ARIES

Mar 20-Apr 19

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

Waiting does not make your heart go pitter-patter. In fact, just the opposite. If you have a goal in mind, having to put pauses between your actions can be one long frustration. The universe does have a plan, and you’re part of it. If you find your finances, location, or time schedule hasn’t allowed you to reach the finish line yet, chalk it up to enforced reflection and windows of discovery.

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 19

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Next step: keep yourself open to receive. You know this, of course. But when an opportunity arrives, do you find you don’t want to let go of what you have? If the universe wants you to have both, you’ll get to keep both. In the meantime, enjoy Mars’ entry into the spot where you live. The Sun and Venus can help you win this race to happiness.

GEMINI

May 20-Jun 20

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

If you try to keep both sides of yourself happy, you might spin like a top. Some people like to be dizzy; others don’t. You’ve become a master at balance, which comes in handy. Mars has entered your conversation sector, so what you say goes. Enjoy this power! The Sun and Venus are there too, just to make sure you receive a comfortable place to relax in luxury and warmth.

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 21

♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Holding your feelings in isn’t going to work; it’ll show in other ways. Some Cancers like to eat soul-restoring food, only to find it addictive. Others dismiss their needs to smooth soothing balm on others. The truth is, Mars has entered your money sector. With Venus and the Sun there too, this is the time to put yourself first. Bank or buy; whichever helps you feel secure.

LEO

Jul 22-Aug 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

With Venus retrograde in your sign, don’t be dismayed if you see the money coming and it goes right past you—this is just a temporary situation. When a planet is retrograde, it’s time to look at choices past. Having everything figured out—signed, sealed, and delivered—is on its way. So be sure to check in with yourself to see if you’re headed in the direction you really want to go.

VIRGO

Aug 22-Sep 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Jupiter has entered Virgo. You’re about to experience the arrival of thoughts you’ve had, and many of your wishes. Hopefully you wished for good things—things you can handle. And not too many, or you’ll be so busy, there’ll be no time for critical analysis. And then how will things get figured out? You may soon break the bank in some very memorable way.

LIBRA

Sep 22-Oct 22

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

The infusion of Aries’ traits into your sign—because it’s opposite Libra, and is intense—is like a breath of fresh air. No longer do you have to suss out everyone’s comfort level before you utter your first word. You can say it like it is, mean it, and bank it. Jupiter’s just entered your solar 12th house; your dreams are brightening to the highest levels you can imagine.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Your ability to sense a situation in the making has a lot to do with your empathic musculature. The thing is, feeling below the surface can be like an anchor if you’re swimming in someone’s depths. If you want to kick up your heels but the energy has dissolved, take some time to sit with your hesitation. It may not be comfortable, but will help you stay on target. Then you can act with success.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 20

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Frustration as you wonder where all your happy-go-lucky days went to? The drag on your subconscious is enormous right now. Your determination to persevere is growing, but you may not be able to flex your muscles as yet. If you feel weighed down or slow to respond, you’re on the right path. The prominence you will eventually reach is developing at a sustainable rate.

CAPRICORN

Dec 21-Jan 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

The hardest thing for a Capricorn is not to have control of a situation. That’s why Pluto in your sign is so daunting: you continue to be between a rock and a hard place, yet you must keep going. There are rewards for you with Venus, the Sun, Mars, and the Moon on Friday in your solar eighth house. It may not be what you expect or come from where you thought it would—but it is there, waiting.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 17

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Although you’re often first to see the spiritual perspective—a courageous electric spark in any group, you may find that lightning bolts still fill up your hard drive this week. Venus, the Sun, Mars, and the Moon on Friday light up your actions in an important relationship. Everything is focused on what you’re currently shouldering. Your plans for the future will manifest—just not quite yet.

PISCES

Feb 18-Mar 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

If you feel the need to look inward but keep getting interrupted by outward events, don’t fret. You’ll find time to explore those deep areas from which you glean your answers. The power of a partner is not to be underestimated with Jupiter, Mercury, Juno, and Dark Moon Lilith clamoring. But recognition of your work calls equally for your attention, and this is what defines  you.
