ARIES (March 20-April 19)
Mercury joins Venus, Saturn and Mars in Virgo. For the past month, it has been love, fun and luck. Now you must get down to your daily work schedule. Organization is the key to keeping up. It is time to snap up what could become exciting opportunities. It is an excellent time to send out a resume or ask for a promotion. Join with others in your profession. Yes indeed, networking can bring great results. Chat with businesspeople. Hang out with your Leo friends. Theirs is the party sign.
TAURUS (April 19-May 20)
Mercury, the messenger of the gods, moves into your sister earth sign Virgo and joins Venus, the planet of love and money. Go ahead, entertain your friends. Luck, love and fun are all on your agenda while four planets take up residence in Virgo. Show your creativity. Host an open house or create a gourmet dinner. Later this month, you will have a real chance to shine. Watch out for the children. They can cost you money. It is back-to-school time. Take care of your chores. I know they may not be interesting, but some chores must be done.
GEMINI (May 20-June 20)
Allow yourself a little extra time. Responsibilities could crop up suddenly. This week, you may feel as though things do not work out as planned. Mercury joins Venus, Saturn and Mars in Virgo. Now this, my friend, brings a glow to the home front. You are busy with family issues. You may take on more responsibility around the home. Get focused on your obligations. Sometimes you may feel it is better to give than to receive. Now remember, dear little twin, August may not be your best month for travel. Take it easy on spending. Get estimates should you decide to do some sort of home improvement or redecorating.
CANCER (June 20-July 22)
Okay, little crab, it is time to get the crabmobile to the shop. Hire an expert. It will save you more money than if you do it yourself. This goes for any other problem on the home front. With four planets in your house of communication, this is your week to communicate. Let others know you are there. Mercury takes up residence in the communication department. You have the opportunity to improve your relationships with co-workers this week. You may or may not play politics at work, but some other people may. Remember, it pays to be nice, my friend.
LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)
Happy birthday. Okay, hush up and listen. Someone could share a surprising bit of information with you this weekend. This could be one of those weeks when you feel it is your duty to help someone else with a problem. This is the nature of you little kittens. Now a few of you may become aware of a far obstacle you may face in a relationship. Set boundaries and go on with your goals. Do not let your friends encourage you to spend more than you feel comfortable spending. Take time out and enjoy life. It is always fun to smile. Take some free time for yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)
Four planets are in your sign. Yes indeed, Mercury joins Venus, Saturn and Mars in Virgo. The plot thickens as the second new moon appears in your sign later this month, along with the sun. These new moons this month bring the best of both. You will have the opportunity to launch new projects. Believe in yourself, little Virgo. Have confidence in your decisions. You do not have to detail and analyze everything. Now, hold off if you get the urge to splurge. Remember your budget. Join your Leo friends as they celebrate their birthday month. You have an opportunity for fun.
LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
Make your plans. This is a great time to work behind the scenes. Mars moves into your sign next week. This will speed everything up. Sometimes you appear a little on the shy side, but Mars, the planet of action and energy, will certainly make you more open. You can talk about your dreams, hopes and wishes with others. Two new moons this month encourage you to share with others. This is a good time to plan for the future and clean up any loose ends. Speak up at work if you do not like what a co-worker does. Get out with friends over the weekend. It is time to have a little fun with others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)
I know, dear little Scorpio, money represents power and control. Pluto, the planet of power and big business, is your ruler. Once you understand Pluto, you can make wise choices about money. This is a busy month. Saturn piles on a few extra responsibilities. He encourages you to get organized. He also brings more responsibility. These are the lessons you learn and you will be rewarded for your hard work. Okay, we all know Scorpios have an agenda, and this is true when it comes to career matters. Your friends offer support to you. Venus visits Virgo in your relationship department. Join up with your Leo friends. Have fun.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Venus dwells in Virgo. Yes indeed, Venus improves relationships and your daily dealings with professional colleagues as well as clients. Now, dear little Sag, you have the greatest chance for success right now, so it is important that you center most of your attention there. Do not make any snap decisions, especially during the middle of the month. Your career department is loaded with planets—Saturn, Mars, Venus and Mercury. You may feel you are on shaky ground right now. When you get the rest of the information, you will feel fully informed. I know, you always want the facts. Take time off and help a Leo celebrate his birthday.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Pluto sends a wink to Mercury on Saturday. This indicates a time to communicate with the big-business folks. Share your higher knowledge. I know no other sign takes its work more responsibly than you do, dear little mountain goat. You are the sign that takes on the extra work. Get ready to make travel plans. A business trip could improve your business standing. Take the chance that can help you advance in the areas that are important while four planets sit in the higher-education section of your chart.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
While the sun travels into Leo, you want to deal with people in your house of relationships. Take a little time off. Spend it with your mate. You are the unique one. Get out of your everyday life and enjoy a unique place. Do not force projects. Do not give a project more time than you must. Remember, a full moon will be in your sign next week. As this week winds down, you could feel a little anxious. Sometimes we all feel the full moon up to four days before and as much as four days after the exact date. New friends could enter your life. Venus could bring a surprise later this week or early next week.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Take time off for yourself, little fish. Now watch others. They may test your patience. Stay out of power struggles. Avoid ego clashes. Remember, stubborn people often refuse to listen. Mercury sends a wink to Pluto. You get an opportunity to chat with the boss. Good for you. Maybe a bonus of some sort. As a water sign, you will feel a little antsy by the time Wednesday rolls around. Chill out. The full moon and lunar eclipse roll in on the 16th. Venus holds hands with Saturn. Oh my, little fish, I told you you could be rewarded for all your hard work. Team up with the Leo folks. Why not have a little fun?
