Aries – (March 20 – April 19) It’s time to look at new ways of earning money. Old sources have run their course, but new and exciting transitions are developing. Mars moves into Leo, a fire sign more compatible with your sun sign, Aries. Here the warrior planet opens up your 5th house of creativity and play, inviting you to peruse that dream of marketing your original project. You were SO ready for a change, anyway. This season is about developing your skills and talents, and fulfilling the promises of self determination. A pleasant surprise comes on the 21st when you are recognized for good deeds done long ago.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20) This is an amazing month for you, Taurus, but some things must first transform. Issues around money and self esteem are on fire, and you probably have come to view an old friend in a new light. Keep wonder and beauty at the core of your world, and leave decaying leaves to the world of salamanders. Maintain diligence in your body-mind connection; dwelling on the past right now has a detrimental affect on your physical strength. The powerful New Moon of May 5th in Taurus signals a season of major new beginnings- proceed accordingly. Be open to new acquaintances for the Full Moon – look your best and expect a wonder.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20) Monitor your tendency to see the cup as half empty instead of half full in the first part of this month. Every time your mind flips into ‘grim analysis’ mode, just take a deep breath, and clear the screen. Instead, get organized and clean up old projects. Friends are in need of your good advice! You do need to maintain clarity, because your ruling planet Mercury moves into retrograde motion on the 26th. Initiating in Gemini, this one is sure to affect you; tend to those nagging computer problems and/or legal issues by the 23rd.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21) At least you know where you stand now, Cancer. Many questions have been answered; unresolved situations – resolved. Issues lingering from as long ago as last November are put to rest. And, yes, you did have some latent aggression which impacted the situation – but it had to be worked out. The moon enters your sign on May 8th, a day that Vedic astrology designates as ‘Akshaya Tritiya’, one of the most auspicious days of the year. Take heed, because a great benefactor has been patiently waiting for you to adjust your attitude. Ask for guidance, and aim for clarity; both are yours for the bidding.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22) Mars enters your sign on May 9th, and stays in Leo until early July! The warrior planet of energy and forward motion lends assistance in just the right time and way. What perfect timing; just when you are in need of super hero stamina and strength. The notion of forward motion is critical. You’ve been working out old stuff for months, now. The Full Moon of May 19th at 29º Scorpio is the perfect time to bury that old thing. With both Neptune and Mercury stationing into retrograde motion on the 26th, it’s not exactly a fresh start, but it’s your best shot at creating a different point of view.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22) YSaturn may not be lauded as a ‘giver of gifts’, but it does bring on just and earned rewards. You’ve paid your dues, and now it’s time to – keep on working. Yes, there is much to accomplish yet, but why not take advantage of the stellar planetary line-up in earth signs. Jupiter in Capricorn, Saturn in Virgo, and Venus in Taurus until the 24th makes this a season of fertility and flowers. Furthermore, the New Moon in Taurus accentuates your 9th house of travel, wisdom, and higher mind. Yes, it’s the perfect month for a trip, and you will be an honored guest at that banquet.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21) Given careful analysis, which you can perform early in the month, this is an ideal time to refinance a home or other outstanding loan. Best day for a legal commitment is Friday the 16th; if not possible then, be sure to sign before Mercury goes retrograde on the 26th. Other long standing situations can also be successfully resolved now. The jailhouse guard has been preoccupied with the cook lately, and now is your chance to escape. You have been granted use of a big cosmic broom this May, Libra; figure out what needs to be swept away, and get busy.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21) The situation appears to be about other people, Scorpio, but it’s really about you! Like actors in a cosmic script, they will entice, swoon, and make light of what is really a serious situation. That which looks fine on the 18th will be subject to a more realistic view on the 19th. Remember, spring gives us two Full Moons in your sign – at the first and last degrees of Scorpio! There are rewards, but also an accounting. This is really a turning point, Scorpio. You are gaining in strength like a Jedi knight, but choose your battles carefully. But, don’t expect a free lunch. Save your appetite for the banquet which arrives in autumn.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20) Are you earning money, Sag? With Jupiter traveling through your 2nd house of tangible goods, this is the perfect season. It may be time to explore some new options, though. Take advantage of the positive options which are presented on the 21st. The Full Moon of May 19th culminates in your natal 12th house, a ghostly place of doubt and karma. This will bring up some dear self examination; use this energy to program some positive affirmations into your subconscious instead of indulging in haunting fears.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19) Freedom comes, although it may take a moment to appreciate the feeling. A get away weekend of peace and quite is in order at some point this month. You need time alone to contemplate and generate a new vision, before putting your head down and getting back to work. Find the big picture and think about long term goals; the details, really, will flow nicely if you only stand out of the way. This Mercury retrograde period which begins on the 26th is about untangling snarled messes of paper and system malfunctions. Be patient.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17) You will be asked to take a stand on some issue this month, Aquarius. Take it on, because the result can bring healing to a long standing dysfunction. It’s like a bubble which you need to burst has now surfaced for your attention; if you ignore it this time, it goes back into hiding, but will come back later. (These types of ‘bubbles’ are usually tougher on their 2nd and 3rd round, too.) And, it may seem as though it is fixing something for somebody else, but, on a deeper level, it’s soothing a part of your own soul, and the admission price ultimately buys your liberty. Take action before the 24th – you have little to lose, and everything to gain.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19) Your watery sensitivities are working overtime this month, Pisces. Prepare for Mercury retrograde which begins on the 26th and lasts until June 19th. Falling in Gemini, your natal 4th house, this can be particularly unsettling to you, as it influences your home, and your core, or chi center. In short, this affects your body energies as well as your physical home. Mars in Leo after the 9th races through your 6th house of health; vitality is important, but you should also avoid ‘burn out’- create a good exercise routine, but don’t over do it. It’s the right time to correct long-standing issues; identify that nagging problem which has been bugging you for so long – and fix it.
