Annual life review and goals/aspirations for 2013

How are you all feeling now that 2012 is on its last day? What plans and hopes do you guys have for 2013? How do you feel you faired in 2012 and how have you felt you've grown?

I feel the largest growth spurt has happened spiritually. 2011 was the toughest year I've had in ages. I had to break myself down and rebuild myself from scratch again, in every aspect of my life. I feel 2012 has facilitate me to carry on building on top of the new foundations I laid in 2011.
Aspirations for 2013: I hope to be successful makin a career change. I want to help people and heal people and help them live happy lives. I think I'd also like to give a meaningful relationship a go in 2013. My recent relations with a beautiful Leo have made me realise that there are really awesome aspects about finding the right person to be in a relationship with. Sadly, it was not to be with this Leo, and so it ended, but he has renewed my faith that there are people who are actually trustworthy and worthy of my better side. Hopefully I'll ge given another Leo (can't get enough of them!) who will be a perfect fit for me for where I am in my life right now. It would be nice to share a healthy love with someone.
A Happy 2013 to you all and blessings and prosperity for the new year.

2012 helped me view what it is I want out of life... 2013 is 2012 in manifestation form. 😉

I am going to move to another state, and travel abroad to do volunteer work.

...just the THOUGHT fills my heart with joy.

It sounds amazing! Competely fulfilling on a soul level! It's the journey I'm headed on too. Good Luck! I hope you make 2013 your bitch.

I started a cycle of change in mid 2011 in both my professional and personal life. It's been a fantastic 18 months personal journey of introspection where I have learnt exactly that I like and want. This has been very eye opening at a physical, mental and spiritual level. A lot of people go through their entire lives without getting such an opportunity I am fucking thankful that I got it so early in life. I have sharp focus on what I want both professionally and personally.

@ 2013 - well the bridgehead has been secured, it's time not to attack bravely. Fulfill my needs and ambitions!!!

Feeling positively chuffed! 😄 😄

now* to attack.....lol

1. win lottery

2. get married


Seems reasonable to think I could manage getting two things done.

Lol!
Totally reasonable! I sincerely hope you get both!
I shit you not, on Friday night I hung out with a male Aries who has 12 projects lined up for 2013. Yip.... One for every month. In 2012 he had 52 projects. One for every week. How crazy is that? He even has a 100 year project! I understand our action orientated nature.... So I get that he likes to be busy. But I can hardly plan what I'll be doing tomorrow let alone the entire year. I guess it is healthy to have things to aspire to and get done.

You're totally right. And blessed! So many people go through life living the 'template' life that they dot realise the life they day dream about is within their grasp. All they need to do is stand up and accept happiness with arms wide open. It's like they automatically think they're not worthy and would rather spend the rest of their days in slavitude to some master they abhor and look for other people to provide their happiness for them. So many people are so disillusioned about life. I'm glad you and xxnbnxx know how to grab life by the horns! And me too! I hope to help awaken other people to the endless possibilities they are capable of!

Love this thread. Deffo feeling extremely positive about 2013. 2012 was pretty tough for me, yet also on a positive note taught me a lot about myself. My Taurus boyfriend of 5 years upped and left taking everything. All I got was an email whilst I was at work. I felt totally betrayed but also strangely liberated. I guess way deep down I always knew he wasn't right for me. I ignored my instincts. But life knew better. After the initial shock my presiding thoughts were "ok it's not you then. Your not the one" he ultimately regretted making the decision, and plagued me for months. It was too late. I was done. I have now met a Sagittarius and the deep connection we have is like nothing I've experienced before. We just fit. 2012 has taught me "sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck" trust in life a little bit.

I now feel inspired to listen to my instincts more. That voice in my head that keeps telling me to write a book. I have always quietened it with my doubts. No more. I also need to sort my finances out having been left in a bit of a mess when the taurus left. I will get there 🙂))

This. I have a thousand things I want to accomplish with the start of each day, however, something always catches my eye and the next thing I know it's 7 p.m., I realize that I didn't accomplish what I wanted, have added a new interest and 100 more things for tomorrow, spent way too much pursuing that new interest, and I'm physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. People have no idea what they're getting into when they ask "what are your plans for [thursday]?" or "are you going to be in town for Christmas?" I've learned to simply take the question less literally and more as a friendly exchange.

As to the original post, it's more relevant for me to reflect on 2009-2012. Saturn's transit through Libra completely threw my life into upheaval and 2012 was more of a simmering down of those events. The culmination of my interests over the last 8 years are also starting to settle and my life's purpose, which was a startling revelation a few years ago is certainly reinforced now more than ever. I look forward to 2013 as I also feel it is a take off year for Aries. Things that I could not control over the last few years, however stressful and agonizing as they may have been, have structured my life to accommodate to my personal ambitions. I'm thankful to be alive and thankful for the fresh start of each new day, month, and year.

