You get what you ask for, if and when, you act in harmony with what you want!

For us this month, all the time spent working behind the scenes is about to pay off with notable progress moving us forward. There may be a sleepy start as Mercury goes direct on May 3rd

May 3 — Mercury Direct at 24 degrees of Aries — So, the planet that rules communication and transportation returns to its normal movement today, but remember that even though it will be officially direct, the several days after a direction change can be most haywire in daily activities and it will take until May 21st until the transit is completely clear.

The Sun in Taurus also makes a beautiful angle with Neptune today making it a great day for quiet personal pursuits.

Even though Mercury’s retrograde shadow period lasts until May 21st as mentioned and Venus will also take until May 19th to regain its full strength. However, even in the time of these remaining shadow periods during the month, there are some excellent aspects to help start moving things along, especially starting May 9th
Mars (and later in the month, the Sun) in Gemini really bring the desire for movement, physical and otherwise, and there definite progress and major manifestations.

Even though the Sun and Mercury spend time in the grounded sign of Taurus, the predominant energies are Aries and Gemini. Air and fire feeding off of each other and the general restlessness and calls to action associated with both Gemini and Aries can’t help but bring long-awaited manifestations and focus away from the past and into blazing future trails.

At the same time, there will definitely be hiccups along the way as every sweet aspect this month seems to be accompanied by a tricky one. The best way to manage these energies is to make the forward efforts as long as they are flowing and then during the times where an impediment makes itself manifest, hold up and observe until clarity and flow return, so you can continue forward.

Starting May 21st we have our first period of time in this year free from personal planet retrogrades (or their shadows). This open time runs from May 21st – July 24th
Some bursts of sweet energy could come in on or near:

May 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, 21, 25, 28, 30.

Expect some temporary impediments to the inevitable changes that are in process:

May 3, 10, 11, 18, 19, 21 25, 28, 29.

This month also we have a New Moon – Supermoon in Gemini, on May 25, 2017 at 22.44 GMT.

Since all New Moons are “seeding times”, this is a time to set your intention for communicating your ideas. It’s a fresh chapter for you to write. The New Moon is an ideal time to set your intentions for the coming thirty days. If you utilize the energy of Gemini you might want to consider intentions and goals that involve the ways in which you communicate, and how your message is coming across. Learning is also part of the Gemini field, as is the way your mind operates. Also, high on the Gemini list of priorities is socializing and exchanging information. On a deeper level, healing the split that can occur when the Gemini twins are separated is part of the work of becoming a fully integrated person.

Gemini is a “mercurial” or changeable sign, the chameleon of the zodiac. At this New Moon, allow yourself to be more flexible in your mental outlook. Are you feeling “stuck” or in a rut? The Gemini New Moon gives you a breath of fresh air and a chance to appreciate the humor in life. Is there something you wish to accomplish? Writing down your list of goals is the first step.

Are you feeling the urge to branch out mentally or intellectually at this time? Perhaps learn a new language….a writing class…public speaking…..take a short trip? Conversely, are you ready to write or speak about what you know….or preparing to “sell” a new business plan?

Often a sibling will occupy much of your thoughts or time during a Gemini New Moon. If you have sibling (or even a close friend) that you have not communicated with in a while, this is the time to do so.

CANCER

Widening the vistas of your very existence is what this month makes you do. You still extend warmth and friendship, as well as cooperation at work. All the trends – which started last month will now gain momentum, focus and direction. You reach out to people in a rare show of warmth, connubial bliss and friendship. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented month. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is higher then usual. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

Your responsibility and authority are likable qualities now, making this an encouraging period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. You are most charismatic and well-received on the job. You are socially go-getting right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your spouse. People who turn your head are those who come across as especially competent.

This is the time to research and reflect upon your objectives. It could also be a time when much of your efforts are channeled into private/secret matters. Unconscious behavior patterns could manipulate the way you assert yourself. Some may experience sleeplessness, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recover and if they are not letting their instinct serve them. Others may enjoy a more dynamic dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if permitted to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, particularly with regards to new concepts.

Now is the time to re-evaluate what makes you — YOU. How can you create a happy aura that will fulfill your desires for what you crave in life? Keep that warm and friendly quality about you and keep that teamwork ability you possess in your professional lifestyle. Your magnetism revolves around an element of mystery and fascination rather than outgoing charm.

