ARIES (March 20-April 20)
You are one of the signs who loves change. Now you get a second chance to complete projects or any activity you engaged in last fall. Your friends may appear a little more emotional. This week, Mars, the planet of action and energy, your ruling planet, moves to Cancer. The red planet remains in Cancer until May 9. Now, dear little ram, as others appear emotional or downright stubborn, remember, it is Mars in Cancer. Cancers are ruled by the moon, and with Mars’ energy they become a little crabby when things do not go their way. Expect a few conflicts until May 9, when Mars moves to fellow fire sign Leo. Right now you are trying to get the hang of Pluto in Capricorn.
TAURUS (April 20-May 21)
Mars sends you on the road. Could be a journey tracking back over the same territory you traveled last autumn when Mars went retrograde. Now, my friend, the red planet travels to Cancer, where he will remain until May 9. Use the energy wisely. This is a favorable transit. You may not have been the one who dropped the ball that last time, but, dear little Taurus, you are the stable one. You are grounded. Use the opportunity to make corrections. Do the research. Good news arrives next week.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Mars leaves your sign and travels to Cancer. This, my friend, should ring in good news for all financial things or anything you value. Mars remains in Cancer until May 9. Now say thank you to the crabs as they smile and wave their little claws. Now you may travel back over the same ground you covered last fall before the red planet went retrograde in November. I know, it could have been a money idea, because you have a knack for squirreling a little money away. Why don’t you open a savings account?
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
The moon is in Sagittarius. Mars enters your sign on Tuesday. I know you may feel you are repeating yourself. Retrogrades are the “re-” in front of anything you begin while a planet is retrograde. Now this is not all bad. You may get the chance to redo what is not working. Yes indeed, my friend, wave your little claws. If you didn’t like some of the choices you have made between November 15 and Tuesday, you now have the opportunity to make changes. Notice, little crab, that the universe works in your favor. Go ahead. You are in a decision-making mode. No reason to second-guess yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 23)
Saturn, the teacher of the zodiac, is retrograde. Mars moves to Cancer on Tuesday. Now you can look back over the past five months and make the necessary corrections. Now we all know, and you best of all, that it is not easy for you little lions to admit when you make a mistake. Work behind the scenes. Mars moves to your sign May 9. Use this time to figure out where you missed the mark. Saturn in your money house could bring a little more financial responsibility. Go ahead and work on paying off your credit cards and other debts. I know that during the past several months you have changed your priorities in the financial district.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)
Mars moves to Cancer on Tuesday. Now this, my friend, gives you a chance to detail and analyze mistakes that were made in your relationship department. Maybe others depended on you too much. Some of you little Virgos may have been so busy you neglected a few of your friends. Now you have the opportunity to heal and re-establish old friendships. The red planet has been retrograde since November. Now you can correct your mistakes during that period. Saturn in your sign for the next two years is teaching you to get organized. Some of the lessons may be tough. You will begin to receive some of the rewards in early May when Saturn moves direct again. Saturn does keep his promises.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Mars will be in this space until May 9. Work on your goals, hopes and wishes. Several planets in the daily work department send a wink to Mars. Lady Luck is on your side.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
The home front takes center stage in your solar chart, my friend. If work is not on your agenda, maybe it is time to redecorate the home front. A few of you may decide to move or relocate to another home. Mars moves to Cancer from Gemini. Yes indeed, my friend, your fellow water sign. Now you have the opportunity to have a little fun, and invite Lady Luck to the party. Use your creativity. Great time for travel. Check your finances. Use your higher knowledge.

Keep your words on the tender side. Mars, the planet of energy and action, enters your relationship department. Budget your time with work and family responsibilities. It’s not necessary to snap up every opportunity that comes your way, little mountain goat. Mars and Pluto are moving into opposition, and the choices you make begin this week. Yes indeed, it is opposition time. Do you want chocolate, or do you want vanilla? The choice is yours. The moon is in your sign this weekend. Spend time communicating with others. Talk about your values and your family relationship. Avoid arguments. No need for conflicts. You may just end up frustrated.
