Overview

2013 amps up the themes of finance, sexuality, debt and change as Saturn prepares to overhaul this house of your horoscope until 2015. The good news is that you shall no longer feel all of the stress and strain (or dry spell) around relationships as you have since late 2009. The door is wide open to meet someone new or totally transform an existing relationship.

The key words are depth, passion and intensity. Are you ready to get more intimate with your self and others than ever? If you've ever considered some kind of depth process like psychoanalysis, this is the year to plummet your own unfathomable depths, Aries. You have probably only scratched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unleashing your true powers, resourcefulness and regenerative powers. Have you secretly wondered what you are truly made of at your core of cores? Get ready to find out. This is also an excellent time to pay off any debt: both emotionally and financially.

Uranus continues to energize your stars and promote the rebellious side of your nature. You refuse to dance to anyone's beat but your very own. Last year's challenging cardinal climax brought considerable tension to your life – especially around career, and some of the fall-out from any of that wreckage is still being integrated and renovated into the new and improved version of home and career possibility. The brave and risky moves you took in 2012 can take deeper root this year as you pour your passion and perserverance into making your dreams a powerhouse of a reality.

By mid-year, you'll have the power of Jupiter working to expand your life from the ground up. You may be looking for a bigger home or just ready to take your life to a new level. No more playing small and safe. Get ready to experience your true potential for fame and fortune, Aries. There is a reason the Sun shines most brightly in your stars.

The eclipse patterns for 2013 will greatly impact the financial houses of your horoscope. You are learning powerful lessons in the money department as you develop greater resourcefulness and business savvy. You will never again question your true value nor will you accept anything less than what you know you are worth. This is a time to up the ante and rake in the level of compensation you deserve. You are also more willing and able to get grounded in the reality of your bank balance and strategically devise better ways to remove debt and improve your sense of security for long-term stability.

Romantic

You'll be thrilled to know that any dry spell in the love arena is officially over, Aries. Saturn has officially left the building and won't be back to put you through trial and tribulation in your relationship zone for another three decades! All of the painful and difficult lessons you've learned about love since 2009 can now be put to good use as you prepare for deeper levels of intimacy than you have ever imagined.

You've learned about the importance of boundaries and saying no to codependent patterns, and now you are about to learn the power of deep commitment, self-reliance and sexual monogamy.

Now that Saturn has come to teach you powerful lessons about your sexuality and regenerative powers as a woman and a partner, get ready to relinquish everything you think you knew about yourself. Secrets about your own inner workings will be uncovered whether you are actually in psychoanalysis (recommended) or not. 2013 could be one of the most intense years for confronting your fears around deep intimacy and loss, especially in love. Any part of you that is secretly jealous, terrified of losing emotional control or clings to security for dear life is about to be challenged and reformed for the stronger. This is the essence of self-empowerment.

Sexuality becomes a powerful theme in 2013 as you work to uncover and release any residual shame that holds you back from experiencing the depth and passion of your life force. Saturn in Scorpio in your house of sexuality and transformation proves to be a most healing force in bringing any darkness to the light so that you can fully embrace your true powers as a fiery and sexual being without any hangups, unconscious promiscuity or other self-destructive behaviors that actually deplete your vital energy and self-esteem.

Career

Pluto continues to bring power and passion to your career zone – but with the added support of Saturn this year. Saturn and Pluto are in what is called 'mutual reception' (i.e. they swapped signs) which means they reinforce the power of the other. Not only will you bring the integrity and diehard commitment of Pluto in Capricorn to all professional ambition, but now you have the added bonus of Saturn bringing the discipline and ability to push through every obstacle. When the going gets tough, the Ram gets going. Never have you been so determined to make an everlasting and profound mark in the world.

You will have the force of this year's eclipse points working your money zones to speed up change and release any stagnation and debt. With the combined power of both Saturn and the North Node in your sector of debt and resourcefulness, you are ready to work smarter instead of harder. Let your money work for you for a change instead of the other way around. You'll have Jupiter blessing your sector of wheeling and dealing making it easy to establish connection with just the right people to further your career goals.

The right people will show up at the right time to open doors you never thought possible. Don't be afraid to reach out to your contacts and let everyone know what you have to offer. And be confident in asking for any support you might need to further your cause. Although you are the epitome of independence, we all get by with a little help from our friends – even you, darling Ram.
