Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

Peace is the rallying call for our New Age; both on a global and personal level. Recognize that what you see expressed in your external world is a clear and accurate mirror of your internal state. There is simply no other place to go with this reflection so you might as well own it.

Then you can figure out what you need to be truly happy, and at peace. Mercury retrograde after the 20th can work in your favor as a quiet time and space to rework and refine a long held dream. Patience is the keyword, and persistence is the way.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

Remain constant and steady, Taurus. Any disturbances coming your way are simply clever but unimportant diversions. You will encounter several bumps in the road now, but keep your eye on the prize. Your power mantra for August is:  simple, sweet, and easy.

The real test of this month is not in how you respond to outlandish problems, it is how you maintain stability and achieve your long term goals. This is an opportune time to take a course and gain necessary new skills – the ones you have been thinking about for so long, but putting off doing.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

Your ability to negotiate and compromise will be tested the month, Gemini. It feels like everybody is getting what they want, but you are the facilitator. The important question then becomes: ‘to what degree are you an enabler?’ The Full Moon of August 24th sheds a bright light on how other people see you.

Thinking about a career change? This is a prime time for launching a new craft to sustain your long voyages. Your thoughts are a deep as the ocean, and your desires are moving through you like waves; prepare for a high tide which will inspire a new era for your life.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

Although your sign is one of a soft inside protected by a coat of armor, it’s now safe to let your guard down. Allow the energies of August 7th and 8th to penetrate you to the core. Cellular debris and memories can be swept away, and new imprints are calling for your acceptance.

The secret it that you must be open in a way that is uncomfortable; you just have to let go. And, the next part of this spiritual mystery is that you are so ready and able to take on this new level of vulnerability, because it is what will bring you to a point of great strength and power.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

Happy Birthday, Leo! I predict a fortuitous year ahead filled with sunny days and true friends. Your energy is free and clear, and you move into a sense of security with your ‘tribe,’ those people who may not be blood relatives, but are so much like you.

The hold up in your efforts towards free flow will be in regards to financial affairs. It’s best to face that big hassle now rather than try to sweep it under the carpet. Work on a new presentation regarding previous challenges. Then, you can release the past in a way that it cannot ever return to haunt you.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

Manifestation is sometimes easier said than done. Many of the self help gurus want to tell you how to do ‘it,’ yet they do not have mastery themselves. You are engaging a new era of personal power and creative ability.

Mercury is retrograde in your sign August 20 – Sept 13th – this is a long one, so remain strategic regarding your personal efforts. You may feel frustration regarding timing, and how to get your message across. Misunderstandings are not only possible, but likely. Use August to consolidate and refine; you are manifesting the base of your pyramid of power.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

It seems as though the Universe wants you in a different space, and that heaven and earth will rearrange their natural order to accommodate the change. The ‘space’ might be in your inner realm – how you feel; or, it will be your actual residence.

The good news is that you know exactly what is going on; there are no more hidden agendas or long suffering silences. Meet any challenges head on and with the full energy of your vitality and essence. A secret admirer reveals his or her presence now, enjoy the attention, because every once in a while the real thing come along.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

Use this month to synthesize your recent changes and take the opportunity to complete the crossword puzzle of recent months. Shift and flow with day to day events, and strive to make each day a radiant blossom.

Don’t allow events early in the month to distract you from living each day in the most peaceful and rich way that you can envision. Rather, enlarge your scope of what is possible for your life now. Even though it is mid- summer, do not waste the days in meaningless fluff; rather, take on a well defined project. Keep it light but stay focused, and your small gains grow into major strides.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

Freedom and your ability to fulfill your passions is on the front burner now, Sag. At first the hooks felt like those on a cat’s tongue- manageable and soft. But the kitty has grown into a full sized lion. The New Moon of August 9th in Leo is the purr-fect time to release your inner cat.

You simply cannot pretend that you don’t care. The Full Moon of August 24th illuminates your core values; it’s time to open the door and shed light on all that you have held inside. Mercury retrograde after the 20th is working to share your private life with the public, anyway.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

August is your month to move energy, Capricorn. If it’s fear that has been stalling your efforts, look it in the face and shift into high gear. You have a choice; move ahead like a funny car going in circles, or be a sleek drag racer ready to break records. The funny car is at risk of crashing into others; why not just take your place in the lineup of those moving towards a clear goal.

If it takes tunnel vision to find the light, put on your kaleidoscope glasses and focus on the prize. Perhaps it would be easier if you didn’t have to fulfill the process by taking action; but this is our lot as manifestors on earth. The best images are viewed in living color.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

You may feel a strange detachment this month; it’s as if you were watching your life from a vantage point. Befriend this curious state of mind, because it can hold the key to your manifestation of something very real and long lasting.

It is sometimes difficult to maintain balance when walking on the high mountain divide; one side is in the shadow and the other is of the Light. The power you need lies within your body, not your mind. Turn and face the shadow; it will grant you passage. Aquarians know many things; but now you become wise by incorporating what other people can teach you.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

Although your sign is often willing to ‘let go and let God’, this month you must step up to the altar of self determination; if you do not, somebody else will take it on and you may not like their choices. In fact, someone may sneak in the back door and try to claim your glory if you are not paying attention. This is something very dear that you have been working on for a long time!

There is also a financial opportunity coming into fruition; however, you must pay attention to every detail of any contract you sign. Best day to make this commitment is the 17th, before Mercury turns retrograde on the 20th.

