ARIES

Mar 20-Apr 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

In the face of being told what you can’t do, you’re all the more able to forge ahead. There really isn’t any stopping you, although it’s important you rest and take a break now and then! The whole purpose of your sign is to show the way. You’re the hottest fire sign of the zodiac. The more times you’re told “no” this week, the stronger your muscles become. You are coming into the final stretch.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

The emphasis on home and luxury dining is about to shift. If you feel like you can’t take another group meal that’s beyond the pale, have no fear. You’re nearly at the end of a big social circle that needs to complete for its own sake. In a few weeks, you’ll be headed towards a healthy diet and, very likely, romance. Go ahead and get that hair or wardrobe “touch up”. Freedom ahead!

GEMINI

May 20-Jun 20

♥♥♥ ¥ ♣♣

Pallas Athene in your house of partnership may make you feel like kicking up your heels. If you’re single, you may be looking to see if there’s anyone else as fun as you are! “Twosome” is definitely a theme this week. However, they’ll have to pique your interest in some special way—or at least stay in alignment with your far-reaching view of the world! A surprise trip may fall into place.

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 21

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣

You have a big heart, and would do it all if you could. Cancers treasure tradition and special moments—you can even be sentimental, though you may not easily admit it. Your friends know who you are, so you don’t mind if others don’t “get” you. Strength comes in many forms, but the courage of your conviction takes you home each time. Someone from your past may reach out to you.

LEO

Jul 22-Aug 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Leos have had a testing time. You’re used to being in charge, but something—someone?—may be slowing you down or even stopping you from reaching an important goal. Luckily, Venus retrogrades back into your sign, and Juno is in your solar second house of income—which means you have back-up coming, and perhaps some financial interest on your good works, too!

VIRGO

Aug 22-Sep 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Venus is retrograde, leaving your sign to re-enter Leo. This is akin to seeing your dream plans fall back into the shadows. Don’t buy into the idea they’re dissolving—unless you want them to. What has been a troubling time is about to clear up. Are your concerns on behalf of someone else, or fueling a frustration you haven’t been able to resolve? Possibly both? Watch the details to state your case successfully.

LIBRA

Sep 22-Oct 22

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

At the moment, the word “balance” may just be laughable, unless you’ve had the good fortune to  hide out from the world. If anything, the Aries energy opposing your sign has invaded your space and set your feelings on fire. True, you are a diplomat when it comes to dealing with others. But this week, a certain someone may hear just exactly what’s on your mind!

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Saturn in Scorpio—oh no, not that subject again!—isn’t fun the first time you go through it. But right now, it’s retrograding over areas it visited last December. This time you can laugh, seeing  through all the smoke and mirrors. You’ve created your power base, your support team, and your method of handling the spears and arrows. You may even find time to play a little. Enjoy it with relish!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 20

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Watch for the fun to begin. What at first seemed like a huge emotional blow now becomes a means of empowerment. You’ve built the muscles needed, and will never fall into anyone’s maneuvering again. Knowing this, laughter comes easier and you’re able to breathe. Do something original, even if it didn’t work before. The universe may give you a second chance.

CAPRICORN

Dec 21-Jan 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣

Your partner may cut a swathe through the craziness for you. If you’re single, you may have to do it for yourself. Mars opposite your sign has developed muscles lately and is in the final degrees of your relationship house. If your beloved is driving you crazy or wearing you out, things are about to calm down; if single, get ready. You’ll be moving faster, in the direction you prefer.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 17

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

You’re on a lucky streak, although you may not think so. As Jupiter finishes up in your partnership sector, you’re able to get ready for a bonus or form of recognition. It may be as small and sweet as being noticed for a new hairstyle, or as large as a raise or an extended vacation. At the same time, Mars helps you have the stamina you need to finish up a project at work. Success!

PISCES

Feb 18-Mar 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣

You have the votes in your corner, but you may not know it yet. Juno opposite your sign is helping to hold things up, but hasn’t reached her full power. In the meantime, Venus retrogrades right out of this sector and ends up refuelling your work days—and nights. This can mean a bonus, more money in your pocket, or a comfortable upgrade which you allow yourself to enjoy!
