Horoscope for the Week:  June 11, 2021

Tip of the Week:

The Solar Eclipse on June 10 is the big news now. Although it is not ‘total’ as was the recent Lunar Eclipse, it is the bigger event, astrologically. The first basic reason is the fact that the Sun is involved, the star, and that it occurs during a New Moon, the cosmic, seminal event, the root cause… Both are impactful, relative to the subject experiencing it. Yet, you have to want to step back to truly see and understand it. This is where astrology is the master tool, once it is mastered.

The exact degree of the eclipse is 19 Gemini 47. Mercury at 20 Gemini 47 and retrograde reveals that it is closely and auspiciously aligned with the Sun and Moon, thus a significant feature of the seed event. Altogether, they are indirectly yet powerfully aligned with Aquarius, the sign of awakening and revolution. Uranus and Venus together are activating Libran themes which will activate a strong impulse towards fairness and justice.

 

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Solar Eclipse will have a direct impact on your perceptions and interpretations. They reveal a more penetrating perspective than usual and will also amplify the scope and quality of your relationships and friendship networks. Jupiter in Pisces could cause you to sleep through it all unless you are eager and willing to be awake and aware to see through illusions and deceptions.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

The eclipse will have the effect of making you much busier. A multi-tasking scenario is likely as you happily enter a productive cycle. Yet, your focus will be strong driving to get to the bottom of things.  Renovations of some kind are implied.  As likely as outer activities are outer activities, the focus could   also turn to personal growth and liberation from negative habits.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Circumstances are pushing you to take new leads. Your energy levels should increase as you assert a resolve to understand. An expansive influence in your public and professional life is active yet remains in its early stages and encompasses an 18-month time period. Success will require both a larger vision of possibility and a disciplined resolve to see through and beyond habitual perspectives.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

Some measure of retreat or turning inward to meditate and contemplate more deeply upon what is true and what you have come to believe will be activated by this eclipse. The compelling fact is that just because you believe something it does not mean it is true. Courage and resolve is required to see truly and denying it won’t help much either, at least not in any genuinely spiritual sense.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

The strong Gemini factor will have the effect of activating your sense of individuality. You will be prompted to think for yourself. With Mars entering your sign, your resolve will be backed by an added measure of strength, courage and determination. Meanwhile, returns for past efforts have begun to roll-in, for better or worse, and this trend will continue.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

Your career and public life in general is destined to get a boost thanks to this eclipse. Friends from the past could re-enter your life and bring with them a boost of confidence. Expansion on social and professional fronts is featured and includes creative activity backed by a practical focus. Some of this resolve will be directed towards facing inner doubts.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

This eclipse will activate a mix of clear visions and feeling lost and confused. Like trekking through low-lying clouds, your vision may be clear one moment and then obscured the next. Consequently, your confidence levels could waver for a while. Tending to your overall state of health will contribute to achieving feelings of empowerment and equilibrium.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A core feature of your destiny includes confronting the need to decide between higher and lower roads. It appears that you have arrived at such a juncture once again. It is said that those who go hard tend to have easier lives while those who go easy tend to have harder lives. How might this consideration apply to your current situation?

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Changes on relationship fronts could rock your world over the coming days, weeks and months even, if this eclipse is destined to trigger powerful karmic points. You will know soon. Positively, there are indications that your confidence levels are currently rising. It remains that you are in a cycle that requires commitment and discipline to gain new knowledge.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Some cycles emphasize health more than others.  As well, sometimes the focus is upon mental and emotional health more than upon physical. This is indicated now and you may be challenged with overcoming scattered, confused and even hysterical emotional states. Resolution may come more from quietude, retreat and meditation than talk therapy, yet deep, spiritual insight may also help.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

The current, powerful Gemini factor stands to be a real boost for you. The retrograde feature does imply some complexities, yet leans towards sharpened focus. Getting clear regarding your aim will allow you to identify what you want and how to navigate towards it. Be willing to give more in terms of being resourceful and seeding your imagination with clear visions of desired outcomes.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

The Gemini Solar Eclipse will impact you at your very core. This could well include your home and living situation and your family. Complex emotions are indicated and will likely require clarity and focus in terms of your values, priorities and resolve to overcome them. See this as an opportunity to better know who you are and ‘to thine own self be true’.

