ARIES: Mar 21st -- Apr 20th: 

Time to clean up your act! Take a long look at the way you do things and try to find creative pursuits that will help you develop a new career. Also, create a space in your busy day to contemplate your talents and skills around the home and with loved ones. Avoid arguments, however, protect your rights! Someone you know well may speak up in order to help you see a different point of view. Get plenty of sleep and enjoy time alone to contemplate your future. Children are hard to please, but you have something to share from your inner child. If you believe, then the truth will set you free!

TAURUS: Apr 21st -- May 20th:  

Some old outstanding debts need to be cleared before moving on with new projects. Relationships are testy, but with a little patience and understanding, you can find the middle road. Reach out to your local community and offer your skills and trade. Though you may not realize it, you are needed in the most unusual and most unlikely ways, so be alert and on the ball when out and about. Avoid outbursts with loved ones, who only have your interest at heart. Remember, that something worth having is worth fighting for, but not at the expense of your freedom. Watch your sugar levels and stay away from comfort foods.

GEMINI May 21st – Jun 20th:

Use the internet, telephone and any other communications available to share your insights, skills and talents with those in need. Take time out to have a medical checkup, visit the dentist or sort legal issues out. Avoid gossip and hearsay! False information is likely to destroy your month if you allow yourself to be side-stepped into someone else’s problem. Enroll in a meditation class or focus on a light sport to ease your stress and tension. Write a novel, create a poem about your feelings and vent things out of your system. You will feel better then! Avoid spending aimlessly.

CANCER Jun 21st – Jul 22nd: 

Finances come and go as you focus on things of importance. Yes, you do have to speculate on your self-worth, but be cautious of someone who implies they have all the answers, it is probably a con. Buy an address book and fill it with potential business associates, then go visit them and pitch your current or potential business. Yes, they are looking for someone like you! Avoid speculation without good structure or support systems in place. This is a time to expand your ideas and wishes into some other form that will ultimately transform you. Read a good book; enjoy the sunshine and let an inner guidance warm your heart.

LEO Jul 23rd – Aug 22nd: 

Let your eyes take you into a new perspective this month. Nothing is likely to be what you have expected. Out of the blue opportunities will delight your heart, but may confuse your mind. The key is adaptability; good planning and productive activities that will definitely lead you into a new career with world-wide opportunities. So, overcome your fear of change; put your big toe into the water and learn to swim! Avoid stubborn outbursts that cover up your insecurities; let people see that you are vulnerable and they will help you through the changes. Have a medical check-up. A new love may fizzle out.

VIRGO Aug 23rd – Sept 22nd:

This is your time to dig deeply into your true self! Face your conscious mind and all those excuses you have validated over the past nine years; now is the time to be open and honest with yourself. However, avoid over-analyzing or self-judgment as you must break out of the mold you have created. The best way to do this is to follow your heart. Take courses to build-up your self-confidence; study new business skills on-line or attend a weekend seminar to invite new friends into your life. Dress up for the occasion; what feels good on the outside will soon stimulate the inside to flower and show off who you really are. Short trips are a must if you want to meet someone special.

LIBRA Sept 23rd– Oct 22nd:

Contact old friends and learn what they have been doing. Some may surprise you with pleasant opportunities that could change your attitude and later your life. New friends are a little strange, but keep your eyes open for the one that makes your heart beat faster. Join large local groups and dedicate some of your time to helping the needy; it will help you to appreciate what you have. Some may lose a business and feel like the end is near; but keep your head high and look for something else to do. This is a time of transformation for you. The key is to find a balance in what you think and feel and then to act in harmony with yourself and the world. Seek advice from those in the know. A telephone call or email may bring sad news.

SCORPIO Oct 23rd – Nov 21st:

Yes, you are popular now, but unfortunately, it comes at a price! Be very cautious in lending money and especially careful in planning investments. While action is called for, taking time to sort through the ‘stuff’ is the wisest move. Higher-up employees are leaving and you have an opportunity to fill those shoes. Get your resume ready and ask for the job as though it is your right to be there. Those in relationships may find it a testy month, with the weight and burden or responsibility; you could both feel out on a limb! Take time to relax with a romantic movie or go to the park and walk in the twilight. Some may be contemplating marriage, while others divorce.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22nd – Dec 21st:

Far, distant places are calling, whether for work or pleasure. Travel well and make sure to bring a little extra for your own comfort. Spiritual and religious ideas and feelings are pulling you to question your faith. Look deeper inside your heart for inner guidance. Avoid neglecting to answer any form of correspondence. You could miss an important invitation! Be a good listener and learn something new that will introduce you to something entirely different from anything you have heard before. Get technical and up-to-date now, because next year will definitely call for further hi-tech education. Play a game of cards to ease your mind.

CAPRICORN Dec 22nd – Jan 19th:

Something sudden could disrupt your world. Not to worry; you can cope! A secret could surprise you, while an unexpected expense could knock you off your feet. Spend time now re-organizing your finances and making sure that everything is in order with legal advice. Use your energy wisely with simple workouts; avoid conflict with family and friends. Some may inherit or have a windfall, but be leery of spending before the money is in your hands or your bills paid. If you own your own business, you will need to expand with what you have in order to attract and that may be scary for you. Rearrange things and think ‘Big’! Big is more and more is money!

AQUARIUS Jan 20th – Feb 18th:

Get out there and promote yourself as much as you can as there are opportunities at your fingertips if you open your eyes, knock, seek and find! Some may be pulled into business as a team in order to ascertain what works. Many minds can make money if you all agree! But, for this to happen, you must learn to follow and not always need to lead. While competition is good, aggressive rivalry is not! Stretch out a helping hand to those who are of like minds. If you have an objective, be sure that your words are full of explanations so that you keep others in the loop! They are not mind readers and need to share! Local travel is to your advantage. Sport activities are good for your soul.

PISCES Feb 19th – Mar 20th:

This month is all about you! Take a look at those you depend on or who depend upon you; be willing to help and to serve without complaining. However, something may have to change and you must adapt to that change. The emphasis is on transformation from the ‘old’ you to the ‘new’ you. Think long and hard about what you want to do, now that the planets are forcing you towards change. With the outer planets pushing you into your inner core, spiritual awareness is arising in you, while the inner planets are pushing you to assess your emotional outlook on life and your attitude towards yourself. Join a club, get exercise; follow a diet or find a new hobby. Someone cares and you will know it.
