Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It’s your turn to energize and recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You attract people and fortunate circumstances. Venus paves the way for friendships and warm partnerships. Since Venus is all about fun and pleasure, you’ll want to get away on a vacation and party! This is the time to look in the mirror and assess your image. What can you do to look better? You will go after what you want. Good time for physical exercise. (“Hut two, three, four!”) www.georgianicols.com

(May 21-June 20)
Two different influences are at play this month. The Sun, Venus

and Mars are hiding in your chart, which makes you want to be low-key and work behind the scenes or work alone. You’re hatching secret plans. Indeed, the coming month is an excellent time to strategize what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be. Why not write down some goals? Jupiter boosts your confidence and draws people and resources to you plus deepens the spiritual dimension of your life.
Cancer
(June 21-July 22)
This month is about groups and friends. Accept invitations, join clubs and schmooze with everyone. Study your friends because they are a reflection of who you are. Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Work with others because team efforts will pay off. Competition with someone is likely (could be sports competitions). Meanwhile, a friend might become a lover. Talk about your future goals to others because they can help you. Jupiter will soon enter your sign heralding a fantastic year ahead!
Leo
(July 23-Aug. 22)
A bundle of planets is at the top of your chart acting like a spotlight on you. People notice you! Furthermore, this lighting

is flattering, so everyone thinks you’re the cat’s meow. Mars arouses your ambition making you want to achieve; it also makes you independent! You’re not a team player now, you want to be your own boss and you want credit for what you do. Meanwhile, fair Venus might attract someone older or richer to you in a romantic sense. “Lighting is everything.”

Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You’re attracted to the arts and beautiful places this month. Satisfy your interest in beauty by visiting beautiful parks. Drive or hike through pristine nature. Visit museums, art galleries and gorgeous architectural buildings. Study the handicrafts and artwork of other cultures. You might even strike up a romance with someone who is “different.” You have lots of energy to learn new things and meet people from other cultures. You want to grab life by the throat because you don’t want anything to pass you by. Travel will delight you. “All aboard!”

10am - 3pm
The Sun, Venus and Mars now heighten your interest in shared property, inheritances and anything you own jointly with others, which is why you’ll focus on taxes and debt. You want to reduce debt, but you might dispute the ownership of something or the boundaries of shared property. Others might be generous to you. For sure, your sex drive is pumped! Sexual relationships that are intense will attract you. Meanwhile, your desire to travel is still there and you continue to have opportunities to explore in publishing, the media, medicine and the law.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Life is going to be getting better when Jupiter enters Cancer (your fellow water sign) at the end of June to stay for a year. This is highly fortunate for you. Meanwhile, you’re dealing with three planets opposing your sign: the Sun, Venus and Mars drawing your focus on partnerships and close friendships. The Sun and Venus will warm these friendships and even attract new ones, but Mars creates problems, disputes and competition. Oh well. Be honest with friends. Lay your cards on the table. You have a strong year ahead.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
After enjoying a playful vacation, you’re ready to get better organized. It’s time. In fact, you’re on such a kick, you want to turn over a new leaf to organize your home and personal life as well as your job and you’re your health! This is why you’re jogging, biking, hiking and pumping iron. Romance with a co-worker plus disputes are likely. Something is almost completed and you feel impatient to see it done. You take great pride in whatever you accomplish now, and you want the credit! Romance and love affairs are blessed. Go do that voodoo that you do so well.
Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Aquarius
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
A delightful month ahead promises a chance to get out and have a good time. You want the freedom to express yourself and do your own thing. You feel lighter and more playful. In fact, many will be involved with children. Grab every chance to enjoy the arts or express your own creative talents. One reason you’re happy is romantic relationships are favoured. Your sex drive is strong. You’re relaxed and feel no need to pretend to be what you are not. Sports (especially competitive) will amuse you. You want to kick up your heels, flirt and have fun!
Home, family, and real-estate matters are your focus now. Some will cocoon at home, others will be redecorate or renovate. Visiting guests might also be why there’s increased activity and chaos at home. Family squabbles might break out. Yet, ironically, good feelings within the family abound as well. Relations with parents will be challenging. (That frustrating family roller coaster.) Ah yes, your hard drive is full and your server is slow but real-estate opportunities look good.
Pisces
(Feb. 19-March 20)
All this hustle and bustle has arrived because the pace of your days is accelerating with short trips, To Do lists, increased reading and writing and interaction with siblings. You’re singing “On the Road Again.” You’re talking to everyone because you need to communicate. Expect to notice the beauty is in your daily surroundings plus love and affection. (This is all revealing, like a little epiphany about your everyday world.) It makes you want to share your views with others.
Aries
(March 21-April 19)
This month activates financial matters, cash flow and your possessions. This month you will try to organize, maintain and repair things to establish better control over your life through what you own. On top of this, you will have the power to attract money to you. (Yes!) This means you will buy beautiful treasures, perhaps something you want to show off. Your focus on money and possessions might be so strong that you will argue with others but you will defend your values.