There is positive momentum that you carry forward from last month. These aspects will only grow stronger for you now, stimulating your own creativity and pursuits. Your warm qualities are intensified as you feel the need to stir up your chemistry with your lover. You feel closeness with friends that mean so much to you and you have a wonderful sense of belonging and caring. You are looking for excitement, adventure, and immediate feedback from partners and lovers.

Your goals seem to be easily attainable with the encouraging support from friends and family. Attitude is positive, energy is high and the overall quality of life is at its best. The interest from others is intense and you are noticed in almost everything you do. Follow those dreams and make a wish. You will be happy that you did.
This month will make you want to expand your horizons. You don’t want to reach for the sky, you want to widen the vistas of your very existence. People around you at work will notice your all-encompassing attitude during this time and may work with you either to help you achieve your goals or to better their own positions. Your warmth and friendship at work will guarantee cooperation from others, regardless of their own agendas.

You will reach out to people in a variety of ways, either by one-on-one contact, a phone call, email or wall post. Your friendly hand will be met in kind and you can expect the people around you will do more than nothing at all to help you in your quest. This month will focus on your goals and you should become goal-oriented now if you were not before. There are things you need to do in order to advance your career and you know what those are; now take the steps needed to put you where you want to be.

Your own agenda will be strangely lively during this time and you will have many meetings, gatherings or parties to attend. It is imperative you show up at these events and mingle with the people in your field. Because your energy for making contact with others is high during this time, it should not be a difficult thing to do.

This is the time to pursue your dreams, and use the people around you to help you get where you want to go. People may be willing to help you for some consideration in the future and you should not snub these offers without some thought. Plant seeds now to reap what you wish in the future.

AQUARIUS

House or office may require renovation, refurbishing or expansion. Perhaps even a shift for either the office home factory/workplace. You want working conditions that satisfy you in every way, physically, technically and in the prevailing atmosphere and will take all steps to achieve just that. You may also decide to invest in labour-saving devices / gadgets to streamline your efficiency both at home and in the office. At the same time, there is a desire to retrace your roots and origins, to go back in time. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to.

All your mental activity will be intensely personal, subjective and even egocentric. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual this month. As a result, fresh acquaintances and friendships come to you, giving pleasure, inspiration and ideas. This month, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Try smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills.

This is a very expansive time when you have lots of liveliness, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. Now such a careless attitude may lead to undesired troubles. You take much more interest in play and pleasure! Your love life may step up a notch, and you could be excited and passionate, more than ever. Try being patient in delicate moments, as impulsiveness can ruin yours and someone else’s intimate moments. Also, watch out for an inclination towards gambling, stock markets and betting. Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends.

Your home life is a bit chaotic at the moment. You now tend to make much more changes in your personal life in order to feel happier and contented in your life. This will be no easy task given the state your life is currently in, but if you work hard enough at something, anything is possible.

Investment in the way you spend your time with loved ones is not a bad idea either. Effectiveness and priority is always a good thing in reaching your goals and desires. These days, security and maturity are especially appealing to you in a partner, and this is a trend that is likely to last for some time. While romantic overtures remain intriguing to you, you are more interested in proof than talk.

On a romantic level, there are likely to be some challenges, intimacy problems, and certainly a more serious tone. Lack of intimacy or other flaws in casual relationships may seem glaring right now. Use this time wisely to get close to new friends and family and strengthen ties among them. Build your emotional foundation of who you really are so that as you venture out into the world, you will always have a wonderful place to fall back on if need be.

Your house or office may require some renovation or even refurnishing to help you out of your current slump. Changing your surroundings can have a big impact on the way you look at life and how you act. This is a fine time to consider picking up some new furniture.

You want a stimulating work environment that will satisfy you in every field; physical and technical satisfaction are important parts of the workplace to you. You will make plans to attain that status and to be truly happy with the work you do. Labor-saving devices or gadgets can boost your efficiency at home or the office. To make contracting your work easier, consider hitting up Facebook to find skilled people you never thought were there. At the same time, a strong desire to get in touch with your roots and origins could be overwhelming you. To find yourself can be a fairly daunting task so don’t be afraid of the likely confusion which you’re in line to feel.

