Vacation
Tips Suggestions on how and where to enjoy your
precious time off.
Aries (March 21 - April 19) Your Road to Wealth
Aries loves to take risks, and nothing
pleases you more than betting on yourself. Finding someone
to invest in your business is always your luckiest financial
endeavor. Whether you start a new company or buy a
franchise, being captain of your own ship and having freedom
of movement are your main motivations. Saving is
hard for you during the start-up phase, because you have many
new ideas for things to do. Set up a tax-deferred retirement
plan, such as a Keogh, SEP or an IRA. Later, don't be tempted
to dip in! Aries often has bursts of energy, so try to keep
your output consistent and don't be tempted to continually
abandon projects in search of better ones. Persistence will
pay off. In terms of your spending style, you won't generally
purchase frivolous things unless it's on impulse. Those few
instances could be expensive, however! That little red convertible
could be sexy and irresistible, but do you need it?
No matter what financial hardships you endure,
you remain dedicated -- even driven -- in the ultimate quest
to be your own boss. Your sign is not particularly materialistic,
and because you tend to be so focused on your goals, you are
willing to make sacrifices to achieve them. Since
most entrepreneurs go through several failed ventures before
they hit success, try to protect your downside. Don't
get so carried away with your plan that you jeopardize a loved
one's welfare in your quest. In other words, factor in some
staying power. Aries can be too willing to trade away security
in the pursuit of a goal, but your family may not be as wedded
to your plan as you are. Your mate won't appreciate having
the phone shut off or getting threatening notes from your
landlord slipped under the door when you haven't paid the
rent. You may be inches from that huge venture capital deal,
but until the money actually arrives, don't lose your shirt!
After the check does clear, don't let your exuberance make
you spend it all in one place. Your competitive nature gives
you energy and an enormous will to succeed. When you do hit
things just right, the results can be stupendous -- you may
become a millionaire!
Hint: Aries is an optimistic
sign, which can mean that you might be tempted to go without
various forms of insurance. That is one dare you don't want
to take! Start by looking into a good health care plan if
you don't already have one, and review other kinds of insurance,
too.
Your Financial Outlook for the
Year 2000 and Beyond
In the first half of the year 2000, you have
both Saturn and Jupiter
in your sector of earned income. This aspect can have a bit
of a manic influence on your life. Jupiter, the planet
of fortune and happiness, will bring you some of the best
financial aspects you have seen in the past 12 years, and
see to it that you have strong earning power. But
Saturn, the taskmaster planet, will make you a little worried
that you will run out of cash. Saturn's influence can inspire
you to spend more carefully, although it is doubtful that
you will come up short.
You will have not one, but seven planets in
your 2nd sector of earned
income in May 2000, all in the sign of practical, realistic
Taurus. If you ever needed a sense of purpose, direction and
all-encompassing dedication to making money, you will have
it! You may be uncharacteristically obsessed with saving,
investing, and possibly even spending money. You can use this
planetary energy to set up the kind of financial security
you only used to dream about! A key date is May 28, 2000,
when Saturn and Jupiter are in conjunction. Watch the days
and weeks surrounding this day, for this is when you may commit
to a successful long-term monetary plan. Stability
and longevity will become quite attractive to you, and you
will muster the ability to build a solid financial strategy
that will stand the test of time.
Nothing is ever easy, and May, 2000 is no exception.
You will have to know what you're doing. Uranus
(planet of the unexpected) and Neptune
(planet of confusion and dreams) will challenge seven planets
in Taurus. Applying structure and self-discipline
to your plans will be the critical requirements of success.
Prepare now by taking a course in money management, subscribing
to financial periodicals, or bookmark and read good web sites
like http://money.go.com. You may also choose to hire a good
financial consultant. The best way to find someone good is
through a friend's recommendation.
With seven planets moving into the earth
sign of Taurus, your favorite financial strategy may not be
investment in stocks or bonds but the acquisition or sale
of real estate. Buying land, a house, or other real
estate will be your most favorable way to amass wealth.
You may also choose to invest in gold or gems. Taurus rules
jewelry, cosmetics, fragrance, art, wines and gourmet food,
insurance, and brokerage houses -- all are good industries
to investigate in 2000.
Finally, Pluto,
the planet of rebirth and transformation, is circling your
9th sector in Sagittarius.
This aspect makes the following areas superb for your financial
growth: foreign investments, international commerce, the justice
system, and the publishing industry. These areas will be favored
until nearly the end of the year 2008! This same 9th sector
also rules education. Should you decide to go back
to school to get a degree or better credentials, this will
turn out to be one of the single greatest decisions you can
make to transform your life for the better. Having
Pluto in a friendly angle to your Sun,
in fellow fire sign Sagittarius
is very powerful help. Don't underestimate the gains you can
make! Aries, you have great financial aspects -- better than
you've ever seen before!
