Aries (March 21-April 19)

Listen up! You will need more sleep this month for two reasons: For starters, symbolically, the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it can get all year and the Sun represents your energy. This means your energy will be flagging. In addition, your ruler fiery Mars is in your sign now going retrograde. This is unusual. Mars has not been retrograde in your sign since 1988! Therefore, take care of yourself. Don’t be cocky or overconfident. Take it easy and be kind to yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This month is a mixed bag. You will accomplish a lot because you’re motivated to be productive, efficient and effective! You will also be more aware of your health. However, Mars is retrograde in a hidden part of your chart, which might trigger feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. It might trick you into being your own worst enemy. You might self-sabotage yourself. (This influence has not occurred since 1988.) By reading this, at least you will be aware of its possibilities.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This month, the Sun is in the most fun-loving, playful part of your chart! It’s the perfect time for a vacation. Great time to enjoy sports events and playful activities with children as well as having fun exploring the arts, especially opportunities to express your creative talents. Romance will flourish and existing relationships will be more attentive and encouraging. “Moi?” “Oui!” However, tread carefully with friends. You might encounter something unexpected. Mars retrograde might trip you up.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re a nester, and this month you feel cozy and comfortable at home. You might tackle some repairs. However, whereas before, you felt gungho about a particular project – now – you’re not so sure? Should you keep on track with your ideas or should you wait and rethink things? Well, as my mother always said, “It never hurts to give anything a sober, second thought.” (She was a practical gal with a sweet tooth, which meant we had two desserts a day! Lunch and dinner.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This month makes big demands on your time. (Oh yeah!) Suddenly, short trips, errands, appointments, increased reading, writing and studying are just some things that are creating your busy schedule. Fortunately, fair Venus is in Leo, and this makes you charming and diplomatic. Whatever you have to do, you will do with aplomb. Nevertheless, retrograde Mars might make you question your beliefs, question your politics and question your faith in something? Relax, it’s temporary.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This month you’re thinking more about money, possessions, assets and your personal values. What really matters to you? You have to know what matters before you make important decisions. (Many people don’t know what really matters until they lose it.) Expect to come up with some clever moneymaking ideas in the next few weeks. Enjoy time spent in solitude. However, disagreements about shared property and inheritances might force you to rethink things.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is your month! The Sun is in your sign giving you a chance to replenish yourself! The Sun in your sign will also attract people and favourable situations to you. Mercury is in your sign as well and this makes you chatty and eager to talk to others. Note: Mars is now retrograde opposite your sign. Whereas before, you were quick to be annoyed with someone, now you might reassess things and see those who are close to you with more clarity.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your personal year is ending. Ideally, take some time for yourself to pull your act together and do some navel gazing. Think about goals for your new year ahead because goals help to keep you on track and they give you more clarity in decision-making in the future. They also give you a sense of purpose. Meanwhile, you might doubt your ability at work? You might have some health issues that worry you? These doubts are temporary. Believe in yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This month everyone wants you on their team! You’ll enjoy this friendly, popularity, especially because you might be hanging out with younger people more than usual. Many of you have a chance to travel for pleasure (surprisingly). However, romance and the entertainment world might be perplexing. Something that you thought was a sure thing now looks ‘not so sure’. Relax because by January everything will fall into place.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This month everyone’s impressed with you, especially bosses, parents and teachers (It’s smoke and mirrors. You don’t have to do anything special.) What an advantage! This is obviously the time to make your pitch and do what you can to get what you want. It’s a powerful month! Not only that, other sources will help you. It’s a good time to ask for a loan or mortgage. The one area that is perplexing and challenging is your home and family life. Be as creative and skilful to keep things cooking on all four burners.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This might be a frustrating time because you want to get outta Dodge. You want to travel and explore the world. However, most of you cannot do this. Therefore, you must think of ways to satisfy your urge and learn something fresh and exciting. Can you take a course? Learn a new language? Talk to people from other backgrounds Note: You might fear being misunderstood. You might hesitate to make your case. You might have selfdoubt.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This month is more intense and passionate! The underlying theme will be one of selfimprovement. Why not be the best that you can be? Why be less? Because you will feel very much alive in the next few weeks, you might want to do some psychological self-exploration, or you might meet someone who will help you do this. Financial matters regarding shared property and inheritances will be a focus. Guard against getting stalled in the water with earning money. Keep busy!
