Neptune's influence on you this birthday year is truly adding mystery to your life. Expect that your friends and romantic interests are surprising you with all sorts of interesting secrets. It will be up to you to be the trustworthy "vault" in order to prevent everyone's private affairs from becoming breaking news within your social circle. Friends will be expecting you to be their rock. Even your partner may be dealing with some stability issues, and it will be up to you to keep the relationship grounded. You may wish you were kept oblivious to something that you learn about your love interest. It is a year for skeletons to come out of the closet, so make sure that your own closet is swept clean of any dirt.

For singles, you are on a more solitary journey right now. You are not needing a relationship to cling to in order to be happy. Searching for an exclusive relationship is not on the agenda. Instead, your social life is incredibly important. You are finding yourself maintaining friendships from all walks of life. When friends are depressed, you are good at staying positive and lightening the mood. People are just naturally drawn to you, so enjoy the extra attention. In addition, it is also a year of self-discovery and self-focus. Higher education, health, fitness, and new hobbies are taking up a majority of your free time. Your love life may get confusing later on in 2017, when you find that you are becoming sexually attracted to someone who is better off staying just a friend. This phase will probably fizzle out quickly, so bear with your erratic hormones in late-2017. Everything is back to normal with your friend zone in 2018.

For couples, you may be getting bored of one another over time. This is incredibly dangerous if you want the relationship to last. When you are bored, you will seek out excitement elsewhere. You are tired of being stuck in a rut this year. With all of the extra attention you will be getting from new and old friends, you may develop a crush on someone who is filling a void in your love life. The person you develop a crush on is not your typical type, so you may be surprising yourself this year by feelings that come from nowhere. Respect relationship boundaries if you value your partner. Physical intimacy needs are where the relationship is hurting the most. This can be fixed, and the relationship is salvageable. Do not be afraid to seek out couple's counseling. The good news is that relationship issues are temporary. Ride this year out, and with a little extra care and attention, your relationship may become stronger than ever by your next birthday.

You may be a little down-in-the-dumps about your financial situation around the time of your birthday. It is not a thrilling way to start out the birthday year, but it does get better. If you have any outstanding debts or loans, do your best to pay them off this year. As friends are especially central to your life now, try not to loan or borrow any money this year as it will only lead to problems. You may have to say no, but your friends love you and will understand in the end.

Fortunately, money will be coming in, slowly but surely, due to your work ethic. Your career life is becoming more positive over time due to your past choices. You can safely whistle while you work without fear of any doom coming down on you in terms of a firing or layoff. Your career path is looking secure, and you can pat yourself on the back for creating the positive work environment in which you are living right now. This is a year of reaping what you have sown in years past. Even though things are going smoothly, you still have potential that can be further explored. You may take night courses to slowly work on an another degree, or put in extra hours on a side project at work to add to your credentials. The stars are lining up to make you more ambitious, and less content to sit on the sidelines.

Jupiter's influence on your 6th house (responsibilities) is giving you the courage to not deal with needless crap from co-workers. You are independent, and are not feeling like being stuck with anyone else's "dirty work." As long as you are tactful, but firm, you will gain respect from others. Superiors may even be taking notes from your diplomatic way of handling any work-related drama. Overall, your money and career path are upward bound. Slow and steady wins the race, so take time to unwind along the way. Finally, it is a year to save, not to spend. You are notably thrifty, but just keep your long-term financial goals in mind when you feel an impulsive spending itch.
