ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m an Aries woman born on April 8, 1941. I’ve had a streak of bad luck for a while. Will I ever marry again? What about my finances?"
There will be a dramatic change in circumstances (which often happens for Aries of your age) brought about by a job or a career change. Your unique talents are your keys to success and versatility. Your ability to stay abreast of current events and your youthful attitude will bridge a generation gap. Lucky opportunities most often will come from strangers or acquaintances who are "knocked out" by your vibrant personality. The easiest way for you (and many Aries) to make money this year is by working a part-time job or turning a hobby into a small business venture. In love, you’re better off with a tame Libra or Taurus. Even though they are not as alluring as some of the other signs initially, you’ll discover in a few months that they meet your expectations. Look at the next three months as a time to set yourself up for the long haul, instead of making decisions that can only make you feel better for the moment. The bluebird of happiness will come to you with patience.
