HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21 — April 19)

Today: It’s a wonderful day to travel! It’s also a wonderful day to sign up for a course or take a workshop. This is because you want to push your boundaries. Since the world owes you a favour today, open your arms.

Sunday: Relations with partners and close friends are a bit sticky. What might throw a pall on things is a parent, boss or someone in a position of authority — perhaps even the police.

This week: You’ll have a strong involvement with parents or bosses and authority figures because all of these five planets in Capricorn are at the top of your chart. You will be ambitious. Furthermore, you will be high visibility. Fortunately, people will give you the benefit of the doubt. In fact, your relations will be so cosy, some of you might strike up a romance with a boss. You can definitely get the financial, practical and emotional support from other sources that you need. Taurus (April 20 — May 20) Today: Trust your clever ideas that might be groundbreaking in how you approach shared property, inheritances and insurance issues. You see new angles that will benefit you. Share this information with partners and close friends. Travel anywhere for pleasure if you can.

Sunday: Avoid controversial subjects like religion, politics and racial issues because someone will rain on your parade. People aren’t willing to agree. In fact, quite the opposite.

This week: This is a wonderful week because five planets in Capricorn are totally supportive to your Taurus sun. This week, you’ll be thrilled to travel and explore more of the world. And if you can’t travel, you’ll make travel plans. Likewise, your ambition will lead you to sign up for training so you learn more. You’ll also have a chance to explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and perhaps working in higher education. Relations with partners and close friends will be warm. Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: A conversation with someone close to you might blow your mind. Unusual topics will be touched upon. Because your idealism is aroused, you might see a revolutionary way to do something. Meanwhile, you’re

pumped to improve your health and your job.

Sunday: This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances and shared property because people are tightfisted. Nobody wants to give anybody else an inch.

This week: Your financial scene is looking fabulous because this gaggle of planets in Capricorn (see all signs) is parked in one of your money houses, specifically the money house related to the resources of others. This means you can easily get money and funds from others. Others might give you gifts. They will do favours for you. In financial negotiations, you’ll come out on top. You will also be skilful about achieving your financial aims in discussions about inheritances, shared property and insurance issues. Meanwhile, job opportunities are starting to look fabulous! Cancer (June 21 — July 22)

Today: This is a fantastic day. Take a vacation weekend if you can. Sports, romantic escapes, the theatre, the arts and playful times with children are just some areas that will be rewarding for you. New health information will intrigue. Sunday: They say we need the darkness to see the stars. And it’s true. Family discussions and interactions with family members might be stressful. This week: With five planets opposite your sign, of course, your focus will be on close friendships and partnerships. Venus will make everything friendly, which is reassuring, especially since Mars will stir up some trouble by making you impatient with someone. The sun will offer you an opportunity to observe your style of relating. An opportunity like this is important because the more skilful you can be in your relationships, then the happier you will be! And, of course, the same for them. Parties, vacations, romance, sports and playful times with children are on your menu. Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)

Today: You’re up for having a good time, which is why you will accept invitations or extend them. You feel playful and want to explore new ideas and activities. You might entertain at home because you are swamped with lots of activity where you live.

Sunday: Discussions with coworkers, relatives and neighbours might be a downer. Not all day but at some point. Don’t take this personally because the whole world is feeling this influence. Do what you can to make someone else feel better.

This week: There’s no question that you begin this new year with a resolve to pull your act together. You want to be organized and on top of your scene. You want to get the most bang for your buck by making your efforts and actions count. You will extend these high standards to your health as well, which is why many of you will embrace a new exercise regime and start to eat healthier. You will still entertain

at home and ponder ideas about how to improve your home. This will be one of your big projects this year. Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22) Today: Family discussions will encourage unusual, cutting-edge ideas. You might buy something modern for your home or super high-tech.

Sunday: You might feel broke today. Actually, this is the kind of day where things look worse than they really are.

This week: It’s all about fun, romance, flirtations, parties, social diversions, sports events and fun activities with children. You’re in touch with your muse, which means you will have no trouble expressing your creativity and your talents. You’ll also be aggressive about going after what you want. For example, if you set your sights on someone, you’ll make the first move. Not only will all this fun stuff be a priority, this week you’ll also notice your optimism growing. Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22)

Today: New people, new faces, new ideas make this a thrilling, stimulating day! Don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with others because you can think outside of the box and put a new spin on things. In fact, your ideas might make money. Work-related travel is thrilling.

Sunday: The moon is in your sign; however, it is at odds with stern Saturn. This can be a depressing influence. Instead of making you appreciate who you are and what you have — instead, you’ll focus on why life is hard. If you can laugh at yourself, you’ll always be amused.