Horoscope for the Week:  June 4, 2021

Tip of the Week:
This week begins at the mid-point between the May 26 Total Lunar Eclipse and the June 10 Solar Eclipse which occurs at 19 Gemini 47. As well, Mercury is retrograde in its own sign at 20 Gemini 41, less than one degree away. So, this Gemini theme will remain strong throughout June and even dip well into July.  The main theme reveals communications shared. Venus in Cancer adds to this theme in terms of people wanting to feel secure. Uranus in Taurus plays a special role as does Saturn in Aquarius in this scenario, producing a strong, if indirect, Aquarian theme thus activating a rebellious impulse to ‘get the facts’, beyond the mainstream narrative. Thus, the social dialogue will include a powerful surge of intrigue and debate, all of which could prove quite polarized. Mars entering Leo the very day after the New Moon Solar Eclipse will also add hot sauce to this portrait as more and more people seek true answers and justice.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The Gemini influence will strongly activate you to put on your strongest thinking cap. You will enter into dialogue with a sporting attitude and one in which you want to win. You will score points by getting facts outside the mainstream box and by offering intel to others of the same caliber. Seeking solace from it all will lead you also to desire quietude and retreat to meditate and reflect upon it all.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
You tend to be a busy bee and this will prove especially true over the coming weeks. You will go harder and dig deeper than you perhaps have for some time. Creating a whole new level of beauty close to home could be a strong focus.  Yet, the emphasis may be more specifically directed towards security. Fortifying foundations is featured in this overall theme focus.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Strong emphasis of planetary activity in your sign will activate pioneering initiatives of some kind. These may include new perceptions and interpretations of what you previously regarded as fact. Awakening to imagine realities that you previously did not consider could prove unsettling. Mars entering Leo will activate increased energy levels and some measure of drama too.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
The Gemini factor could push you behind the scenes for a while. Meanwhile, Venus in your sign could manifest as the urge to express yourself creatively and artistically with beauty guiding your focus. Mars in Leo will contribute by firing your engines for the sake of financial returns. Investment thinking could gain more attention as you assert with added, revolutionary fervor.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
The themes of rebellion in association to this eclipse are strong in general and this will prove especially true for you and this trend will continue and deepen this month and well into July. Still, you may find yourself treading softly for the better part of this month so as not to get blasted by backlash by anyone unable to think outside of their conditioned, comfortable perceptions.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
This eclipse has and may still produce changes close to home. Some of these may seem small and relatively inconsequential, yet will be measurable just the same.  On the other hand, changes over the past several weeks and over the coming weeks and possibly months, as well, could be much more noticeable and you will learn about these very soon.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
New visions are dawning. This trend will continue throughout June. Like an upgrade to your operating system, you may feel a little lost with it for a while. Recognizing that you did not see reality as it was before and you do not now, either, because no one does, not in any absolute sense, but that you are learning to see it differently, should suffice. Awaken to new perceptions and interpretations.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Changes on relationship fronts continue to roll-in. The fuller realization of who is involved should have culminated or at least become stronger at the time of the recent Lunar Eclipse. If it is happening but you are not aware of the reasons or implications in terms of your own destiny, you probably have some work to do. Positively, new partnerships are dawning.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Subtle shifts in your lifestyle and or daily rhythm and routine continue. Due to Uranus’ influence some of these may seem counter-intuitive. Positively, a new wave of confidence and peace has found its way in. This is due to Jupiter in Pisces.  It will be there until late July before it re-enters Aquarius until it re-enters Pisces again in late December, so make the most of it.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
A creative impulse was activated at the last New Moon. Shifts in your perspectives, perhaps especially related to relationships, were featured. Outer events underway now will activate the next phase of the destiny cycle. These may catch you by surprise and you may feel a little overwhelmed by the array of activities triggered by it. This trend will continue so keep your imagination in check.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
A new level of peace has entered your consciousness. Perhaps you have come to new realizations that allow you to transcend the depth of drama unfolding in the world, or perhaps you have simply surrendered. Either way, it is probably the result of inner work you have done. Enjoy it now and prepare for a new round of creative activity that will include outer instigation.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Slowly but surely, some of your perspectives have changed.  These have likely culminated as shifts in your public and professional life, as well. Positively, you have entered an expansive mode and you feel inspired and enthusiastic to participate. Purges, cleaning, clearing the clutter and making way for the new could range from new appliances to new perspectives altogether.