---

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

Now that the details of your curious tapestry are beginning to unravel, at least you have some clues about what to do next. Timing is all important! Don’t delay on critical matters; but if it can ride a bit, let it be. Your new cloth will be woven with a fiber of unique color and texture which is unlike anything you have ever seen before.

You have a vision, yet some of the details are missing. Patience is not always a strong point with your sun sign, but this is a prime time for strategic observation. Decide whether you want to be a foot soldier or a general now. The soldier is open and vulnerable to injury by the 26th, while the officer gains advantage.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

Being a fixed sign, even your unconscious mind can be obstinate and slow to adjust to changes. However, did you feel the earth move last month, Taurus? A quite rumbling transformation is beginning to take shape in the far recesses of your being. These slow, long vibrations are the ones that in will make the most dramatic changes over time.

Like a tiny baby bird pecking its way out of an egg, Uranus has begun to make inroads into your quest for freedom. But, this egg is too tough to crack. Little Bird must create a structure for his or her new platform. This nest sits comfortably on a low hanging branch, just high enough to be safe from harm. The missing glue is found in your relationships with other like minded people; your birds of a feather.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

The recent eclipses have been messing with your mind, Gemini. Or, should I say your finances? Just when you thought you had the game figured out, the rules change once again. Here is a hot astrological tip on where the answer lies; it’s in your creativity and your commitment to follow your passion.

But first you must slay a fierce fear mongering dragon; that nasty one which has dogged you for so long now. And, here is one more secret: the dragon is tamed by speaking its name. Develop a relationship with this fearsome creature, and it will present you with the keys to unlock your dreams. There is no looking back now, but to think that you ever could was just an illusion.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

The winds of change are whispering into your ear like a slow and steady heartbeat moves inside your veins. Upon first glance all appears nonchalant, yet you have known for so long that this time would come; since a year ago, to be exact. Now, as if you were just a character in a stage play, your protagonist exits stage left and the curtain falls in preparation for Act II. With rapid pulse you anticipate your next cue.

All drama aside, the question becomes – how to get from here to there, that point of culmination. Patience, refinement, and attention to detail are my suggestions. The better you look on paper, the richer your upcoming rewards. You have surely paid your dues, Cancer. Now, create a beautiful container to hold the efforts of your hard work.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

Fertile ground is where your garden grows best. Pay attention to the seeds you are planting and be clear on your methods of cultivation. The solar eclipse of July 11th  asks you to have faith in the unknown. It also presents an opportunity to examine your life in terms of whom and what shows up. The question to ask is: ‘why did I create that?’ Otherwise, you end up pulling lots of weeds.

Venus is on your side this month as she glides through your money sector. A fine opportunity comes your way on the 13th. Seal the deal before the 23rd, but prepare for renegotiation by the 25th. Allow both business and personal partners to play their hand at this time. Hold your best cards in that secret garden and don’t reveal your buried treasure until you know the time is right.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

This is an awesome month for you, Virgo. You’re hot, sexy, and on fire (in a good way.) The solar eclipse of July 11th initiates a cosmic reset button in your sector of long term goals and even the group of people you wish to have as your companions in your journey through life. As you enter into this new era, stand back and take a look at what you have created so far on this grand tapestry of life, and get clear on how the next chapter should unfold.

You have a unique opportunity to set a template for your future, Virgo. Often is helps at times like this to write out a master plan. Loyalties will be called into question, so give careful thought about where yours lie, and think about your depth of commitment. But most of all, it’s summertime, so remember to feel the heat.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

Relief is delivered by a new era of clarity that has entered your life. It’s as though you have arrived at the mountain top now. Yes, there are unknown journeys and new mountains to climb, but you have come to a place where the landscape is coherent and there are flowers in sight.

And the fun part of this reward is the new people who will join your journey. Some are bossy, others unreliable, but each one brings a gift and adds richness to your life. It’s like the difference between night and day, or, a comparison working in the coal mines versus harnessing the free magnetic energy of our mother earth. You are defined by a new image, but there is no illusion; it’s the real you.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

Yours is the quintessential sign of mystery and drama; but what if you showed the world a different side? Thoughtful and wise; you are becoming one who is a ruler of his or her emotions rather than ruled by them. Because, really Scorpio, it has been the dark hidden emotions that have ruled you for so long.

Bring it all to the Light- your fears, your energy, and your consistency. You must embrace this new era of freedom and travel. Remember that the power of light first illuminates darkness, so when monsters appear you just keep moving. Motion and energy are great allies in your quest for liberation. Step into your body and up to the exercise mat – this is a great place to begin.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

If was only about money it would be easy, would it not, Sag? But finances are just the superficial layer to this one. You must first dig into your mind, and then go deeper; into your heart and soul. Perhaps even your gut is tied up into a ball of confusion. The good news is that help is on the way!

Communication is your great ally now.  Your ability to negotiate is a lever that helps you to power through the mud and lifts the muck. But, you must talk to the right person. So, if you have been kissing up to frogs, you need to find a prince, or better yet go straight to the king. He holds the goose that lays your golden egg.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

Pay attention to messengers this month, Capricorn. It seems as though everybody wants your ear, and your kind words. There is a grand opportunity coming your way, but you will have to act quickly to harvest the full benefit. You hear the heartbeat as soon as the 9th, you can see it by the 11th, and you must take action on the 13th.

