ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
If you are beginning to feel at loose ends about your day to day job, expect things to change things on your own steam and efforts and for the better. Aries begin to hate the daily grind. Okay – so what are you gonna do about it? The next few weeks can be a time of consolidation, change and monetary kaching, when it ultimately all pays off. And it will.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Your usual entertainments and ways of having fun are in for a change now as your interests shift. Taureans are compelled to try something new and exciting, even if they don’t want to at first. But surprise surprise: Suddenly your tastes expand and you find amusements in all sorts of new zesty and intriguing diversions. Hmmm anyone we know…?
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
This is the time to continue to contemplate your home environment. Whether you move, redecorate or renovate, you find that the usual set up will no longer do. Of course, this can also be a time of great family upheaval where long held dictates and rules disintegrate and collapse. Happily you have been waiting for this for a long time. It is all for the best, Gemini.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Although you pride yourself on your scrupulous and carefully rehearsed communications, you may become more of a motor mouth for the foreseeable future. Welcome the change, Cancer, and rev up your mouthy engine into overdrive. It is time to change the landscape as well as a few stubborn minds. If not you, then who? If not now then when?
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Your financial picture may go to the negative … and then back again Leo. Harness these ups and downs with sensible investments. Can you become the 1%’er mogul you were always meant to be? Use the next few weeks to consolidate your funds, avoid major risk and feather your nest for a cushy future. Then tell the boss where to get off.
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgos can only begin to feel the power rise within themselves as the weeks progress. Suddenly you are able to transform the way you approach others, how you look to the world and who you impress. In fact, expect your very appearance to change. Will you appear to be wiser, motivated and more in charge? Let’s not expect miracles, but yes.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
There may be a few hidden potholes on your personal highway now. Of course, Libras sometimes like it that way. Expect your life to be full of excitement and change where you find yourself on one path only to shift to another. It is all very exciting and energizing and surprising. Find ways to reduce stress so that you don’t totally burn out. Oh too late...
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Scorpios dip a toe into many new social pools now. But don’t just float by the wet bar waiting for someone to bubble forth. Move, shake and bake. Use all your charms to expand your range of acquaintances and increase your influence. Who knows what (or who) waits for you in the wings. Whatever it is will take you soaring to new heights.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Expect more changes in the way you approach your future plans over the next few weeks. Sagittarians find that they boldly set off on one course only to dramatically change direction because of forces beyond their control. Change is good, or so I am told. The trick is to not lose your footing. Keep your eye on the ultimate prize. Yes, a cushy retirement.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Although you are happier at home or in familiar territory, this week not only tempts you into long, adventuresome jaunts, it practically compels you to do so. Expand your horizons and your tastes. Look for your bucket of gold at the end of the rainbow. Oh, there is no gold? Well there are certainly other riches there so don’t be dissuaded or discouraged, Capricorn.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
A certain love entanglement may help grease your wheels to success. In fact, your sex life not only undergoes a dramatic change in taste, it also influences other areas of your life for the better. Does this mean that Aquarians should be particularly mercenary in their intimate liaisons for the next few weeks? Let’s hope not but why change a pattern?
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
There will be something transformative happening in any close relationship. Pisces might be expected to go out of their way or compromise their long strongly held beliefs for the sake of domestic harmony. Something, somewhere, at some time, will break. Don’t hold on to those who hold you down. Hold on to those who carry you up and over.
