HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21 — April 19) Today: You feel passionately about practically everything. But then, you are a passionate sign! You feel things intensely, and then poof! It’s over. You have intelligent ideas about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances today.

Sunday: A little warning: Your ruler Mars has moved opposite your sign to stay for eight weeks. (This happens every two years.) When this occurs, it makes you easily annoyed with others. Be patient and remember that it’s gone by mid-December.

This week: For the next four weeks, the Sun will join Jupiter in your Eighth House, creating a greater focus on financial issues. This is good news. It calls your attention to the fact that not only during the next month but also the next year is where you have financial good fortune! You will be able to get a loan or a mortgage more easily than in any other year. Your partner might earn more money. Disputes about inheritances and insurance issues will be favourable to you. Basically, you will benefit from the wealth and resources of others more than you have done in over a decade.

Taurus (April 20 — May 20) Today: Because the Moon today is opposite your sign, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This is easy for you to do because you are conciliatory and accommodating on a daily basis.

Sunday: You will be a dynamo at work in the next two months because you are keen to work hard. In fact, you might be bossy with others because you want them to work just as hard. Remember, they might not be as motivated as you.

This week: The Sun will be sitting across from your sign for the next four weeks, which means it’s as far away from you as it gets all year. Since symbolically, the Sun is your source of energy, this means your energy will be flagging during this time. You will need more sleep and more rest. Furthermore, this oppositional Sun forces you to focus on partnerships and close friendships more than usual. The upside is you will have a chance to observe your style of relating to others. Mercury will also be opposite your sign for the next two weeks, indicating you will be involved in discussions about partnerships.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: You’ll feel pleased to do anything that makes you feel you better organized. Clean up messy areas in your car, your bedroom, your bathroom. My music teacher used to say: “When sweeping the floor, take care of the corners because the middle will take care of itself.”

Sunday: The next two months are the perfect time for a vacation because you feel flirtatious, prankish and fun-loving. You are keen to pursue sports with energy because you want to win. This is also a lovely time when romance will flourish!

This week: In the next four weeks, you want to know how to better manage your life. You want to be efficient and productive, which is why you might refine your techniques in doing something. Physical efficiency will be your priority, but you will have a greater interest in improving your health as well. Admittedly, you might have to work for the benefit of someone because they need your assistance. Basically, as you learn how to work better and smarter — this will increase your opportunities to improve your job or get a better job this year or in 2018. Likewise, you can also look forward to improved health in 2018.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22) Today: While some people are busy working today, you feel prankish, flirtatious and fun-loving! Sports events, activities with children, the arts and anything to do with crafts will appeal. Socialize with friends.

This week: It’s play city for Cancers in the next four weeks. Slip away on a vacation. Accept invitations to party. Expect to be more involved with children. Sports events will appeal.
