‘ARIES - March 20 – April 18

Home life may bring some unexpected changes which will take you by surprise.  In the end, these are good changes which push you into an environment or situation which is much more positive than your current circumstances.  Some personal changes seem to be on the horizon as well.  You are thinking with more determination and showing more persistence in what you want to do. You are taking the bull by the horns (sorry, Taurus!) and doing what you feel is right for you.  The work place needs to be more nurturing as it is currently a place of stress, exhaustion and never-ending tasks and responsibilities.  It would be in your best interest if you could rest more, go out with friends or family, and have a good time.  A Halloween party would be a great way of sharing the month with those you love.

’TAURUS - April 19 – May 19 

This is a month where you can truly have some fun with your family and friends.  You will be going places, having guests visit your home and you may even host a Halloween party at the last minute. You don’t have to do all the cooking or entertaining.  Ask friends to bring their special gourmet dish so that everyone shares in the cooking expense.  Romance is also very interesting now.  Friends may try to break up your relationship, mostly out of jealousy or envy, but your relationship can handle any meddling from unimportant people.  Your continually long and hard work hours need to be adjusted for better health.  You over do everything. Your friends may cause you some issues and as usual you have to save the day, but all in all, a good month filled with some surprises, good luck and lots of activity.

“GEMINI - May 20 – June 20

Relationships seem to blossom and are progressing smoothly. Business and personal partnerships (marriage included) go in a much more positive direction; however, you may be thinking of a time to change partners in a relationship if you are bored or feel as if the oomph has left your relationship.  The choice is yours.  Getting in touch with your feminine side is important to understand why you help so many.  You are the caregiver or caretaker of your family and friends.  Many do not understand or appreciate what you do for them, but at the end of the day your life can be anything you want it to be.  Focus on your goals and dreams, move towards them a little each day and before you know it, you have reached your dreams and have proved to everyone that you can do whatever it is you want to do.

”CANCER - June 21 – July 21 

Getting your finances in order is a good thing.  Update all important papers when you have the time.  Friends will get you out of the house and encourage you to have fun.  There is so much you want to accomplish, so start with one project or task at a time and soon you will have many projects done.  This is a time to show your creativity and craftsmanship with Halloween costumes for the little ones or for yourself if you go out with your friends.  This is a great time to start making presents for the December holiday gift giving season. Homemade gifts are always appreciated and remembered.  If things do not go the way you have planned, let the universe take charge and you will be pushed into many more positive situations with which you will be happy and satisfied.

•LEO - July 22 – August 21

This is an amazing time to buckle down and study hard as the rewards will be greater than you thought.  It’s also a time where your philosophies of life may change, whether religious, spiritual or mundane; you are looking at life from many different perspectives.  Ideas that you thought you believed may surprise you and you seem to be turning towards another belief or point of view.  Dealing with women can be interesting as it seems that arguing is eminent.  Be careful of your words because you apparently annoy some of the women in your life.  It’s a good time to travel or continue with your studies towards a degree or certification.  You are thinking too much and about too many things, so keeping things in check will help alleviate some of the pressure around you.

–VIRGO - August 22 – September 21

Your career is interesting and challenging at the same time.  You are interested in furthering your career, but are unsure if it will be in the same field or with the same company.  The options are all around you and you will do well in either your current company or finding employment elsewhere.  Your contribution to either will be beneficial.  You have ambition now and do not want to be at the bottom of the ladder.  You need to change something important in your life. What seems to be stagnating or not moving forward as it should?  Is it a relationship?  A goal or aspiration?  Be direct, get answers, change what needs to be changed and move forward in a very positive manner.  Everything is before you now, so handle those responsibilities and deliver on your promises to others.  You are so respected that you want to make sure you keep your word at all times.