This is a time to do whatever you’re able to do in order to feel closer to your family and friends and build or maintain your own, strong foundation. Regardless of who you meet out in the world over the next few months, you will have a secure base of operations at your home if you can keep the people you associate with happy.

ARIES

A time when you will truly need to “walk the talk”, stand by your beliefs and convictions. You will have a lot on your plate and most of it will pertain to money – both for immediate needs and future gains. Financial matters become important or at least the main focus, but good moves should be thought out. Property and possessions, rentals, funds, investments, and even cash transactions. There may be profits or income from property, land and real estate. Don’t try for fast cash or the quick buck.

That doesn’t last and can give you a sense of false security. In fact, you might just be barking up the wrong tree in terms of career or personal gains through sheer pride or ego. Back your own judgment, but do so with caution and restraint. You know instinctively what works best for you. Just go ahead sensibly, keeping your own counsel as far as possible. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything this month. There is a certain determination building up within you to alter not just your life or circumstances, but practically cast yourself in a new image. This image needs to connect to the way you want to see yourself, in terms of appearance, health, physique, attitudes and mindset – all adding up to the quality of life plus lifestyle. Others find you agreeable and co-operative. People could literally approach you and appreciate you for who you are. You now know what works best for you and you have great wisdom inside you.

You are likely to have countless ideas/thoughts and plans going and you might scatter your focus as a result. If channeled well, this is an excellent time to showcase your ideas and do presentations. Avoid rash driving or impatience while performing manual odd jobs, generally with the hands that may lead to accidents. It is advised to be alert on the road or while operating machinery. This is a fine phase to work on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

Now is the time to stand up tall, hold your head up high and really believe in what you have and what you want. With so much going on in your life right now it is the least you can do for yourself. If you’re with someone, your partner might very well accuse you of subscribing to the what’s mine is mine and what’s ours is mine philosophy.

Your monetary needs are coming up and the burden of what to do is close at hand. If anyone can spot a manipulative tactic, it’s you. And yet, people at home or work likely suspect that it’s you who’s making the power-play. Take your time and strategize. Hasty decisions will only result in bad outcomes. Evaluate all of your assets before coming up with a plan, including your property, rentals, investments and even cash transactions. These are all important aspects that you should look over.

Now imagine it isn’t money you’ve discovered, but a new talent within you. Now all of this could also mean you are too busy with your own personal issues and tend to overlook your love relationship for a while. Stand up for what you feel is right but do it with a humble presence. An increased ego or overly too much pride will hurt you in the long run. Step forward with a sure and strong footing, but do it with a level head.

If you’ve heard of “walking the walk” as the saying goes, then you know what you need to do now. Standing up by and for your beliefs or convictions is a good way to make yourself stand out from the people around you. Blending in is fine if you don’t want your boss or a specific peer to give you trouble but, sometimes, you’ve just got the voice your opinion on a pertinent matter.

You’re going to have a lot to deal with ahead of you and most of it will deal with money; acquiring as much as quickly as possible and spending as little as you can get away with spending without compromising your company or yourself. If you’re looking for a new way to spread the word about your business or industry, don’t shy away from popular social networking sites; they are free advertising for you. Avoid fast cash or other money-making schemes. You know these methods never work out like they are supposed to and you don’t want a false sense of security to make you complacent.

Do not back down, back your own judgments but go ahead with caution. You already know what works best so now is the time to put your knowledge into action. Go forward sensibly and keep your counsel as far as possible.

CAPRICORN

This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. A rich, fruitful and happy phase comes to you and you’re enjoying it. The spice of life is there for you in the variety of interests, activities, and feelings that you are bound to experience this month. Don’t fly too high or too far — risky moves, rashness, over-confidence that nothing can go wrong or just foolhardy behavior. Some danger or possible mishap may be lurking. Risk-taking, speculation must be avoided. Also, rashness in an affair of the heart which might leave you hurt and scattered, if not shattered.

