HOROSCOPE

Moon alert: We have the all clear to shop and do business. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21 — April 19) Today: Fair Venus moves opposite your sign, which means that for the next three weeks, you will be charming, diplomatic and smooth with everyone. In particular, relations with partners and close friends will be enriched.

Sunday: People might surprise you with unusual suggestions. They might also be speaking a mile a minute, which also amazes you. Alternatively, you might pepper others with wild ideas and questions because your mind is working fast!

This week: This week, the new moon is in your seventh house, which is about marriage, committed relationships and friendships. This is your best chance all year to study these relationships, which ironically, are based on your beliefs about your relationships. For example, if you believe others only want something from you, you will attract takers. We subconsciously seek out the very people who confirm our beliefs about relationships and our ability to be loved. If you want different relationships, change your beliefs.

Taurus (April 20 — May 20) Today: For the next three weeks, you will find that relations with co-workers will improve. You might also want to make your workplace feel more attractive. In fact, while you’re at it, you will want to do something to pump your health!

Sunday: Your work routine will be interrupted because of something unexpected. Or you might be interrupted because your own mind is scattered and you keep going off in different directions. Equipment failure is classic today.

This week: The new moon takes place in the part of your chart about your job and your health. We all know how much our health is connected to our attitudes. Your happiness can be tied to your health. Your work habits are important, too. They either help you achieve or get in the way. If you try to work by doing as little as possible, you will feel overworked. If you’re gung-ho, you’ll feel satisfied.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: Venus moves into your fellow air sign, which promotes social connections for you. In the next three weeks, flirtations, vacations, sports events and social diversions will delight. “I’m too busy to write in my diary!”

Sunday: This is a mildly accidentprone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Meanwhile, social occasions could be cancelled or changed. Do whatever you can to avoid sports injuries today. Yes, it’s a crapshoot!

This week: The new moon takes place in the part of your chart about romance, the arts, leisure activities, creativity and children. Creation, procreation and recreation. What kind of people do you attract romantically? Is there a pattern to your love life? Are you your own worst enemy? What is your relationship with children? Do you value your creative talents? Do you give yourself enough play time or vacations? When is the last time you had a vacation? These are things to ponder this week.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22) Today: The next three weeks are an excellent time to entertain at home. You will love to make your home more attractive. Real estate might be profitable in this window of time as well.

Sunday: Something will interrupt your home routine. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Someone you least expect might knock at your door. Family discussions will be boisterous and unpredictable.

This week: Home and family are important to you, and this is where this week’s new moon affects your sign. What makes you feel safe at home? Is it the stuff you own? Is it your family? Are you being a martyr to a family member? Ultimately, your home is your refuge and your support. Is there anything that gets in the way of this? Do you limit your options now because of the beliefs from your childhood? Don’t look back — you can only go forward.

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22) Today: You will charm everyone in the next three weeks because Venus has moved into your house of communications. This bodes well for those who market, sell, teach, act and obviously those who write, because you can make money from your words.

Sunday: Your mind is going in many directions, which is why you might feel unfocused. On the upside, you might dream up some genius-like ideas. Likewise, your routine might be interrupted because of your own indecisiveness or the fact you’re sidelined by others.

This week: The new moon takes place in the part of your chart that focuses on your daily rou- tines and your communications with others. Do you feel disappointed in siblings and relatives? Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment. Too often we expect others to read our minds. Sorry, they can’t read your mind. Furthermore, if you don’t communicate, you’re cutting yourself off from others, especially from getting their support.

Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22) Today: For the next three weeks, Venus will travel through one of your money houses, which encourages you to think of ways to boost your earnings. But it will also encourage you to spend your money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones.

Sunday: Keep an eye on your money and your possessions because things are unstable. You might find money; you might lose money. Likewise, guard your possessions against loss or theft. Be careful of spontaneous purchases because you might regret them later.

This week: This new moon takes place in the part of your chart about money — most especially, your attitude about money. For example, if you think money is the root of all evil, you won’t hang on to it for very long. You might also secretly think you don’t deserve much wealth. Take some time to examine your attitudes to money, which very likely came from your family. Remember: Your attitude to anything will affect the way it manifests in your life.

Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22) Today: Your ruler is the planet Venus. Today it moves into your sign for three weeks. This is excellent! It increases your desire to relate to others and fills you with good feelings for everyone.

