The Personal Signs ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20)

Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is prominent in your life right now and urges you to plan nice things for your partner. Good ideas and opportunities come to you when Mercury goes direct May 4. In June, Venus swings into your second house, improving luck in your financial affairs.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 TO MAY 20)

This is a fine time to enter into new activities, or just to refine your lifestyle. Focus on what you really want and like. Sometimes you are too conscious of what others want you to do. It’s time to make things the way you want them. Go slow and be careful when making financial decisions. A better time is on the horizon.

GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20)

Your ruler Mercury goes direct May 4, making this a good time to plan and act on your ideas. You are able to express yourself clearly and effectively. Jupiter in your fifth house favors enjoyable activities. Book a vacation or buy tickets to special events. If you have children, they are favored now.

CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22)

Jupiter in your fourth house brings happiness to your home. Update, refresh or buy some cheerful flowers. There are unexpected and good changes coming to your career. All full moons are important to you; the one on May 10 is favorable for planning events with younger family members.

LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22)

Many celestial events are coming together to bring you good and accurate news. Mercury will be favorably aspecting your sun, causing men around you to be helpful. On May 10 the combination of the full moon and vibes from Uranus and Mercury should make your life exciting. Listen to Aquarians and Geminis; they want to help you.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22)

You can get your to-do list done fast after Mercury goes direct May 4. News you hear now is apt to be correct and to your liking. This is a great time to start something new. Virgos like to write, organize and have details well taken care of in an orderly fashion, and it is easy to do now.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22)

This is your year to have a good time while the planets are on your side. Focus on family and friends, and pay attention to new people who enter your life. They are apt to be helpful. The fire signs, Leo and

Sagittarius, have what it takes to keep up with you. Abundance is all around you, so you do need to be careful about overeating, overdoing and getting too tired.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 22)

You may be considering getting a job, or be offered one, with three planets in your sixth house of work. It might be a short-lived idea, with Uranus causing you to change your mind. Mars is also opposing Saturn in your financial houses, so it’s not a good time to make financial decisions. Take your time, and lie low for a while.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21)

Serious Saturn is in your sign and can be a royal pain in the neck—and not at all your style. It does, however, have a reputation for bringing you what you deserve. Stick to problem solving and working your way through jobs you don’t particularly like; by the end of the year you should be back to your 11th-hour luck and the easy-living ways that you prefer.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19)

You are known for your ability to take on difficult tasks and do them with integrity and fine workmanship. You should find your career going well with increased recognition for your efforts. Work abroad is a possibility, and you can mix that with pleasure by adding a sightseeing trip to your agenda.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18)

Whether going to school, college, graduate school or taking a fun course in something you’ve been wanting to learn, it’s favored right now. You are the zodiac’s most unusual fellow and like to do things in your own inimitable way. Foreign people and travel can provide you with new and surprising opportunities.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 TO MARCH 20)

Your ruler Neptune is in your first house and can cause you to become more aware and interested in your dreams and psychic activities. Venus joins Uranus during the first week of June and can cause changes in your love life. It’s best to wait until this timeframe is over before making choices you can’t easily rescind.