There is a marvelous closeness built up with parents, older people, in-laws, who might not always approve of your eccentric and strongly different opinions. This month, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence – a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

You tend to work hard and your day-to-day responsibilities will demand more attention. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. You become aggressive on your job or regarding your service responsibilities. It might be hard for you to work with others in a pleasant manner, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling particularly annoyed, irritated or impatient, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can guide excess vigor gainfully.

Two main themes surface now, a) Setting yourself free in the flow, and b) You now see things in the reality, and also get the right path and right resources to accomplish life goals that seemed impossible a few months ago. Patience and perseverance along with integrity at work are required of you now. This is not a good time to begin a new venture, ask for a promotion, or try to expand your activities in any way.

The desire for “play time” is certainly with you this month, and, for the most part, your powers of attraction are running high. Your creativity pours out and creates an inspiration for you that exceeds your normal abilities. Your emotions show this and everyone will see. Have fun with it and its playful attitude it gives you.

You’ve been protecting yourself long enough. Now is the time to take charge and try new things. Use your inspiration and get spontaneous. Take a chance on something you would normally pass up. Feel the desire and go with it instead of holding back. Your efforts will not go unnoticed and will prove positive and prolific for you. It is what is called the spice of life. It is there for you to enjoy to the fullest extent physically, mentally and more so, emotionally.

Do, however, be careful in overindulging. There are limits to everything you do. Enjoy the fruits of life, but do not get overly confident or feel that nothing can go wrong. Go over these limits and you’ll see just how badly something wonderful can go awry. Take a chance on love but don’t take a ‘risk’. You’ll know the difference.

Compared to other months of the year, this is one that will have you feeling playful and inspired. It seems like an excellent time for you to tackle that creative project you have been putting off for just the right moment. This free feeling may be standard for some, but others may feel out of step.

After a time when you were very conservative, this new spontaneity and willingness to take risks may surprise you. If you were looking to ask for a raise, or invite a colleague to a dinner or event, prepare yourself and make your request. There are many different things in life you could enjoy and right now you have access to them; people, places and things that interest you are all within reach. You should not ignore any strong feelings you have during this time but also remember not to let being on top of the world make you feel like you are above the world. A surplus of confidence has ruined many good people and even during this time of high spirits you are not immune.

Just to be clear, you should avoid any high-risk behaviors which you normally would avoid but find yourself interested in at this time. You are not superman even if you feel invincible right now. There are pleasures to be found close to home which you can enjoy without making any sudden travel decisions. Have a good time with people you know to be responsible.

GEMINI

You will have a sense of awareness of your own limitations this month, leading up to your birthday phase, be they physical, emotional or even financial, as well as a sense of being confined and restricted. There could be some rivalry, hard feelings generated that could trigger off either of these reactions. NOT a time to go overboard, in terms of self-pity, to see troubles where none exist, or attempt to solve the world’s problems. It might be a good idea to maintain a low profile and be less vocal. A time to make special efforts to get along with others – both professionally and personally. Changes initiated now may prove beneficial in the long run, both materially and otherwise.

Forming pleasant, affectionate social friendships, possibly related to activities within an organization/society, can show up this month. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. The bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy this month. This way you can turn good relationships into everlasting relationships. You are more peace-loving than normal, somewhat detached on a personal level and more connected to the outer-world. You will be friendlier, more magnanimous but also more extravagant.

You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual this month. You will do your best to make an impression and these attempts are either assisted or challenged by the circumstances in which you find yourself and by others. You have get-up-and-go attitude to move your plans further, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way – however big or small – and you are excited to do so.

You may now want to stop and re-evaluate your needs and desires. Physically, emotionally and financially you will want to tread calmly until this phase passes for you. You may feel quite restricted in what you do and perhaps this is why you may want to run and hide from the world. It’s a very strong time for smoothing out complications that likely arose in your relationships last month.

Maybe a conflict or a rival that has surfaced is the reason for all of this. You tend to review your choices and options. No need to take unnecessary risks or do anything too extreme. Issues of sharing, including financial matters, can be the source of some conflict or drama. Now is definitely not the time to make ripples or waves in the water. Do not wallow or try to feel you can fix the world’s problems.

Use this time to re-evaluate your life and perhaps change what is not working well for you. Make an extra added effort to get along with others around you whether it is professionally or personally. Keeping low key and considering what could make your life easier is a good approach.