My goals include:

1. Become a perfect man.
2. Change the world into a more harmonious place through example and inference.
3. Shoot a bear. (See: 1. Become a perfect man.)

Cheers to 2013; wishing you all success and happiness in the new year.

P.S. - I don't actually desire to shoot a bear. Unless it attacks me.

Haha... Yeah @ BR: be careful what you wish for! But I think you've chosen a positive feeling so I think you're off to a good start there. Choose to see your challenges as adventures instead of something negative. The word adventure has an air of 'fun' to it.... But if you look at adventure movies, there are always challenges the characters meet, but at the end of the day, it's all such a rush and the outcome is positive! I think if I had to choose an 'anthem' feeling for 2013, it would be along the lines of love and compassion..... Definitely joy! Hopefully love, But.... I can see how there would be pain in learning compassion, so I'm hesitant about that one. I consider it though because I do feel I'm not sensitive to other people's circumstances. I'm just a tough Aries who wishes everyone would harden the fuck up and stop being so emotional..... Funny then that I would choose an emotion for my anthem 'feeling'. I think I'm going to go with joy, and all kinds of love for all kinds of things/relations!
@limited: I share goal 2 with you. The thought of a harmonious world makes me secretly fall in love with humanity in the future. But right now... They need our guidance to get there.
As for becoming the perfect man: you dont need to do anything! you already are someone's perfect man..... Everyone's idea of perfect is different. What is normal for the spider, is chaos for the spider!
@missy: what you said about not getting what you want being a wonderland stroke of luck is a perfect way to say so many things I've felt that way about. I've normally said "you have to find the gift in the curse" there is something good to be found in most unfortunate experiences. You just have to look at it from a different perspective.
But accepting change and letting go is the most important thing in finding the good. So many people battle with this concept. I'm happy you have seen the positive in the seemingly negative!

@limited: correction: "what is normal for the spider, is chaos for the fly" !!!

Edit button please administrators!

No goals. Just taking it as it goes. Would like to get a new job, but that's all wait and see. Kinda hard to plan when I have to juggle my mom's appts/therapy so I have to aim for night jobs which are insanely few and far between in my field at entry level. Worst case, I've been attempting to just get another restaurant job for the time being to gtfo of my current one. Busier/more popular places = moar monies!

Right now, it's the first day of the year. Catching up from being out so late and eating are my current goals. I'm also starting off the year with a date/hang out/whatever tonight.

I think that's a good start atm.

2012 was an awesome year. 2011 was rough and the last part of 2010 was heartbreaking but, 2012 things just came back together. I grew as a person and I embraced my superpowers instead of denying them. 2013 is gonna be an awesome year!

RNAP- Get married?

Ask the universe to manifest someone with the same goals as you. Listen to your instincts all 2013... I think 2013 will be the year of the ram.

let's trample this shit.

The universe doesn't care about me. I have been trying to get this done for a few years now.

Maybe time to set my sights a bit lower - something I can actually attain.......like getting a will and blowing my brains out.

lotsuslily, like your outlook on love.

I hope this year brings along a path finding a way to happiness, prosperity, and generosity. Do not know what is to say what is going to happen as it is not expected but thought of, to feel this year satisfying, goals and priorities to be reached. Mainly, to find a spot in life where happiness is brought, and it begins with being grateful, no matter how much I have suffered or am suffering, these are obstacles to path in my life to see how strong I am to face these challenges. Feeling free, feeling lovely.

Oh wow I am sorry I did not see this coming, was taking my time posting.

RNAP, if you have to vent, please vent, we will listen and help you throughout. Its called easy, getting out of a negative situation, someone gave you this life to live and its your purpose to find why you are here today. Apologize if I am being harsh, I know you know better, sometimes you have to have someone remind you of things, I do not like to see good people like you feel down over something that bothers you this much. (Read your posts before). Do not let it get to you, pleaseeeeeee. :-)

You aren't being harsh Whisper.

I'm just tired of being a failure. I feel like I am a waste of time and a burden upon the world now that I have no resources for people to use me for.

Sorry to take it out on you guys/girls. I can't share the chinks in my armour with anyone else😉

That's too negative. If you think like that, of course you're going to receive negative in return. - Think positively. I know it isn't always hard - but maybe a "husband" isn't in your plan... for now at least. Why do you want to be married? What is it you think you'll feel out of marriage?

click to expand

Why do you want to be married?
1. sex (no, not just a random one nighter)
2. someone to cuddle (someone ALL the time, not just once after the abovementioned all nighter)
3. someone to nibble on in the middle of the night
4. someone to love who loves me back
5. guinea pig for my experiments in the kitchen
6. A Mr Rnap is definitely in the plan😉



How long does thinking positively take to work? I have only being doing that for 20 years....hmmmm, must be more patient.

🙂thanks for giving me a laugh everyone.

