ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Sleep, dreams and secrets are highlighted as your cosmic ruler, Mars, moves through the sign of Pisces and your 12th house. You may prefer to stay out of the spotlight at this time and subconscious motivations are also likely. Close associations with Uranus are indicated after May 11 bringing sudden realizations, strange circumstances and generally unexpected happenings related to friends, bedrooms, hidden projects, computers, electricity and electrical appliances. The signs Aquarius and Capricorn could play an unusual part. As this is my last column, I want to remind you of your great strength and originality. Just remember to finish what you start.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Your celestial ruler, Venus, is moving through the last degrees of your sign. Those born after May 15 should expect love affairs, social situations, financial enhancements and physical beauty. A move into the sign of Gemini and your 2nd house around May 10 brings financial matters and personal values into focus. Clearer thinking, better communication and financial decisions are likely at this time. This is my final column and I wanted to remind you that you are the most stable of the signs, but you need to remain open enough to accept new ideas and possibilities.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Cosmic forces are mixed this week as your planetary ruler, Mercury, moves through the sign of Aries and your 11th house. On one hand, clashes from Saturn are indicated close to May 7 influencing financial burdens, needy friends and heavy workloads, especially when the signs Capricorn and Aquarius are involved. But positive associations with Pluto come into play around May 9 bringing deep changes, new lovers and important business contacts. The signs Scorpio and Aries could be instrumental in your success. Since this is my last column, I just want to say some call you two-faced, but I know differently. Stay flexible and adaptable, but maintain your identity and ideals.
CANCER (
June 22-July 22)
A fresh cycle begins with the new Moon in Taurus and your 11th house on May 8. Love and romance are forecasted at this time, along with social situations, ideal incomes and raising money for charity. The signs Leo, Taurus or Libra could play a beneficial role. This is my last column, my fellow water sign. The moody homebody is what you've often been labeled. Move beyond your emotions and negative habit patterns and you've got a very healing, intuitive and psychic energy within you. The world needs that so badly!
LEO
(July 23-Aug.23)
Career and finances are highlighted with your ruling Sun moving through the sign of Taurus and your 10th house. Peculiar interactions with Neptune close to May 7 could bring secret lovers, moonlighting, working in solitude and deception within business relationships, especially when the signs Pisces or Sagittarius are involved. Helpful influences from Saturn are indicated just after May 11 inspiring career advancement, hard work, dreams about your job and help from secret places. The signs Capricorn and Aquarius may apply. As I write my last column, I wanted to say that you are naturally warm, generous, talented and strong, just remember when it comes to drama, less is more.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Planetary conditions are mixed with your cosmic ruler, Mercury, moving through the sign of Aries and your 8th house. Challenging connections with Saturn around May 7 bring temporary stagnation, problems with friends and a lack of financial support, especially when your boss or the signs Capricorn and Aquarius are involved. Cosmic vibrations improve when Pluto enters the picture near May 9 influencing deep transformation, changes within the home, access to other people's money and lots of sex. The signs Scorpio and Aries could be inspirational. This is my last column, and I just wanted to say put judgement aside and learn to love yourself for who you strive to be.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Your planetary ruler, Venus, is moving through the final degrees of the sign Taurus and your 8th house. Sex, money and transformation have recently been high on your list of priorities. Cosmic vibrations shift with a move into the sign of Gemini and your 9th house around May 10 bringing thought, education, travel and spirituality into light. Long-distance communications, travel plans and associations with in-laws are likely at this time. As I retire from the astrology business, my final words for you are "Maintain your own inner balance and use your refined nature to spread peace".
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
So you've had a regression. That's understandable when your planetary ruler, Pluto, is moving in a seemingly backward motion through the sign of Sagittarius and your 2nd house. Changing is what your do best (among other things), so I know you'll continue with your transformation with great success. Associations with Mercury close to May 8 offer a better diet, new cloths, job advancement and financially beneficial decisions, especially when the signs Gemini and Virgo are involved. This is my last column, so remember you are a very powerful sign (I'm a Scorpio myself), and to use your powers for good!
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
You can still make your dreams come true. But then again, you always could. Distant associations between your planetary rulers, Jupiter and Neptune, allow intuitive insights that could lead you to your ultimate success. But weird confrontations from Uranus could mean sudden emotional outbursts, epiphanies, electrical problems at home and issues with the signs Aquarius and Capricorn. This is my final column and I wanted to say you are the luckiest, best educated and most optimistic of all the signs. Don't let laziness, too many directions or overindulgence throw you off target.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Personal and professional relationships are highlighted as your cosmic ruler, Saturn, continues through the sign of Cancer and your 7th house. Positive connections with the Sun are indicated soon after May 11 offering love affairs, fertility, creative collaborations and romantic recreations, especially when the sign Leo is involved. As this is my final column, I'd like to say that you are very disciplined, career minded and desire to leave your mark in this world. Letting go of the past and getting your identity wrapped up with your career are the obstacles to overcome.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb.18)
You may overspend at this time due to connections between Jupiter and your ruler, Uranus, especially when travel, tuition or the signs Sagittarius and Pisces are involved. A burst of energy and increased focus on making money are likely soon after May 11. The signs Aries and Scorpio could be financially beneficial. This is my last column so I wanted to say that you are one of my favorite signs, and Matt Dillon and Oprah are two of my favorite celebrity Aquarians. You are cool, intellectual, enigmatic and concerned about people as a whole, and I find you fascinating. Take care!
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Your planetary ruler, Neptune, remains in the sign of Aquarius and your 12th house. Confrontations from the Sun are indicated close to May 7 influencing secret lovers, bratty children and bad decisions related to gambling, creativity or recreation, especially when the sign Leo is involved. An odd connection between Uranus and your co-ruler, Jupiter, offers sudden personal changes, impulsive behavior and unexpected realizations. The signs Aquarius and Capricorn may apply. As I write my last column, I wanted to say that you are the sign of the subconscious mind and it's very important that you follow your intuition. It will lead you to your dream, so hold on to that beautiful vision!.
