ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Don't forget to check out the night sky on Saturday, when Mars, your planetary ruler, is so big it almost resembles a full lunar orb. That night's the final performance of Guys and Dolls at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park at Red Rock. Add NYC to the wilderness for a perfect weekend date. It happens under a Gemini Moon that trines Venus and Jupiter and sextiles Mercury. This great star-combo also sextiles you, Aries, so prepare to make your own beautiful music under glittering planets and stars. Love: caliente; Career: unstoppable; Health: more salad, please.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
You could get in your own way, despite the fact that the Moon is in your sign. A Sun-Jupiter semi-square with Virgo and Libra could put your thinking so over-the-top that you bite off more than you can chew and end up promising something you can't deliver. Or, you could simply feel the feelings and create something better than you thought possible. Keep a lookout for Mars in Taurus, swelling to full-Moon proportions by Saturday. It's an omen. Love: be caring, not daring; Career: steady, in place; Health: you're doing your best.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Like the current Mars in the nighttime sky, the weekend's huge for you. Moon's in Gemini on Saturday, trining Venus (love) and Jupiter (luck), and sextiling Mercury (mental activities). Then on Sunday, Mercury sextiles Jupiter in the early morning, still under your Moon. What's it mean? Big Dreams you've stored in that tenacious mind of yours are about to become a delicious reality. Love: Cupid just arrived. He's collecting bows and arrows that were stored in baggage and is headed right for you; Career: fully loaded with high-octane hope; Health: taken care of.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
The Moon in your sign from Sunday to Wednesday brings a wealth of goodies and challenges that may be a bit more than you've bargained for. Are you ready for the right people and objects of desire to show up at your door, perhaps unannounced? The sextiling, trining, conjuncting and yes, even squaring (Moon squares Venus and Jupiter, Monday and Tuesday) that goes on under the Cancer Moon this week is awesome. So buy another piggy bank, 'cause you're about to cash in. Love: caution—red hot; Career: ditto; Health: be present for the healing.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
Today through Saturday are charming for you, with compatible Moons (and Mars) in Taurus and Gemini. They ease the occasionally insufferable heat of Saturn in your sign, but then, as a jungle animal you've always been partial to warmth. Get out and prowl when the sun goes down, to recapture that leonine sense of power you guys do so well. Saturday will stoke your engine, as Moon trines Venus and Jupiter (making you lucky in love) and sextiles Mercury for deep, lasting business connections. Love: lap it up; Career: new ideas excite you; Health: stay positive.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Moon's in Taurus until Friday, offering the opportunity to improve your environment: Re-design your office space, or buy that new chair you can even sleep in. Moon sextiles Saturn Friday, so the week ends with accomplishment. Take the satisfaction into Saturday, as Mars comes closest to the Earth it's been in 100 years. It fires up your emotions, taking you out of work—and into love—mode. You'll focus on naked ambitions, if you know what I mean. Love: use the chair; Career: percolating perfectly; Health: for many Virgos, sex is health.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
On Saturday the Moon trines your planetary ruler, Venus, with the added bonus that she's in your sign. But she's not the only angel in your corner this weekend. The Moon in friendly air sign Gemini also trines Jupiter (luck) and Neptune (dreams) and even sextiles Mercury, the planet of thought, in Leo, the sign of creativity and romance. In other words, it's a no-fail weekend, whether you're baking a cake, mounting a campaign to land a new job or reeling in the object of your affection. Love: within reach; Career: alive with the sound of music; Health: good to go.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
You square Mercury and Saturn in Leo right now, which could put you in a defensive mood at times. Still, squares are challenges, creating learning situations that pay off, eventually, in savvy, skills and sagacity. Nevertheless, the Moon's in water sign Cancer from Sunday through Wednesday, giving you a bit of an edge this week, especially on Wednesday as Mercury trines Pluto, the planet of power. That will be the perfect day to ask for a raise or apply for the job you've been ogling. Love: be cool; Career: look smart; Health: go easy.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
Mars is huge Saturday night, the biggest it's been in 100 years, and in Taurus, which could make people ornerier than usual. Why not get your kicks at Spring Mountain Ranch, where Guys and Dolls is in its final performance. Nathan Detroit meets Wile E. Coyote, an awesome combination of the urbane and the wild, guaranteed to take the edge off your bluster. Make the hurdles gently on Sunday, as Pluto in your sign opposes the Gemini Moon, but remember: Pluto is power, so in any contest with an air sign, you win. Love: you're its object; Career: hoppin'; Health: whoa up.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Moon and Mars are both in Taurus today and early tomorrow, and Mars blows up like a red rubber beach ball Saturday night, the biggest in a hundred years. Earth signs (you included, of course) will be kicking up their heels. Keep an eye out for disgruntled Leos, however, because Mercury currently in that sign squares Mars, so the kings of the jungle are a bit touchy these days. The action described above stars a goat (you) a bull (Taurus) and a lion (Leo). Talk about stubborn! At all costs, avoid a brawl. Love: call; Career eschew petty politics; Health: drive friendly.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
I just heard from Steve, an Aquarian, asking about his future. I said I knew I could put myself out of business by recommending The Power of Now by Eckhard Tolle, who says that the only important time is the present. Aquarians get that, being naturally gifted at higher awareness. Still, I'll hazard a guess that Saturday will be good for Steve and all you water-bearers out there, as Moon in Gemini, fellow air sign, trines Venus (love) and Jupiter (luck), dealing you a very good day. Love: at the table; Career: not half-crappy; Health: pop lotsa vitamin C.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Sunday to Wednesday shimmer under a water-sign Moon (in Cancer), so you should be immersed in bliss those days. Monday is open to dreamy pleasures as Moon sextiles Sun and Mars trines frisky Uranus (in Pisces), planet of sudden change. This gives rise to a lot of splashing and flipping about. It's the final week of August, so why not say ta-ta to the longest summer month with a pool party? Mars, close to Earth, generates major steam heat with cute guppies who swim your way. Love: over there, in the Speedo; Career: take a mental health day; Health: ditto.