During this month, you will come to be more aware of your unique limitations and breaking points. It is a time of tests, yes, but do not fall into despair; though your awareness will be heightened up to and even following your birthday phase, the feelings of restriction or being confined are not going to last.

A sense or actual being of rivalry could come over you so keep your eyes on the people closest to you. This not only helps to add to your apprehensive attitude during this time but could get you into further trouble yet if you jump the gun. This is no time to go overboard or make large changes with likely large consequences. You can’t solve the world’s problems, even if you were able to help out someone in a department with some specific issue recently. Self-pity will do you no good during this time either. Perhaps the best advice for you during this month is to lay low and keep from standing out. Avoid any big meetings about budgets, spending or other monetary matters. If your voice is absolutely necessary to resolve a specific issue, say only what you need to say and don’t leave what you say open to interpretation; clear, concise communication will save you from loads of trouble.

This is a time to make real efforts at getting along with others, both at work and in your personal life. The more people you can befriend and bring over to helping you in your endeavours, the fewer people you need to worry about working against you or trying to sabotage you. For your well-being as a whole, do not hesitate to extend an olive branch even to someone with whom you’ve been feuding.

LEO

Recognition, rewards, greater power and prestige, even your assets, property, belongings are enhanced greatly. The time is being truly generous, and you deserve it. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this month in the year.

A taste for the out of the ordinary is favored this month. Regular affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You will accept pleasure from anything and everything that expands your horizons, both physically and emotionally. Distant connections and places may for the most part appeal now. You have a tendency to be outgoing and liberal when it comes to love. Public relations work, promotion, and other such activities are favored. It is more about how you communicate yourself than the essentials of what you are saying that helps influencing others to you.

Group activities and joint efforts are the best way to accomplish your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. You would want to organize projects and put things in shape. Your humanitarian inclination may be stirred. The part you play for other people in your life comes to the forefront now. You may experience that your tasks list gets swarming with things to do (usually for others). You may take actions to achieve your more personal long-term goals as well.
You are sensual and earthy in your sexual desires. The libido is strong, but controlled. Things are about to take off for you. You feel a positive vibe in relationships and other aspects of your life. You have truly worked hard for these rewards so sit back and enjoy them, you deserve it all.

Stay in contact with higher ups and authority figures and this will help in reaching your goals. Whether you expect recognition or not, it will be there, staring you in the face and along with it will be more responsibility to take on. Tensions are building involving your own ability to take the lead and to manage others. Do what you feel is true and right in your heart. You are very noticeable to everyone around you in evaluation and/or in inspiration so your decisions will not go unrecognized.

Committed relationships offer you more stability, and if you’re not in one, you might be feeling a tad insecure. One-on-one relationships are becoming increasingly important to you now. Some of you will be taking on business partners, and some will be bringing more work to a romantic partnership in some way. While career matters are especially pressing this month, it will be helpful to keep that stress at the office so that you can better enjoy your love life.

Prepare for many things in your life to be heightened, enhanced and made better. Recognition for your deeds and work, rewards, prestige and even some power could be coming your way. This is a generous time but since you have been so generous with the people around you in the past, you deserve it and everyone involved knows it. Allow your peers to indulge you and do not be averse to a business dinner with the boss.

Your vision is practical right now; you know what kind of results are realistic and you expect to see tangible results for your efforts. The people around you know that you do things to get them done quickly and efficiently, and more contact with your authority figures is likely. It’s nothing to worry about though as they’re likely to be showering you with praise or recognition for your great performance. Whether you are seeking it or not, some added responsibility may come along with this recognition.

That is the way business works, but some people would rather not deal with any more needs than right now. It is not a selfish attitude, but if you want to get further than you are right now you need to be more willing to give more of yourself to what you do in life.

Things are going so well for you, you may go head over heels trying to make left or right of them. Don’t worry if all the sudden activity surrounding you leaves you feeling confused. Do what you feel is right and know that during this month, you are most visible this year. Get the most you can out of small compliments and capitalize on greater ones, unafraid to take what you want and deserve.

LIBRA

Once again, you’ll have to focus your attention on money matters (legacies, trusts, loans or fund-raising) even though there may still be some health problems nagging at you. Pending matters may come to an end; there could be a death, a legacy causing you sorrow and joy/relief at the same time. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This is an especially introspective month during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents.

