21 March-19 April

 

TAURUS; The universe will help you not only manage money more effectively, but also to find ways to bring in more cash. You will have two exceptionally fine aspects for money: First, Mercury and Venus are in your 2nd house (house of money). You may be focused on two financial deals or you may receive an extra income. In the other hand, it's time to go shopping for things you need! When it comes to money management, you are careful by nature. With these planets you may an opportunity to change work, having a raise, make more money with a side job or new client. Keep in mind that Mercury retrogrades at the end of this month, so, you may feel the resulting slowdowns and cancellations well in advance of its onset. Mercury retrograde is not a good time to sign contracts, to move or to make personal decisions. With Venus in your sign, creative projects could attract love, friends, groups and associates to your side. What you say has a profound affect on the lives of people around you but realize that you have a right to think and feel as you do, anything can happen!

 

   20 April-20 May

 

GEMINI: With Mercury in your sign, you can learn to better understand how you connect with others, and how to improve the quality of your relationships.  Any efforts you make in that direction will bring you great rewards, both now and later. Use everything you've learned about yourself over the last few years to mold new expectations for the future. Your good health and high energy could enable you to explore territories that are new and exciting, so, find ways to direct your high energy into productive areas. You may have to pinch yourself to be sure you’re not dreaming. The biggest danger now may be coming from your own need to defend your ideas. Your insecurities may motivate you to overreact when you feel like you’re being attacked. Move beyond your personal point of view and try to see the situation from a wider perspective. It’s time to take another step beyond your self interests. Happiness may come from running around, seeing friends, and sharing your joy over newfound conditions. This month is the month to express your contagious enthusiasm. You could sell anything to almost anyone. Appeal to coworkers to join you in collecting funds or in starting projects that will benefit everyone. Investing money in your own talent could be essential now. You’re able to find a gallery or showcase for your artistic endeavors. In fact your financial life is improved by any activity that relates to beauty, pleasure, or art. You can also ask for aid from people who are in a position to invest in you.  

 

   21 May-21 June

 

CANCER: Mercury and Venus in your 12th solar house will highlight your intuition. If you have not come to rely on this important sixth sense, you are missing out on a wonderful gift. It is a good month to meditate about the events of the year and to make any strategic changes to get your life in order. The thinking you do before you act is always critical. Take things slow and easy while you can and treat yourself to quiet time. Even if you face some difficulty, stress and anxieties, this month you still feel more confident. Send out your resume, advertise your abilities, and value what you have to give to certain industries. Before the 25th responses from friends, groups, or associates will be especially positive. After the 25th , Mercury retrogrades, so you may need someone to help you share the decisions and responsibilities of important projects. This month, you may be contemplating a home in another locale. If so you should investigate before you make an impulsive move. Relationships may become stronger and more enduring this month. Successes boost the strength of business partnerships; love relationships may advance to the next level of commitment. Therefore, this is a great month to get together with anyone close to you, for your relationship is very likely to grow because of it.

 

   22 June-22 July

 

LEO: This should be one of your very favorite months of the year. Mars is in your sign, giving you outstanding get-up-and-go. Suddenly you feel there is nothing you can't accomplish, and you're right about that. You will have several weeks to schedule meetings and present your proposals and dreams to others. You won't take "no" for an answer, nor should you! Your passion for what you desire will be irresistible!  With the new Moon and Venus in your 10th solar house will be a glorious month to attend a major party, wedding, reunion, or to go on vacation. Creatively, you will operate on an unusually high, sophisticated level this month. Your mastery over your talents is apparent, and others appear to be as excited by your abilities as you are! You may find you will attend meetings to discuss projects; someone wants your input, and you're glad to give it. However, THIS month will be special in that you will have a new moon in your 10th house, so projects started now may spin into being and propel you to a whole new place.

 

23 July-22 August

 

VIRGO: When you are being too careful and too cautious your judgment can in fact totally misguide you. This may explain the frenzy in the early part of this month, which could find you hastily cutting off any and all ties. Sometimes you ignore your inner voice when really you should give this sixth sense much more credit for its reliability. When you are called upon to make decisions about present day relationships, look to your past experiences. What you have already been through holds the key to what you should or should not do if you wish to build the partnership of your dreams. You need to get out and mingle with those who can help you get ahead. Your involvement in active groups will allow you to demonstrate your leadership qualities. At work, discuss your ideas and concepts with a partner, your mate, or someone in a position. This person may bring more help than you think. This is also a month to share emotional expression. You may be in a phase where your feelings are closer to the surface than normal, and as uncomfortable as this might make you feel, it’s also a cleansing time. Move the deepest fears right up to the front of the line, where the light is bright and all can see. Ultimately, it will help take the pressure off your hidden fears. Let go of the past. It’s time to face your own demons, even if it appears they are coming from someone else. You should enjoy creative endeavors or physical fitness programs that will help get you into shape for the summer.

