HOROSCOPE

ARIES
(March 20-April 19)

Mercury roars into your sign Friday. Don't be bullheaded regarding communications. You may feel restricted on the home front. A rare grand water trine occurs in the sky on Sunday. You may have a conversation with a sibling about relationships. Communication is encouraged with clubs and organizations. Okay, little bull, we know you tend to paw the earth and snort, but you have some ideas you can share with others that are nothing to sniff at. Happy birthday—and when you set your goal for the month, you can also set one for the next year, something you want to accomplish before your next birthday. This is one of those weeks when you expect the unexpected. On Saturday, a bunch of horses may have you little bulls glued to your seats as they run in the Kentucky Derby.

CANCER
(June 21-July 22)

Wave your claws at that grand water trine in the heavens in the three water signs. Mars brings action to the trine aspect that it forms with Jupiter and Uranus.

Creative ideas flow. Share your higher knowledge. Spend Wednesday by yourself. Find a quiet place on the beach. Go fishing. But keep your words soft. Not a good day to meet with the banker.

LEO
(July 22-Aug. 22)

This is a good weekend for having fun. Cinco de Mayo is Friday, and for you little kittens who enjoy hanging around the horse barn, it is Kentucky Derby time. You fire signs are the gamblers of the zodiac, so place your bets and then watch the horses burn up the track. With Mars anchoring a grand water trine in the sky, an opportunity could occur suddenly on the home front. Others bring action to a project you may be working on behind the scenes. The window of growth, luck and opportunity is open. Venus visits the space in your chart for travel and Saturn is providing structure. Enjoy fun with the family this week, since you probably feel a little restricted in your career department. You don't want a conversation with the big cat at work this week. Next week brings Mama Cat's day.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Jupiter, your ruling planet, gets action and energy from other people as you join in a family celebration this week. Sunday night if you look at the heavens you will see a triangle—a grand water trine that forms as Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces get a visit from Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. Expect surprises on the home front. Great time to get away from your daily work. I know a few of your fellow employees are a little bullheaded. Your Taurus pals celebrate their birthday for the next two weeks or so. They're earth signs and they really enjoy seeing all that water in the grand trine. Saturn and Venus are encouraging you to take a journey and have a little fun with the children.

PISCES
(Feb. 20-March 22)

You may get a sudden urge to pack up the children and love in your life this week and travel. Grand water trine can be seen on Sunday when three planets form a rare triangle in the sky. A Venus in Aries sends a cash flow from your daily work. Also a great time to call a Taurus friend who's celebrating a birthday. Taurus has two more weeks to celebrate. It's the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs on Saturday. Neptune allows you to share a few dreams, so maybe you're dreaming about picking the Kentucky Derby winner.
