ARIES
21 March – 19 April
This is a time when you invest in yourself and the people around you that you respect. Benefits may not be immediate, but they will surely arrive down the road. You are especially companionable and open to new experiences, although perhaps starry-eyed at times. A romance begun now might be characterised by sensitivity, concern, and care on the positive side, but it could also be a moody, clinging one.
TAURUS
20 April – 20 May
Career opportunities come knocking at your door this month and you are looked upon more favourably from those in higher positions. You are also coming across as an authority, and being your own boss is something some of you are leaning towards. Relationships begun now are emotionally charged, domestic, potentially long-lasting, and somewhat private – they run deep. A very easy-going and easy energy is with you now.
CANCER
21 June – 22 July
You could feel as if you are moving out of the dark and into the light, and you’re likely to find the spirit and motivation to embark on unusual or simply different adventures. There are some wonderful and perhaps surprising opportunities that have to do with travel or education this month. You are radiating energy that makes you more attractive, and, as a result, opportunities are that much stronger for romantic attention.
GEMINI
21 May – 20 June
You are looking to the future, not to the past, and the desire to leap forward into new and unexplored territory is powerful. Career goals, professional interests, or social standing could be catalysts for this process. Sharing long-term goals, hopes, dreams, and wishes, treating your partner as a friend as well as a lover, and showing tolerance and acceptance would help in the bond getting more powerful.
LEO
23 July – 22 August
Your powers of attraction skyrocket, and outstanding creative opportunities arise. You could be the go-to person for information and know-how. A pleasant, affectionate, relaxed, or courteous attitude eases your interactions now, and may open doors or help lighten troubled situations that you’ve been working with lately. New interests and possibly love opportunities can be part of the picture in the last week of the month.
VIRGO
23 August – 22 September
It’s a time when inspiration comes suddenly, and you could pick up new, and possibly radically different interests or goals. Unexpected meetings, disruptions, or changes that point you in a new direction can occur now. Love requires emotional space and acceptance, and some of you could find love through, or with, friends and groups. This is a time for feeling personally hopeful, emotionally satisfied, and socially popular.
CAPRICORN
22 December – 19 January
Surprises are in store, and they’re pointing you in new directions. There could also be surprising turns of events surrounding creative projects, romance, friends, and children at this time. Invitations to go out and have some fun should be grabbed, but try to keep one foot on the ground, particularly when it comes to money. Small risks, however, could very well pay off. You will show a stronger desire to define your relationships.
LIBRA
23 September – 22 October
Your energy levels run high and your pioneering instincts are strong. This is a fabulous period for charm and attractiveness. You are having some big plans for the future and are devoted completely to them. People in sports, media and the performing arts will benefit. Relationships begun now are ego-gratifying, dramatic, dynamic. Because you are open to love and friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience.
AQUARIUS
20 January – 18 February
You are beginning a period best used for emotional renewal, tying up loose ends, and laying low. Your mood and attitude are conciliatory, and your need for love and approval heightened. You gain what you want through diplomacy or charm and by enlisting the support of your friends, rather than by being forthright and bold. You are willing to make concessions in order to maintain harmony in your environment.
SCORPIO
23 October – 21 November
This month is strong for networking, friendships, and new approaches in your career. You’re inclined to use charm, gentle coaxing, and loving persuasion rather than more direct, forceful methods to get what you want. You will benefit from working on clearing up any problems that have cropped up with friends and lovers. Friendships and love might be renewed or revitalised. The relationship is likely to be sentimental, and perhaps somewhat insular.
PISCES
19 February – 20 March
This is a time for incorporating imaginative, creative, and alternative methods into what you do. A humble approach does wonders for your professional life and reputation. This is not a time to push yourself or to be involved in activities that require intense competition or a great expenditure of energy. Cooperative, harmonious personal and professional relationships are more important to you at this time.
SAGITTARIUS
22 November – 21 December
You will be open to new ideas and stimulation, but experiment wisely and creatively. Don’t allow someone else to steamroll over your personal plans. A neglected matter from the past can re-emerge, or there can be a strong temptation to impulsively act on a secret desire. Sharing and comparing your spiritual, religious, or philosophical interests with a loved one may open up a whole new dimension of your relationship.
