Horoscope

ARIES | (March 21-April 19)

This is the best year in over a decade to improve your partnerships and close friendships. This has been an ongoing opportunity this year but now, with a strong connection to Pluto, Jupiter really urges you to examine all aspects of your relationships. See what is right and wrong about them. You want to stand up for what you believe because you want the relationship to work for you. Naturally, this can lead to conflict when what you most want is to improve your partnership. Meanwhile, get ready for a month of silly errors and mixed-up communications. Suit up!

TAURUS | (April 20-May 20)

Mercury retrograde creates silly mistakes, delays and transportation breakdowns. You are the one sign however, that will benefit from this particular Mercury retrograde because it will help you to research anything and discover answers, especially if you need to study history or find solutions to old problems. Meanwhile, more than ever, you are keen to improve your health and your job, or get a better job. This desire has been growing for months but now it is culminating in a strong way! You are looking for every chance to be the best you can be in your job, as well as with your health on a daily basis. Good luck!

GEMINI | (May 21-June 20)

Some years relationships are easy; some years they’re impossible. For the first time in decades, you are facing serious challenges in your partnerships. It’s discouraging. The fact is relationships that are more trouble than they’re worth might end this year. However, not all relationships are going to end. Even troubled relations will survive and endure. And perhaps this is why you want a vacation. You need a change of scenery! You want relief from your daily challenges. You want more joy, more fun, more adventure and stimulation so that you can cope with your daily world. Grab every bit of fun that you can because it’s totally appropriate right now. Why not?

CANCER | (June 21-July 22)

More than ever, you feel compelled and motivated to create a better home for yourself. This feeling has been building for a long time but now it is really strong. At the very least, you are looking around where you live because you want to repair whatever is broken. Yes; you really want to restore or rebuild things. Some of you will want to leave where you live to find a better place because you are determined to create a better home for yourself. At a more subtle level, you will even want to repair relationships within your family dynamic.

LEO | (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have the ability to inspire others. But the key to being able to inspire and energize others is you have to have a positive belief in your future and your daily world. Right now you are giving this a lot of thought. You want to be the best that you can be. This is why you are studying more and have more ambitious plans regarding writing and interacting with others. Note: Instead of trying for perfection — focus on your progress. Focus on achieving what you need to achieve — one day at a time. Do not be overwhelmed by the enormity of a task because you do have big ambitions. Remember: One day at a time.

VIRGO | (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Although this particular Mercury retrograde will cause travel delays, it will help you study and research. It will also help you to finish writing a paper or a book. Meanwhile, your hopes to earn more money are beginning to manifest. Some of you are mentally starting to spend the money. A new car? A new apartment? A new life? Basically, you want to use your earnings and everything that you own to create the best life for yourself that you can possibly do. You are stoked to do it!

LIBRA | (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Some of you are struggling with weight gain this year while Jupiter is in your sign. Right now, as Jupiter is at odds with Pluto, you will be greater than ever motivated to improve your body in every sense of the word. Not only do you want to buff your bod so that it is more attractive, especially with summer at hand (the painful litmus test when you can no longer hide under a winter jacket); but also you want to feel that you are healthier. You might start to explore vitamin supplements, a new diet regime, or anything that will repair your body and rejuvenate and restore it. The last time you were on such a serious kick like this was in 2005.

SCORPIO | (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This Mercury retrograde will hit you where you work, which is why you have to cut yourself and others some slack. Expect mixed-up communications, missed appointments, lost paperwork plus problems with computers, printers, phones and equipment. Fear not: these glitches are frustrating, not monumental. You can handle whatever Mercury retrograde throws at you. Meanwhile, personally, you are doing some heavy soul-searching. It’s private but it’s very real. The truth is to learn a lot about yourself right now because you’re willing to look. And because you have this courage, it will be extremely helpful if you can find a guide or a teacher or a support can help you. We all need teachers.

SAGITTARIUS | (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Very soon, old flames will be back in your life. Sometimes this is exciting; sometimes not so much. Likewise, some of you might have more contact with your kids than before. This might or might not be the reason that you are very goal oriented right now. More than ever, you are involved with your friends and with groups, clubs and organizations because there’s something important you want to achieve. The bar is high. But this is a good thing because you are idealistic and you need positive goals to make your life meaningful. The key is to make sure that as you improve your life, whatever you do also improves the lives of others as well. This will really turn your crank. It gives meaning to your life and this is what you want. Natch!

CAPRICORN | (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your ambition to achieve great things is strong now. You believe in yourself more than ever. It’s the real deal. You believe that your energy and your ability can carry you farther than usual. This is why now you will really strive for power and success. In particular, you want to create a name for yourself because you want your reputation to be solid. You want respect and admiration. Relax. Because you will strive so hard to get this, you will achieve success and social standing. Meanwhile, this month, Mercury retrograde will attract relatives you haven’t seen for a while to your front door. People might be camped out on your sofa. What can I say? Stock the fridge. “They’re coming!”

AQUARIUS | (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You want to travel and learn more. Not superficial stuff. You want information that is useful. In the perfect world, you would travel and help establish wells in villages or bring eyeglasses to those who need them. You want to make a difference. Some of you want to write and produce something in the media that will have a positive impact in the world. Aim high and see where your arrow falls. After all, the most important thing is motivation. Meanwhile, stay on top of needed repairs to cars and trucks because transportation delays are likely this month.

PISCES | (Feb. 19-March 20)

Whatever you want to do — money is the limiting factor or the encouragement right now. It can work both ways. For starters, if you are looking for work, one of the best places to look is where you have worked in the past (or applied) because Mercury retrograde will help you resurrect old opportunities. One of the most favourable things right now is that you will benefit from the wealth and resources of others. If you need a loan or a mortgage — now is the time to go for it. Some of you might receive an inheritance or a gift from someone. The world is offering you abundance. “For me?” “Yes!”
