You'll want to work on your pet personal projects with more zeal and self-confidence on the 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th, with the Sun traveling through your solar first house until the 22nd. Venus joins the Sun on the 8th and echoes this theme. Venus also favors any changes you might want to make in your appearance on the 9th, 13th, 18th, 20th, and 24th. Mercury joins the Sun on the 7th, so circle the 9th, 17th, 19th, and 25th as days to make improvements in your health and work routines, as well as to contact siblings and neighbors. The New Moon on the 15th brings a new family financial tie, whereas a Full Moon in your seventh house of partnerships on the 1st raises an emotional issue with a significant other. Until the 7th, Mercury in your twelfth house, with Venus there until the 8th, suggests you do some meditation and listen to your intuition for the answers to any perplexing problems on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th. Be sure to avoid any secretive, questionable romantic entanglements on the 2nd and 7th.

Mars, Uranus, and Neptune transit your domestic fourth house. Mars can make a family member more testy than usual on the 5th, 7th, 16th, and 23rd (especially a mate or partner), days to be more careful around the house to avoid accidents. The cost of buying a neat high-tech item for the house can upset your mate on the 1st. Having friends over is especially exciting on the 1st, 4th, 12th, 17th, and 21st. A family member can be experiencing some health problems that worry you on the 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th. Retrograde Saturn transiting your eighth house can bring some financial snags and delays that are tied to events of last summer, especially on the 2nd, 5th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 18th, and 23rd, days when an older person in your circle might not be doing well. The Full Moon in the same sector on the 30th further fuels some temporary uncertainty concerning these areas.

Pluto (your ruler) in your second house of money is joined by the Sun on the 22nd and Mercury on the 26th, which is a boon for more funds flowing in your direction on the 8th, 12th, 16th, 17th, 21st, and 26th, days to make lucrative investments. Jupiter in your ninth house goes retrograde on the 2nd, so some travel plans and legal maneuvers can go awry temporarily, as well as some ongoing dealings with in-laws. However, making adjustments concerning these matters on the 17th is very helpful.
