ARIES

Mar 20-Apr 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

You don’t have to wait, with exponential changes abounding. You deserve to have your pick of them. The Moon’s south node in Aries means it’s time to let some things go. Feel free for this to be any number of anchors that restrict your reach, or no longer reflect who you are—if it ever did. By lightening your load, you move faster and enjoy a better view.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Taurus has a tendency to be highly regarded. This is because, in the midst of change on the planet, you can still find time to appreciate beauty and love. You bring these into being on a daily basis. Ruled by Venus, you may be feeling the current retrograde in your area of life at home. Choices are expansive, and have plenty of explosive potential as Mars joins in.

GEMINI

May 20-Jun 20

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Home-based issues take the forefront. It’s hard to ignore Jupiter, Juno, and your ruler Mercury in your chart. Time is of the essence to reap the rewards of delightful dinners, casual conversations, and intimate intrigues. The Sun connects starting Sunday, as you find warm-hearted things to say about everyone—almost. Remember, Saturn is still slowing things down at work.

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 21

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

Studies show time spent “putting yourself together” boosts self-esteem. Venus is retrograde in your money house, making a tense aspect to Saturn in your area of work and health. It’s not indulgent to focus on exercise or home spa treatments. Nutritious meals and comfortable connections are for you. Balance current pressures this way—they’ll lighten up in a few weeks.

LEO

Jul 22-Aug 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Mars in Leo goes to bat for you; it moves with speed and determination, cutting through red tape and muddled thinking. Saturn is square to your sign—a new foundation is being built. If you haven’t done your homework, someone will help you, and the results will take longer. Added to Venus retrograde, you may have to pay twice for something as a lesson learned.

VIRGO

Aug 22-Sep 21

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

If someone says you’re in TMI mode, so be it. Details are your strength, so hang out with those who can handle your awesome abilities and magnificent mind. You’re about to enter your birthday zone—happy birthday! While this infuses your heart and soul, you’ll probably want the material comfort too. It’s worth paying attention to a recurring thought or dream.

LIBRA

Sep 22-Oct 22

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Thoughts below the surface, previously acknowledged and carefully put away, may require another viewing. Due to responsibility and perks you’re about to be offered, it’s reasonable to double-check where you’re going. Your presence and energy are substantial—an asset to any situation. Don’t sell yourself short. A sticky situation could change suddenly in your favor.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

If you’ve acted in haste, which is unusual for a Scorpio, you may be feeling it. An event you recently attended or noticed could have some extra facets. It’s a diamond being polished, so to speak: it sparkles and has true worth. But since diamonds are the hardest to work with, it won’t be figured out overnight, which gives you time to think of what to do with your other gems.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 20

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

The push with Saturn is to stabilize your position. This goes for work, your relationships, finances, and just generally everything that attracts your attention. The universe is currently interested in what’s sustainable; if it’s not, energy and motivation will wane, and projects won’t complete. Put your trust in your vision, even if others try to persuade you otherwise.

CAPRICORN

Dec 21-Jan 19

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Long distance travel or a path to enlightenment. Which would you prefer? Oh, you’re doing both? The good news is, there’s an overwhelming focus on benefits each can bring. Dark Moon Lilith, Mercury, Juno, and Jupiter are hanging out together. They’ll help you restructure the rules, creating new ones that work. Keep in mind: at this point, you really have to come first.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 17

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

This is a week when chickens come home to roost. That doesn’t mean they actually arrive at your door—although it’s a possibility. Jupiter, Juno, Mercury, and Dark Moon Lilith are in your solar eighth house of inheritance; and you’re on the receiving end. This is also the sector of rebirth: what you haven’t seen before is becoming neon bright. The choice is still yours.

PISCES

Feb 18-Mar 19

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

With Saturn still trine to your sign, you may unearth a new question. Luckily, you’re on safer ground. Viewing your feelings, you can be true to yourself, whatever the cost; there was never any other way to be. What seems like a risk today becomes a necessity tomorrow and a drag on your resources the day after. Mercury opposite Pisces continues to bring insights and answers.
