As mentioned before, the year 2017 possibly brings mixed results for the Aries born individuals. The year may begin with you dealing with the aftermath of a troublesome event or dealing with memories of one. The tough one could be where you have had to close down a business or a particular division of it; or if you have been facing a period of unemployment. Saturn’s transit into the sign of Sagittarius spells relief and you may see yourself getting extricated out of a tricky situation professionally.

There could be a new opportunity, though not as good as you’d like, but something that manages to keep you afloat! There could be help from someone, or a buyout if you have been challenged by a debt situation. In any way, there is a surge of relief in the period post January. There may however, still be someone working behind the scenes to create unfavorable circumstances or pull business away from you. Be discreet about important information and plans. Also, cross-check any information that is given to you – do not trust blindly having kneejerk reactions. Work offer may come from a foreign land and you could be reticent about moving away from your comfort zone. Difficult choices need to be made as you must restore balance

Things may take a turn for better after the month of August. Jupiter’s transit brings fortunate connections as well as opportunities. Like minded people may approach you for collaborative work. However, as mentioned earlier, the pull of homeland may be quite strong and you could decide after weighing situations quite emotionally. There is a big and pressing desire to create a property or buy a home. If resources don’t permit, you may redecorate or make your current dwelling space more plush or comfortable. A new vehicle or automobile may be purchased in the second half of the year.

A word of caution though, while you could receive a promotion or a status elevation in the second half of 2017, do avoid being complacent / smug about it. Nothing will be more dangerous than “been there, done that” attitude. Rather a consistent approach of re-learning and upgrading skills and knowledge will be a better bet. Work-related travel may increase from the second half of 2017 and not all those journeys would be comfortable. You will need to be wary of keeping your belongings safely and keeping your opinions to yourself in a foreign land. Know how can help you through the challenges.

Now here lies the key, of what you can make year 2017 out to be for you – chances are that you could be reeling from the after effects of a heartbreak or a relationship that met its end suddenly. Although, with much of the agony past already, dealing with pain, anger, anxiety and unanswered questions may pose a challenge to your well-being. Rahu-Ketu transit during the month of August may make you more emotionally demanding - love and affection, bonding and warmth becoming quite important as goals to you.

Matters of heart acquire primary significance. Things improve as the year progresses. Jupiter’s transit to your 7th house brings possibility of a new relationship and possibly a marriage for those eligible and willing. The second half of the year though could bring adjustment challenges among family members! Parents may have issues between them or mistrust could mar the relationship. You may want to help and establish peace but it may be an uphill task. Birth, adoption, addition to family is indicated in second of the year.