Horoscope for the Week:  May 28, 2021

Tip of the Week:
The Full Moon on May 26 occurs at 6 Sagittarius 29 and it is a Lunar Eclipse. Because the Moon is symbolic of the past, roots, ancestry and history, when it is eclipsed it tends to point to the future, yet whereas Solar Eclipses tend to manifest as outer events, Lunar Eclipses usually occur as internal, subjective shifts. We know the sign and degree of the eclipse, but the other main factor is to decipher what house is being activated in your Natal Chart and is it making any strong aspects to other planets and angles. The degrees most affected will be from 4 to 9 and the signs most strongly affected are the Mutable signs: Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces and Virgo, and Taurus and Cancer. Yet, any planet or angle within this range of degrees will at least undergo subtle shifts.
Mercury turning retrograde for its usual tri-annual, 3-week cycle begins on May 30 and continues until June 21, Summer Solstice. It occurs in Gemini which, generally speaking, is the most favorable of all the signs.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
This eclipse will activate the urge for freedom. This may manifest as simply as an impulse to retreat and get away from it all for a while. Projects may be set aside for a while. Meanwhile, a flood of new perspectives has been coming in all week and this will continue. Some of these could even prove life-changing. You will ask questions and want answers, cross-referenced.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
This eclipse will trigger some rather deep changes. Positively, you will feel moved to exercise a whole new level of discipline. As well, it could trigger a rebellious urge to break through whatever you deem to be blocking your way. It could also manifest as an industrious period. With Mercury retrograde, the bigger challenge will be to overcome bull-headed pride…
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Changes on relationship fronts will   likely be activated by the eclipse. These will be linked to your perceptions and priorities. While your focus will be sharp, you could find yourself reconsidering previously-held opinions and interpretations. One way or another, you will push to get to the bottom of things and this could prove upsetting, yet liberating.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Shifts and adjustments in your daily routine will be activated this week. At worst, these could prove awkward and complicated yet, positively, they will lead to needed improvements. This is an extra strong instance when getting out of your comfort zone could prove necessary. Philosophical and spiritual inspirations are featured and you may even undergo some measure of enlightenment.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
You may fair better than most from the impact of this eclipse. Creative inspirations are likely, yet your whole chart has to be considered. The influence of Mercury retrograde could produce high ideals, yet these may also manifest as wishful thinking. Some measure of inner work will help if only to reconsider prior notions and interpretations. ‘Think with your heart and feel with your mind’.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Your home, family and living situation, in general, is likely to undergo some changes due to this eclipse. Positively, these will lead to expansion of some sort due to the influence of Jupiter in Pisces. So, what may at first appear negative could come around as a positive impulse. Besides, anything less will be met by a rebellious drive welling-up from within.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Many new thoughts, ideas, beliefs and philosophies will come to your awareness over the coming weeks. In some respects, you could take a complete 180 regarding prior-held perspectives. At worst, due to Mercury retrograde, you could feel lost and confused for a while. This will activate a drive to take inventory of your assets, resources and options.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Taking account of things could have an all-encompassing influence on your life starting this week.  Beyond finances, your very self-concept could undergo some review. An already existing urge to rebel activated a few weeks ago will go to the next effective level. Beyond thoughts and theories, now you will push for real answers and solutions.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
This eclipse occurring in your sign will activate some pioneering initiatives. Expect your ambition levels to deepen. Contending an urge to escape or to deny certain realities will prove counter-productive. If   ever there was a time to access your inner confidence and determination to make important inner changes regarding your usual mode of approach, it is now.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Since this eclipse is occurring in your solar 12^th house, it may go unnoticed since governs your subconscious mind. On the other hand, it could trigger many new realizations and epiphanies, thoughts   and ideas that have been waiting for  their opportunity to  come to your conscious attention. Set your intention for this latter outcome and co-create new realizations.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
This eclipse will have an extra strong impact on your overall sense of individuality. It will also likely activate philosophical thoughts linked to truth and justice. Yet, you will also feel a fresh impulse to do something about it, to make extra efforts that you would not otherwise. Mercury retrograde will prove complicated as well, challenging you to not take things too personally.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Your public and professional life will feel the impact of this eclipse. Yet, it could prove to be the exact boost of inspiration, woven with necessity to activate a needed pioneering push to expand beyond existing perimeters. Mercury retrograde could also activate some complex waves yet these too may best be harnessed to lead you to brainstorm and outline the possibilities regarding new streams of income.

