to improve how you feel about yourself, and to love yourself more. Old friends or lovers may reappear or you may relive past life experiences in order to sort out karmic issues. Even reminiscing about old partners will help to remove your karmic baggage and lighten the load. Destiny encounters are possible and you may actually come into contact with your soulmate - if so, you should experience a feeling of inevitability or familiarity - but it is better to wait until this cycle ends to make your move. You will likely become interested in someone or something of value that would bring you pleasure. During this period, you may find the reasons for problems in earlier or current relationships.
     This Venus Retrograde cycle, starts with affecting your romance, pleasure, speculation, and children. Because the cycle directly affects your sector of romance and speculation, you should be especially wary of jumping into arguments with a lover and taking risks with gambling. You may feel you are on shaky ground in the romance department. You don't need to share all your feelings with a lover right now, and you shouldn't jump to conclusions if your lover needs a little space either. It can be hard to derive satisfaction from your romantic and creative activities for the time being. An old lover may resurface in your life, complicating matters.
     When this retrograde cycle ends - Stirred and circling creative urges start to take more concrete shape now, and it’s time to select those projects that have real sex appeal and drop the humdrum. Conflicting desires begin to show signs of harmony, and spontaneity becomes its own reward. The essence of choosing is the sureness of your choice, and confidence in your decisions will now begin to pick up the pace. This actually impacts on your wellness, and the better you feel, the better you are — and the more you will accomplish as a result. Take a deep breath of desire, and you’ll find it satisfies.
     Backward-moving Venus joins along with Saturn, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     This influence stays with you till 4th September.

     
     
  • 24th August:
    Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in earth sign Virgo, afflicting your routines and self-care. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your work, health, services, daily routines, and habits. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
     This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It's a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
     When this retrograde cycle ends - Hectic reduplication, delays, and scheduling confusions will be straightening themselves out after a few weeks of necessary resorting. All that remains is to put the finishing touches on new approaches and link them all up with others who may be involved. Missed or mixed up messages are resented or clarified so everybody is back on the same page and agrees upon what the next step is going to be. A general sense of well-being supplants a certain unease born of uncertainty and you get back to your healthy glow born of knowing where you’ve been and focus on where you’re going.
     Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     This influence stays with you till 15th September.

     
     
  • 30th August:
    Chaotic Uranus turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in earth sign Taurus, afflicting your finances and self-worth. You get a break from the rebellious energy that was directing you to bring about drastic changes, or with events enforcing such changes, in areas of your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. This is a period to align your inner change in response to external changes in your life. It can also be a time to induce the changes in attitude or behaviours which are necessary to make the desired outward change possible - especially if you may have anticipated a major change in your life, or tried to initiate change, but nothing has happened. Previously, you were attempting to force radical changes in your finances and self-worth. Now, is the time to analyze whether your revolution was based on ignorance or the innocence of youth - and make necessary ammendments with insights about the error of your ways.
     Backward-moving Uranus joins along with Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • 5th September:
    Optimistic Jupiter turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in earth sign Taurus, afflicting your finances and self-worth. During this influence, you are drawn to reflect on issues related to your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. These issues find such importance, that extra time is needed to take stock and make sure everything is in order before you continue with your life. You might adjust your expectations re-align them realistically.
     Backward-moving Jupiter joins along with Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.

     This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and concerning professional matters in general, can be tricky during this cycle. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making definite career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, which is a good idea, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
     Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     This retrograde cycle especially effects you more adversely than any other zodiac sign or native. Take precaution!
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • Best wishes for 2023, as always! The overall yearly trends, along with relevant major transits and their influences are detailed below for further reference.

 
OVERALL YEARLY TRENDS
 

 
Expansion, Growth, Good Luck for 2023
Jupiter represents our optimism, hope and the sense of justice. It is the basis of how we go about trusting others and improving our lives, and how we express our generosity and tolerance. Jupiter's transit expands the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your awareness along with it. It stays in each sign for almost a year, as it covers the entire zodiac in 11,9 years.
  • Jupiter, the planet of plenty, continues to favour the sector of your solar chart that rules individual personality and projected self - until 16th May. During this influence, you will seek to enhance and develop your personality, body image, attitude, outlook, finance, and independence, with a panoramic vision of life that opens your eyes to whole new possibilities. This is an extremely rewarding period, and/or an extra-ordinary time to seek a new beginning or fresh start.
    + Show Details
    Till 16th May, Jupiter transits your House I: Individual personality and projected self.
     
    An extremely fortunate period, this is an exceptionally extraordinary cycle that comes once in every 12 years or so, and brings significant improvements to your immediate environment and self-confidence. You feel considerably freer to be yourself right now, and you are proud of who you are.
     
    The transit finds you greeting life with a fresh, "can-do" attitude. Your optimism and generosity are heightened, and your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic. You create a distinct first impression on others, and your likability increases manifold. Others tend to accept you more readily - people thoroughly enjoy being around you, not because of what you do or can do, but because of who you are. You are both appreciated and respected, and others tend to be appreciative of the very qualities that come most naturally to you.
     
