All Signs
There's an interesting pattern in the sky right now. (I'm not referring to the "Cardinal climax" between Saturn, Pluto and Uranus.) In the next month, the Sun will be opposite Jupiter and Uranus. This means it's a time of culmination for many of us. It also represents a "breaking free" energy running through our lives. But hey - this can also bring sudden good fortune! Because many possibilities exist -- it's important to define what you really want. It's time to go for the brass ring! Don't get hung up on whether it is actually attainable. (Sounds weird, I know.) Once you define what you want -- life will scale your dream back to the parameters of your reality. Oh yes. It's that "get real" moment. "Wake up and smell the coffee!" (I hate smelling the coffee.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
For the next month, your focus will be on work and health. Suddenly, you're gung ho to be as efficient as you can! You want everything in its place. You'll go through stuff to get organized, and downsize what you don't need, and store things in orderly ways. (Labels and all.) Since you're on this kick, give yourself the right tools to do a bang-up job! Buy shelving, filing folders, paint, cleaning equipment, whatever you need. And while you're on this improvement kick -- what can you do to improve your health? A twofold approach might work: cut back on something harmful; increase what is helpful.(Wow, pretty soon, you'll be perfect!)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It's fun city for you, dear Taurus, because you're entering a very pleasurable time of year. Get ready for serious party mode! The placement of the Sun now encourages romance, love affairs, social soirees, the theatre, movies, sports, and all kinds of fun stuff. This doesn't mean you're not working hard, because you are. But you will definitely make a greater effort to entertain others as well as be entertained by whatever life offers. Accept all invitations. Enjoy the company of others. Playful activities with children will delight. Make time for picnics, plays, and creative activities. You couldn't pick a better time to go on a vacation! (You know you need a holiday if you look like your passport photo.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Home and family plus real-estate issues absorb your attention. This is happening for several reasons. For starters, events around you are causing you to focus on home and family more than usual. But in addition, old family business is back in your lap again! I think you can work this to your advantage. Mercury retrograde will help you wrap up old details, and finish things with family members, home repairs, and family business matters. Expect correspondence and discussions about these issues. You might also encounter relatives you haven't seen for ages (especially if you just won the lottery). Fortunately, you've got energy to play, flirt, and have fun!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Busy you! Short trips, discussions with others (especially siblings) plus increased reading and writing make for a busy month ahead. However, Mercury is going to throw a few zingers your way. Expect transportation delays, auto breakdowns, delayed mail, canceled appointments, lost papers, and confused communications. Oy vey! Allow yourself extra time for everything. Believe in Murphy's Law. Be extra clear in all your communications. Fortunately, this is a good time to wrap up old business with siblings. Good time to finish writing projects as well. "Foreword ho!" (Or as prairies gardeners like to say, "Forward hoe!")
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You're focused on money in the month ahead because both the Sun and retrograde Mercury are in your House of Earnings. This is good news and not so good news. The good news is the Sun will attract money and goodies to you. (We like!) This is a good time to look for a job, or ways to make money on the side, or how to get the best use out of the money you have. (Bang for your buck!) However, retrograde Mercury will slow down funds coming to you. (Grrr.) Cheques in the mail will be late. Invoices might be disputed. You might lose or misplace money or possessions. Howevah! Past ways of making money might suddenly reappear. Ka-ching!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
It's all about you. The Sun in your sign attracts favourable circumstances, opportunities, and important people to you in the month ahead. Demand the advantage! Make the most of this time. It is very opportune that you have this lovely boost from the heavens while you're a bit hexed with retrograde Mercury in your sign! This brings a lovely balance. Of course, ex-partners, confused communications, lost papers and cancelled appointments are driving you nuts. You want life to be more organized. I say, turn this to your advantage. Finish old business. Get hold of people from your past who you want to see. Discover what was already lost.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is your turn to lie in the weeds and play it low-key. Work alone or behind the scenes. What you really need to do is get off by yourself and do some serious thinking. You need to replenish, restore, and rejuvenate yourself! You also need time to sit around sort of dazed and just think about life. Of course, because three planets are in your sign (Venus Mars and Saturn) you really won't get as much chance for this downtime as you need. Nevertheless, seek it out. And when you do schmooze with others, you will be charming -- oh so charming. (Venus has a way of doing this.) The month ahead is a great time to shop for wardrobe goodies.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might be surprised at the people from your past who are suddenly popping up! But it's interesting. It's fun to trade histories. And it's always an opportunity to learn more about yourself and life. Actually, this next month is a popular time for you. Many of you will be more active in group situations. You might join clubs or organizations. You'll meet new acquaintances. Some might become friends. This is also a good time for you to get helpful feedback from others, especially about your goals and what you want to do in the future. Secret love affairs and secret activities are taking place. (Oh my.) But then, you're very private, aren't you? (Have you been selected for a secret mission?)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is the only time all year when the Sun is at high noon in your chart. This highlights you in a very positive way! (Especially in the eyes of bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs.) You make a great impression on important people this month. (And you don't even have to do anything special.) I say, milk this for all it's worth! Go after what you want. You might succeed in getting more than you thought was possible. Contact with old bosses or parents you have not seen for awhile might surprise you. In addition, a friend could become a lover. (People are certainly glad to see you.)Competition with someone is also likely. It's a busy active time! Let your good luck come to you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You want more out of life! Do travel in the next six weeks if you can. And if you can't physically travel, then travel through film, books, or interact with people from different backgrounds and other cultures. You want adventure and new knowledge! Why not act on this impulse? Go someplace you've never been to before. Be a tourist in your own city. Meanwhile, you can also explore opportunities in publishing, the media, higher education, medicine, and the law. Romance with someone older, richer, or more established might also begin. "But Mom! He's too short for me!" "Short? Ha! He can stand on his wallet." (Caution: if you marry for money - you'll earn every penny.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
For various reasons, you will be fixated on inheritances, insurance matters, shared property, and things that other people own, especially partners or ex-partners. Fixated is the word. Obsessed might be closer. You are a bit like a dog with a bone with whatever you're dealing with -- you won't let go! Fortunately, travel opportunities, as well as opportunities in publishing, higher education, the law, medicine, and the media are promising. You can make strides here. Nevertheless, wrap-up old business with shared property or things you hold jointly with others. Get this stuff out of the way. (And forgive your enemies -- nothing could annoy them more.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Next week, lucky Jupiter returns to your sign to stay for the rest of the year. (Yay me!) This means good things are going to happen to make you feel happier. Something will boost your self-confidence and poise. ("I'm too sexy for my shoes!") Even though disputes about shared property, inheritances, and something you hold jointly with others are taking place, gifts and goodies can also come to you. Time to collect! Romance is unusually sweet and alluring. Dealings with ex partners are unavoidable with retrograde Mercury opposite your sign. Wachyagonnado? You can stand on your own two well-shod feet. Ever since 2007, you've been out of the box, and going for the gold, which will materialize around 2016. (Time flies when you're unconscious.)