Don’t let inconsistencies in relationships throw you off your game. You have been responding to the heartbeat of your own desires for some time now. Partnerships come and go, but dig deeply into your own inner nature and decide just how it really feels and respond accordingly. It’s a question of value; by Full Moon of the 25th you decide what it’s really worth.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

It’s a great time to manifest a real face to the dreams that you have held so dear. Find your favorite tools and get going. Neptune is still holding court in your sign, so think about navigational aids; a compass, oars, and a precision rudder. And, pack some fishing tackle for the ride, too. Palpable structures are coming into form and function.

The Full Moon of July 25th is in your sign, and this means it’s all about YOU. However, Saturn and Uranus present a compromise situation at this time. Deal with this by presenting your own strategic stall tactic, and do not be fooled by a grandiose promise.  You don’t have all the facts yet! See what they bring to the table by mid August.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

Surely life has brought you some splashes lately. Jupiter and Uranus have been dancing the cha-cha in your sector of value and self worth. The solar eclipse of July 11th pushes a grand reset button in your 5th house of children and creativity. Some of you will become parents, and some of you will become caretakers of your own aging parents. And some of you will be called to give life to a child of your hearts’ creation.

Whatever your personal calling now, the best news is that you are granted the blessing of assistance from helpers; it’s ok to ask for help because this is also your time to receive. Accept it graciously; you now have a steady shoulder to lean on.

---

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

Use this expansive month to your full advantage, Aries. You have a great clarity of mind to state your case, and the energy to see it through. The only thing is: there are no secrets now. Any awkward situations are bound to be illuminated and brought forth for address and redress.

But, you knew that was coming anyway, right? Look back into your family tree for delicate answers to difficult situations; the one problem that just keeps coming up and you cannot ever figure out why you always have to deal with it. The answer lies in your gene pool, and it is part of your karmic mission to resolve this once and for all.

In moving through and beyond the tough stuff, this is also a great month to tune into your mind-spirit connection through a vital and healthy body. Keep moving, and if you have been lax on the physical exercise front, now is the time to turn that wheel; one less notch on the belt brings you closer to a higher round on the evolutionary spiral.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

As evidenced in the news every day, and the lives of almost everyone you know, the planets are in a dynamic phase of evolutionary motion. And of course your life is no exception; but I feel a sense of peaceful power within your astrology this month. It may be merely a case of ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going.’ You have every reason to stay grounded and calm, Taurus. And, even, to take extra effort in self nurturing. Your planetary ruler Venus, goddess of beauty sends first an opportunity, and next a challenge your way to experience her luxury.

The next question of course becomes: is she also bringing cash? Well, actually Venus and friends are bringing you some great creative ideas and the wherewithal to harvest a just reward. The secret is to keep your life in the comfort zone now. Nobody or nothing should cause you to deny your great inner truth and dignity. We are all assured of change in the upcoming months; but you can be a grounding cornerstone of the new world that is being birthed.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

Although it’s not always available to purchase, information is a valuable commodity. Knowledge is the key to understanding, and you can now cultivate the wisdom to resolve those tangled knots of micro data that have been so confusing. Oh, NOW you get the whole story! That’s better, right? At least you know what’s going on and can better figure out how to deal with it.

The New Moon of June 12th in your sign will assist you in fitting all of the puzzle pieces together. Some things simply have to change, and now is an opportune time to initiate a new plan. Although yours is generally considered a youthful sign, you may feel the weight of time and the burden of a shift in your long range plans.

And, a longing for your tribe may send you far from home before this year ends. Like your opposite sign Sagittarius, you are a seeker and now set to embark on a magical journey. Keep truth as your mainstay, and honor your thirst for divine inspiration.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

Pay attention to every detail this month, Cancer; the Universe is speaking to you every day in that special language of symbols and random messages. Answers to your every question will be forthcoming; the secret of course is to remember to ASK. Consider getting an intuitive reading on the 10th or 11th this month. It’s time, and the unseen world has an urgent message for you now.

If you are unattached, I know what’s on your mind. And, yes, soon your long awaited prince or princess rolls out of the magic carpet much like Cleopatra if it has not happened already. It’s a matter of timing joined by opportunity plus awareness. With a winning combo like that you are bound to get it right. However, this is also a critical time for discretion.

Use all of your senses this month and go with your gut instincts. Believe it the first time when somebody reveals who they really are. Also remember that flattering words and flowers are no excuse for bad behavior.  There is someone longing for your companionship, and he or she is the real deal, not an impostor.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

Go forth and conquer, Leo. Mars is finally cooperating with your aspirations, and lord knows you have put in time on networking and laying a cornerstone for success. Now it’s time to go for the overview and think about long range plans. What is your next endeavor? In what way would you recreate the blueprint of your life plan? These are the questions, and the answers are forthcoming.

We are entering an era of new solutions to old problems. Some of you will make a sudden left turn and move abroad; others will journey to a different kind of fertile ground. Be prepared and mentally ready to take swift action when the time comes. I predict that you will receive a calling very soon and that there is really no good reason to delay acting upon your inspiration.

Your mind will balk at this idea, thinking it unruly and unrealistic. Instead of grandiose excuses what you need is a solid game plan. This is your magical month for inspiration, so open your heart to all it has to offer.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

How do you feel about your new leadership role, Virgo? There is a special couture that comes with your position, too; as a detail person that is best left to your discretion. What is most wonderful is that you have the support you need to put this all together.