Horoscope for the Week:  May 21, 2021

Tip of the Week:
Gemini time begins under the light of the waxing Moon, seeded in Taurus. This reveals the usual seasonal themes of people spending lots of time in their gardens. The influence of Mars in Cancer is synchronizing with renovations and other projects which will bring about transformational outcomes. The Sun joins Mercury, Venus and the Lunar North Node in the sign of the twins which will manifest as increased dialogue and communication ranging from which flowers to plant and where to what is really going on in the world, 14 months after the 2-week lockdown to ‘flatten the curve’ within the context of ‘the opportunity to activate a great reset of the global economy’, with a ‘nothing to see here’ message being blasted daily via media sources. Jupiter travelling slowly through the early degrees of Pisces will be, by now, synchronizing with some of its destined synchronicities ranging from heightened spiritual aspiration to rising reason for mass hysteria. Gemini encourages flexibility and adaptability.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Doing the rounds not only continues, but the pace is accelerating. Digging deep and getting right down to the roots and the bottom of things remains a central theme. Weaving fun-in-the-sun into your otherwise industrious mood is likely. A yearning for retreat and peace and quiet is there in the mix subject to Jupiter in Pisces’ influence on you – heed its call.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
When it comes to knowledge and skill, you are ever keen to learn new angles and techniques. This is not just interesting; it makes you feel confident that you will always have the opportunity to earn money.  As the sign of ‘multiple streams of income’, this may prove especially appealing to you at this time. Fortunately, your desire to learn is running high as are your energy levels.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
The Sun entering your sign and joining forces with your ruling planet, Mercury, and Venus and the North Node altogether suggest that you are in a restless mood.  You want to go where you have not before, to gain new knowledge and perspective from your experiences. Jupiter in Pisces may prove expansive in your public and professional life, but cautions against over-imaginative thinking.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Despite the inviting weather, you yearn to retreat more than usual. Jupiter in Pisces is destined to activate philosophical reflection and perhaps spiritual aspiration. In short, you may find yourself praying more. Sometimes it is good to know, while at other times not knowing feels best  and this time it may be the latter that wins out, especially in terms of the daily news.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
You have entered a punchy and revolutionary cycle.  The deeper purpose of it is to awaken you to new perceptions, self-concepts and aspects of your overall sense of individuality. The process may feel disruptive, yet as you awaken to realize the purpose of it and not just brush it off as a moody period, you will be able to make the necessary adjustment to embrace the destined shift.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Fresh starts in your public and professional life continue. These began early in the month and will continue well into June. Perhaps you are embarking on a new career path or feel it is time to assert yourself to gain the earned recognition you feel you deserve and to perhaps push for a promotion. One way or another, you want to be seen and heard!
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Stepping back to see a bigger picture is likely now. Yet, in this posture, having binoculars would apply as you also want to see the details from this wide angle perspective. A sense of commitment to your future is featured and is directly related to your health, specifically, and to the overall quality of your lifestyle, generally. Yes, this theme continues.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You have arrived at yet another time or place requiring careful considering. Should you go left or right, south or north in or out…? These and other such decisions may require some measure of discernment. It is worth noting that one direction leads to your true destiny, while the other likely reveals ego desires that lead you away from it.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Gemini factor has and continues to stimulate your relationship life. With the Sun now involved, the energy levels involved will be measurably higher. You likely yearn for harmony and the inner lesson to learn is that it must come more from within than is to be expected to come from without.  In this regard, it is up to you to take the diplomatic lead.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Tending to unfinished business is likely now. In this regard, you may find that you are busy on a variety of fronts. It is probably better that you complete than initiate at this time.  The time to pursue new leads will arrive in about 4-6 weeks. So, this gives you plenty of time to make sure that yesteryear and today are on the same page leaving you feeling whole, complete and up-to-date.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
You have entered an extra creative cycle. It includes new initiatives and variety.  Hopefully you will feel inspired to bring the playful enthusiasm it implies to the fore. Mars in Cancer does imply the need for extra efforts. These may be more about working on you yourself, than doing outer work, if not more. Focus to integrate some changes in your usual approach with the goal of making it the new norm.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
A busy cycle close to home continues.  In fact, the emphasis is even stronger than it was. A central theme includes stimulating new streams of income. These could be as basic as planting a garden. Not all ‘income’ need necessarily be equated to monetary reward and could generally be regarded as ‘returns’. Yet, you will want to feel as though your efforts will prove rewarding.

