Happy Birthday Aquarius! Life as you know it is about to change as your star rises in 2016. Uranus, your ruler, is occupying your third house, nurturing your need for constant learning, stimulating conversations and exploration –usually in the way of short trips off your normal path or routine. But Uranus can also release hidden tensions all at once, as it’s the astrological culprit when there are sudden upheavals. Remember this as the year goes on.

Most of your creative work will be mental and you’ll never lack brilliant ideas; they’re going to be popping in and out throughout 2016 like the birth of new stars. This high-energy, mental activity will assist you in reaching a higher potential in the work place.

Another beautiful thing is how you recognize the potential of others around you and build others up. You are in the perfect position this year to inspire younger people, to inspire coworkers, and to impress higher-ups.

Your social life will improve this year along with your love life. It’ll keep you busy and happy. You’ll be surrounding yourself with beautiful and charming people, and you will take your rightful place among them. But be prepared to deal with family issues, relatives and the people you love, as you’ll be taking more responsibility for them in one form or other.

The year may start a bit slowly when it comes to love. Love may be a more playful endeavor this year than ever before. You may feel more glamorous and ignite new passions with a partner or with someone new. If you’re thinking of starting a sizzling affair, this is your year. A true soul mate may not be yours this year but you may meet a twin flame who will bring you to a higher level of self. Aquarians in a relationship can expect a more solid commitment from their lovers or partners.

Around mid-year (July), Jupiter will enter your 7th house of love and romance and will stay there for the rest of the year. That is when the fun really begins. Jupiter will not only be in your 7th house but it will also be making very outstanding aspects to your Uranus ruler. So love is in the air. Marriages or relationships that are ‘like’ marriage are happening. If you are already married, your relationship becomes more romantic. Jupiter is your planet of friends.

Life is what you make it and you can make it as hot and cold as you want. Look for someone in the usual places if you must. Just know that right now you are at your best. It’s been a busy few months so having some fun will expel all that pent up energy you have been holding on to. You may find yourself going through some old emails and remembering old loves. Don’t look back, look forward.Want a more personalized birthday reading? Chat with an Astrology Expert NOW and get 25% OFF your session!

Your professional life will be improving as well as your home life and relationships. They will be in much better shape this year than last year. Sure, you’ll have your ups and downs, but don’t worry, it’s always a temporary situation as you build collaborations and associations with people in your field.

Your wisdom in moderation will help you pay off old debts, which have been weighing you down for a while. You are more aware of expenses than ever before and so you’ve come up with some creative strategies to save a bit of money. You’ll find yourself creating new ideas that streamline your job, initiating a more stable schedule for yourself. Your new way of dealing with money will bring admiration to you from loved ones.

If you’re feeling a bit off or even angry, the best course of action is to exercise. Nothing works better to relieve stress even if it means doing a power walk to your favorite music. Find a way to calm down and focus. Want a more personalized birthday reading? Chat with an Astrology Expert NOW and get 25% OFF your session!

With Saturn, the traditional ruler of Aquarius, in your 11th house, in 2016 it’s important to fit into a group with which you have common long-term goals and interests. It could be a professional association or a hobby-based one, a club, band, political party, foundation and so on.

In August and into early September, Jupiter in Virgo may bring you people who ask for random but not-so-small favors. Look at the people and situations realistically, and do what makes sense. Acts of generosity now can bring you future benefits, just be careful of how you give.

Things won’t be easy. They never are. Life is not a bowl of cherries; we do find ourselves in the pits from time to time. But overall, you can pretty much count on this year being a big improvement from the last. You may look forward to new trips, a better job or a promotion, and a more harmonious overall home life. And a time to change and meet new people. Your gifts and talents, particularly your gift for leadership will be challenged this year.