The nagging detail is that the financial rewards will be interminably slow. However, with time, the slow trickle will turn into a solid cash flow - you just have to be patient. Now it probably just looks like more responsibility; but have no doubt that all is in perfect timing and ultimately will be a great benefit to you. June is a month of harvest for you. Often we are so used to working constantly that we forget to enjoy the fruits of our efforts.

Take time to relish your accomplishments and celebrate with your family because one of your little baby birds is ready to take wing and fly. Children and loved ones also have special messages for you now; listen carefully, and enjoy the times you have together.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

As a cardinal, or action starting sign, Libra is one of the sun signs that others will look to for leadership in the months ahead. Even if you don’t feel like you have it together, people are hoping that you do, and will be asking you to help them. Such is the nature of our times, and you can hold onto the idea that if you want to learn something well the quickest way to do so is to teach it.

Where I’m going with this is: it’s time to share your secrets and your knowledge, and doing so will impart wisdom in your own life. If you do not heed this call the unruly winds of change that are being generated by Uranus and Jupiter entering your solar 7th house will stir the pot and cause chaos. To avoid this, you must confront your fears and embrace your shadow.

The thing is, most people already have an intuitive hit about your shadow anyway. Why not just let it out in the open to give it a little Light? The dark side of your shadow has a bright and beautiful silver lining of radiance and self expression, and the best time to bring it to the Light is NOW.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

Think in terms of tools now, Scorpio. You must move quickly to add form and function to the new vibration that you have finally allowed into your life. Consolidate quickly and move into mastery; and if you’re not sure which way to go, pick ONE and act like you have it all under control. The rest will follow as you move ahead.

Although yours is a water sign, taking time to get grounded in the earth element is critical now. A prime area of mastery is the vast domain of your subconscious mind. Learn to communicate with this vital inner child part of yourself; he or she will serve you with joy. The inner child loves recognition and rewards. Disciplined writing serves you well now, too. You have to address some delicate negotiations this month, but move ahead with integrity and take comfort in speaking your truth.

Seize the day, if you don’t someone else will. You have come too far to allow laxity a place in your world. Keep your eye on the prize.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

Happiness and living in the present may seem like an oxymoron at times. Pure consciousness, or living in the present is touted as a path to peace, yet the constant unyielding pressure of Saturn and Pluto seem to deny your desire for simplicity.

I daresay just when you hoped things were going to ease up that they have intensified. You are being given the opportunity to add the gift of depth to your arsenal of soul qualities. Or, rather, being called to do so, and resistance is futile. Actually, there is nothing to overcome, nor is anything moving to overpower you. You are shifting into a new level of personal power which will usher in an era of peace and fulfillment; it just may not feel that way at this time.

Sagittarius is a sign noted for easily speaking the truth and freedom, but it is easier when everybody knows the rules of the game. In these days of rapid change, the playing fields can shift in the blink of an eye. Play well and to the best of your ability; and remember there IS a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

Building and placing structure comes naturally to you, so any resistance that you are experiencing now has an emotional basis. You can choose evolution or revolution, but which ever you prefer, get clear on whom or what is doing the choosing.

Pressure and stress from the planets can funnel you into a place of unconsciousness and choices based on trauma from the past. Instead, why not check in daily with your loving Higher Self; that part of you which will always lead you to a path of nurturing. In short, although much of life may appear to be swirling and moving ahead at warp speed; don’t allow this to ruffle your center of gravity.

The New Moon of June 12this a perfect time to initiate a new health plan; you will experience almost instant results. You want to look great for that new relationship which is just around the corner! If already attached, set the stage for a renewal of love and affection. Your calm demeanor is a gift to us all.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

Shocking information is the key phrase for the days ahead, Aquarius. You are tough, so this is easy, right? It’s never easy when delicate matters must be revealed through the harsh light of truth. We are all being called to manifest the highest purpose of our Sun signs now, and yours has to do with the way in which you break down structures that limit freedom and equality. The secret to your success is how well you set up new structures to replace the ones you wish to dismantle.

The New Moon of June 12th opens a door to your fondest dream. What have you always wished for? Are you ready to make it a reality? Invite this wish into your life because it longs to take form now. Next, prepare yourself for the ghosts that come out of the closet with the Full Moon of June 26th. Only you can give them a final resting place and ultimately bring the whole issue to peace. And, this peace unlocks your true freedom.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

You’re on a roll, Pisces. Just a tweak here and there sets the stage for your financial success. Work quickly and harvest the rewards while Jupiter moves through your solar 2nd house of money, value, and self worth between now and July 10th. Things will still be good after that, but use this 6 week time period to lay plans for the rest of this year. Paint your future in bright broad strokes and fill in the details later.

Truly, I understand the sacrifices you have made to get where you are. Kabbalah teaches that the soul mission of Pisces is really to solve problems through service and devotion. Deep inside the heart of every Piscean heart is a longing that can be filled only by immersion in the sea, and even our oceans are troubled these days.

So, you must remember to nurture yourself with those people who feed your soul; your children and family, your best friends, and your true tribe. If you don’t renew periodically you will become depleted on a very deep level. Keep your eye on the prize, and remember to consistently choose the one that is really right for you.

---

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

I have a feeling that yours will be one of the happiest Sun signs to experience Mercury regaining direct motion on the 11th. Thankfully he moves quickly past the shadow of his previous motion by the end of May and you can finally make some headway. In the meantime, use this month to reorganize your finances.

