Aries: Monthly business

The year starts off with you wanting to achieve more acknowledgment at work, which for you translates into monetary gain from your job. Asking for a raise on january 13, during the cancer full moon, will guarantee that you receive the pay increase. The caveat is that you might be too focused on the amount of money that you are getting and base your existence on it, as you are comparing your salary to that of your friends (a competing sentiment that you will feel on the twenty-ninth, during the new moon in aquarius).   the movement of mars retrograde into the career house in your chart on january 6 suggests that professional visions will be solidified, even bringing a new title your way as well.   by the time uranus turns direct on the thirtieth, you’ll feel glad that you pushed hard to get the raise that you worked hard for. In fact, your friends might be jealous of you now rather than you of them. This will lead to you being the most successful member of your crew and the envy of those you work with. After all, you earned it! Enjoy the fruits of your labor during the back end of the month.
