All Signs

This week we have the Full Moon in Gemini on Tuesday the 17th. This is why, starting today, we feel energy and tension building up before Tuesday's Full Moon. It's interesting to note that problems tend to intensify and grow as we get closer to the Full Moon, and then after the Full Moon peaks, these same problems diminish or even disappear. Go figure. Be patient with others today and tomorrow because your emotions will be amplified. Contrary to what Mae West said, too much of a good thing isn't always wonderful. And it's generally fattening. Of course, cookie pieces don't count. Somebody has to clean those up. You're simply doing the world a favour. ("Are these made with real butter?")

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have a strong month ahead because this is the only time all year when the Sun is at the top of your chart, putting you in the limelight. Please note: This light is flattering! This means that others, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs see you in super positive terms. To them, you are capable, attractive and talented! (Which, of course, we know you are.) This is why others will ask you to take on increased responsibilities or do something special. Just say yes because this dazzling light will do all the work. In other words, you don't have to do anything special to impress everyone. Meanwhile, think before you say or do anything in the next few days because until Wednesday, this is a mildly accident-prone time for you. Tip-toe.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week the Sun moves into Capricorn, your fellow Earth Sign, which bodes well for you. "Elemental, my dear Watson." This means that the month ahead promises adventure, travel and exciting groundbreaking experiences that will please you and broaden your horizons. You'll enjoy art, beautiful buildings and natural scenery, probably in very different surroundings, perhaps other countries. Some of you will begin a cozy relationship with someone from another culture. This is a great time to take up a new study, a new hobby or pursue an intellectual discipline because you want to stimulate your mind. Learn whatever you can. Eat at ethnic restaurants. (Yummers!)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The only Full Moon in your sign all year is on Tuesday, which means today and tomorrow you might feel increasingly at odds with partners and close friends. I'm sure it will feel the other way around but really it's a two-way street, isn't it? Patience is your ally because patience is the antidote to anger. Chill out. Your month ahead will be intense (at every level) and sexually passionate. Not only that, others will be generous to you. Expect gifts, goodies and favours to come your way plus a chance to benefit from the wealth of a partner or friend. "Drinks on me!" You're in the mood to work hard and party hard.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Because the Moon is your ruler, you tend to feel the Full Moon energy more than other signs. In fact, you probably already feel more emotional about something right now because the Full Moon is about 48 hours away. Because it is occurring in a hidden part of your chart, you might feel vaguely restless and not know why. This could also manifest as tension with co-workers or somebody related to your job, or possibly even your health. One thing is certain: This week the Sun moves opposite your sign, which puts it as far away from you as it gets all year. Since the Sun is your source of energy, it means you're going to need more sleep in the next four weeks. Catch some zzzzz's. Respect your need for more rest.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might experience some agitation with female friends today and tomorrow. This is simply how the Full Moon on Tuesday will manifest for Leos. No biggie. Just remember that Mars makes you more forceful in your speech. (This will go on for months.) Later in the week, you will get a strong urge to get better organized at home and at work. You will strive to have everything running smoothly in its place. You might even get on a health kick and make lists about eating better and getting more exercise. Meanwhile, a work-related romance could begin for some of you. (Keep it quiet.) New romance always makes it easier to lose weight. (And the exercise is fun, too.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might feel torn between the demands of career and your external world versus the demands of home and family. After Tuesday, this tug-of-war will diminish. (It's just a buildup of tension before Tuesday's Full Moon.) No worries because you have such a fun-loving, promising month ahead! The next five weeks or longer promise mini-vacations, parties, social diversions, sports events, flirtations, new romance, and increased opportunities to enjoy the arts, the entertainment world and go to hotels and restaurants. Enjoy hanging out with younger, creative people. It's fun city for Virgos!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be careful today and tomorrow because Tuesday's Full Moon, which is about 48 hours away, could create an accident-prone situation for you. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do. Guard against knee-jerk reactions or saying something without thinking. (Not your style but it can happen.) Meanwhile, in the bigger picture, the next five weeks will be all about home, family and your private world. You might entertain at home (almost certainly) and you will enjoy the company of younger, artistic people. Naturally, you will tweak your digs to make everything look elegant and inviting. You like beautiful rooms.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Tension about financial matters might come to a head in the next few days. Fortunately, it will subside by Wednesday. In the bigger picture, this week you enter a five-week window of time where you will be busier. Your daily pace will accelerate with short trips, increased reading and writing and busy errands and conversations with everyone. You're on the go with high energy. In particular, you want to enlighten others about something. ("I have a dream.") This same window of time will be excellent for those of you who write, edit, sell, market, teach and act because your words will be golden.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Relations with partners and close friends might be rocky right now because in 48 hours, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year will take place. Actually, this is really no big deal. This increased tension is nothing you can't handle. Be nice. Later in the week, the Sun changes signs, which channels your focus to money matters for the next month or so. Expect to be more fixated on cash flow, earnings and taking care of what you own. You'll spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. But it does look like you can think of ways to boost your earnings. (You're clever at this.) This continues to be a time where you benefit from the wealth and resources of others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Good news for Capricorns. Although the Full Moon on Tuesday might create tension today and tomorrow with colleagues at work, the Sun will move into your sign at the end of the week to stay for four weeks. This will boost your energy and give you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. It will also attract important people to you, as well as favourable circumstances. In other words, it is quite literally your time in the Sun! You will also find it easy to make a great impression on others. But at work, you will want to run your own show and be your own boss. You have a great need to express yourself to others - go right ahead. This is the one time of year when your first duty is to yourself. (The secret of life is to look good at a distance.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today and tomorrow you might have to be more patient with children, especially your own kids. You'll also have to be patient with romantic partners. Meanwhile, because your birthday is a month away, this means your personal year is coming to an end. This also means you have a month before your new year begins, which is why the next few weeks are the perfect time to give yourself a report card. What's the picture? How are things going? How do you want next year to be different from this year? Lay out a few guidelines - in fact, write them down. People who are successful have goals, which means they know where they're going.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be patient with family members so that you can reduce domestic tension today and tomorrow, which might occur because of the pending Full Moon early Tuesday. Harmony at home is important to everyone's health and well-being and happiness. Get ready for a popular five weeks ahead because the Sun and fair Venus will really push your social calendar. You'll enjoy good times with friends as well as group activities. In fact, any kind of group setting, whether it's business or personal, will be a positive experience. Romance can flourish. Friends can become lovers and lovers can become friends. It's also a good time to do some goal-setting. And why not buy some kick-ass shoes?