One-to-one linking appeals to you more than group activities or more casual associations. If single, you are more eager than usual to enter into a devoted relationship. In general, you are flexible when it comes to your affections – very willing to negotiate and make harmony. Smoothing out your close/special affairs is what makes you pleased. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

This month, you are more than ever passionate and daring. Some agitation and desire for exciting activity is experienced. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities and opportunities for higher studies, travel or simply new subjects may be presented. You become aggressively involved in expanding your basic beliefs and your philosophies about life. You may find someone that you are willing to follow; this person may be a spiritual guru or a business mentor. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don’t tire you out.

You can now be addicted to the thrill of getting to know a person inside and out, and to the power of love and sex. Intensity is especially important you now. It is time to move on to issues that relate more to others than you, that are about to arise. Past issues will resolve themselves or will dissolve enough to need less of your consideration.

Be prepared for a death (as in end of a problem or a relationship) that will cause you both pleasure and pain at the same time. Work on ending awful lifestyle and junk that you think can bring upon a significant change in your personal life. This is a perfect time to do so. You feel the need to keep passion alive, and when it settles in a relationship, you can be addicted to flirting with other people in order to feel alive and potent.

Your desire for exploring the secrets of love and sex increases as you feel more alive than usual. Reevaluate yourself and what your intentions are. You will surprise yourself and perhaps others around you in how much you can actually change for the better. Unveil your strengths and romantic talent. It will prove positive for you in the end.

The time has come once again for you to demonstrate your skill in the handling of financial matters. Legacies or trusts, in which people you know are involved, will come to involve you as well. This is the time to make a small loan to a friend or ask for a loan yourself if you happen to need a little extra money.

Though you know how to run your money and make it work for you, your health is another thing altogether. You have no control over the length of your life and right now some health issues could be nagging at you. They need to be addressed immediately and not put off a moment longer, so it’s time to use that company insurance. Make an appointment with your doctor right away. Certain, pending matters may conclude now and that may just be by an upsetting event. A legacy may be causing you mixed emotions of sorrow and relief could occur during this phase. Pay close attention to the people you see every day and do not be afraid to administer help by stepping into an emergency by calling emergency services or administering First Aid (If you are confident to do so). Now more than ever, you are willing to explore the secrets of life. The time to dwell on yourself and do some serious introspection is now; you may uncover a personal strength or talent of which you were unaware. You know what you need to do in order to perform better and get recognized for what you do.

PISCES

You still need to learn to relate better with others, but now it’s more on the intimate and personal level – the exchange of ideas, innermost thoughts, personal beliefs rather than the emotions. Family ties, linkages of loving and caring now become sharing. Vital correspondence and contacts must not be neglected, or the necessary inputs, data and information for work-related projects, plans or activities. No carelessness of any kind to be made if you want to achieve your goals. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life.

Prosperity will grow from your inspired efforts, original ideas/techniques. With prosperity, worries do tend to fade away. If not now, you realize it will happen sooner or later. You are willing to wait. It is definite that there will be an easy flow of good things in your field of work; and greater enjoyment of life. This will pertain not only to work but also to your personal and emotional life.

There can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it–you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new.

You are now enthusiastic for household projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your gut feeling, you may be particularly defensive and protective. You may have a greater than before wish to rule the roost. Family-related conflicts and disputes may arise; you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also run into disagreements with career-related matters or people. You may have to get even with disturbing issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

This can be a very depleting and confusing time, when you do not know exactly what you want or you do not feel strong, capable, or effective. Getting along with others is difficult at best, and you may encounter many misunderstandings. While it is possible that others will deliberately attempt to deceive you now, your problems may simply be the result of poor communication.

Your life will be full of busy work such as errands, keeping in contact with others, paperwork and perhaps a bit of much needed socializing. Your energy is high so you’ll have no trouble keeping up with it all. Look to others and listen to what they have to say with open ears and an open mind. They just may be of vital importance to you and your happiness.