    You will be eyeing the future now - what happened in the past, is no longer of much importance to you. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable - and furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. Work or projects that you have been working on in private or behind the scenes may now begin to pay off, and/or good deeds in the past may be handsomely rewarded. This is a time when you can put some of your personal interests on the front burner, as you will seek out a new beginning - a fresh start, of sorts - and your desire to do right will be especially strong. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit!
     
    These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once - and you need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life, and always watch for overdoing things or carelessness.
     
    This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more "me" time - which is, in fact, long overdue after a period of serving, supporting, and helping others (during Jupiter's previous cycles). However, you might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested.
     
    On the downside, too many individuals tend to waste this marvelous time in boasting and day-dreaming - and exposing oneself towards 'superiority complex'. This cycle also brings a risk of overindulgence and other forms of excessive behavior. A carefree attitude is different than a careless one, and the fine line between the two is definitely something to consider during this cycle. This cycle may also bring endings into your life in order for you to grow, although these are generally easy ones. Any situation, including ailing or bed-ridden dependants, that may be burdening you or restricting your growth might be removed. There is less focus on serving and helping others now, perhaps because this is no longer as necessary (for example, a child can go off to college, or even the end of a relationship that took up a lot of your energy and resources, for which you are now enjoying some level of freedom from).
     
    Overall, you have a different perspective on life now, and you are not inclined much to sweat for the small stuffs. Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly.
     
    The most favourable periods for all of the above matters are when Jupiter is in direct motion (forward-moving) during this cycle. And, the most potent period of this influence is the first month of this approximately 13-month cycle, while you may start feeling the surge in your self-confidence from around a fortnight ahead. Notably, the entire cycle has the potential for being (and bring) a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time in your life.
  • From 17th May onwards, Jupiter brings blessings to the sector of your solar chart that rules money, possessions, and values - for the rest of the year. During this influence, you will seek to expand and grow your money, possessions, self-worth, and comforts, with a focus on enjoyment of recent endeavours and making bigger decisions about your material resources. This is a period of extravagance, and/or overindulgence with comfort foods and items, entertainment, and dating.

    17th May onwards, Jupiter transits your House II: Money, possessions, and values.
     
    This cycle brings a profitable and productive period, and causes significant improvements in your earning power, as well as, your value system.
     
    The transit finds you more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living - and this can help you to attract more income, as long as you are realistic. Your income might increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation. Monetary situation improves significantly, and financial problems from the past may clear up during this period, if you use it appropriately - developing budgets and working out ways to better manage your resources.
     
    You will be adding to your possessions, you might receive a large item or gift, or a major purchase or sale can occur now. A significant gift or bonus or job offer may come your way - often abruptly, or out of the blue. A large ticket item that you have wanted for a long time might be purchased. You are likely to make bigger decisions about your material resources during this period - likely happy ones. This is a good time to work with financial institutions, shoot for a raise, or apply for a loan.
     
    You might also decide to develop your talents during this cycle, which in turn boosts your earning power, or have potential to boost your earnings in the future. There can be real effort put forth in developing your talents and skills, and a stronger work ethic. There is a solid, noticeable relationship between effort and income - the more you put in, the more you receive - and less in the way of delayed rewards for your efforts.
     
    These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once - and you need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
     
    On the downside, you could be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, opting to plump up your nest or your store of personal possessions in order to feel more secure. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend - feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future!
     
    Overall, you have a "can-do" attitude now. You bring a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work and career. New business ventures are likely to be successful and ongoing ones shall thrive with extra attention and confidence.
     
    The most favourable periods for all of the above matters are when Jupiter is in direct motion (forward-moving) during this cycle. And, the most potent period of this influence is the first month of this approximately 13-month cycle.
  • However, from 5th September to 31st December, when Jupiter is retrograde (backward-moving), your optimism may falter, and you may lack the confidence to surge ahead - especially in matters of money, possessions, and values.

 
Contraction, Challenges, Lessons for 2023
Saturn represents our conscience, moral conviction, and principles. It is the basis of our boundaries, our responsibilities, and our commitments. Saturn's transit restricts the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your limitations along with it. It stays in each sign for around 2 and half years, as it covers the entire zodiac in 29,5 years.
  • Saturn, the planet of rules and strictures, continues to review the sector of your solar chart that rules friends and acquaintances - until 7th March. During this influence, you will be compelled to streamline your friendships, group and community involvements, personal dreams, ideals and perspectives - facing tests and challenges that strengthen the foundation in these areas. You may be more discriminating when it comes to making new friends or associations, and feel less energetic in networking/socializing.

    Till 7th March, Saturn transits your House XI: Social activities, friends, and acquaintances.
     
    This cycle challenges your friendships, causes, and wishes. These are areas of your life that undergoes contraction, restriction, and necessary "slimming down" in order to test for stable foundations. Results in these areas of your life will not be as forthcoming, or with ease, as they have been in the past.
     
    Your friends or group affiliations are in strong focus during this transit. Depending on your age, you are more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. This is a grounding energy that gets you back in touch with reality - and there can be some feelings of loneliness experienced now, as it can sometimes be difficult to find what you are looking for.
     
