ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Whatever has been gathering dust on your desk is due for a dust-up, Aries. There are too many things going on that seem to just swirl and swirl around and don’t get anywhere. Tackle all projects and get them started or completed. That means that you can no longer put off until tomorrow what you can finally get done today.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
There may be a lot of fun plans on your to-do list but nothing will actually happen until you make it so, Taurus. Try not to sit back and continue to fine tune your ultimate plans. Sometimes just getting it started will reveal logistical solutions to invite lists, activities and other creative aspects that might be holding you up.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Family reunions may have been on the books for months with no date yet set. Don’t wait too long, Gemini. Round up assorted groups and find ways to bring folks together. You can zoom it or room it but don’t procrastinate. Also attend to long awaited home improvement projects. You never know how great until you start.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
While you have some wonderful ideas, just having them ruminate in your head and not doing anything more with them won’t get you anywhere, Cancer. Instead, resolve to share your opinions with the right groups or among powerful people and see how far you can take them. You are creative and visionary. Let the world know.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Money will be a big focus in your life now, Leo. But just thinking about what you want to do with it with actually doing anything with it is just an empty exercise. Maybe you have been saving for something that you deeply want. Maybe you have some great ideas for investing. Whatever it is, take some baby steps in that direction.
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
As much as you may want to sit back and take in the scene, there will be more opportunities than ever to command the stage. So allow yourself the freedom to do, Virgo. Show the crowds how impressive you are and get some of your long considered plans on the top of everyone’s list. This is the time to make real progress.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Whatever gets into your head, either though meditation or intuition may just be the cosmos revealing your next big step. Pull back, Libra, and see what can happen when you go with your gut after very careful consideration. Expand your vision through an array of new age disciplines. It will strengthen your third eye.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Whatever you may have been planning with your friends, it is time to put all of your thoughts into action, Scorpio. There are good times to be had and new adventures to explore. Join clubs, enter contests, get yourself out there and expand your social circle. You never know who you will meet who will change your life.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Your long term plans have been just that, Sagittarius. Just plans. Now you must take the next step and implement some if not all of them and see how far you can go. The planets give you the courage and the oomph to launch some fairly large projects. Maybe your career needs a jolt or a change in direction. Find out what is what now.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
You are anxious for adventure, Capricorn, and now is the time to take the first step. Get out of your hum drum routine and see what the world has to offer. If time and money are tight, find places close to home where you can recharge, see new things and meet now and exotic people. The world calls you. Please answer.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
If you have had a hankering for a certain special someone, might this be a good time to make your feelings known, Aquarius? If so see what steps will be most successful and take a calculated risk. You are full of love and life. It might be a good idea to reveal some of that passion. You never know what and who can happen.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Certain relationships may need a bit of a jolt so they can progress, Pisces. Thinking about what makes you happy and connected is fine. But just thinking about it doesn’t change the dynamic. See where some action can improve a situation and make it closer. Now is the time to make a real difference in your life and in the life of another.
