Stargazing with Elizabeth Joyce

The March 5th full moon in Virgo brings the knowledge that we have lost faith in our leaders, and we can expect some fast-moving turnovers and changes. This is also true for unusual ideas and progressive projects. The March 20th new moon at 20 degrees Pisces brings the spring equinox, as well as a total solar eclipse. This moon is a game changer. We have the long-awaited finale with this rare eclipse, and an opportunity for some exceptionally new beginnings—financial transformations, political reshuffling and geological breakdowns, along with unsettling weather conditions. April 4th brings a full moon in Libra with a total lunar eclipse— a time to get down to business and be thorough and persistent about getting what you want. This sets off a dangerous T-square with Uranus and Pluto—so expect the worst, and then when the best comes, you’ll be surprised. Expect a rise in your confidence levels. The April 18th new moon at 28 degrees Aries brings a time to begin something that’s long lasting. Start something that will leave a lasting impression. Try not to become impatient and/or stubborn.

ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20)

March will fly by at a fast pace, like an exciting carnival ride. You love excitement, so you’ll love every minute of it and will probably want to “go again.” You won’t have to lift a pinky to attract many new admirers. You’ll have champagne tastes and will settle for nothing but the best. The equinox eclipse reminds you to be a bit cautious and think things through before you act. April brings chatty conversations and communication. You are devilishly impulsive and unstoppable! Business or personal, no one can stop you now.

TAURUS (APRIL 21 TO MAY 20)

If you need some energy to put finishing touches on a current project, you’ll have it now , Taurus. You can put the charm on anyone who tries to stall you. If you cross paths with someone who’s well dressed and confident, don’t allow that person to leave without exchanging phone numbers. April brings a time to be prepared for what might come. A love relationship could become public. Be careful if married to someone else. Why risk what you already have? Also, be on the lookout with partnering, as there could be some strings attached.

GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20)

Get ready for some serious fun. You could be performing, no matter where you are. If you’ve wanted a career in acting, investigate an improv troupe. Although you need to put a lot of time in at work, the home fires need stoking as well. Dining out and a romantic gesture should do the trick. April brings time for playmates, creativity and your kids. You’ve earned this! Make every moment fun and enjoy yourself.

CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22)

Making points at work won’t be hard now, Cancer. Your mission is to be firm but polite. Be sure you have all your facts in order before you open your mouth. If you need to find a way out of a no-win relationship, now is the time. You will have to act fast but don’t look back. April brings a jolt to some family matters. Changes happen quickly, so be sure your partner is on board with what must be done. It’s possible to make a little cash on the side at month’s end.

LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22)

March is the time for you to break free of anything that’s been holding you back, Leo. If travel and education are on the list, as they will be during most of 2015, then pay attention. Give your mind and body an entirely new challenge. If you leave a relationship now, there is no turning back. Eclipses play for keeps, so think matters through first. April plays the “get out of town” card for a brief escape from routine and responsibilities. A far-off loved one may contact you for help in an urgent situation. Getting involved in a group project could be quite profitable at month’s end.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22)

You may have been working on your health habits for months, and perhaps seen some results last month. That’s nothing compared with what you are

seeing now. If in a relationship, you could be quite wrapped up in each other. If friends call to lure you away, don’t budge! This one’s a keeper and understands you for who you are. April brings a time of insisting, along with tax season, that you take a look at your finances. Although you are usually quite detail-oriented, romance may have you distracted, so this review is a good idea. Time to introduce your sweetheart to the gang at month’s end.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22)

The March eclipse uncovers some of your deep, dark secrets, Libra. The truth comes out into the open. You are more focused on money than love now, and your lover may become upset at the time you’re spending at the office. Time to give your lover a thrilling, fun-filled evening, and you be sure to pick up that tab, Libra. Believe me, you’ll be so glad you did. April brings a necessary time for physical fitness. Either a health scare or people ignoring you prompts you to begin a health and fitness regimen. Don’t pierce or dye anything until you’re sure you are not just reacting. You could receive an unexpected windfall at month’s end.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 22)

If you’ve just met someone and haven’t yet made a date, do it soon, or they’ll beat you to it. Either way, March is a very romantic time for you. If you’re single, get ready. The universe is setting the table for a gourmet buffet, ready to bring you several “accidental” meetings from which to choose. Be careful driving, avoid social arguments and direct your energy into positive areas at month’s end. April brings a focus on making necessary health changes. Decide, and

then take it easy at first. Don’t push yourself any further than you can. “Easy does it” works—through June!

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21)

March brings a time for you to “get out there” and make a name for yourself. If you’re thinking of starting out on your own, this is a terrific time to do it. These are fiery times, Sag. If you’re already seeing someone, expect to turn up the thermostat; it’s time for passion. You could decide to change professions now. April brings in partnerships, both professional and personal. If you’ve been known to pick up the tab in the past, this month you hesitate. You don’t have to treat every time, and a big dose of reality kicks in around tax day. Watch your funds carefully!

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19)

The higher ups and colleagues are pleased with a project you’ve just completed, practically on your own. Finally, those rewards you desired will arrive, complete with a pat on the back from your crew. Prepare to see your partner’s eyebrows rise when you make a startling suggestion. Nothing but the best for you! April brings changes, but you’re the one who will put them in motion. Time to care about what makes you happy, and not just about the bills.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18)

Luck is with you as March opens, Aquarius. From travel to finding a new peer group, you feel happy and successful. You