Careful examination will reveal a critical area which needed your attention. You cannot be too detailed, and if you set things up correctly now they will serve you well for a long time. Events of the 19th and 20th are just a precursor of good things to come; you may be called upon to make a swift decision. Remain clear on where you stand, and be ready to do the right thing.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

All of the effort you have been applying to your new image can yield a payoff by Full Moon on May 27th. This is a great month to work on harvesting rewards, Taurus; both financial gains and major personal strides are possible. But, to claim the prize you must walk into that dark closet and turn on the light. Your challenge lies in confronting the boogeyman and calling his bluff.

Pick just one thing you wish to really and truly transform, and work on it diligently. You can make that change now, permanently. The door to your intuition is being made ready to open, also. Over the upcoming months your impressions of the physical world will soften and you can walk on the earth with a heightened awareness of the unseen realms. We all know that this other world is there anyway; and now you see it ever more clearly.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

I know you are still digging out with a shovel and pick axe, Gemini. Take heart and know that sometimes life is just curious and you are a master of inquisitiveness. But think about the good things, too!  For example, you are poised to hit a home run on the career front.

If you can overcome nervous tension zapping your energy, you might look around and notice that opportunities lie in your path just waiting for you to harvest them. But, you must dig through some rubble to clear the way. It seems to have matter and size, but the real weight that is holding you down now is that of your mental processes. Some of those old beliefs just need to be dug out and removed. Treasure your discomfort as a handy – dandy Universal cleanup crew.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

Really Cancer, if you were a hen you might lay an egg. This is how the planetary energy of the New Moon on May 13th develops; it literally erupts with potential for new life. Do you have your vision ready? This type of energy begs for direction and delegation. Be ready to take action on the path of your highest dream. But you must work as if your life depended on the fruits of your labor; the egg business demands long hours.

The good news is that helping hands are plentiful as well as generous. Assistance is everywhere, you just need to be aware and organize the helpers. Crabs move quickly when necessary; this is one of those times when efficacy is of the highest value and worth any pric

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

Mastery is a broad term, yet one which demands precision and excellence of effort. Embrace this call to refine and rework a recent project. Although it seems tedious, this work in progress is at a critical stage now. Your financial houses are begging for a clean sweep. Each astrological sign has recently had a unique set of stressful conditions and issues. Yours has to do with value of your work and exchange of money for services.

Some of you have already benefited from an infusion of unexpected Jupiterian good luck; others of your sign will do so this month. It all comes together after the New Moon of May 13th and before 1st quarter moon of the 20th. Be vigilant regarding opportunities; like a bubble in a gentle breeze, the big one floats by softly on the wind and may be hard to catch. But the prize is worth the effort.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

As if you are completing a giant cosmic puzzle, the next piece falls easily into place and you breathe a sigh of relief. Yes, there are stressors and tensions to deal with, but you can relax with certain insight that on a very deep level your life has moved into a new phase of security and success.

Stay on the higher ground when you must choose between wasted times vs. small gains. Slow and steady effort makes for grand strides when looking at the big picture. The 1st key is to keep moving. May is your month to take a workshop and open the door to a new skill or interest; this opens the door with the 2nd key which is to integrate your new skill into something that brings you joy.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

It feels like everybody needs you this month, Libra. Take it as a complement when you are called at midnight to solve those urgent problems; just remember that somebody cares enough to think of you, and bless the gift of the present. Your input is a key that unlocks many doors now. The secret here is to check in with yourself and confirm that these problems are not just a reflection of your own inner angst.

Use your natural talent for negotiation to find balance for yourself and others. Mercury returning to direct motion on the 11th is good cause for a celebration, but wait, if possible, until the end of this month to finalize commitments. Your life just may look very different after the 20th than it did on May Day.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

May is a month of nuance and subtlety, Scorpio. Look to partners and interested others for assistance on your straight and narrow path now. You are piloting the craft of your life through a tender place of depth and deserve every bit of help you can muster. And make no mistake; your financial strength is a reflection of your power.

Call it a frustration or a revelation, but whatever you name it, the bottom line is that you must depend upon the input of others to sustain and secure your earning power. If your financial boat is already unsinkable, expect to be called upon to allocate some of that which you have so carefully nurtured. Remember, even the Lone Ranger had need of a reliable sidekick and good horses.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

The core issue now is your level of satisfaction. I mean real, honest, down to the bone how do you REALLY feel about things, Sagittarius. Remember, yours is a sign of truth and this means that you can only put off the soul level directive of following your rainbow for short periods. Then, either spring turns into summer, or all hell breaks loose.

The deeper question now is: how to get to where you’re going and maintain integrity with full value, which also addresses the bottom line of your earning power. Time as you know is an irreplaceable commodity; but you also realize that people cannot really be bought or sold. Actually, keep this in mind when you ask questions; the answer is found through evaluation of all costs.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

You remain a cornerstone to your friends and social community, Capricorn. Somebody has to keep it together! Who better than you?  This powerful earth based month harmonizes well with your Sun sign; cultivate peaceful energy by spending quality time in your garden, or with art and music. The field has been plowed and is now being tilled to refine your seeding ground.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 27th illuminates your 12th house of karma and collective destiny. This house also allows for time to fulfill a perfect ending which in turn opens the door to new beginnings. To stand on this threshold of destiny you must confront ghosts from your past. Make note of the appearances, some will be visions you least expect. However, resolution of these relationships and issues will unquestionably open the door to a bright new future.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

Can you feel the air of anticipation that surrounds you, Aquarius? It’s as if the ethers are charged with electricity from your ruling planet, Uranus. Use this month to finish up some details and prepare a foundation for your future. A solid and secure base of operations provides a launch pad for all that you wish to create.

