You might want to work alone or help others in a field of service in the next month. Meanwhile, you have intense feelings about many things because of the placement of the Sun in your Eighth House. Fortunately, fair Venus opposite your sign paves the way for smooth relations, while Jupiter attracts fabulous opportunities for the coming year to travel or explore education.

This week: For most of this year, Mars has been at the top of your chart arousing your ambition. You’re pumped and motivated! However, you do want some balance because you love your creature comforts. In the next six weeks, your focus will swing to being active with friends, perhaps even in a competitive way? But it will definitely be more fun! Relations with co-workers are smooth. Remember to get more rest. Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Today: Make an effort to socialize. A discussion with a female friend in particular will be heartwarming

This is your month to howl! Love affairs parties, the arts and playful activities with children are top choices. Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22) Today: This is a playful Saturday. Make plans to do something different. You might want to grab a matinee, meet friends for lunch, go for a drive or do some therapy shopping. Perhaps your choice is to share fun activities with kids?

Sunday: See what you can do to improve your home environment. Identify what you can get rid of. Recycle what you can, set aside things to sell, and set aside things to turf. When you’re surrounded by things you don’t need, it’s a burden.

This week: Great news! Mars is no longer opposite your sign! It’s been a gruelling year because you have been annoyed with partners and close friends.

for ways to make money from your words because you can. Virgo (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22)

Today: This is the perfect Saturday to hunker down and relax. It’s been a fast-paced week and you welcome a chance to unwind. A conversation with a female family member will be significant and pleasant.

Sunday: You will be succinct and purposeful in your conversations. You will say what you mean and mean what you say. This is a powerful day for those of you in sales, writing, acting and teaching.

This week: You continue to be busy with short trips, conversations, appointments plus reading, writing and studying. Relatives you haven’t seen for ages are on the scene and perhaps sleeping on your sofa and eating out of your fridge. I say this “might” be the case because in the month ahead, you will be less patient with close friends while Mars is opposite your sign. Mars will make you assertive. You won’t be a doormat. This influence is only for six weeks, so it will be a good thing! You will stand up for yourself and not tolerate behaviour you don’t like. You will continue to attract money, while at the same time, buy beautiful treasures for yourself and loved ones. Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 22) Today: You will enjoy yourself simply because you’re in a good mood. However, when talking to others you want to really share something more deeply. You want to get down to the nittygritty of things. Sunday: You might see new ways of earning money. You might also see new uses or applications for something you already own. This week: In the next six weeks, you will work hard as well as delegate to others because you have a lot you want to accomplish. Fortunately, with fair Venus in your sign, you will be diplomatic as you order others around. And they will want to do things for you! Stay on top of car problems and such. Allow extra time for errands and appointments because Mercury retrograde will create delays. But hey, it’s small stuff. Nothing will stop you from schmoozing and having fun. Scorpio (Oct. 23 — Nov. 21) Today:

You have money on your mind. And at a deeper level, you’re wondering if you are using your possessions, wealth and money to their best advantage. Does what you own make you happy?

Sunday: You have a strong desire to improve yourself today — in every way. You want to be the best you can be. Whatever you do today in terms of exercising whether it’s jogging or yoga, you will gain more benefit than usual. It’s almost magical.

This week: This continues to

be a powerful time for you. Put yourself first. Get ready to party and enjoy sports events, love affairs, romance, vacations and playful activities with children because in the next 6 to 8 weeks, this is where your energy will flow. Not only will your interest in these areas grow, you will follow it up with action and efforts to make your dream a reality. You can count on a fun two months ahead! Get some party clothes or sports gear so you’re prepared. You’re gonna have fun! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21)

Today: You are a bit more emotional than usual, but you have a little bit of extra good luck. Why not test it and ask the universe for a favour?

Sunday: This is a great day to do research of any kind because you have the ability to ferret out information. You’ll be like a dog with a bone! This week: It’s wonderful that Mars is changing signs this week because this will make you friendly and easygoing — more like your lighthearted self. However, Mars will create increased activity on the home front. Some of you are renovating or redecorating. Others might have visiting guests. Yet again, some of you might be moving. Whatever the cause, the next six to eight weeks will be super active at home. There might also be conflict at home. Remember: Patience is the antidote to anger. Capricorn (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19)

Today: You will enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings. Hopefully, you can retreat somewhere or sleep in or hide. You’re not being anti-social. You just want a chance to sort things out.

This week: Mars enters the part of your chart concerning daily communications and everyday habits. The tempo of your life will accelerate! Your energy will be high! However, there is a danger of conflict with relatives, neighbours and siblings because you will be coming on strong! The reason you might be argumentative is you identify with your beliefs and even your possessions. “That’s mine!” Nevertheless, the next six to eight weeks are an excellent for those who market, sell, teach, act or write for a living because you have tons of energy to back up your words. Aquarius (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18) Today: You’re in the mood to schmooze, especially with female acquaintances. Meet someone for brunch. Grab the kids and go to a park.

need the stimulation!

Mars will increase your cash flow, which means you will also be spending more as well. Pisces (Feb. 19 — March 20)

Sunday: You will be interested in esoteric knowledge and the secrets of psychology, the occult, yoga or other self-transformation techniques. You want the answers to big questions,

This week: This week Mars enters your sign for the first time in several years and it will stay there for about six weeks boosting your energy making you confident (even cocky) and giving you a chance to show the world what you can do. You will be more vigorous in your approach to others, which is also why you will make a great impression on everyone. However, do not ride roughshod over someone, which is unlikely because you are a sensitive person. You will be more of a fighter for your own rights, and indeed, you will even fight for the rights of others! Your physical energy will be high and you will be able to do mucho work in the next six to eight weeks. Look out, world!