Your intimate moments and personal encounters are not coming to you so easily right now. You seem to have a problem in letting things run smoothly. Stop and refocus your attention and your thoughts as to what is important to you and how to better attain what your goals are. The love you lose may be the love you could have had forever.
Share your inner thoughts and personal endeavors rather than relying on emotions to attain what you desire. So, if an idea pops, act on it – for it plays a role in your continued development. If you’re hooked up, you’re ready for a new level of commitment. On your next date get personal with your lover on a more intellectual level. You may be surprised at how close you both can become. Do not ignore the ones trying to get your attention. Stay focused on sharing your ideals, personal aspects and deeper morals if you desire that deeper level of bonding. Regardless of your relationship status, you need someone who can engage your curious mind.

Improving your interpersonal relations requires you to invest quite some amount of time and effort. Right now, exchanging your ideas or other, deep thoughts should take precedence over emotional exchanges. Your family and the other people you love now become most important in your life.

You can use social networking sites like Facebook to keep in touch with all the people you care about but cannot see as often as you would like. It is crucial you do not ignore your vital correspondence or other inputs. If you want to achieve the goals you have set, you cannot afford to be careless at all during this time. That means, if you do end up contacting friends or family through some social networking site, be sure not to post anything that would leave you feeling embarrassed or otherwise in the red. Know that the people around you can see what you say and it is not so anonymous as you might have thought. Errands or paperwork should be taking up a lot of time during this phase so expect to be well and busy.

It will cost lots of energy for you to understand, then adapt, to your immediate environment. Your neighbors, siblings and other close friends or relatives are about to become major players on the stage of your life. Keep yourself open to spontaneous meetings or other gatherings and keep a hold on your tongue if you feel tempted to speak out of turn as this may have some consequences.

SAGITTARIUS

You may be making changes in your job/profession, in your relationships with colleagues and co-workers, health and diet. There may be some mental strain, or perhaps financial difficulties, particularly relating to held-up payments that are still pending, salaries, servants, health and employee benefits or perhaps a bad debt and/or a check. Willingness to help and serve will pay dividends, both materially and in terms of a “feel-good” factor. Don’t expect gratitude and appreciation – just go ahead and do whatever needs to be done. This phase presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now.

Love (and lust) is in the air. It’s now innate for you to turn on the magic without even lifting a finger. More affectionate and appreciative interactions with your children may also figure now. Your powers of magnetism/attraction shall see new heights this month. At this time, you intuitively know how to position yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good liveliness, having excitement, and a fair share of arousing drama!

The world may be throwing demands upon you. Perhaps you could have assumed more responsibilities recently. It could be hard to find a sense of balance between responsibilities and the desire for self-gratification. Over-inflated expectations and the tendency to exaggerate your affections are things to watch out for. Start by making a priority list of tasks at hand.

Relationships are bubbly and vibrant. Partnerships may go through ego conflicts, or adversaries may be demanding. Try to work cooperatively on relationship problems, as that’s the need of the hour. When a difference arises, you are quick to resolve it, and have little tolerance for minor issues. You may become very critical of your partners/relationships, enough to stir antagonism rather than the forming of a harmonious association and the two of you could become immediate enemies. Try to accept the differences that you see between your ideal and the reality.

Your job/profession should be energetically satisfying now, but you want more out of life. The reason is – your strong motivation for a better tomorrow in terms of the rest of your life, and for your loved ones. The future holds-out promise for you – and yours – in several ways. New ventures, projects and plans keep you inspired. In any case, as a rule you have a solid perspective about your directions in your profession anyway, but wise counsel always helps.

Love might be complicated this month, although invigorating and certainly never boring! Now is the time to keep alert to vulnerable areas in your close interactions. Changes are on the horizon for you professionally and personally in dealing with health and diet issues. The demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities, and this becomes glaringly apparent now. Also, possible, your children may be going through their own changes and “stages”, and need more attention now.

Volunteer your time in helping your near and dear ones and it offers a unique experience which is worth exploring. Others are bound to find you especially attractive, personable, and approachable on the job. Pressures are easing, your confidence is building, and the important people in your life are supportive. Less focus on the flaws of your relationships and more focus on the “big picture” keeps romance lively and stimulating.

Take these trying times and use them to change the bad in your life with a more desired approach to things. Seek out what makes you happy and what could create a more positive effect in your life and in reaching your goals. Be efficient and it will show through a more organized lifestyle.

