All Signs
This week, the Sun shifts from Capricorn into Aquarius. That's a major change of focus! Capricorn is very much about status quo, security, the government, being politically correct, and not getting caught. Aquarius is rebellious, original, innovative, stubborn, and probably wants to get caught to call attention to injustice, and at the same time, show how easy it is to get outta jail. (Hey, I'm kidding.) But there's an element of truth to the outrageous quality of Aquarius -- a sign that is actually genius-like. Ah yes, Aquarius swings between genius and wacky. (Think Emmett 'Doc' Brown in Back to the Future.) So we'll all have a touch of wild energy during the next month. We'll feel more original, more inventive, and ready to create something - why? Because it isn't there.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The next six weeks are going to be popular for you. Everyone wants to see your face. Groups, clubs, and professional organizations might approach you for membership, or urge you to join. Ditto for classes and other get-togethers. Many of you will meet or become involved with artists. Some of you will also meet a friend who could become a lover. (Actually, an existing friend could become a lover -- let's not be fussy.) Because your desire nature is turned on, your creative vibes are hot, along with your sex drive! Woo, woo! Romantic sex is a natural form of self-expression for you. ("Let's play!") Focus on your goals this month. Write down what you want to achieve in the next five years.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The Sun is now at high noon in your chart, shining down on you like a brilliant spotlight. This means in the next six weeks, people, especially influential people like bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police, will notice you more than usual. (Note the police are watching.) Furthermore, you've got great lighting! Therefore, people think you're super capable and competent, which is why you'll be asked to take on increased responsibilities. Say yes -- you'll shine! In particular, people want your creative or artistic input on something. Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, romance with a boss or someone older, or richer, or more worldly might start to flower. (Let's hope this means a cruise somewhere.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
"Oh to be in England, now that April's there." Yes it's January, but this is how you feel. You need to escape! You want a change of scenery. Travel for pleasure would be perfect in the next month. Learning just for learning's sake also appeals. This is because you want both physical and mental adventure. (A little bored, are we?) Make plans now, and you will travel in April! Two favourable influences: you can make money through publishing, the media, medicine, the law, and anything with higher education. (Definitely.) Or -- some of you will strike up a romance with someone from another culture, or a different background, or a distant place. Hmmm, verrrry interrrresting.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
There's a strong emphasis on both your Money Houses in your chart, dear Cancer. Personally, you're working hard to earn money because for various reasons, (probably travel related as well as something to do with home improvements) you're spending your money! Perhaps this is why the celestial heavens so strongly focus on shared property, debt, taxes, and anything to do with the money and resources of others, especially partners and close friends. The good news is gifts and goodies can come to you now. Favours, cash, and the use of what other people own might materialize. Meanwhile, your gonads are in overdrive. Intimacy is ever so sweet, and dare we say -- transcendent? (We did.) Oh my.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A very interesting dynamic is taking place right now between Leo and Aquarius. Naturally, fiery Mars is still in your sign revving your engines, giving you tons of energy, enthusiasm, and get up and go. You're on a tear! For the next month, however, both Venus and the Sun directly oppose you, which totally draws your attention to partnerships and close friendships. You cannot ignore this, nor would you want to. Take advantage of this placement of fair Venus. This means you can mend broken fences, and improve all your relationships, even with enemies! Now is the time to bury the hatchet. Even legal decisions will be settled. In a way, this month is a turning point for you. One of the better ones! Things are reaching a climax.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The next six weeks will be unusually rewarding for you because you will accomplish a tremendous amount. Why? Because not only do you have the motivation to do so, you have the energy and follow-through to guarantee that it will happen. (Impressive.) Suddenly, you're keen to be a better organized at home and at work. You want everything to snap into place. You want to be able to reach out and put your hand on whatever you need. Voila! This kind of superb organization gives you a warm feeling in your tummy. Take this opportunity to redecorate your workspace. Make things look better. A raise, praise, and positive feedback from others will make your day.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are the big winner in the month ahead. It's fun city for your sign! Accept all invitations, and extend a few yourself. (Ideally, you should be on vacation, and not even reading this column.) Plan for a fun getaway! Romance, love affairs, parties, and social occasions will please you. Anything to do with sports is a big plus as well. Playful times with children are rewarding. This can also be an interesting time to explore financial speculation. Your creativity is very hot right now. You see what you are capable of, and you love it! (Your bathroom mirror is covered in kisses.) Continue with minor repairs at home. Putter, putter.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Home, family, and your domestic scene now have your total attention. Family issues are significant, perhaps dealing with a parent. This is a good time for family businesses. It's also a good time to focus on real estate issues. (By "good time", I mean the next six weeks.) Act on your urge to redecorate and tweak things at home, or make them look more attractive because quite likely, you'll be entertaining at home in the next month. It's a warm, bonding time for family. Time to get out grandma's fudge recipe. Make popcorn. Watch movies. Sit around the fire. Alphabetize your blessings.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Busy you! You are pulled in all directions due to short trips, running around doing errands, increased reading, writing, and studying, buying and selling, and in general, talking to everyone! Take a breath. Fortunately, fair Venus paves the way for all your communications with others, especially siblings. Everything is warm and cozy. In fact, some of you will make money from writing or speaking. If you really open your eyes, you might be pleasantly surprised at how much beauty there is in your daily surroundings. It's so easy to miss, isn't it? We always think we 'see' -- but we don't. Not unless we have really good glasses, better yet, with designer frames. (I recently got such good glasses, I can now perform surgery.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You're focused on money. Ka-ching! This could be due to a job promotion, or a change of jobs, or a way to see how to make money on the side. Whatever the cause, you're optimistic about future finances. And well you should be. After all, this year is the beginning of a five-year roll of success because it's finally your time of harvest! Expect to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones in the next month. Hopefully, you can also promote your earnings or income during this time as well. Do your best to settle disputes about shared property. They can be such a bore.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Happy birthday! Both the Sun and fair Venus are in your sign attracting opportunities and influential people to you. Make the most of this! Milk it for all it's worth. You need all this wonderful, warm light because relations with partners and close friends have been frigid! Brrrr. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I take that back. More chocolate? While Mars is opposite your sign, it's easy be intolerant and impatient with others. You, the defender of justice. You, the fair-minded, reformer of global conditions. It's not your nature to be petty! But tight underwear can do this to a person. Take the high road. We're all in this Big Soup together.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Because your birthday is a mere month away, you can best use this time to lurk in the background, and ponder your coming year ahead. This is going to be one of the best years you had in over a decade. Factoid. Don't just let it "happen" to you. ("It was terrific! Everybody bought me a beer, and then I won three months of free cat food!") Instead, strategize what you want to achieve. Be specific. Lord knows, you're willing to work hard. Hot tip: in about five years, you will be enjoying a marvelous career peak. Much of what happens then, depends on how you play your cards this year. (But you know this.)