—LIBRA - September 22 – October 22

This is a month where you shine in almost everything you do.  You are happy, feel confident and your self-esteem level is at an all time high.  You are pursuing things that you left on the back burner for too long and getting so many things done.  Librans are feeling a sense of total accomplishment.  Even though many recent changes have made you take another path, this is a good thing.  You will be self-sufficient and learn how to make good decisions for yourself now.  Thinking about travel, fun, doing things differently and making important decisions are all on your mind.  Changes in your appearance, exercise or eating habits also seem to be in the works.  Doing anything positive that can help you reach your personal goals will be a good thing.

˜SCORPIO - October 23 – November 20

Friends, groups and associations are important now as well as getting to know who your true friends are and who are the ones who use you on a regular basis.  You may experience a bit of sadness or depression since you feel that you have trusted so many around you and find out that there have been a few betrayals.  You will bounce back because you do have so many other wonderful people in your life who truly love and care for you.  Even though many of the changes in your life the last couple of months are of your doing, things are still a bit confused and unsettled.  Big changes take a long time to get used to and to work properly.  Helping out your family and friends seem to be your never-ending lot in life, but at some point you need to take care of yourself.  Rest, read, exercise, and just plain relax.  If invited to a Halloween party, go.  I’m sure you will have fun and catch up on those you haven’t seen for some time.

™SAGITTARIUS - November 21 – December 20

What a great month to reinvent yourself.  Get a makeover, or perhaps a new hair cut or color.  You feel refreshed and exuberant about your life and want others to share the joy you feel at this time.  Have a party to show how much you appreciate your family and friends.  It doesn’t have to be a party for anything in particular, but just have the people around you who mean a lot to you. It’s a great time to catch up and find out what has been going on in everyone’s lives. So many positive changes are coming your way within your home life and/or career. For you snowbirds, it’s time to get everything organized and focused for your six month trek down South for the winter.  Be sure you have talked or seen everyone who is very special to you because Spring is a long way off.

šCAPRICORN - December 21 – January 18

Finances are your main concern this month.  Getting expert opinions about how to make your money grow would be a positive step to ensuring your future financial security.  Figuring out what you can and cannot do would be an important step to realizing how you can live your life without draining your resources.  Family relationships improve as long as you don’t talk about money. Sibling relationships in particular start to take on a new, closer direction.  A lot of good fortune and luck will be available to you now, so it would be good if you planned in which areas of your life you will take a chance, move forward or change something that isn’t quite right.  Be responsible, yet make sure that your life is going the way you want it to.  We can’t have everything we want in life, but you can be very close.

›AQUARIUS - January 19 – February 18

Family is important now.  Helping out where you can is totally appreciated.  You are always there for the underdog anyway or ready to help a family member with any issue or concern that comes their way.  Be sure that you also take care of yourself as well.  Being drained is not going to help you achieve your goals.  Limit the amount of time you talk to those who really need your help as they are draining the life out of you. Being tired at work is unacceptable and will make your performance on the job mediocre, so you do need to get a good night’s sleep.  Let your troubles and negative thoughts leave you when it is bedtime.  Think of positive affirmations or thoughts that will make you feel encouraged, nurtured and relaxed.  You deserve the best of everything and only you can give it to yourself.

œPISCES – February 19 – March 17

Things may not always be the way they seem.  You are being drawn into obscure and bizarre circumstances with family, friends and neighbors.  It is up to you to make sure that everyone is on the same page or at the very least sees reality in these areas of conflict or difficulty.  Be careful about what you say to others since you may feel it is imperative to tell a fib or two and then you will get caught.  What a wonderful time to start an art or music class.  You seem to be very artistic and creative, so whatever you feel are your strengths should now be recognized and nurtured.  You have unbelievable talent in many areas, but you need to focus that energy on finding out what your passion is so you will always enjoy what you create.  Teaching others your creative gifts would be a blessing to so many.  Perhaps you can even teach a class in an area of expertise.  Lovely time to get what you want and to create beautiful pieces of art, pottery or a craft project, so stop thinking about it and just do it.