This week: This week your focus will be on home, family and your private life; in large measure, because you are determined to beautify your digs. You want to make where you live feel more comfortable and inviting in a casual, elegant way. And you will make a big effort to do this. You might also buy something beautiful for where you live. For some, this interest will extend into exploring real estate opportunities because while you consider some of these domestic and real-estate issues, you’re also thinking of ways to boost your earnings. Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21) Today: You’re bursting with enthusiasm and pumped with physical energy. This might be because you’re excited about a new job or new way of boosting your earnings. Or you might be just as excited about an unusual purchase, especially something that is high-tech, modern or different.

Sunday: Relations with others are bit strained or stiff — and everyone feels this way. Go figure. You can’t save the world before bedtime. Just focus on maintaining a positive attitude.

This week: This is a fast-paced week. Grab your roller skates and get out the door. Short trips, errands, shopping, reading, writing and studying plus talking to everyone are just some of the things that will create a

jam-packed schedule for you. You’ll notice that the pace of this week will accelerate as you start juggling everything. But you can do it because lucky Jupiter is in your sign where it will stay for this year (and this is happening for the first time in 12 years). It makes you feel content and appreciative of what you have. Plus, it attracts good fortune to you. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21)

Today: Stay active to avoid boredom. Any new phenomena will interest you, especially travelling to foreign places or meeting unusual people. Conversations will be electric and stimulating — and if not, you’ll move on.

Sunday: Someone older or more experienced might discourage you. You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. You thrive on activity and optimism — these are survival issues for you! Remember Miss Piggy: “Never eat more than you can lift.”

This week: Oh wow — five planets are sitting in one of your money houses — specifically your house of earnings. This means most of you will have a chance to boost your income or figure out a way to make money on the side or get a better paying job. You will be focused and aggressive about going after this and the doors of opportunity will open for you. Yes, timing is everything. The key to your success is you have to figure what you really want. Define your values. You don’t want to be waiting at the train station when your ship comes in. Start to figure this out because lucky Jupiter will enter your sign at the end of this year! Get it together before then. Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19) Today: This is an excellent day to tackle any problem you’ve been trying to solve for a while. Your mind can suddenly put a new spin on things and see new angles. Whatever you deal with, you’ll bring a fresh point of view to the situation.

Sunday: Relations with parents and bosses will be tough. They might disapprove of you or squelch your ideas. You might have the burden of taking care of an aging parent.

This week: It’s all about you, dear Capricorn, with five planets in your sign. Just use this planetary phenomenon to your advantage. You’ll attract people and favourable circumstances to you this week, which means you should act on this opportunity. You will also be energetic and aggressive about going after what you want because Mars boosts your verve and drive! Meanwhile, this is an excellent week to buy wardrobe treasures — preferably high-end labels on sale. In addition, new friends will come into your life along with invitations to join clubs, groups and associations. Enjoy your increasing popularity. Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18) Today: You’re turned on or influenced by someone who is younger, modern, cutting-edge. You might learn something new. This person might ignite a passion within you or introduce you

to a new group or on a new way of doing things.

Sunday: Travel plans might look bleak or disappointing. You might also read something in the media that is a bummer. We’re all frail mortals walking around wondering what others think of us.

This week: Jupiter is already at the top of your chart, which is why you’re starting to look fabulous to everyone. The success that will come to you this year is already apparent. Ironically, this week you will choose to be low profile and work behind the scenes because this is your preference. Some of you will be involved in secret activities and yes, secret love affairs. Nevertheless, younger people will be involved in your life and even your behind-the-scenes activities will draw attention to you in a positive way. No matter how quiet you try to be — you will shine. But be careful when dealing with others this week. Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20)

Today: Bosses, parents and VIPs are impressed with your ideas. It’s as if you see things with fresh, new eyes. Or you might meet an authority figure who reveals a whole new world to you.

Sunday: Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get your fair share of something today. Of course, it isn’t fair. But that is sort of the theme of this day. People are bummed out about different things — and there are worse things to be bummed out about.

This week: This is a popular week. Yes, your dance card is full. Enjoy shmoozing with creative people. You might also be involved in sports or outdoor activities because some of you will be competitive with someone or another team or a group. This is the perfect week to share your hopes for the future with someone so their feedback can help you. In turn, this can lead to your ability to define goals for this year. Of course, you’re going to travel and focus on education but you have to get more specific, don’t you?

This is a time of completions, endings and taking inventory. Review past triumphs and failures as you finish this nine-year cycle. Many will let go of people, jobs, places and things to move on to something new. You are moving away from heavy burdens to something new and lighter! If your birthday is on Sunday:
