It is time for some awakenings in your love life, thanks to the strong influence of Uranus. You have been filtering and screening your words and actions lately. You have not been being true to yourself, if you evaluate yourself honestly. The real you is dying to come out, and you may burn some bridges inadvertently in the process. Do not hold back, because sometimes for the greater good, a bridge does need burning. You are clearing the cobwebs in your social life. There may be some friendships that you know in your heart are poor influences on your life. This is the time to let go. The void they leave behind will be quickly filled, as new people will enter your social circle who are much more positively-minded.

For singles, this is a good year to search for The One if you are yearning for a serious relationship. You are not holding yourself back and keeping your opinions to yourself. On the bright side, you will not be wasting time with anyone you know is not right for you. There could be a few first dates that are last dates, as your standards are high. You want standards when searching for a life mate, so that is not necessarily a bad thing. There are plenty of potential love interests crossing your path this year, so you do not have to settle for the first person to ask you out. Work on tactfulness because there is no need to rudely hurt feelings when you figure out it's not working early on. Patience, for the odds are on your side that you will be engaging in an exclusive relationship later on this birthday year

For couples, you may be forced to work on a major goal together. You can be competitive with your partner, but this is a time to aim for cooperation. A major goal, like buying a home together, has to be worked on jointly. You may be facing issues with relinquishing any control to your partner. This is a time to aim for balance, not domination. If you find yourself butting heads to the point of endless frustration, it may be time to end the relationship. Rip off the band-aid, because a slow goodbye will only be more painful in the end. If you decide to call it quits, make sure that it is for the right reasons. A life lesson you may still be learning is that you cannot get your own way all of the time. Focus on attaining mutual goals together, if you want your relationship to be lasting.

Keep the cliché saying "trust no one" on the back of your mind at work this birthday year. Start making preparations, for you could be seeing the writing on the wall well ahead of your co-workers. It is not your imagination, for there is secret worry in your boss's eye when he tells you that "everything is fine." Organizational restructure could be around the corner. Use this knowledge to your benefit. Your inner voice may have been telling you to diversify your work ventures for a while now. You are running out of time to make this happen. Fortunately for you, your energy levels are climbing, allowing you to get a lot accomplished this year.

You may be wisely considering a big move, such as going back to school, switching jobs, or starting your own business. If you can, at least consider starting a part-time job so that you are somewhat covered in case the walls come crashing down at your current employer. Preparation is part of the battle in dealing with whatever life throws at you. The curve balls are coming, but with the right preliminary moves, you won't have to sidestep far. You are resilient. No matter what happens this birthday year, you won't be held down for long.

Regarding your finances, this will not be your most lucrative year. Considering you may be on the verge of something serious happening in the workplace (i.e., demotion, layoff, etc.), try to budget your money wisely. This is not the time to buy. This is the time to sell what you don't need in order to save for a rainy day. This is an excellent year for investing. Seek investment advice from a trustworthy expert so that you can watch your savings multiple. While you are a natural impulse spender, you are finding ways to curb your spontaneous buying instincts this year. Who would have thought you could be so thrifty