    Events or realizations during this period may have inspired you to question where it is that you are going in your life. Your long-term personal goals come under scrutiny. How you fit in with others, your affiliations with people and groups, and your peers all become serious matters in your eyes. You may conclude that your personal "circle" or your networks are superficial or somehow unsatisfying at this point in your life.
     
    Keeping friendships strong and healthy requires effort. There may be power struggles or concerns about betrayal to deal with. Friends or group affiliations may seem more demanding of your time and energy now, or you might feel stress about how much of yourself you put into your social obligations. There can be strain on a friendship due to increased focus on an intimate relationship for some. You may be more discriminating when it comes to making new friends, or circumstances are such that you spend less energy on networking and involvement in your community or in teams and groups. Existing friendships may experience some tests or trials during this cycle, and one or possibly more friendships may end. Ones that are true, however, will strengthen. This can point to the strengthening of ties with a special friend or group.
     
    You might feel some disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, beginning to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about "going through the motions", doing and saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, you might meet someone with whom you establish a serious friendship, or you might become a member of a group or affiliation to which you devote much of your time.
     
    Lending and borrowing to and from friends is generally considered tricky, but can be especially so for you now. This applies not only to money, but also time and energy. Friendships or causes can drain you at times if you are giving too much while ignoring your own needs.
     
    Events will occur that tests your foundations in these areas your life that require a "back to basics" approach in order to build (or rebuild) a strong foundation. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the cosmos is checking if the foundations are strong. During this period, anything built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests, and fall apart - gone from your life for good. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
     
    Weeding out what seems now to be superfluous social associations from your life is very likely at this time as you become more serious about what you want, on a personal level, from your life. You take a hard look at the role you play in others' lives, and you consider exactly what it is that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness, beyond marriage, romance, career, religion, and so forth. At some point through this journey, you should begin to find ways to bring definition and articulation to your innermost wishes and hopes for your personal path. A more solid sense of belonging might be experienced now. You know on whom you can rely, and they know they can rely on you!
     
    You might gain increased responsibilities when it comes to a friend or group affiliation. Some of you could experience a leaner but also more conscientious period for income from a business. Some might take on responsibility for a partner's children. You might decide to contribute to your community in significant, tangible, and practical ways during this transit. There can be nice opportunities to make long-lasting connections. You can have more influence in a group, possibly quite naturally taking the lead. Its a time for making solid plans for your future.
     
    As things start falling apart in the affected areas of your life, it is felt most strongly in the first year of this cycle that lasts approximately 2.5 years.

    This cycle challenges your spirituality, inner world, and privacy. These are areas of your life that undergoes contraction, restriction, and necessary "slimming down" in order to test for stable foundations. Results in these areas of your life will not be as forthcoming, or with ease, as they have been in the past.
     
    Your contemplation of your accomplishments and your "failures" are in strong focus during this transit. Depending on your current age, you may discover vague fears and anxieties that act to undermine your confidence. This is a grounding energy that gets you back in touch with reality - and frees you up to work on resolving them.
     
    All that lies beneath the surface in your life is now coming up for inspection, and you are forced to do some serious "spring cleaning" of your psyche. You are facing your own demons – the vague fears that undermine you.
     
    We all have skeletons in our closet. What we don’t always realize is that they can seriously undermine our happiness and well-being. Saturn sweeps through your "closet", and demands that you take a hard look at what’s been hiding in there. Is this process uncomfortable? For some of us, it can be. But getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development – it is ultimately a huge relief.
     
    In many ways, this cycle is the dumping ground for things we have left "undone". You haveto sort through the junk and keep only those things that you truly need for future development. This process can be rather lengthy and it can feel very slow, but if done properly, it can be most rewarding. You tend to deal with endings rather than new beginnings during this transit, as you shed outdated attachments and unconsciously prepare yourself for the next cycle - your first house.
     
    Events will occur that tests your foundations in these areas your life that require a "back to basics" approach in order to build (or rebuild) a strong foundation. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the cosmos is checking if the foundations are strong. During this period, anything built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests, and fall apart - gone from your life for good. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
     
    Some of you may be introspective at this time, perhaps isolating yourself from worldly activities and acquaintances a little in some manner. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may come to the fore. You may also be attracted to alternate ways of living and to self-help or self-study fields.
     
    This can also be a time when you give of yourself to others, as you are valuing charity more than usual. You could be struggling with issues of self-worth, and this is a fine time to really explore what it is that holds you back from going after what you want and deserve in life. There can be a retiring, somewhat withdrawn or private element to your personality. You may need to watch that people in your life don not feel rejected by your withdrawal. There can also be a feeling of confinement - hospitals and prisons figure during this period.
     
    As things start falling apart in the affected areas of your life, it is felt most strongly in the first year of this cycle that lasts approximately 2.5 years.
  • However, from 18th June to 4th November, when Saturn is retrograde (backward-moving), you may review or seek to rectify something that you had previously done, thought, or decided - especially in matters of personal life, privacy, and spirituality.