 

 23 Aug.  22 Sept.

 

LIBRA: Your instincts will serve you well on both romantic and business levels. Before you make any decisions in these areas and have thought things carefully through, quiet your mind and listen closely to your instincts before your final decision. Put thought into re-structuring your organization strategy. There are a couple of adjustments that need to be made in order to achieve maximum productivity. Once spotted, these changes will seem very obvious and logical to you, seek out the unnecessary time-drains. Also, investigate the “killing two birds with one stone” theory, perhaps exercise with a loved one... this can be exceptional bonding time that does not take away from necessary fitness time. By choice, there are positive changes in the works for you and you must pay attention to small details, it is the small details that will ultimately lead you to big changes as they build upon one another. Your loved ones will need a sense of feeling included in your goals so keep them informed. The consistent contact will strengthen your relations during this busy time, as well. This would also be a good time to express your tender feeling towards another whom you have been thinking a lot about. After the 5th have fun with a loved one, you have been too serious lately!

 

23 Sept.-23 Oct

 

SCORPIO: For some reason you may not feel like you are in tune with the situation you find yourself in this month. Try not to get too pushy when it comes to your opinion about how things should be done. Honor other people's perspectives and approaches. It may be hard for others to commit to things the same way you can. Their methods may be different, but that doesn't mean that they are necessarily any better or worse than yours. A relative may get some bad news concerning a close friend of theirs and will look to you for support. Even though they will make light of the situation, be aware that they are hurting deeply inside. Partnership matters may demand that you allow for the unpredictable. If everything seems to go wrong at the base of your life and electrical problems occur, both literally and figuratively, keep your head. Don’t exaggerate the situation. This will pass. Everyone seems to have problems with nervous tension, and be unable to speak clearly or make sense. That also will pass.

 

 

 24 Oct. -21 Nov. 

 

SAGITTARIUS: The future is stretching out in front of you. The expectations you plant in your thoughts have a greater power than ever over the experiences you encounter and create. Dive into conversations with an enthusiasm to work things through this month. With Mercury/Venus in Gemini, it will increase your sex appeal. You’ll have to be ready to handle extra attention! If you ever thought of yourself as somewhat invisible, you won’t feel that way later this month!  Soft-spoken ideas may carry a great deal of weight. If you feel that associates have stepped on your toes you will have a greater impact if you use sweet talk, it will prove to yourself that you’re on top of all situations. You definitely may discover a developing business opportunity as a result of your determination. With Venus in your 7th house of relationship, love could enter your life in a big way. If you want it...dream about it, think about it, and believe in it. Mercury asks you to make something more out of certain projects and relationships of the past. You'll bring to consciousness a diversity of emotional responses that are deeply enmeshed in your character. You will, in essence, be able to sort out your reactions from others; to distinguish your fears from their own. The value of knowing whose is whose and what is what can't be exaggerated: it's about claiming your power, letting go of the past, and affirming your own perceptions as the right ones to live by.

22 Nov.-21 Dec.

 

CAPRICORN: With all the good aspect of Jupiter, honor and recognition come your way and financial success seems assured. You can express your ideas to groups and make presentations that will not only win approval but will also be solid and sound. Your commitment to work and public life helps improve both your health and your sense of well-being. Social situations could be particularly enjoyable now. You will feel Mercury retrogrades slowdown some of your projects, as you see, this will cut into Mars’ visiting your 10th solar house (career sector). A project from the past will probably jump to life now or someone you knew from your past will call to offer you a place on their team. Normally, is not normally a good time to accept a new job offer when Mercury retrogrades, but for you Capricorn, you CAN accept it without fear. Any relationship initiated in the past is favored under this dynamic. You will be extremely popular; thanks to your ability to negotiate deals! If you are looking for love you could meet someone important now. Have high hopes and passionate dreams.

 

22 Dec.-19 Jan.

 

AQUARIUS: Feeling safe is a decision that we make. Whether it's about feeling safe in your home, in your community, in your country or in your own skin, I have seen that ultimately this is based more on throwing away the evidence than on accepting it; more about throwing away the past than about worshipping it or sitting around expecting it to repeat itself. You are in new emotional and psychological territory. You're likely to discover you're in new territory in many aspects of your life, which is another way of saying that an old story about how threatened you are is giving way to a new story about how safe you are, and how bold. If you aren’t clear as to who you are, you will be defined by others so take heed and be aware!!  The full Moon (in your 10 solar house) square with Neptune in your sign, may create conditions that will coax you to decide about what YOU really want in the future. Is it time to formalize the alliance or is it time to leave without regrets? That's your call, but be prepared-there won't likely be any fence sitting allowed. Finances may play a part in your decision. This will be a full moon, so it is likely to be much more emotional than the new Moon because it may bring up a few old memories or nostalgic feelings. Something very important to you is now coming to an end and you will find life more stable very soon.

 

20 Jan.-18 Feb.

 

PISCES: Imagine that everything in your life is based on an arrangement, an agreement, a negotiated deal or a contract. The more conscious those agreements, the better. Awareness itself may stir up some turbulence, but that's a necessary part of the process, one for which a little courage ought to ease the way. The reason that negotiations are often so difficult is because both parties perceive their own weakness in a situation, at the same time they are reluctant to admit the strength of the other party. Try it this way: feel your own strength, and affirm that it is more or less meaningless without the strength of those close to you. That will make the solution to your current puzzle clear. The simplest facts of life may vibrate with the most cosmic overtones now. One of those is the recognition of how much you have to offer the world, and how capable you are of rising to its demands on you. You have long known that your stability and central location in the scheme of your relationships offers you much protection from the rising and falling fortunes of the world. You've long suspected that you have a gift to express that goes beyond all the petty rules that have been established to make great achievements that much more difficult. The greatest among them is having faith in yourself, which is your true gift to the world.
