The year begins with a sharp focus on how you communicate your ideas and manage your daily workflow. With your ruling planet, Mars, active in your communication sector early in January, you are persuasive, direct, and ready to seal deals. However, the biggest shift happens in February when the planet of discipline, Saturn, moves into your sector of daily work, routine, and employees. This marks the start of a two-year cycle where "winging it" won't work. You will likely find yourself taking on heavier responsibilities, managing a team, or needing to structure your workday with military precision. It is a time of hard work, but this discipline is exactly what prepares you for the massive success coming later in the year.
Summer brings the most significant professional upgrade you have seen in over a decade. In late June, the lucky planet Jupiter moves to the very top of your chart, which rules your career, reputation, and public standing. This kicks off a "golden year" for your ambitions. If you have been waiting for a big break, a promotion, or industry-wide recognition, this is it. An eclipse in August happens in this same career zone, which often signals a destined new beginning—like a sudden job offer from a dream company or the successful launch of a business that puts your name on the map.
Towards the end of the year, the universe asks you to pause and refine your personal brand while you ride this wave of success. In October, the planet of value goes backward in your own sign. Even though your career is taking off, you might feel the need to retreat slightly to ensure your public image matches who you really are. You might re-do your website, change your professional style, or reconsider how much of yourself you give to your job. By late November, with your ruling planet moving into your networking sector, you will be ready to re-emerge, connecting with powerful allies who can help you secure your new status for the long haul.
