A Practical Start Builds Toward Real Expansion
Resources get an early workout as Mars sits in Virgo and your second house at the start of the year, pushing you to earn actively rather than wait for money to arrive. That drive pauses when Mars turns retrograde on January 10 and drifts back into Leo by February 21 — a good time to review spending habits tied to your own image rather than open your wallet further. Mars turns direct again on April 1, and once it returns to Virgo on May 14, practical earning energy comes back online. The year's real financial turning point is July 26, when Jupiter crosses into Virgo and settles into your second house for a long stay, expanding income potential in ways that build steadily rather than overnight. Treat any raise, bonus, or new revenue stream that shows up after that date as something to reinforce, not spend all at once. Saturn's retrograde in Aries from August 9 through December 25, in your ninth house of long-term plans, is a useful check against overcommitting to a big purchase before you've thought it through. Set aside a fixed amount the moment Jupiter enters Virgo, and let compounding do quiet work for the rest of the year.
