All Signs:
The Sun sits in steady and sensual Taurus, pulling our focus to issues about creature comforts, security, and our personal value systems. These next few weeks are an excellent time to take action in creating a more solid future. Consider what you want to invest in — be that with your hard earned cash, your emotional energy, or your precious time. Make it count!
As the spring season gains momentum and we prepare for summer (the Sun moves into Gemini on May 20) we’re like busy bees collecting ideas and experiences to make our lives that much sweeter. Playing with teams or participating in community and group events get us out of the house and out of our regular thinking habits.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Your energy is high and the pace of your days quickens now, Aries. You’re eager to get outside either through activity or meeting people with similar interests. Teaming up with others to collectively accomplish something is highky likely, even on a playful level. You’re feeling more impassioned about your beliefs now and you’re willing to go to great lengths to communicate this with others. If there’s anything you need to sell, teach, write or convey you can do this with gusto! Keep in mind that Mars still opposes your sign and you might be inclined to be a bit argumentative (eek!). On the other hand, if there’s something that you need to defend or protect (be that yourself or your money) this is an excellent time!Lucky Days:

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Happy Birthday my Taurus friends!Material rewards and financial opportunities find their way to your doorstep now, Taurus. You’ve established your staying power at the workplace and amongst your colleagues. Others see you as capable, reliable and hard working. Many of you will be asked to join a team or become a member of a new association. Big-ticket purchases are likely now. That can mean investing in you — such as education and training, or purchasing the right tools for the job. You’re taking yourself more seriously and you want to make sure you’re well equipped! Relationships are likely to feel a little bit more earnest now. For many Taureans, romantic connections are ready to move to a more meaningful level, you want to take all commitment sincerely.Lucky Days:

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
The Sun moves through your sign soon dear Gemini (Happy Birthday!). You energy starts to increase and you’re feeling more optimistic about life. You’re strong and you’re eager to act on your aspirations – excellent! It’s a time for being a little bit more selfish, and that’s okay. Give some thought to the life that you’re creating and ask questions such as: What do I value about the world around me? Who are the people that I value? What do I value about myself? It’s time to consider your path and what actions you need to take in order to further your progress. In the famous words of Mr. Spock and the Vulcan salute “live long and prosper” my friend!Lucky Days:

CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You may feel the need to go inward as your birthday approaches, Cancer. Emotions connected to past events find their ways into your waking moments. You’re reflecting on the various states of mind you’ve gone through in your life chapters, and seeing just how far you’ve come since then. In particular, your personal year is drawing to a close, and you’re reflecting on what you’ve accomplished and what you didn’t. Take some time to realign your aspirations and dreams for this next year ahead. Your new moon as a Cancer, will be on June 27th. This is the best time all year for you to articulate your goals and plant the seeds of your intentions. Birthday wishes to you!Lucky Days:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
It’s time to get out and play a little, Leo. Your desire to connect with like-minded souls draws you to some interesting places! New friends and acquaintances are made, your social circles are expanding — and with that, your attitude. You’re more curious about the lifestyles and habits of others. “What are they doing that’s different than me?” Engaging in social projects and group activities keep you motivated. Maybe it’s time to have a party! Humanitarian efforts and environmental causes might also pique your interest now. Why not lend some of you are Leo chutzpah to a cause that’s close to your heart? Amidst all the appointments and activities on your agenda be sure to carve out a little you time, you’re gonna be busy!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a good time to turn your attentions to your career and your public role in life, Virgo. You are taking strides to secure your reputation and solidify ties with colleagues and superiors. You are more in the limelight now so make the most of this. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not (the truth always comes out in the end). Just be who you are with a healthy respect for your own capabilities. If disputes should arise around money or property take a timeout to get centered about your personal value system. In fact, this is a very good time to make choices regarding your future wealth! You’re willing to work hard to see results now. (Hello, you’re a Virgo!)Lucky Days:

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Relationships may have been a little challenging recently, Libra. You may have needed to stick up for yourself (which is a good thing). However, by doing so you might have ticked a few people off! Your natural charm and diplomacy have probably come to your rescue a few times recently. As we move ahead in the spring season you will find that day-to-day relations get a lot easier across the board now (phew!). Resolutions and solutions are at your fingertips now. You’re able to maximize your contacts, getting doors to open for you. This is an excellent time for canvassing and fundraising. You can easily benefit from the wealth of others. Pleasurable social outings, intriguing conversations, and sweet flirtations are in the air.Lucky Days:

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a strong time for you Scorpio. You can greatly establish your power within a partnership, or within the team experience. Others are looking to you for wisdom and advice. Authority figures are likely to be pleased with you, however if you’re overly critical or arrogant right now you might undo all the hard work you’ve done this year! This is not the time to put yourself (or your work) before everyone else. If you do so, you may meet with a brick wall. Instead, look at where your current responsibilities are interconnected with those around you and work towards fortifying those bonds. On a lighter note, opportunities for short trips with friends, or even independent excursions are fun and uplifting!Lucky Days:

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Friends and partners invite you to see the world through their eyes, Sagittarius. You’re eager to learn more about the world around you — in particular, as it affects those closest to you. Old habits, interests and even hobbies that brought you comfort in the past may appeal again. Try to be mindful as to why you moved away from these interests in the first place. (Were these interests truly beneficial?) Diet and exercise as well as overall health and mental wellbeing are a focus now. You’re eager to create a better quality of life in your day-to-day routines. Don’t shy away from opportunities to meet new people or expand your networks. Interesting spiritual teachers are keen to meet you.Lucky Days:

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Obstacles and roadblocks begin to fall away now, Capricorn. You can work with the tides once again and business matters flow with ease. You need somewhere to channel your ambition, whether that be in the workplace or a project on your own time. There’s a lot of crackling, feisty energy coursing through you that needs an outlet. Personal relationships get more playful and enjoyable. This is also a good time to make any repairs to relationships if need be. When Mercury is retrograde in June be sure to dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s, communications (especially in the workplace) get easily muddled and confused. Use this time to connect with coworkers, bosses, or superiors you have histories with.Lucky Days:

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You can feel the ground beneath your feet, Aquarius and you’re feeling more secure about where you’re at! You’ve already taken some measures this year to ensure that your career and your work can grow. There’s satisfaction in the routine and seeing the traction that has already taken root. Your day-to-day job gets a boost this season. Opportunities to try your hand at new skill-sets, or meet some interesting mentors will present themselves. Others may want you to take on a leadership position; you might feel that you’re not ready for this, but it’s a good time to jump at the chance. You might even surprise yourself at how well you perform. Cut yourself some slack and take the leap!Lucky Days:

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Creative endeavors on the home front catch your attentions now, Pisces. Exciting projects, renovations and redecorating are all favored. Bust out your sketchbook and get to it. Healings at home or with family members are also possible now. You’re eager to understand the point of view of others and in-kind they’re eager to understand you. Being a sensitive Pisces, you might feel the powerful emotions of others now. Try not to let this discourage you from expressing your own emotional points of view. You have some meaningful insights that others can benefit from now. Investments with a partner or teaming up with family members on projects bring delights. There’s a lot of hustle and bustle around your nest at this time!Lucky Days:
