ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Don't try untangling knots in old, frayed ropes today, as four squares challenge the Moon in your sign. It might be better to stay home and bask in the hum of the air conditioner. Also: Try journaling about what's bothering you, or call a pal and kvetch gently. I wouldn't prepare meals with knives and cast iron skillets, unless you're dining alone. Monday's nicer, as Moon in Gemini sets you free to celebrate with good talk and external fireworks. Love:protect it; Career: coming to a boil; Health: kick back.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Delightful moments arrive on Saturday, with Moon in Taurus trining Uranus, Saturn and Chiron. Several days of pleasure follow, including a Fourth that may involve friends (i.e., certain rogue Geminis) well over their moody funks. You love fascinating outdoor-dining events with these chums. (I almost wrote "barbecues" but that's about scorching your species, sorry.) So don't let recent conflabs keep you from having fun. I guarantee you it wasn't personal. Love: chummy again; Career: cookin'; Health: stay hydrated.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Oh, boy. Wish I was in your shoes this coming week. (Maybe I am.) Warm-fuzzy moments are generated with the Moon in your sign, trining dreamy Neptune. You'll have all of Sunday to anticipate the best, as Moon in Gemini sextiles Venus, Mercury and Mars and trines star-maker Jupiter. It all comes together perfectly for the Big Bang in your back yard (bedroom, kitchen, or patio) you've been planning for weeks. You're producing a smash hit: your luscious life. Love: ascending; Career: lucky; Health: glowing.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
You were "born on the Fourth of July," so to speak. It's going to be a particularly memorable week in your life, because Saturn is about to enter Leo, releasing you from crunchy events of the past three years while it was in your sign. Still, in these days leading up to your exit from Hell, you'll want to be cautious. The final degrees of a planet in a sign often present challenging moments. So party -'n'-play, but don't drive drunk. Love: on time, as usual; Career: about to zoom; Health: sip a pina-Cola.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
"Born Free" is your anthem this week. The Fourth brings an airy detachment from "previous investment traps." You've been there for others, but when the Moon enters Gemini on Sunday and sextiles everything happy, you're liberated from constricting ties. Not that you haven't been gracious about it. However, instead of whimpering in the privacy of your lair, you can now open the windows and let out a giant roar of relief as the burdens fall—or drive—away. Love: released; Career: back on; Health: stoked.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
The next few days, while the Moon is in Earth-sign Taurus, you'll feel comfy, and will see things that have been bugging you much more clearly. You'll even be inspired to rid your space (both physical and mental) of clutter that's been accumulating these past few months, as the Moon and Saturn sextile on Saturday. Plan to have an easygoing Independence Day, as the Gemini Moon squares Virgo on the Fourth. Declare yours "mellow." Love: cuddle up; Career: follow up on that hunch; Health: slow down.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Join the parties from Sunday through the Fourth, especially if you're in the market for a new romantic interest. It's a particularly gratifying weekend for all air signs, with a Gemini Moon hosting the festivities. Check out the cute barbecue-er who wishes someone would stick around and chat while he or she flips the burgers. As the next batch heats up, you can heat things up with the chef. Later, let the fireworks begin! Love: promising; Career: simmering; Health: enjoy.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
You'll watch from the sidelines Monday as Americans frolic with footballs, baseballs and beer. You prefer to lounge, while smiling indulgently at lunatics, liberated from the office, pretending to adore white-bread buns and raw meat. You'll be sipping something cool, a la Sideways, or, if you've made sober plans, a frosty Diet Coke. Your moment of frivolity will come mid-month, as Saturn leaves water and life becomes a Scorpionic surfer's dream. Love: next to you; Career: hopeful; Health: let a Virgo drive you home.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
Jovial Sagittarians love a Big Bash. In fact, you guys may have invented the Fourth of July. This year, however, will bring quiet reflection and a mature attitude toward what "fun" really means to you these days. You could find that you're not all that turned on by loud displays of patriotism and mounds of food you wouldn't ordinarily touch with a 10-foot fork. Still, you'll clap, laugh and eat sensibly, and go home a smarter party animal. Love: evolved; Career: yours to craft; Health: easy does it.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
You're stoked by the weekend, as Moon in Taurus finds you taking charge of the party (or charging into it). You come to a screeching halt as you spy a photogenic potential partner situated by the pool, waiting for you to join the fun. Pick up something cold and saunter over mysteriously. Smile. Make eye contact, put out your hand and say "Hi, I thought that was you!" (Fireworks ensue.) Love: about to explode—in a good way; Career: crafty; Health: keep your neck covered and don't forget the suntan lotion.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
All eyes are on you as you enter the party, so wear something sexy and hip. A Gemini Moon reigns over the events from Sunday through early Tuesday, lending double-entendre magic for an enchanting celebration. There'll be seductive music and yummy snacks, and as the fireworks pop around you don't forget to notice that someone is watching your own brand of magic. They'll want to know you better, so memorize your résumé. Love: inviting; Career: stand up for what you believe; Health: stay cool and dry.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
You're a fish out of water this year as you square the Gemini Moon on Monday. Everyone's making like an American, tossing burgers on the barby and ooh-ing and ahh-ing for the zillionth time as pinwheels, flags, and rockets shriek and fizzle, driving you indoors for an aspirin. You'll find someone else there looking for peace, too, who's way-cute. Thus, a floperoo Fourth becomes a fabulous Fifth as Moon slips into Cancer Tuesday, putting you back in the pool. Love: soon; Career: gaining speed; Health: looking up.
