ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Celestial circumstances have recently been less than enjoyable for your sign, but planetary vibrations begin to dramatically improve around April 30. Better communications and traveling conditions will soon emerge, while decisions will have more permanence. Making travel plans, going back to school, spiritual pursuits and personal transformation are all encouraged, especially if you were born within a day of April 11. Changes in diet or dress, good news and effortless benefits from the signs Gemini and Virgo are also indicated. Avoid overpaying and getting into tiffs with a Taurus or Libra.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Although cosmic situations have greatly improved from last week, celestial conditions are still mixed as your planetary ruler, Venus, moves through the sign of Gemini and your 2nd house. Contradictory influences begin late on April 30 with secret communications, sound sleeping habits and financial decisions related to hospitals, studios and bedrooms. Associations with the signs Gemini and Virgo could also work to your advantage at this time. However, simultaneously overwhelming vibrations from Pluto could cause forced decisions, intense emotions, obsessions and enormously heightened sexual responses. Avoid letting your libido override your personal moral standards. The signs Scorpio and Aries may become temporarily problematic.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Planetary vibrations have greatly improved, even though your cosmic ruler, Mercury, seems to be standing still in the sign of Aries and your 11th house. Sexual relationships and looking good should come easy for you by late on April 30, especially if the signs Scorpio or Aries are involved. These energies will be in effect all week long, bringing powerful contacts, business partnerships, benefits from women and a deepening in current friendships. This is also an excellent opportunity to reevaluate your ultimate goals and make any necessary inner changes. If you were born very close to June 12, expect relationship problems, power conflicts, possible abuse and difficulties with Scorpio and Aries.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
Planetary energies have taken a turn for the better by April 30, bringing a more harmonious working environment and easier traveling conditions. A lunar shift into the sign of Libra could bring some late-night lovemaking in your own boudoir around May 2 with a Libra, Taurus, Aries or Scorpio, even if it's only in your dreams. But look out for the Full Moon in the seductive sign of Scorpio on May 4. Intense emotional responses, powerful sexual desires and psychic connections with lovers and children are all forecasted at this time. Avoid being a drunken lush.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
Career opportunities are within your grasp close to April 30, or maybe you're dreaming of your own home-based business. Your parents, past employers, bosses, older people and the signs Capricorn and Aquarius could be instrumental to your good fortune. Working in isolation, secret employment, public glamour and business related to music, film, medicine, gas, water or oils are all featured close to May 2. Secret love affairs within the workplace may not be as secret as you might think just after May 5. Secret enemies and deception in business partnerships are also possible at this time. The signs Pisces and Sagittarius could be involved.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Cosmic forces have improved from last week, with your planetary ruler, Mercury, now seemingly stationary in the sign of Aries and your 8th house. Powerful vibrations from Pluto could make this the perfect time to finish what you have already started. These energies will continue all week long, giving you the sustained desire to get things done. Home remodeling, kitchen redecoration, psychic connections and intense emotional reactions are all likely, but are you focusing only on the exterior? Inner changes may also be required for complete success. Sexual themes are also highlighted. The signs Scorpio and Aries could play a part.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Celestial conditions have improved from last week, but you're not out of the woods yet. Sure, your relationships should be going more smoothly, especially with younger partners and the signs Gemini and Virgo. But by late on April 30, it will be hard to ignore the overly intense vibrations that the planet Pluto has in store for your sign. Overly sexual feelings may begin to take over, as you find yourself talking way too much. Preoccupations, obsessions, power struggles and problems communicating with the signs Scorpio and Aries are all indicated. Use extra caution when traveling and keep your car doors locked at all times. A secret may also be revealed.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Planetary circumstances will have shifted and slightly improved for your sign by April 30. Improvements in your diet and general health may be felt almost immediately, while situations at work and your daily commute become a little easier. Although financial opportunities, raises and benefits from the signs Virgo and Gemini are indicated all week long, some good news may not be quite as great as it seems. Look out for talking too much and overpriced purchases. Difficulties with a Taurus or Libra are also likely, but effortless benefits will continue to flow from neighbors, siblings, co-workers and younger people.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
Celestial situations hold opportunities and unexpected events this week as your planetary ruler, Jupiter, moves through the sign of Virgo and your 10th house. Career transitions, home businesses, inner changes, access to family money and sexual escapades with your boss, older partners or the sign Capricorn are all possibilities in this week's forecast. But unexpected circumstances may also unravel with sudden emotional upheavals, visits from friends or parents and unusual happenings within the home, especially if electricity or electrical appliances are involved. The sign Aquarius could play a part.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Cosmic conditions couldn't get any better! Your planetary rulers, Saturn and Uranus, are not only positively aligned with each other, but also beneficially connected with the luckiest planet, Jupiter. Recent contacts with the Sun have influenced artistic inspiration, recreation, romance and benefits from the sign Leo. Vibrations from Jupiter could bring opportunities for business partnerships and home businesses, loans, good health and distant travel all week long. Helpful associations with the signs Sagittarius and Pisces are also shown.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
Celestial vibrations remain in your favor as your planetary rulers, Uranus and Saturn, harmoniously unite. Lucky influences from Jupiter have also entered the picture, increasing the possibility of harmony, flow and general good fortune for your sign. Although you may be inclined to spend money spontaneously, hesitate and you may discover you bank account getting larger with little effort. Job advancement, new clothes, travel and growth through higher education are all indicated. A more disciplined diet could also bring better health at this time. Benefits from the signs Sagittarius and Pisces are also shown.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Opposing forces are in action as your planetary co-ruler, Jupiter, moves through the sign of Virgo and your 7th house of relationships. This is indeed a week of extremes. Some love affairs will solidify into a long-term romance, while others will suddenly break off without warning. Relationships from the past, with older partners or the sign Capricorn, are more favorable if you're looking for stability. If you were born close to February 26, look for impulsive actions, increased independence and unexpected occurrences. Friends and the sign Aquarius could be involved.
