Aries / March 21 – April 19
The love duo planets, Mars and Venus, move to your area of relationships, making this a perfect time to get out and socialize. However, Mars, your ruler, is not that comfortable in this position. So be careful that you are not too quick to pass judgment on someone if they are not doing what they said they would – they could have a good reason. Look for opportunities at work, something fabulous could have your name on it, but it’s up to you to be proactive and go after it. This is a great time to plan for the future. Be idealistic and think in terms of ‘what-it’ you had no limitations, what would you do.
Taurus / April 20 – May 20
Your love zone is hot with activity. The new Moon in this area is a sign of better things to come. And if you’re looking for love, this can be the time that you meet someone special, if not, then be patient, it will happen. You have a chance this month to rebuild a friendship and get it back on track, but don’t spend too much time and energy dredging up what went wrong.

Your career is on a fast track to success, but be careful not to just take anything that comes your way, because it just happens to cross your desk. Money is crucial to live, but it’s also important to do what you love, that’s where you will gain the most satisfaction. One of your strengths, Sagittarius, is to look at the big picture and to inspire others to do the same. This month, make sure you send your thoughts to the universe on a positive note; it’s the ‘positive’ part that has the power to manifest your dreams. But be realistic about the time frame for completion. With the full Moon influencing your relationships later in the month, it will help you get to the bottom of a situation that needs more clarity. Be open to discussion and you will be able to move forward on a more confident note.
Capricorn / December 22 – January 19

Your home and family area will be up for review during this time and Saturn will caution you not to make any rash decisions. Take a step back to reevaluate and ensure you have the facts correct before doing or saying anything. A situation at work looks positive but it can stop start, which will give you time to fine tune the details. Try to go with the flow somewhat this month, as there may very well be more to come and you don’t want to act too quickly and interfere in the process. What happens next can work out better for you. Good friends will offer support, and a discussion can clear up a misunderstanding. Love can be combined with work somehow, and it can have a destined feel about it.
Aquarius / January 20 – February 18
The energy of the new Moon shines light and optimism on your work situation; if you have been waiting for things to change, stand by, as they can during this time. You are entering a new cycle for your career – be positive, when you think the best, that’s often what you get. Mercury also influences your career, and can provide the opening to have a discussion that can set things in motion. If you have a situation with friends that relates to money, be wary, it may not end up as you thought it would. But there is no point getting upset, it is what it is, spend your energy instead on making other arrangements. With love, be careful of getting caught up with what someone did or didn’t do; it may be time to forgive, forget and resolve it. But of course, there is always the option of parting company – the choice is yours.
Pisces / February 19 – March 20
If family needs your attention and assistance then you will want to be there for them, so get ready to rearrange your schedule to do so. When it concerns money, if you do not hold the purse strings, you can at least have an influence on the decision makers, so don’t sit back and let someone else take total control. If you can give valuable advice, do so, but wait for the timing to be right, and ensure you have the other person’s full attention. Your natural instinct in life is to be idealistic and this standpoint serves you well, but right now, with work and business, if things don’t head in the direction you desire, it would be wise to have a plan B in place. Your love life also demands attention, and as love is very important to you, don’t spend all your time at the office. However, before giving your heart to anyone, ensure you have compatibility on a mind body and spirit level – all are important.
