All Signs
Some people wonder which astrological sign to read if they're on the "edge". (The cusp.) And while it's true that reading your Sun sign and your Rising Sign is appropriate, it's also not inappropriate to read all 12 signs! Especially when reading a daily horoscope. We're all in this Big Soup together. To varying degrees, we each have all 12 signs within us. The main thing to know is the general astrological forecast for that day, week or month. Conflicting messages make sense because we all have our contradictions. We're not simple, little cookie-cutter cutouts. Although they say there are only two kinds of people: those who divide everyone into two categories and those who don't. (That's easy to understand if you don't think about it.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Once a year you experience a wonderful, fun filled, playful month where your creative talents literally bubble forth. That time has arrived. Not only will you find opportunities to express yourself in an artistic way (all Aries are creative artisans) - you'll also have wonderful opportunities to explore titillating flirtations and perhaps even fall in love. (I'm not making this up.) The Sun, Mercury and Mars all combine now to urge you to have fun! Let it all hang out. You can't be a busy, worker bee forever. It's not selfish if you just want to do your own thing. Party, enjoy playful times with children, and go on a vacation if you can. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The time has come the walrus said to speak of many things, of salesmanship and - oops. The time has definitely come for you to address home, family and real estate in a proactive way. Don't put things off any longer. Clear up foggy, confusing situations. Make serious plans, and establish your priorities. Tackle repairs and make commitments to your home scene; or alternatively, make plans to move. Talk to family members, and state your case. Define your boundaries. You're practical and easy going when others are aboveboard and decent. (Wise ones keep you as a friend.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Time to change channels. (Aren't you the one with the remote?) Your daily tempo will pick up over the next month. The pace will quicken as you try to jam more things into each day: conversations with siblings, relatives and neighbors; short trips; increased reading and writing; increased coursework and study; more shopping, and negotiating with various people. In other words, you're out there -- big-time. Gas up the car. Charge your cell. Do your laundry. Get organized so you can go flat out to meet your obligations and the expectations of others all around you. Yes! You're surrounded. Give up. Come out with your daytimer in the air.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You have a lovely month ahead. There's one thing you share with Taurus - you both have a practical relationship with money. That's why you'll love the next 5-6 weeks. You're going to focus on better ways of earning money, better ways of spending money, as well as have fun getting cherry bargains. Whee! You will score! Most of this is due to your motivation, which is strong now. Not only are you focused and inspired, right now your mind is also razor-sharp when it comes cash and finances. Of course, you love a bargain. But it's not the money (although the money is nice.) You like to be clever about getting a great value. And you hate being taken advantage of -- even though you'll help a friend in need.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Tra la tra la! It's finally your turn to trip through the light fantastic. The Sun, Mercury and Mars are in Leo. And the King is in his counting house counting out his money. (Is there any left?) Recently (and certainly in the future) most of you have enhanced your wealth, your earnings, your assets, your possessions, and even your self-image i.e. your sense of who you are. It's very, very positive. It's also just what you need in this period of enormous transition. There's always an element of uncertainty during change and giving up things. The tangible perks and goodies you enjoy now can help offset the challenges of leaping into the air and wondering if you'll land safely.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
In many respects, you need to lie in the weeds. Keep a low profile. Protect your privacy. You're dealing with a lot of personal stuff. You might also be extra busy dealing with the government or large institutions. No matter how much life seems to be a struggle at the moment, you're under the divine protection of Jupiter in your sign for the rest of the summer, and fair Venus in a strong position of the top of your chart. Regardless of what you do to earn your money, you're involved in artistic matters such as redecorating, design, layout work or schmoozey PR stuff. Some of you are falling in love with your boss or someone older with gold plastic. (The best laboursaving device is always a rich partner.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your social life is picking up. Friends, clubs and organizations all expect to see your face. Invitations and requests are pouring in now, and it will stay this way for the next six weeks. (At least.) Try your best to respond to these requests. Others want to see you, and they want your participation. In turn, you can benefit by discussing your long-term goals with others. Their feedback will be helpful. Opportunities continue to come your way in areas connected with travel, education, publishing, the law and medicine. Sometimes you like to hide. At other times, you're burning the candle at both ends. I suggest you find a place that sells spare wicks.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You have a super-powerful month ahead. Four planets are at the top of your chart. (This is literally a summit conference.) Naturally, all this activity attracts attention to you. VIPs, bosses, teachers and parents are in your face but pleasantly so for the most part. People want to know what you have to say. They're ready to take their cue from you. This puts you in a position of power and influence whether you want it or not. With power comes responsibility because you have the ability to affect the lives of others. Expect to be in the limelight for some reason. You're high viz this month and next. (Get some sexy clothes so that you look like the hot stuff you really are.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Different areas of your life are blowing hot and cold. Your career looks swell. Your public reputation is strong. In the next six weeks, you can expect more opportunities to travel or expand your education. Publishing, the media, law and medicine look great too. In other words, your professional and personal lives are humming. Partnerships and personal relationships are quite another thing. Here you feel obsessed, compulsive and trapped in passionate attractions or power struggles or both! Oy vay. Remember to take the high road. Resist the temptation to manipulate someone through guilt or jealousy. And don't let anyone do this to you. You have the power to choose how to respond to any situation.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Many of you have been doing some "work" on yourselves. Your desire to improve yourself or become a better person is strong right now. That's why you're doing a lot of deep thinking and delving into self-help situations and consciousness expanding discussions with others. (Or talking to yourself in the mirror.) At a munday level, you have to wrap up red tape details connected with insurance, debts, taxes, inheritances and wills. One of these areas could trigger a dispute with someone. If so, figure out what your own objectives are and stick to that. Don't go for it all; just go for what you want. Let go of the rest.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Some of your closest relationships (with partners and friends) are suddenly unbelievably intense right now. This could be good or this could be not so good. Obsession can keep you focused or it can blind you. Whether you know it or not, you're more testy with others. Mars opposite your sign encourages you to challenge and disagree with people. You want to win. You don't want to concede anything. This certainly makes for intense relations! However, if you observe your interactions, you can learn a lot about yourself in the next few weeks. Expect some contradictions. (Esher: "I think it's in my basement -- let me go upstairs and check.")
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Many of you have been partying and enjoying yourselves lately. Romance has been exciting too. This doesn't have to stop, but you'll certainly start to work harder in the next month. For different reasons, you're gung ho to get organized at work and at home. You're on a self-improvement kick, so your ambition to improve things will encompass your health as well. Domestic and family relationships are intense, however. Either you're forcing somebody to do something or vice versa. Your best option is to lighten up. Meanwhile, fun and romance can continue. Isn't it fortunate that celibacy isn't hereditary?
