ARIES

Mar 20-Apr 19

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣♣

The world’s cooking, and so are you. You may have spent years putting something into play, or starting something new in 2015. Chances are, you are attempting a new approach to an old scenario. One thing is certain: Mercury retrograde is your friend, not the boogeyman this week. Use the extra time (known as “interruptions”) to add more ingredients to your recipe. There no longer is one right answer in our universe. However, there’s the nourishment that opens hearts and brings security back into focus.

 

TAURUS

Apr 20-May 19

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Mercury retrograde is a bore, but it gives you a chance to sidestep things if in the mood. There’s such a preponderance of stellar activity above the horizon of your chart that you’ll be noticed everywhere you go. Your opinion will be sought out, and what seems easy and obvious to you may be hidden to others. This gives you—and them—a chance to reassess. Expect friends to come with urgent calls for plans and fantasies that are hard to pin down but will be fun to discuss!

GEMINI

May 20-Jun 20

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Your solar first house is free and clear, so plan what you like, and enjoy flex time too. Saturn and Pallas Athene in your partnership sector find creative ways to blend security with a spur-of-the-moment lifestyle. This suits you well, as you’re such an information gatherer, you’d rather be able to act on new options than be held to yesterday’s calendar. Going with the flow is now a requirement for the whole zodiac, but you have the jump on them. In fact, you may enjoy being the leader of an adventure with your group of friends and acquaintances this week.

 

CANCER

Jun 21-Jul 21

♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

It’s easy to be critical, but hey, someone has to! Not really, of course. There are infinite ways to say the same thing. Some are born with the ability to act with charm and grace, while others have to work for it. Cancers are warm when secure—otherwise, watch out. The Sun’s now in your solar eighth house. You should receive something wonderful and heartwarming this week. Mercury is retrograde, so it could be delayed. Remember, it’s still on its way to you. Don’t give up!

 

LEO

Jul 22-Aug 21

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Leos are used to being in charge, so it’s surprising when forecasting takes an unexpected turn. Your backup is still in place. Juno and Jupiter are in your sign, but in retrograde. They may appear to sit on the fence when you need them to get moving. Patience is everything, especially with Mercury retrograde. Leos are encouraged to take their time, while others circle slippery slopes. You’re likely to be the bee with honey just when the hot bread comes out of the oven.

 

VIRGO

Aug 22-Sep 21

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

“Those who can, do” turns out often to be you. Earth signs are taking the brunt of the new forces coming in, and you feel it. Mars opposite Dark Moon Lilith in Virgo creates a sharp-edged focus for staying on track while others begin to drift. Mars near Neptune whispers of dreams and fantasy, but it also makes you more porous—you may pick up on the moods and even the thoughts of others. Stick with the positive people and places in your life, and don’t give in to momentary regression. You can do this—and take a break sometimes, too.

 

LIBRA

Sep 22-Oct 22

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

Librans are not about balance per se, but finding balance when it’s in short supply. You may feel stretched to the max with Uranus still playing games in your partnership sector, and Pluto upending plans at home. Inner calm affects your external environment; reaction becomes no action at all. You may not have planned to become a guru in this lifetime, but it looks more like it’s a requirement just to cross the street. Everyone is challenged, but Librans look good doing it. Be glamorous, even this week.

SCORPIO

Oct 23-Nov 21

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣

Being mysterious is second nature to you, but right now it may not feel worth your energy. The pressure of the Pluto-Uranus square’s brought much to the surface, and with that, a more direct approach in negotiations. Suddenly, everything’s clear and you may not feel like holding back. The outcome of your current situation has a lot to do with … well, you. Perspective and the soft sciences meet rational thought and hard facts. Go for broke in romance and let the rest shake itself out.

 

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22-Dec 20

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

You can’t take back what you didn’t create in the first place. You’re going through an ultra-responsible phase with Saturn in your sign. Everything’s taking so long. With Neptune in square aspect, just when you think things are sorted, there’s some new scenario—or your plans dissolve. Physical reality can still be fun. The need for adjustment has become one for handling emotional surprises. Don’t worry about money. Like everything, it’ll show up when it’s time to come home.

 

CAPRICORN

Dec 21-Jan 19

♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣

You’ve experienced the highs of your visionary hopes and the depths of your thoughts. You’re able to keep going, but your energy is precious. Spend time restoring yourself this week so others can continue counting on you. You needn’t carry everyone’s burdens; cherry-pick your battles. Saturn in your solar twelfth house is preparing a path for laughter and ease. Don’t give up, and take as many breaks as you can without feeling guilty. The new life you are creating is on its way.

 

AQUARIUS

Jan 20-Feb 17

♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣

It’s all love and roses. You can make the impossible happen, but don’t go out on a limb. What you see as the end of the road is just a new beginning. Everything you’ve done has energy and thought behind it. You’re in your “happy birthday” zone. Let the light of your hopes and dreams fan out to financial prosperity. A partner may use a lot of your energy. Enjoy the perks but find time to rejuvenate on your own. You deserve to remember how fun you are.

 

PISCES

Feb 18-Mar 19

♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣

The stars are stacked in your favor—you just need to know how to tickle their fancy to release their gifts. Ask for what you’d like, and as your wishes arrive, expect to be busy putting them all in their proper place. Focus on healthy meals and supplements so your energy matches your imagination. A current tug-of-war has win-win potential. Give others the benefit of the doubt first, then leap to your well-earned achievement. Having fun in balance becomes an everyday reward.
