You can begin 2013 full of positive intentions, and why not? Much of the second half of last year was dominated by some testing work or family politics based tensions, due to a tussle between Uranus and Pluto. That's not going to be repeated until later this year, and with Saturn now in your sector of self expression, romance and children, these are the sectors of life which offer rich possibilities, but also potentially some challenges. Now, if you know your astrology, you'll appreciate that Saturn has quite a reputation for being difficult, but if you work hard at things, there is a lot to go for.

It's possible that there are some tests heading in your direction and not necessarily due to your deeds, as other people's attitudes and actions can impact upon you too. So, how do you fabricate yourself against these? Well, making sure your body is as supple as possible will help. And in fact, the more you can stretch, walk, and swim, the more your body will thrive on just the right amount of exercise. You may even find yourself enjoying some team sports, boosted by a fab Solar Eclipse in May. Jupiter in the early part of the year, also continues to encourage you to be open to the possibilities of developing a more spiritual outlook, or to embracing complementary therapies as a way of boosting your health.

The arrival of Jupiter in your sign in June, can however, kick-off a time of more outgoing and lively energies, and can do wonders for your health too. This will be aided by Saturn going forwards from July. Things really rev up for you from mid October, as Mars gives you every assistance to lively up, followed by an ace Solar Eclipse on the 3rd of November, which combines brilliantly with Mars.