Horoscope for the Week:  May 14, 2021 Tip of the Week: Jupiter in Pisces (May 13 – July 28) is among the top stories this week. This 10-week cycle is sure to synchronize with a lot of drama, intrigue and controversy. The overall portrait reveals a bowl chart pattern, which tends to manifest as an array of orientations towards new experiences. With Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer, the two ruling planets of Scorpio and both also occupying degree positions directly associated with Scorpio, it appears that there is little likelihood that we will be able to go through this time period without the purge, and purification, change and transformation, death and rebirth that represent the core characteristics of Scorpio. Of itself, Jupiter in Pisces will manifest as religious fervor, and spiritual aspiration, but also holds the potential for mass deception and hysteria. The stage is set globally for such reactions subject to divisions sowed by popular media and countered by the flow of information by the efforts of concerned citizens the world over. Let us pray… Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) The flow finds you busy on a variety of fronts. In some respects, you feel determined to get to the bottom of things, literally and figuratively. Renovations remain likely. This trend will continue through mid-June especially. Expect to be busy on a variety of fronts. This includes keeping-up with the latest intel, to which you will want to respond, as well as be informed. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) Gemini time activates interests in variety and you will be happy to align with it. Doing the rounds as opposed to trying to complete any one project is likely. Cooperative efforts will also prove more satisfying allowing you to socialize and be productive at the same time. In the deeper reaches, your entire philosophy of life is changing to adapt to the changing times. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Keeping busy behind the scenes continues. Yet, you are also excited to explore new avenues of self expression. Positively, you are inspired and enthusiastic to engage in creative projects that you have never tried before.  Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer is leading you to dig deep somehow and this includes more effort than usual. Themes of security are featured. Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22) Breaking through barriers of any kind to lay claim to a fuller scope of your creative power is a central theme now. You may even choose to leave long-standing involvements both in your personal and perhaps in your professional life too. You yearn to expand your horizons and to reach for distant shores. Some of your choices may take you and others by surprise. Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23) Last week’s New moon sowed seeds of material ambition and professional power. You yearn to make some of your dreams come true and are willing to reach out to others you deem allies. This could well lead to new professional relationships and friendships too. Returns for past efforts are indicated which could boost your confidence supportive of dreams coming true. Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22) Seeing both a bigger picture and with a deeper understanding too is a central theme now. This will contribute to a new level of confidence and synchronize with social and professional expansion and increase. Meanwhile, an ardent push for truth is already and will continue to activate an edgy approach. Be empathetic with your vigilance, for best results. Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) Deep changes were activated by the Taurus New Moon. Some of these are directly linked to financial realities. In other respects, the emphasis is on new perspectives and changes in your philosophy. On other fronts yet, the influences are directed precisely at your public and professional life. Getting and or giving special training is likely and ideal. Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21) Your relationship life is receiving some fresh, springtime activations. These are activating both your desires and your ambitions. Yet, you may have to give more in terms of learning new skills and acquiring new tools. You may also choose to hire out and take full advantage of the expertise of others. Altogether, this stands to be an abundant cycle. Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21) The emphasis on health continues to take the spotlight. Since health encompasses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, there is ever opportunity for improvement. Generally, the emphasis is on building upon and strengthening your overall foundation and constitution. Gaining knowledge from others is indicated and will help you to see what was previously hidden. Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) The Taurus New Moon activated your creative sectors. This impulse will likely manifest as innovative and inventive ideas, plans and schemes. With Jupiter entering Pisces, a boost of imaginative thinking will inspire new designs. Other factors suggest that the time has come to bring long-standing dreams out from the back of your mind and down into reality. Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19) Whether literally or figuratively, the effects of the Taurus Moon cycle will sow seeds and produce sprouts of abundance. Over the coming weeks, you may be surprised and delighted to receive returns on investments made a long time ago. While it will remain important for you to know where and how you need to ‘pay your dues’, you will feel more confident doing so. Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20) Directing your attention to a variety of inspirational activities should be apparent by now. Your energy levels should be running higher than usual, as well.  With your creative juices flowing so abundantly, you could experience a very productive cycle with both practical and purely inspirational returns. Use this window of opportunity to complete projects initiated previously for best results. Michael O’Connor Life Coach Astrologer Website ~ Email ~ Book a Reading 1-800-836-0648 ReplyForward

