ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
You are reaching a critical moment! As if the confusing vibrations from Mercury causing communication and transportation problems aren’t enough to deal with already, your planetary rulers, Mars and Pluto, are adding more pressure as they move into a difficult alignment. Avoid being forced to sign a contract or make a quick decision. Unnecessary traveling is also discouraged at this time. Domination of conversations, difficult transformations through religion, power issues with in-laws and trying to change others instead of yourself are all possible manifestations of these energies. An increase in your libido with a tendency to obsess over things is also shown. The sign Scorpio may be temporarily problematic.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Crazy cosmic influences continue as your planetary ruler, Venus, moves through the sign of Gemini and your 2nd house. Although you may have the inclination to make financial decisions and sudden purchases, I strongly advise you to postpone these urges or you may lose sleep over it. Celestial energies intensify with challenging vibrations from Pluto, bringing the possibility of uncontrollable lust, obsessions, heavy financial debts and serious power struggles. Difficulties with the signs Aries and Scorpio are also likely. This may be an extremely emotional time, especially after April 28, but you must realize that these are only growing pains.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Chaotic cosmic influences continue for the last week as your planetary ruler, Mercury, seemingly moves backward through the sign of Aries and your 11th house. An inclination to make a major decision could arise very close to April 25, especially when friends, clubs and your life’s ambition are involved. However, I strongly suggest that you wait until late next week before you carve anything into stone, or it may only be temporary. Love affairs and sexual encounters may be effortlessly found through friends and group organizations anytime after April 25. The signs Scorpio and Aries could play a part.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
Celestial conditions have recently been less than harmonious with Mercury regressing through your 10th house, causing chaos at work, parental problems, traffic and communication difficulties. But situations will soon improve with some early morning lovemaking around April 23, especially if a Taurus, Libra or Aries are involved. When your ruling Moon moves into your own sign close to April 24, the homebody inside of you may surface, bringing domestic duties, a tendency to nurture, possible depression and a focus on home-based businesses. Lunar vibrations get better when the Moon moves into the sign of Leo around April 27. Recreation, romance and financial matters are featured at this time.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
Career issues and reputation concerns are in focus as your ruling Sun moves through the sign of Taurus and your 10th house. Love affairs and sexual encounters are indicated close to April 25, along with unexpected job opportunities, sudden changes and access to other people’s money, especially if the signs Aquarius, Scorpio or Aries have anything to do with it. Celestial conditions get even better when Jupiter enters the picture, bringing good luck, travel, career advancement and financial expansion around April 28. Parents, bosses and the signs Sagittarius, Pisces or Capricorn could be of great benefit to you at this time.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Planetary challenges continue for the last week as your ruler, Mercury, regresses through the sign Aries and your 8th house. General stagnation, delays in financial matters and a lack of sexual activity are still in your forecast. But cosmic situations begin to improve close to April 25 with career opportunities, increases in energy levels and benefits from men. Celestial influences further improve after April 26 with the release of emotional baggage, inner transformations, psychic connections and the remodeling of your living space, especially the kitchen. The signs Scorpio and Aries could be very helpful at this time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You may have noticed a breakdown in communications in personal and business relationships due to Mercury’s regression through your 7th house, but these influences will soon be over. However, intense vibrations from Pluto are coming into the picture just after April 28, bringing possibilities for obsessions, talking way too much, bad news, forced decisions and difficulties with the signs Scorpio and Aries. Use extra caution while traveling at this time. Your libido could become uncontrollable and you may have trouble concentrating on anything but sex. Signs point to a need for change in your daily routine.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
It might be a good idea to monitor your temper this week as your planetary rulers, Pluto and Mars, move into a difficult alignment. A tendency to speak in anger (especially over money), base sexual encounters, power struggles and temporary problems with the sign Aries are all possibilities in your forecast. These energies will reach their climax around April 25, heightening your sexuality and emotional responses. The signs Gemini and Virgo could be helpful at work, but not extremely reliable. Romantic and business partnerships are also indicated at this time. The sign Leo could be involved.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
Planetary circumstances are somewhat beneficial all week long as your planetary ruler, Jupiter, moves through the sign of Virgo and your 10th house. Although confusing vibrations from Mercury could be causing some difficulties with romance, children and at the workplace, influences from Saturn simultaneously offer career advancement, financial backing, sexual opportunities and benefits from the sign Capricorn. Good health, fancy dress, love affairs and help from authority figures are indicated close to April 28. The sign Leo could be involved.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Celestial energies are going your way as your planetary rulers, Saturn and Uranus, harmoniously unite. You are certainly the luckiest sign this week with Jupiter on your side bringing robust health, a heightened spirituality, higher forms of education, opportunities for travel and benefits from foreigners and the signs Sagittarius and Pisces. However, avoid excess travel if at all possible. Cosmic vibrations just get better with a chance for romance around April 28, especially if the sign Leo is involved. As time progresses you’ll notice an even greater improvement, unless you were born around December 31.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
Cosmic forces are still in your favor all week as your planetary rulers, Uranus and Saturn, remain in a harmonious connection. Although some difficulties may arise within the realms of communication and transportation due to Mercury’s retrograde motion, influences from Jupiter offer some degree of protection. Vibrant health, job advancement, sexual opportunities and benefits from the signs Sagittarius and Pisces may all apply. Inner transformations through higher education, spirituality and travel are also shown. Romance and financial benefits from a parent or the sign Leo are indicated around April 25 and again on April 28. But avoid laziness, overspending and major decisions at this time.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Personal and business relationships are part of your focus as your planetary co-ruler, Jupiter, moves through the sign of Virgo and your 7th house. Romances with older partners, past lovers, bosses and the signs Capricorn and Aquarius are indicated, along with career advancement and business affairs related to children, creative projects and speculation. Although some of you will suffer unexpected breakups, relationships that weather this astrological time will prove to be stronger than you thought. Good news and romantic dates are shown close to April 28. The sign Leo could play a part.
