All Signs
This week the Sun moves into Gemini, joining Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in the same sign. (Forget the twins, we've got quadruplets!) Unpredictable Uranus squares off with powerful Pluto and, on Friday, the Full Moon in Sagittarius awaits us. It's a busy week. Everyone will be hustling, talking to neighbours, friends and siblings, reading and writing, and coping with detours and the unexpected. (This includes intense power struggles.) Fasten your seatbelts and remember that patience is a virtue. According to a Dutch proverb, "A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains." (Of course, a brain is only as strong as its weakest think.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Uranus in your sign squares off with powerful Pluto heralding big sudden changes for the better. We're talking radical. These changes will manifest in your appearance, your personality and your style of relating to others, especially authority figures. You might even change your life direction for the better. Meanwhile, in the next six weeks, you'll be busier than a one-armed paper-hanger with hives. Just accept this accelerated pace and go with the flow. Short trips, busy errands, conversations with neighbours and siblings, increased reading and writing plus an ambitious To-Do list will make the next month fly by in a blur of activity. But it will be fun, upbeat and stimulating!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Money, money, money. In the month ahead, your focus is on earnings, cash flow, financial matters and major expenditures. You'll be checking your bank accounts online to confirm what you have and what you don't (almost wishing your dough could grow by magic). Actually, this is a possibility because you're full of money-making ideas right now and the Force is with you. Oh yes. ("Luke, I am your banker.") Now and for months ahead, you have one of the best chances in more than a decade to boost your income. Therefore, your fascination and focus on money and how to get the most bang for your buck is totally appropriate. ("Spare change?")
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Well, well, well - the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are all in your sign. You haven't had this kind of attention since 2001. The Sun will energize you, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Mercury makes you eager to talk to others, while Venus smooths out all wrinkles, making you diplomatic and charming as hell. Of course, lucky Jupiter boosts your enthusiasm, increases your confidence and attracts fortunate people and favourable circumstances to you. Meanwhile, a sudden shift with a group of people or a friend in particular might shock you. Expect a stimulating, fun month ahead full of new experiences that blow your mind. Hoohah!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A cluster of planets in Gemini is "hidden" in your chart, which means a lot of stuff is going on behind the scenes. Some of you are having a secret love affair. Others are enjoying solitude, especially in beautiful surroundings. Ah yes, the good life. Some of you are making plans and doing research, while others are exploring spiritual ideas and getting more in tune with their inner world. Nevertheless, surprise news from authority figures might actually change your life direction. (Whaaat?) Tension or competition with a friend or a member of a group is also likely. You're treading water, waiting for your break-out move. (At least an introvert spends his time minding his own business.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a super popular time! Go forth and speak to your subjects in full dazzle. Everyone wants to see your face. In particular, you'll love hanging out with younger, creative people. Your ambition is aroused now so you're not sitting around getting dusty. Au contraire, you're out there with your colours flying. Since you're talking to so many, share your ideas about a secret dream you have because the feedback from others will help you. Something unusual will expand your world through travel, politics, religion, brilliant ideas and philosophical concepts. You might also have a breakthrough related to publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law. You have a thrilling, promising month ahead.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
There are more planets at the top of your chart now than in more than a decade. This means you're high viz. in the eyes of many, especially authority figures, bosses and parents. It also means you're putting out energy to travel, explore ideas and expand your world. Do not be afraid to speak to others (and vice versa) because you're learning a lot. You might be so enamoured of someone in a position of authority that you develop a crush or start a love affair with a boss or someone older, richer or worldlier. Any one of these activities will likely attract favourable attention to you. It's almost as if you can do no wrong, you look that good. (Opportunity knocks only once, but temptation bangs on the door for years.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
In the month ahead, life will be exciting and thrilling because you will have many chances to expand your experience of the world. Most of you will travel or get further training and education. One thing is certain - you will meet people who stimulate you, teach you and introduce you to new concepts and ideas. Some of you will develop a love affair or romance with someone from a different background or a different country. (This is opportune because your sex drive is heightened this month.) Be careful because radical changes with partnerships and close friends might catch you off guard. Keep in mind these changes are ultimately for the better even if it doesn't look that way at first.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a powerful time because your ruler Pluto is electrically charged by Uranus. This will trigger explosive situations in your life, which might or might not be one of the reasons you're setting off on a new path. Mars opposite your sign creates tension with others. Do be patient because anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable. (The complete truth and you know this.) By mid-June, this influence of Mars is over. In the meantime, it makes you annoyed with others. Of course, from your point of view they are annoying! Good news: In the next six weeks, gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. Not only that, boudoir activities will be memorable. (Hot, actually.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You're working hard now and will continue this way for the rest of the month, dashing around, doing things and delegating like mad. However, your focus is on partners and close friends. Things look good but you might be redefining a relationship or seeing it in a new light. Quite likely, you will have a more accurate appreciation of others. "What would I do without you?" (I'd go to Vegas and have a great time.) Conversations will be meaningful and the month ahead will be the perfect time to patch up misunderstandings. But do take note: You will be more tired in the coming month, which means you need to get more sleep. Go to bed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Surprising changes at home might be one of the reasons you're keen to get better organized. You're almost directing traffic. You will work hard to accomplish a lot because many of you have great job opportunities now or see chances to improve your job or get a better job. You'll also want to make where you work look more attractive. And speaking of attractive - co-workers and bosses look appealing, which is why a work-related romance is likely. Fortunately, it's not all work and no play. Mars makes you feisty, prankish and eager to explore sports and competitive activities. Slip away on a vacation if you can. But first, a little nosh.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a fun-filled month ahead for you! Take a vacation. If you can't do this, then plan lots of social activities and make time for sports, picnics, barbecues, short trips, movies, the arts and playful times with children. Romance can flower beautifully in the next six weeks. This is also a wonderful time for those of you who are creative and artistic because your productivity will surge. You're full of innovative ideas because you see things in a new light, which means you can put a new spin on things. However, do be careful because this week is a mildly accident-prone time for you. Pay attention to everything you say and do.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Home, family and your domestic, private world are your primary focus for the next six weeks - no question. In fact, you can enrich your home life and enhance and deepen your family relationships at this time. (A wonderful opportunity to do this.) Enjoy entertaining at home as well as tackling home repairs. Conversations with a parent could be significant. You will love redecorating or making where you live look more beautiful, which is why entertaining at home will give you a chance to show off your clever ideas. You're aggressive in communications with others now. (It's just what it is.) Keep an eye on financial matters because something unusual might occur. A sudden job offer or a job change? (Work is the curse of the drinking class.)