RNAP, I advise listening to what xxnbnxx is telling you about choosing your thoughts carefully and the importance of thinking positively. Thoughts really do become things. Your thoughts are what creates your future reality so you need to be very careful about your voice of words.... Even what you write about on here.... If you're feeling emotion when you're venting on here it's an amplified burst of energy that sends your thoughts out into the universe as what you want because that's what you focus on. It's important to focus on what you want, not what you don't want.
If you don't want it to rain, don't say I don't want it to rain. That's still putting the focus on rain, and rain will come. Rather say/think I want clear, sunny skies! That puts the focus on clear, sunny skies. Likewise, if you want to avoid traffic, don't think bout traffic, think about how much you want the roads to be clear.

And she's right again on you not needing a mr RNAP for all the things you listed. I think you long for love and intimacy too, so say you want to find healthy love and intimacy in a meaningful relationship. And most importantly: believe you deserve it and that you are worthy of it, and that it's on it's way to you already. Believe that and it will come to you without you even trying. It will come to you while you are just doing your thing in the most random way.

Ok now stop it everyone🙂

I know I am worthy and y'all know it too. I am just having a bad day, it's been a bad decade and being positive is obviously not paying off. I needed to get it off my chest and the safest place to do that is here, amongst other Aries who know that it is simply not possible to be "on" the whole time. Even Rams have a crap day here and there.

I'm not getting into the whole marriage thing here - not the really the right thread.
Basically I think if I am good enough to shag I am good enough to marry. To me, marriage is meaningful and I think I am worthy of that. Others may disagree and that's fine. Boring world if everyone was the same.
I've been someone's non-wife and I know that doesn't work for me. I didn't think it would but I 'settled' and I got arsed over.

I'm working hard, being nice to my friends. Good stuff is coming. That is official.


I apologise profusely for derailing the thread. Normal posting may now resume.

2012 has been a very mixed year for me, I gotta' tell ya'. Some really positive things fell into place, and then just sort of set there. Things just didn't jell in the end. I am hoping that in 2013 some of those really positive dynamics I developed in 2012 finally get it together.

I feel you loneliness RNAP. Being alone was part of the feeling of down from 2012. I don't have any real obvious prospects in that department either. As I said, things just didn't come together like I had hoped.
But hey, I don't have the nerve to head butt you like you do me, so that has got to be a positive point from your perspective!!!

So, Limited, going to become a "Perfect Man" are you. So, when do the sex change operations begin?

I feel you all the way and I have the same sentiments as far as being postive. ONe thing I have noticed about Aries tho is that we dont have to try too hard to be postive at least I never did. I always looked on the birght side of things, but my optimism has taken a beaten as well as my confidence. All I pray and wish for is to be content with I have no matter what and to get my confidence and my outlook on life back or maybe even a new one in general. I dont need or want anything tangible right now.

Unfortunately I can't afford a whole lot at the moment. Finances are a huge part of my life right now (understandably a huge part of everyone's life) and with Saturn in Scorpio moving through my financial sector for the next few years, I don't necessarily expect that situation to improve any time soon and/or without a lot of planning and dedication.

Until then, I suppose I'll have to work on things that don't require money, such as flatulating wherever I please, chopping wood, and continued growth of facial hair.

Ah my friend, now the secret is out about what "dofacc" really means I would enjoy these last precious moments of bachelorhood while you still have them😉


*I wouldn't classify myself as lonely, just alone. I am actually great company despite my dxp ramblings might portray.
You know what I mean, I don't need to explain this stuff.

It's kind of cool that you wouldn't be game to headbutt me🙂 Maybe it is just a symptom of years of locking horns with the Scorp?
That weariness will disappear with time. You have many many years of happy headbutting ahead!

**To further digress and veer off-thread my desolate Aries friend who lost his wife a few years ago (she died, we didn't just misplace her) is now happily being shackled to the bedframe by his new policewoman girlfriend.
She arrived on the scene at his most desolate. He had given up and was resigned to a fate of bachelorhood, then suddenly, lights, sirens, handcuffs.....the works.

I apologize for my last post, ... Do not ever hesitate to vent RNAP

huh?
apology completely unecessary!

I love you guys.

I love you too boo! 🙂

Ive read this message board for hours.lol. Very Very Informative. I love how all of us Arian People can come here and connect. And the past 3 days Ive been immersed in Astrology, as Aries sometimes get all into something for a short while! I have to say, I have high hopes for 2013, as I presume most of you also do! The past few years have been rough, and I see that rings true for alot of you too as well. 2011 and 2012 I had financial ups and downs, alot of job quitting,lol. I do that Alot!! Power struggles at work, as well as loss of some friendships. Also the past two years, Ive been really reserved, and hermetic, which is strange for Aries male or female, so Im guessing its normal, and has to do with planets within our charts! Thanks for all the helpful info guys/gals, you all just re-inspired me! This is my new fav place online, and Ill be frequenting this message board often, until I find something else. LOL. Thanks Arians! Namaste