Horoscope for the Week:  May 7, 2021
 
Tip of the Week:
May days are here. These are generally deemed precious in light of the annual, seasonal round. The Taurus side of these has been strongly activated this year. As it is, this year’s Taurean influences indicate an especially creative theme and one which also will be colored by sudden and unexpected turns and events.
These can be recognized to have begun two weeks ago and will continue all month and will into June. Positively, these are contributing to bring the world closer. Negatively, they include change, transformation and even death. Yes, the world is changing and there is no ‘going back to normal’.
That humanity as a whole is fully in the process of taking such a hard turn will continue and this month will  prove especially powerful as it is a Universal 1-Month in Numerology,  which symbolizes and will synchronize with many new initiatives and  the seeds of ‘new norms’.
The New Moon in Taurus occurs on May 11.
 
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
A creative work cycle continues. Digging deep can refer to many things, but it is a central theme. Perhaps you are building an addition to your house or garden, or doing renovations, or plumbing the depths of your psyche to clear limiting beliefs and self-concepts… However you do it, be ready to go deeper and harder than you might have imagined.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your energy levels are spiking. These will lend to your overall mode of perception and interpretation. At worst, you could come on strong in a defensive and abrasive manner. Positively, you will be able to harness your emotions and direct them to get a lot done and quickly. This may prove to be a career-advancing time if other factors of destiny are also aligned. Go hard, conscientiously.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
A time of retreat for you, continues. One way or another, however, themes of security is featured. Circumstances may lead or even push you to see through and beyond your dreams and ideals, your illusions and denials. This will require will and courage to admit to the possibility that you were wrong about someone or some relationship or popular social belief.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
The Sun in Taurus symbolizes a rebellious time for you. With the Sun conjunct Uranus cycle now underway, along with last week’s Mercury/Venus conjunction, thinking critically may feel more important than ever. This trend will continue. With Mars now in your sign where it will remain through to mid-June, you may find yourself pushing harder than you have in a very long time.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Shifts, starts and new initiatives in your public and professional life will become increasingly evident this week.  Next week’s Taurus New Moon will activate even more, measurably so. Generally, this is an expansive time for you and requires your deepened commitment to make sincere efforts to do what you feel you must to succeed. Be willing to innovate for best results.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
You are in a philosophical mood. It may be supporting you to see more widely, deeply and clearly. Prior held notions and convictions may, therefore, be countered and adjusted. It does remain that you  must contend with a mix of low-lying concerns, anxieties and outright fears, especially regarding your welfare and those of others you love.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The powerful Taurean influences should be apparent by now. These will prove quite stimulating for you, true to the spring season, inspiring all measure of creative expressions and explorations. The contributions of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius will likely manifest as inventiveness. Meanwhile, a powerful push on social and professional fronts is also featured.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The strong influence of Taurus is directly impacting your relationship life. Changes are implied and some of these may emerge as from left field. Themes of freedom part of the plot. A mix of confidence and fear is also indicated, which has probably been true all year. Positively, you are on the eve of a very creative push.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Lifestyle themes continue to emerge. The emphasis is on cultivating new habits. These will invariably require you to take the initiative. Breaking negative habits or routines that simply are no longer satisfactory is featured. To break a bad habit, see through and beyond its implications and associate as much pain to it as you can. Do the opposite for new and better habits.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
An extraordinarily creative cycle has begun for you. This cycle will actually continue throughout May. So, tune-in and answer the calls of inspiration sounding in your mind. This overall process may require you to clear the clutter, both literally and figuratively. With a clean space and/or state of mind, you will likely feel much more confident and enthusiastic.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The Aquarian Age is very much associated with the information superhighway. That is why there should be no doubt that we are indeed in the Age of Aquarius. In any case, circumstances are pushing you to engage your imagination as positively as you can. This means, exercise a wider scope of relativistic thinking and do not succumb to conclusions, assumptions and negative hallucinations.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Taurus time is one during which your intellectual juices flow very strongly. Yet, it is also a time when you yearn to be outside in nature even more than usual. With awareness, you can respond to both with full satisfaction. The secret is to avoid extremes on either front. In both regards, you will notice that new experiences, or at least fresh starts, hold greater appeal than usual.
