ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
You're probably having trouble staying cool enough to laugh off Saturn and retrograde Mercury, both in Leo. However, you and Leo trine, so in the long run challenging astro-lessons will be to your benefit. Keep your mind focused (if you can keep out of trouble) and expect a windfall mid-August, when Mercury the messenger goes direct. He'll announce you've passed a karmic test that won't ever be quite as difficult in the future. Love: give it space; Career: tune it; Health: keep it simple.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Mars (action) enters Taurus today, and the Moon trines Venus (love), providing flirtatious amusement. By Sunday you experience a Mars-Saturn square; it delivers the goods. Delays that seemed to block a cherished dream, you'll realize, were necessary to its fulfillment. You've needed the time and experience to make it better than ever. Love: keep people who care posted on your evolving revelations; Career: be honest, but don't give away your power; Health: plan some alone-time this weekend.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Home activities are highlighted in the next three weeks. Plus, it's hot, and with Saturn in fiery Leo and Mercury irritatingly retrograde, you'll do well to stay indoors as much as possible, preferably near (or directly under) the A/C. On Monday, Moon in Gemini sextiles Mars, so prepare for a positive mood swing that has you dazzling co-workers with your energy and savvy for doing things in a much smarter way. Love: invite it over to share the breeze; Career: avoid petulance; Health: whatever gets you cold.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
You won't mind the heat a bit Tuesday, when Moon trines Uranus, sextiles Venus and squares Jupiter. With so much good stuff on your plate, you'll need to pause between munchings to get it all down. Uranus surprises you with feelings for someone adorable who got in under the radar (or while you were napping last week). Jupiter makes you a little Tom- Crazy, so show your heart, but don't wear it on your sleeve (or on Oprah). Love: take it slow; Career: you can't miss now; Health: tops.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
"The lion sleeps tonight"; in fact, all week. You may not have your usual get-up-and-go right now because Saturn's in Leo and Mercury retrograde in Leo makes things seem to go backward to mid-August. I know I wrote it here last week; it's just a reminder that there's nothing wrong with you, it's the Zodiac that's out of (your) sorts. Next Friday you'll get more than your share of fun and money, so snooze away. You're gonna need the rest. Love: tickles you; Career: don't rush it; Health: lie back and wait.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Venus is currently in Virgo until August 16, so dive into that closet and pull out the babe-magnet duds: slinky shirts, tight jeans, low-cut tops and high-steppin' heels. Venus is the planet of romance and sex appeal. It's style that counts. Add Mars in Taurus to the equation for a sense of urgency in all earthy matters, including money-making schemes. In other words, several windows of opportunity are opening up to you right now. Go for it! Love: be seen; Career: drive it home; Health: vibrant.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Staying cool's the operative state for you this week. Sunday-Monday brings windfalls at work/career, as you ride a creative slipstream. A project you've presented gets noticed now, and accepted after August 15, when Mercury goes direct. But take care with romance, as Moon squares Venus and Uranus Saturday for that scary "splat!" sound a heart makes when it hits the ground. Cold works for comfort, never for ... Love: gotta be friends; Career: a pivotal week for promotion; Health: be ergonomically correct.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
Tuesday's Cancer Moon finds you emotional and a bit twitchy. Moon trines Uranus in Pisces with a Mercury-Neptune opposition as well (Leo-Aquarius), making you Homeland Security self-conscious, like you're being watched. Try not to be paranoid or isolated; no need to turn your computer to the wall or check the shower stall for bugs. Invite friends over to keep you company, but choose weepies over creepies if you do DVDs. Love: helps; Career: don't stop now; Health: green is good, as in veggies.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
Sagittarians are a varied lot: there's the Palomino, the Arabian, and even the mule. You could be a "neigh"-sayer Tuesday and Wednesday, when a Mercury-Neptune opposition makes you skittish. You don't like impediments to your freedom, even when you're doing the impeding, and tend to act out under stress. Chalk it up to a glitch in the cosmos. If someone says, "Quit horsing around!" don't stampede—just trot on by. Love: be sure your contacts are in; Career: it's a matter of time; Health: jog before noon.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Moon in Taurus trines Venus in Virgo today for earthy pleasures. This sets up the opportunity for romantic weekend action. Moon also trines capricious Uranus for an anything-can-happen experience, so don't second-guess yourself. (You're looking great these days, believe it.) You could have a cosmic moment, when your soul mate sneaks up behind you, taps you on the shoulder and says, "Where ya been all my life, gorgeous?"
Love: expect it; Career: think big, but be prudent; Health:stay centered.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
The Moon trines Jupiter Friday, ringing up big bucks and bling. Even work will be lighthearted, with Moon in carefree Gemini on the weekend (as opposed to Thursday-Friday's earthy Taurean lunation; also lucrative, but with a more serious focus). Take your earnings to town and let off steam in an air-conditioned fun-place with a favorite fellow go-getter. It's a great way to beat the heat, and besides, you need to show off the bling. Love: hot (in a cool way); Career: keeps rolling along; Health: unwind.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Moon sextiles Venus and squares Jupiter Tuesday in Cancer, luring both love and money to all water signs. Avoid the turgid response that day (read: bombastic). You'll immerse yourself in romance and pick up more clients than you can handle this week. You're not much deflated by Mercury retrograde (through August 15), though you might feel like staying home more, especially since fish are out of water in the sun-parching heat. Love: pay attention; Career: let it go —it comes back; Health: immerse yourself.
