All Signs

This week two major changes occur: For the next four weeks, the Sun will be in Leo; and for the next six weeks, Mars will be in Gemini. This Leo Sun can happen only once a year; and this Gemini Mars can happen only once every two years. Oh yes, it's a shift! Everyone will be more playful, more lighthearted and ready to put out energy towards fun activities like sports events, movies, the theatre and playful times with kids. Plus, people will eat out, they will vacation, they'll stay in hotels and romance will be intriguing and dramatic. (Some will get carpal tunnel syndrome swiping dating websites.) Grab these opportunities to enjoy yourself! Seek out pleasure. Don't run from temptation - it may not come your way again!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The next four weeks have lots of Fire energy, which is good news for you because you are a Fire sign. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, your ruler fiery Mars is moving into your House of Communications. This is a double whammy. It means the month ahead is the perfect time to express yourself to others. It will be great for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting and writing. However, both the Sun and Venus in the most fun part of your chart will also make this a fabulous time for vacations, social outings, romance, sports events and fun times with kids. Lots of enjoyable socializing ahead! Kiss, kiss, hug, hug!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You're a sensuous ripe peach. (You love good food, good wine, good sex and a nice place to live.) In the next four weeks, the Sun and fair Venus will encourage you to relax at home, redecorate and make where you live more attractive. You'll want to entertain as well. You might be involved with family more than usual, especially a parent. Invite family and friends over because people will enjoy sharing fun times with good food and drink. Meanwhile, this happy emphasis on home and family by extension means that the next four weeks are an excellent time to explore real-estate deals. You'll be working hard to earn money - and spend it!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You'll be PowerPoint on steroids for the next few weeks because fiery Mars has moved into your sign. (This can happen only once every two years, and it lasts for about six weeks.) Mars will boost your energy, your aggressiveness and your sex drive. Va va va voom! It will make you more of a fighter for your rights than usual. Your physical energy level will be high, which makes you pumped and up for anything! Meanwhile, this Leo Sun that is in place for the next four weeks will quicken your daily pace and make you eager to talk to everyone. It will make you just as eager to learn new things, and travel to new places to discover new experiences. Fun times ahead!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Don't be surprised if you find that in the next four weeks, your focus is on money, cash flow, earnings and possessions. It's what's happening. You're never casual about money; and by nature, you are thrifty and frugal. Nevertheless, in the next few weeks, you will spend money on beautiful things, clothing, jewelry, art objects, leather goods to name a few because you want the enjoyment of these items. However, at a deeper level, you'll be thinking about your core values and what is important to you. You will want to know what really matter, because if you don't, you might miss the boat. You don't want to be 90 years old looking in the mirror thinking, "You blew it, kid."

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Ta da! This week the Sun moves into Leo to stay for four weeks. (Happens only once a year.) This will boost your confidence and up your game. This is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. This is why you will project yourself to others more forcefully. You'll make a strong impression on others. You'll also feel a need to express yourself because the Sun and Venus are both in your sign, making you charming, diplomatic and energized! (You can see what a winning combo this is.) Knowing this, the month ahead is obviously the time to go after what you want. Make your pitch. Doors will open for you. Shop for wardrobe treasures!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your personal year is drawing to a close because your birthday is a month away. This means the next four weeks are limbo-like. You're waiting in the wings before you step out centre stage to take a bow. (Modestly, of course.) However, you can use this window of time to think about what you want for your new year ahead (birthday to birthday). Why not identify some goals? Goals give you a sense of purpose. They clarify future decision-making. They give you a clearer focus on what's important, which ultimately gives you better control over your future. (That's it. I'm going to make a goal right now.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Good news! The next four weeks will be the most sociable times of the year for you! Meanwhile, you are one of the most sociable signs in the zodiac. ("It's a great fit - I'll take two, please.") This is why friendships will be important to you right now. You'll want to catch up with people and exchange histories. You might also wonder what role certain friends play in your world? You want to find people who accept you for who you are, better yet, they love you for who you are. And best of all - they'll pick up the tab for lunch. (Kidding.) This is also a great time to work in conjunction with others. Partnerships will flourish. Your idealism will be aroused. A fascinating month ahead!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Sun is at the top of your chart for the next four weeks, which is eventful. This happens only once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that you're in a spotlight. And this spotlight is flattering! This means you look great to others, which is why you might be asked to take on increased responsibilities or given a promotion. Fear not, you can handle whatever is expected of you because it's all smoke and mirrors. People admire you! (Whether you do anything different or not.) This is the perfect time to ask for permission or approval or advance your agenda. However, do not pretend to be something that you are not. No need for this. Be yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Lucky you! You are the traveller of the zodiac, and for the next four weeks, the Sun is urging you to travel, see foreign countries, and learn and study. You might also explore avenues in medicine and the law. (You love this stuff.) Meanwhile, Venus will attract new romance with someone "different." Naturally, you'll welcome chances to travel for pleasure in the next four weeks, even if it's a tiny get away. However, this week, fiery Mars moves opposite your sign, which could make you irritated with partners and close friends. Consider this an opportunity to practice patience. (Mars opposite your sign happens only once every two years for six weeks.) You can handle this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The next four weeks will be passionate because heady romance will be the stuff of movies. "Natasha!" "Boris!" In fact, you might encounter someone who triggers some psychological self-inquiry within you. They might even be a force for change in your life. They might challenge your value structure? Meanwhile, you will also have a stronger than usual focus on financial resources, shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. You might also be concerned about trying to borrow money or get financial backing. Underlying all these possibilities, you will have a strong desire to be the best that you can be. And why not? Life is short - and fat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Once a year, for four weeks, the Sun is opposite your sign. That time has arrived. This will make you have a strong focus on partnerships and close friendships. This is not the time to go it alone. You'll be involved more than usual with your partner or a close friend. The good news is this polarized position of the Sun gives you more objectivity to understand your relationships. While you cannot change the other person, you can certainly change yourself. To put a finer point on it, you can change how you respond to that person. This means this is your best chance all year to improve your closest relationships! Major bonus.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You'll be surprised at how gung-ho you are to work in the next four weeks. Roll up your sleeves! You intend to work efficiently, effectively and probably longer hours. This is because you're keen to get something done, and you want to do it right. Naturally, you will have a strong sense of reward and satisfaction from what you do. If you work with others, coworkers will be supportive and helpful. In fact, some of you might strike up a work-related romance in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, home improvements or visiting guests will make you put out extra energy to pull things together at home. Fortunately - you're focused!
