Pragmatic work and effort to gain emotional and financial security continues to be a major theme. Sudden expenses and equally surprising income sources make finances a tad unpredictable. Priorities are likely to start gradually changing, and budgeting becomes more important. Unlike last year, you now have additional insights, assistance and means toward its realization. As the year launches you are somewhat preoccupied with your inner world, needing more time for quiet reflection.
Making New Year's resolutions is harder when we are addressing our insecurities and fears. It is best to wait until mid-January before making any major decisions. Periodically this year you need to address additional family issues, changes at home and/or its location as well as real estate and investment matters. Ensure that taxes are filed and paid properly and that insurance matters, loans and other financial arrangements are in order. For the single Aquarius Sun the year may bring wedded bliss.
So in short be practical and organized with the matters that spell financial
and emotional security for the future. To broaden your perspective, and gain
additional insights talk to siblings, spouse and friends. See Mercury
Retrograde 2003-04 Article for additional clues. (To view the Mercury
Notes for the Year - click here)
Work and chores, obligations and schedules are the issues that need constructive
effort through mid 2005. It is easier to buckle down now and do the work,
just make sure you don't start burning the midnight oil too much, as that
is extremely draining, and can wreak havoc with your health. Pay attention
to your health, and get a check up if you are not feeling like your normal
self.
Camaraderie is important to you. Should your most intimate of relationships with spouse and children have become aloof then during Spring-Summer those communication lines need to be fine-tuned. Just discussing practical matters is not enough, you need share feelings and desires for the future. You need to feel loved and appreciated, and a two-way street works the best. You are likely to be more acutely aware of what you appreciate in others and determined to get this need met.