Perhaps the challenges of the recent past have caused you to disconnect a bit from being grounded and present; check in with your inner core. This is a great month to spend time touching the earth and connecting with loved ones. Strengthening and refining your inner self will immediately shape up any exterior difficulties which may be present. Some of you will even find a new home where you nurture your deep inner core self.

Not sure about signing on the bottom line; remember the rules of Mercury retrograde and if possible wait until the end of this month. Monday the 24th is a good day to make that commitment; by then you will know for sure, and be ready.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

You must feel as though you are ready for some peaceful R&R, Pisces. With both Uranus and Jupiter in your sign the pace has been hectic, and sometimes having too much fun feels just like work. The key word that ties things together this month is: ‘adjustment.’ As a mutable sign, adaptation is one of your specialties and you generally take unforeseen changes in stride.

However, you cannot escape having to outsmart a Wiley Coyote from time to time. These dogs are just messing with your mind, but they like to make a grand show of it. Do not let any detractors devour the child of your creativity which is ready to burst forth. Think deeply and choose carefully between what you want and what you need. The ‘needs’ are calling he plays now; take care of business and soon you have much more of what you want.

---

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

In keeping with true spring fashion, the key phrase for this month is ‘in with the new and out with the old.’ This is your month for consolidation and solid gains. Thinking about investments? Now is an excellent time to take that step. In practical matters, Aries you have the Midas touch.

It’s the things that are not so straightforward that are vexing. Hidden agendas are always difficult to fathom; especially when somebody expects you to read their mind! There is always an answer, although sometimes it is not clear where to look to find it. That old concept of projection is working its magic through smoke and mirrors. Although this problem seems to be about the other person, in this instance the real answer lies within.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

Mercury retrograde in your sign from April 17th to May 11th presents you with a chance to fix that one thing that has been nagging for a while now. Maybe it’s about that diet or exercise routine you have been putting off for so long. Some of you may decide it’s time for a wardrobe upgrade and new hairdo. What is it that is personal only to YOU?

And, what have you been avoiding for so long? Now is your time to align with the cosmic clock of self improvement and do something about it. In keeping with the inner workings of Mercury, to turn away from this inner/outer work will stir up the typical retrograde issues; you will be going nowhere fast. Otherwise, just take it slow this month, Taurus. Unlike past months when I have advised getting out and networking, this time around I suggest lying low to observe and refine the fruit of your recent efforts.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

It’s a tight little space that sits between the rock and a hard place. And, just like the confinement of a birth canal, you want to get out of there! Graciously the stars are moving you forward with a gentle but persistent undulation; there are just a few details that need to be taken care of. And, the details are the other part of this story. Pluto and Saturn in retrograde motion are demanding excellence in your state of affairs from the bottom up and the inside out. These frustrations of duty and obligation are God’s hand working in your life.

One of the challenges of Gemini is go gain depth; and I know that you are now becoming a deep diver. With your ruling planet also retrograde April 17 – May 11 think of this as a time to plant seeds and nurture the garden for new growth. These planets are like the edge of diamond cutters tool, and you are a beautiful gem that is being slowly refined and polished to reveal your splendor.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

It’s all coming together, Cancer. Mars is finally doing his thing in your financial sector, and Jupiter is humming along in your solar 9th house of wisdom and leverage. The secret to using this energy positively is get in touch with Universal Law and understand how you now must release your power. The season of your withdrawal is coming to a close; and keywords for your new life are integrity, social justice, and effectiveness.

You are being called upon to step out of your shell and nurture a group of people. Each of you will find your tribe and unique calling, but know that you are being called. This is also an opportune time to enroll in a class which helps you fine tune that one area that needs more attention; take a moment to identify the missing link, and proceed to replace it.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

What appears to be a financial setback is more of a correction that will eventually prove to be a benefit, Leo. As one of the fixed signs on the astrological cross of matter, there is no doubt that you have had your share of challenges over the recent months. Now you are being asked to trust on the deepest level.

Make a note of the wisdom in Aesop’s fable titled ‘The Lion and the Mouse.’ In this story the mighty lion is freed from binding ropes by his most humble acquaintance, a small mouse. I predict that your fetters will soon be shattered through a similar experience; at a time, place, and in a manner you least expect.

The Lion is brave, but like the leopard, he does not like to change his spots. With Mercury retrograde April 17 – May 11th, this is not the opportune time to sign contracts. It is however, a good time to think about making some changes.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

You are a champion problem solver, Virgo. And, Kabbalah teaches that your sign has the power to purify and cleanse the world of its problems and imperfections. To do this on a personal level, you must change your future by returning to your past. It is when you examine your past circumstances and face the same challenge with a new set of behaviors that you invoke soul purification, which is the promise of your Sun sign.

