Mars retrogrades in Aquarius and sets off some out of control energies that are bound to get us into trouble. Uh oh. Our small actions suddenly become toxic weapons. Will you be around to clean up the fallout?

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Your social life may become one date too many now. Is the world turning too fast for your taste? Blame the over revving energy on your need to connect which drives the masses to your door in droves. Aries become popularity plus personified but if you feel like you just want to be alone, don’t feel guilty. You are bound to trod on a few insteps if you keep up the rapid pace.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Try to prevent some form of a professional to-do. You feel pushed to the corporate extreme and believe that you are not getting the recognition or credit you deserve. This may be true, Taurus, but manage and control your complaints and reduce your volume. You will be given the chance to make a solid impression on the bosses. But it may get flushed.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
This is the time for relaxing vacations but Geminis may find that the fates pack a powerful, decidedly unrelaxing punch to any far flung getaway plan. You may overdo or find that the place you discovered to unwind, winds you up. How does a week lounging on a demolition site sound? My advice; find relaxing interludes unplanned and much closer to home.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Cancers are burning with desire. Romance piques your taste buds and sets your ardor ablaze. But are you too hot to handle? Before you show them your goods make sure that it is good enough. There is nothing more disappointing than a promise that is bigger than the actual delivery. By the end of August though you will over deliver!
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
If you feel like relationships are not measuring up, you may be tempted to take drastic action. Leos may feel that their good nature is being taken for granted and are apt to rebel. Swallow your bile. This is not the time to assess the situation dispassionately. Use this time to accentuate the positive and dive into pleasant areas. No names please!
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgos are whirlwinds at work. You are a tireless motivator and a worker bee. But as you whip the air into a tornado, take an inventory of what you have actually accomplished. Are you just moving the dust around and generally pissing your colleagues off? You are a “can do” type of person. Now please just do it somewhere else.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Bring out the party whips and whip up a good time now. Libras are sizzle on the steak most times and now you are on the verge of burning your beef tips. Pleasant pastimes can go to extremes and light hearted fun can take on an intense and possibly unfun, demeanor. Is that the way that you like it anyway? If so, pack a fire extinguisher, just in case.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
There is no place like home, especially now when your home life can be turned inside out. A new broom not only sweeps clean, it vacuums the paint off the walls. Don’t do any massive renovations, Scorpio, since you might not know when enough is enough. It is a good time to consolidate and enjoy your surroundings just the way they are. Just like some people...
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
A whisper becomes a shout and brings out the boom box speakers. Sagittarians should be especially careful of what they say and how they say it for the next few weeks. You really have no idea how much your words will impact people and events. You can change the landscape. Shucks! It is a shame the midterm elections are in November.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
All that glitters is not gold and all that is not gold can throw off a pretty damned good impression of it. Capricorns are chasing the pot at the end of the rainbow only to find that it is full of mirrors. You are convinced that there is a big payoff at the end of the climb. However the secret is to value the pleasant ride on the rainbow itself.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Any first moves you make now will be memorable ones for better or worse. Aquarians are usually forces of change and now you find that even a glance can produce impactful results. But are they the results that you want? Sit tight while events unfold and stick with the tried and true, at least until you sufficiently test the waters for your big splash.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Pisces smell a rat. Heck, they smell a nest of nasty, skulking rats that need to be disposed of yesterday! You rush to bring out heavy armor and roll out tanks as you are ready, able and willing to take action. But stop, look and listen. The rustling you hear behind the walls may just be the wind. Control your angst, buy a piece of cheese and wait.
