Aries (March 21-April 19) This month the Sun is in one of your fellow Fire Signs giving you a lovely boost of energy! Your choices are attractive and youíre more likely able to do whatever you want. Your life will hum along more smoothly! Romance will shine. Vacations will appeal. Interactions with children will delight. Without question, you are entering a window of enjoyment and fun stimulation. Many options will appear that give you chances to party and socialize and express your creative talents. This is your chance to be yourself. Taurus (April 20-May 20) This month, you might be at cross purposes with someone. Expect to be more involved with a parent and have a stronger focus on family. Privately, you want to feel that whatever youíre doing is worthwhile. You might be annoyed with anyone who gets in the way of your ability to do this. You will also welcome a chance to go off by yourself to enjoy some solitude. Something will trigger childhood memories for you, making this a good time to benefit from counselling. (ìJust relax. Tell me about your first bank account.î) Gemini (May 21-June 20) This is a favourable month for you! You have a stronger interest in daily contacts, neighbours and relatives plus groups. You will want to socialize more than usual! You might also want to take up a new study or learn something

new, which is something you adore doing. This new energy will also accelerate your daily tempo because you will be more active and involved with doing things that are new and different. Itís a great time for a vacation. Itís also great time for heart-to-heart discussions. Cancer (June 21-July 22) By nature, you are frugal. You like a bargain and get good value youíre never casual about money. This month, your focus on money will be stronger. You will give more thought to cash flow, earnings and budgeting for the future. While doing so, you will also take a more serious look at your possessions and examine whether or not they serve your needs or whether you are a slave to them! The bottom line is this: You want to feel that you are exerting more control over your life through what you own and your assets in general. Youíre taking stock. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Ta da! This month the Sun is in your sign giving you a marvellous boost of energy! Because this occurs only once a year, make the most of it. This is the beginning of your personal year, which makes it the perfect time to define some goals. If you didnít do this last month ñ do this now because goals help you achieve things. They give you a sense of purpose. They keep you on track. And they make future decision-making easier. Of course, all Leo knows there are two rules for success: (1) Donít tell everything you know. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Itís time to cast a glance back over your shoulder. How well are you doing at the art of living? After you make some

important observations (and you are a keen observer), ask yourself how you want your year ahead to be different from last year? Where do you want to make improvements? What do you want to avoid? If you want to evaluate yourself, you have to do so with complete honesty. Anything you refuse to face will continue to be part of your unconscious, hence, your future. What does your report card look like? Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Youíre the most social sign in the zodiac. Not only do you enjoy the company of others, you need someone on the other end of your teeter-totter. You will love this month because youíll be more involved with friends and groups. You might be elected to office or thrust in a leadership position. This is a good time to see how well you have succeeded in doing what youíre doing and also where you have not succeeded. Examine your friends. Do your friends allow you to be exactly who you are. Do you hang out with quality people? Think about this. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) This month the Sun is at the top of your chart. (Happens only once a year.) This means you are cast in a flattering spotlight that makes you look good to others, especially bosses. Theyíre impressed! Even if you donít do anything special. (Good lighting is everything.) Admittedly, you will encounter challenges and find yourself at cross purposes with some people, especially bosses and parents. Work with this as skilfully as you can. Think about your career and your standing in the community. Are you going in the direction you want to go? Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Youíre entering a delightful month! Life will hum along more easily. This is an excellent time to firm up affairs and get your ducks in a row. Travel plans will be important. You might be more involved with a foreign country. Some of you will also be more involved with higher education, the law and medicine. Itís a good time to take stock and examine what has been working out and what is not working out

in order to figure out what it is worth saving for the future. Meanwhile, some will have a romance with a boss. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Two influences are at play this month. Travel and a chance to expand your horizons will please you. You will enjoy art exhibits, long pleasurable trips, concerts and anything that is culturally enriching. However, something else will make you more in touch with your personal self. You might notice strong compulsions arising within you. You might be concerned about finances and anything you own jointly with someone else, especially loans and mortgages. A dispute might arise. (Within weeks, this dispute will subside.) Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) This month the Sun is opposite your sign. (Happens once a year.) If you look at your chart, symbolically, the Sun is now as far away from you as it can get all year, which means you will need more sleep, because the Sun represents your energy. (Go to bed.) However, this polarized position also means that itís time to bring your affairs to a climax. Admittedly, you might encounter opposition from others, especially superiors or people in authority. This is the best time all year to examine your closest relationships and more accurately see your role in them. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Ironically, while many signs are gearing up to play and explore vacations and creative outlets, you are getting ready to work hard and get better organized this month. You want to work smart and get results for your efforts. This desire to be on top of things will include not only your work, but also embrace your respect for your own health. Basically, you want to strive to make every action count in your personal and your professional life. This is why you might stop some bad habits and encourage healthier ones. Why not be the best version of yourself that you can possibly be? www.georgianicols.com