The New Moon of April 14th opens a door to your 8th solar house of transformation and emotional depth. The 8th is also a house where we harness our desires and put them to productive use. So, what is it that you truly WANT, Virgo? Where is your heart’s desire? In this time of self examination you will be presented with an opportunity to heal an old wound. And, as we move into a new age, we all need a fresh start.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

This is your time to reach out, Libra. Meet new people and reconnect with old friends to gain maximum benefit of April’s energies. Not only will you enjoy some great conversations, but this is also the vehicle for your financial gains. Just think, Libra, it’s time to practice what you do best – interacting with others.

April is also a critical month to repackage your ‘tool kit,’ those skills and strategies which will assist you in your next step. Between taking classes and social networking, you look mighty busy! Mercury retrograde April 17 – May 11th has some surprises in store and you may be pleasantly reminded of a source of forgotten funds; or if your fate lands on the other side of this coin, of a forgotten debt. It’s all in keeping accord with the cosmic balance, and that, Libra, is your astrological role.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

You have waited patiently and performed your due diligence, Scorpio! Now comes your break in the weather; it’s time to set sail. The placement of Mercury holds the key to your fortunes, Scorpio. Mercury tells us that you will yet fulfill some relationship soul contracts. This may be short term, but it is the one missing puzzle piece.

While you’re at it, how about devoting a healthy dose of self nurturing to your own life? Then it’s like fulfilling two harvests within one time period. Be good to your friend(s) and be especially good to yourself. This applies an especially delicious frosting to your big ole Scorpio cake. And yes, you can have it and eat it, too!

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

The planets are guiding you down a garden walkway to fulfillment now, Sag. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and take the next step. No need to look too far ahead, although I know this is part of the Sagittarian nature.

The road has been rocky for us all lately, and even though your avatar centaur has four feet instead of two, we have all been challenged by boulders on the path of life. Consistent even effort is your fast track to success now.

Even though you are looking ahead, keep in mind that the Full Moon of April 28th lights up your shadowy solar 12th house. Often old friends show up when this happens. Expect to see a face from the past this month. Hopefully it’s not a scary ghost! They are known to appear at the worst time sometimes. Just pay attention, and figure out how to release it because now you are one step closer to truly being free.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

Some of you will be moving to a new home this month; and if you have already done so, this is the time to go for improvements and making the new digs spectacular. While you’re gauging how to make the home just to your liking, think of it as a foundation for your entire life. The house is just an exterior representation of your new core identity, and that is where the true revolution lies.

Like the unfolding wings of a new butterfly, you are transforming deeply and will emerge in accord with the energies of spring and the development of the seasons. This is a mystical process for such a grounded and earthy sign. Have you considered consigning your wisdom to a book of life? That is next, you know; writing or otherwise sharing your unique point of view. The Hawaiian shamanic tradition of Huna teaches that to access our subconscious mind we must first relax our intestines. So, take a deep breath, and fill your belly; it’s all good from here on out.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

This is a perfect month to spend time out in nature and connect with the earth, the trees and the flowers. Questions are answered and plans can be made. Are you ready to step forward with the full wisdom of your inner and outer being?

Mercury retrograde mid month can be a great benefit to you now. The winged messenger planet delivers a critical missing piece if you only pay attention to and be patient. Remember the importance of appreciating the journey as much as the destination.

Although traditional Mercury retrograde advice about not signing contracts applies this month, don’t hold back on your pursuit of success. Truly this is a month of new beginnings and quick fulfillment. The New Moon of April 14th seeds your fertile foundation, and on the 28th, the Full Moon highlights your 10th house of career and professional standing. The grand prize is available to you now; seize it while the door is open.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

The stars are preparing for a giant exhale in June, and you are now in a preparation phase of stillness and calm. When you live in peace and nurturance, you are divinely protected and guided. However, if you choose chaos and pollution, you will stir up residue from a time long ago. You will see very clearly how and where you fit in the grand scheme of life.

This is a key month for you, Pisces. As Saturn and Uranus dance in a grand cosmic interplay, your heart may experience a tug of nostalgia. These two planets now engage your life through the conflict of personal freedom versus commitments and hard work. However, the Full Moon of April 28th brings great fulfillment and grants you the benefit of leverage. Find that peaceful space between the waves of motion; therein lies your vision, and your answer.

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

It’s said that good luck is preparation joined with timing. I see you with both qualities, plus a little bit of magic, Aries. Look upon your life as a field waiting to be tilled and planted. Choose carefully now, because you are in a position to sow seeds that will nurture you for many years to come. This is also your time reconciliation and healing of lingering wounds. This month has a curiously timeless quality which assists you in cleaning up your past as you hurtle towards your future. And, the best way to keep your bearings is to stay focused on the present. Appreciation of the arts, music and other finer things in life will nurture your soul. March is also a great month for that self improvement project you have been putting off for so long –getting some regular exercise is a great way to start.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

Continue with your networking program, Taurus. With so many planets in your solar 11th house, it’s much about ‘who you know’.  Astrologer Dane Rudhyar explained the 11th house as the place where your ‘star of destiny becomes a vibrant source of power in actual operation!’ Other key words are: activated and concrete power. Wow, do you get the idea, now? With this in mind, the New Moon of March 15th opens the curtains for your debut onto a new stage. It’s wise to run a quick quality check on the ego, and to center your heart in the land of pure intention. Venus in Aries after the 8th provides form to a ghost from your past; do not take the bait of retribution. It’s much better to grant a pardon and move on.  Next, think of revolution as yet one more round on the spiral of evolution.  Prepare to step on board for the ride of a lifetime, Taurus.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury is known for  speed and agility- both of which serve you well this month, Gemini. Everything is just moving so FAST! There are just a couple of pot holes in your fast track to success; one of them being the dear price you must pay to move ahead. Do you feel as though you have to work all the time just to keep up? Saturn and Pluto are acting like dogged tax collectors in your life now, Gemini. Don’t let these hounds feast on your dwindling vitality. A better plan is to learn how to delegate, and get very good at it. Strangely, this makes everybody happier, especially you.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