Sunday: This is an impulsive day. It’s impossible to say what might happen because anything out of the blue could change your course of action. Random, crazy ideas might pop into your mind. Out-of-the-box thinking can lead to genius or Daffy Duck.

This week: The only new moon in your sign all year is taking place. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself how you can improve your image. Can you change your hair or your clothing to look better? What about your personality? Do you smile? Are you happy to see others? Do you avoid people? The way you feel about people is the image you project.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21) Today: In the next three weeks, you will be inclined to seek solitude in beautiful surroundings. Your privacy will matter. Of course, so will comfort and good food because you’re not going to do a monastic retreat. You just want to get the feel of things before your birthday.

Sunday: This is a restless day! Just go with the flow. Everyone feels this way because Mercury is imposed by wacky Uranus. It’s a crapshoot. As this day unfolds, it will continue to take detours.

This week: It’s tricky because the new moon is taking place in a hidden part of your chart: the 12th house. And for all astrologers, the 12th house is a challenge. It concerns your subconscious from an early age up to the present. It deals with your secret feelings and it can show how you can be your own worst enemy. The behaviour patterns that you have that are self-defeating — these are 12th House habits! But any of these habits can be changed, but not overnight. A change has to begin very small and be applied daily.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21) Today: You will be more social in the next three weeks because Venus is changing signs. You will find yourself more involved with creative, artistic people — and you will love it. You love to seek ways to push the sides of the envelope so that you can get more out of life.

Sunday: A friend might amaze you (especially someone younger). They might say something outrageous or just too modern for you. On the other hand ( you have different rings), they might have some way-out ideas that excite you.

This week: The new moon this week takes place in the part of your chart that is about friendships and your social consciousness. This is the time to consider your friendships. Do you hang out with quality people? This is important because your friends will influence your way of thinking, and your way of thinking will dictate your future decisions. You can choose to hang out with people who’ll hold you back or people who’ll encourage you to be the best you can be.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19) Today: You will make a fabulous impression on parents, bosses and VIPs in the next three weeks as Venus crosses the top of your chart. Some of you will make such a great impression, you might strike up a romance with a boss.

Sunday: A conversation with a parent or a boss won’t go as predicted. Stay light on your feet so you can shift quickly according to the changing landscape. If someone says something that offends you, don’t take it personally.

This week: The new moon is taking place at the top of your chart. This happens only once a year and is the best chance to think about your life direction. Do you have a plan? Do you have goals? What progress have you made in the past year? Where do you want to be a year from now? These are things to think about this week. People with goals accomplish more. Goals help you focus and can help you make decisions. Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18) Today: Travel for pleasure beckons in the next three weeks. If you can’t travel far, then be a tourist in your own backyard. Romance with someone different might begin.

Sunday: Travel plans will almost certainly be interrupted or changed. Profound conversations about metaphysics, philosophy, religion and politics might be stimulating. You might also meet someone unusual, especially from a different background.

This week: The new moon wants you to expand your horizons. It wants to encourage you to travel to understand more about the world. This new moon also wants you to educate yourself, whether you go back to school or take a course or educate yourself by reading, talking to others and, yes, travelling. This is also the perfect week to think about your attitudes toward your parents. How did your youth shape you? What are your belief systems now? Things to think about.

Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20) Today: The next three weeks are an excellent time to ask for a loan or mortgage because you will benefit from the wealth of partners and financial institutions. Romance will be affectionate and sexy!

Sunday: Stay in touch with your bank account and anything to do with shared property, inheritances and such because something unforeseen could have an impact. Check your online banking.

This week: The new moon will take place in your eighth house, which is concerned with sex, reproduction, healing and other people’s money. Are you happy with your financial arrangement with your partner? Do you feel fairly treated? What about your debt? Are you abusing yourself by going into more debt than you can handle? When it comes to money, write things down. The eighth house is also about sex. It’s hard to know about sex because we only have ourselves to rely on.

If your birthday is today: Actor Roger Moore (1927-2017) shares your birthday. You are kind and tolerant. You are also inquisitive. This is a year of teaching and learning. You will spend time in reflection. Because your spiritual beliefs will have strong priority, you might explore meditation, yoga or other disciplines. What you learn this year will be crucial for your progress next year.

If your birthday is Sunday: Singer Keyshia Cole (1981) shares your birthday. You have a lively spirit. You are generous and patient with others. This is a year associated with success, power and money. It’s time for you to reap the benefits of the past decade. Expect to attain aspects of power and leadership in all your relationships.
