HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Your next adventure is about to start, but you must discern the most significant events from those that may just be interesting distractions. Your irrepressible desire for new experiences inspires you to take a big leap as your key planet Mars enters flamboyant Sagittarius and your 9th House of Travel. Congratulations on your decision to initiate bold action; just be certain that you have a safe place to land upon arrival. Being in possession of a practical plan is a good idea, even if you choose to change it later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Stepping outside your comfort zone isnt necessarily your favorite activity, but it may spark a new connection or revitalize an old one now, ultimately leading to more love or money. Breaking through personal limits in relationship matters is possible while assertive Mars sets up camp in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Ironically, your vulnerability makes you extra appealing even if you feel fragile and uncertain about your value to others. Extending the boundaries of honesty and trust might feel like a risky venture, but could prove rewarding if you remain calm throughout the process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

There are so many different things you wish to pursue now. In fact, the Moons return to your curious sign can lead you on one wild goose chase after another, without offering lasting satisfaction. Meanwhile, insistent Mars pushes into your 7th House of Partnerships, requiring you to set aside your personal distractions so you can strengthen a bond between you and another person. You might feel caught between your intention to express your independence and your desire for the emotional intimacy of a one-on-one relationship. Ultimately, freedom is just a state of mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

You may be stretched to your limits on the job now, yet going the extra mile can gain you the support you need to turn an arduous chore into a memorable activity. Enterprising Mars is looking for action as it enters your 6th House of Daily Routine. However, too much directed intention might open old wounds and create new sources of pain. Its better to move slowly and methodically so you stir up less trouble. Watch for the smallest changes, for they can have the greatest impact.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Although your responsibilities wont suddenly vanish, youre ready to lighten up and let the good times roll. Unfortunately, the current energetic shift may not be as quick or as enduring as you wish, but recent emotional storms are clearing, opening space for pleasure. Rather than visualizing your future as a repository of unfulfilled obligations, you can see the potential for unbridled joy as rambunctious Mars strides into your 5th House of Spontaneity. Plato wrote, Life must be lived as play.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your spirit is restless now, and you could be tempted to tear down any walls that constrain you. Macho Mars is entering fearless Sagittarius and your 4th House of Home and Family, encouraging you to open up about your private life, even in ways that normally might be embarrassing. Delving into your personal history enables you to understand how seemingly separate pieces are all interconnected. Nobel laureate Richard Feynman wrote, Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

A change in the energy field fills your life with a stream of unending activity, requiring you to jump from one activity to another. Theres never a dull moment while dynamic Mars travels through your 3rd House of Distractions for the next seven weeks. Although you may be somewhat scattered, your high spirits are fueled by your optimistic outlook that everything will work out for the best. The sooner you place realistic limits on your schedule, the more you will be able to enjoy yourself in the days ahead. Choosing quality over quantity offers you the most pleasure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Complex discussions about sharing money, meshing schedules or collaborating on a project might require a high level of flexibility on your part. Fortunately, you may uncover hidden resources or develop new ones while assertive Mars moves through your 2nd House of Self-worth, bringing financial matters to the forefront. Although other peoples perceptions of you could make your life easier or harder, its really about how you view yourself. Change what you can and accept what you cannot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You may have more issues on your plate than you can handle today when it comes to relationships. Warrior Mars struts into your 1st House of Self while the Moon slides into your 7th House of Partnerships, highlighting the emotional tension between you and someone else. Its easier to take initiative now that Mars is back in your extroverted sign, but paying more attention to your own needs could increase the intensity of interpersonal conflict. Get your body moving since vigorous physical activity releases excess energy in a positive manner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

An unreasonable number of tasks may clutter your calendar today. However, your ability to get things done receives a cosmic boost as energetic Mars pushes its way into inspirational Sagittarius and your 12th House of Destiny. Paradoxically, the outward expression of your drive to succeed might be subdued because the 12th House is associated with invisibility. You have a lot to say, and even more to do, but youre not necessarily ready to go public with your plans. Dont rush your process. Only you know when the time is right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Its as if someone walked through your home and turned on lights in rooms you didnt even know existed. You are suddenly aware of a broader view of humanity and all its frailties. You are motivated to get personally involved in social issues now that superhero Mars is marching through your 11th House of Global Consciousness. Ironically, you dont care where this new road is leading; your optimism is unleashed and youre ready to save the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20):

Although you may have many loose ends to tie up around the home, you are more motivated than ever to try harder at work. Fortunately, you already possess a practical action plan that maps out your long-term ascent to the top of your career. However, the immediate presence of impulsive Mars in your 10th House of Public Responsibility creates an uncomfortable conflict between strategic thinking and immediate action. Nevertheless, dont give up what you want most for what you want now.