If only you could bottle up all of the frustration and market it! Being a cardinal or action starting sign, you have a low tolerance for having to wait for the cosmic clock to strike a chord that brings on your next big adventure. However, now you must simply take a deep breath and allow events to unfold as they are supposed to do. In the meantime, you feel as though you are called upon to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. This is hard work for somebody who longs for a simple night at home after frolicking under the moon. It’s all coming together nicely, Cancer. After the 10th you feel a subtle shift, and by the 29th you know it was all worth the wait.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

Life has no doubt taken on a new intensity, Leo. With several planets in your solar 8th house of depth and empowerment, your life is curiously entwined with others. Yet there is an unmet longing for total freedom. The secret lies in recognizing and utilizing the strengths that other people bring to your life. This requires surrender, but it opens the doors to reward and fulfillment. Breaking down inner barriers sometimes requires the handiwork of a pick axe and shovel. But, it can also be as simple as the undulation of a child on a swing. The deepest question is regarding what you set up as your legacy. It’s time to let go of all that does not fulfill your longings. And remember that this empty space will soon be filled with the fruit of your fondest dreams.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

Look deeply into the crystal ball for a bright vision of your financial future, Virgo. Although it may seem cloudy and grey, a bright rainbow is shining just beyond the clouds. As in alchemy, your manifestation must have a ‘prima matera,’ or primal matter, which then undergoes transformation. Your vehicle for changing lead into gold is through partnerships. The New Moon of March 15th blasts open the doors to our 7th house of relationships. And remember, this 7th house addresses both personal and professional affiliations.  There are rich shiny nuggets in your field of experience now, but they may look like dark coal. Your work is to apply your vision and flawless execution to reveal the Light of this opportunity.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

Any good organization moves along a powerful infrastructure, and yours is no exception. It feels like your inner guidance system is on strike now, but actually this is time for reevaluation and consolidation. Try to stand back and look carefully at what is going on. And ask pertinent questions, such as: who is really on your side, what have you done that didn’t work, how did it help or hinder you? If you can peel away old emotional patterns and get to the real issue, you will proceed with clarity and new inspiration. The New Moon of March 15th presents a multitude of tools to open your box of dreams, the Full Moon of the 29th reflects on how well you use them.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

In today’s fast paced world, a child need not be an actually baby, rather it can be a product of your creativity – that which you have been waiting to give birth to for so long now. It’s time to get the name book out, Scorpio, because this baby wants to come out into the world. And, she’s got all the right tools; talent, charisma, charm, a wealth of knowledge. Plus this baby has great big loving mama or daddy - YOU. The New Moon of March 15th is your signal to release that egg of potential and show the world just what you’ve got. The Full Moon of the 29th spits out lingering negative ghosts; this will be most interesting to watch from a safe vantage point. Just like in New Orleans – you can ask ‘who dat!’  And now you have an answer.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

So, how do you really FEEL about that, Sag? Circumstances develop this month that bring you to answer deeply personal questions. Sometimes these issues bring us to our knees. The good thing about being on our knees is that is it allows us to see things from a different perspective. The core of Sagittarian bravado is a tender heart; perhaps yours has been tossed about lately. If nurtured with proper growing conditions and watered with love, this heart is ready to blossom like a rose. Your senses of dignity and trust can open wide this month, and the fruit is finding that sweet spot of peace and joy.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

The seeming impasse of recent months is on a fast track to completion now. It can be enticing to revisit our wounding scenarios, even if only to evaluate how you would handle it differently; however this is a luxury you cannot afford. Just as the ocean hosts a wealth of marine life, your mind is a fertile ground which nurtures your potential for a rich life. Circumstances related to your home and family on the 10th leave you wondering if the price extracted from your soul is worth the reward. It’s up to you to make is so; cozy up with a good book on home decorating or cooking and invite a few friends over. This is what feeds that longing inside and makes you happy.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

You deserve financial support in your mission to unveil the future, Aquarius; so strike while the iron is hot! Jupiter rolls out a verdant royal carpet of opportunity between now and the end of May. Trust the genius in ideas that come your way mid month. The planets are pouring the nectar of brilliance into your receiving cup; you need only add the flavor or refinement which can be done by your hand alone.  Blessed relief comes from challenging negotiations after the 20th. The path is cleared on the 11th, but there are still details which need to be finalized – be patient but also concise. Know where you stand with your bottom line, and do not go beyond your limits.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

Wow, Pisces; yours is the home of an amazing stellar lineup now. Remember that what we focus on is what increases, so be very clear about what you want more of. The New Moon of March 15th is in your sign; think of this day as the opening note of a grand new symphony. Truly, it can all come together in perfect timing and with harmony. The trick lies in compliance with limitations imposed through partnerships. This is a delicate high wire which requires you to walk a path of balance. A confusing situation which seems impossible on the 18th and 20th resolves successfully after the Full Moon of the 29th.