This is a period of change for you and it does not look like small, insignificant changes; the way you deal with your colleagues and co-workers could be changing because of a particularly good or bad recent occurrence. Changes in your health and to your diet which will ultimately have strong effects on you, for better or for worse, also look to be right upon you. There are strong indications for other changes as well.

Some mental strain or financial difficulties will give you greater stress during this time than you would like. Late or delayed payments, checks, benefits or salaries will leave almost everyone involved feeling hostile. Do not be late in making your payments to others and you can expect to be paid on time for your services rendered. By sending out positive energy and making the lives of others easier by doing what is right in your own, people will usually do something to make your life easier down the line. You shouldn’t expect this, as it may be no great amount of gratitude when the time comes. That doesn’t mean you should make the lives of your dependents or others more difficult than need be however.

This phase presents an opportunity to excise the things in life that are not working for you. When you cut away the chaff, you have a much easier time hauling the grain; that is, when you get rid of the bad things, you can identify the good things in your life much more easily. Learn who you can rely on for more than small favors as you strive towards perfection. Be efficient in your work and dealings.

SCORPIO

Now the focus shifts on people and relationships, ranging from personal to platonic to just professional. You will realize that to help you achieve success your people skills need to be honed. You will need to be sharp-witted and alert in order to identify potential (or even actual) threats to your welfare/progress. It may not happen but it is good to be prepared. Despite all this, this month brings you caring and sharing, that is, fine companionship, close ties with loved ones and an overall feeling of both togetherness and contentment. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

You will enjoy power and authority in your work, and helping people makes you feel good in the midst of things, because you accept their limitations compassionately.

That’s a truly marvelous mental gain, but it’s not the only one. Hard work continues, but you find it exciting and full of promise. You are doing the ground work for future glory in terms of fame, recognition, achievements in both finances and domestic life.

Closer to home, you will concern yourself with the welfare of bosses and superiors, older relatives and of course, parents and in-laws. Relationships with servants, employees, colleagues and subordinates, payments made, salaries and handouts, even giving to charitable institutions are the important aspects of the money scene.

Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

You’ve had your fair share of success – more than fair, to some people’s thinking. It’s time for you to get savvy and wise up in the worldly sense, and make sure your interests are safeguarded. What you need to do is proceed with caution, maintain a low profile and yet give vent to creative instincts. That way, the due rewards – promotions and productivity and perks – will be yours.

Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated. You are likely to be more planned in your actions, as you become aware of the subtleties of human relations. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Cooperative efforts revolve around making the most of all the resources belonging to two or more people. Arguments with partners over values or belongings are possible. Try to be patient and adjusting in critical times, as this will help you reach new heights in coming months.

Your attention will be more on your romance, your friendships and perhaps even professional relationships this month. Now is the time to be social. Check in with contacts, make those necessary phone calls and get a hold of those you’ve been putting off. If you want to see success in your personal life, this is what must be done now. You now enjoy the social “game” surrounding making connections with lovers, and they can be quite seductive.

Polish up on your people skills and work on redefining them. There may be potential hiccups and sharpening your people skills helps you realizing where these threats lie and in extinguishing them before they reach you and affect your life. Even if there are no dangers that concern you, you will be better to be prepared for such antics just in case. You will now seem to ignore your own sexual needs as you are focusing on those of your partner.

It will be good for you to look forward to your lover for a permanent/stable relationship. There is plenty of compassion and sharing waiting for you this month. Close ties with family, friends and even romantic relationships are all prospering. It would be wise to think of situations in your life in terms of “us” instead of “me”.

Your focus in life is shifting to the people around you and your relationships with those people. Your significant other, children or parents should be given at least the same amount of time you give your co-workers, superiors or subordinates, if not more. They are the ones who really matter in your life after all. To do the best you can for them though, you need to be the best you can be with that latter group of people.

You must have your wits about you and be alert at work during the majority of this month. If you have good people skills, use them to build relationships and if you don’t, get them. Your need to communicate with others is greater now than most times and to communicate effectively, you need to learn how to deal with others. A potential, or actual threat may exist, coming between you and your position in your business. You must be vigilant as ever during this time to overcome the negativity which may be hurtling toward you even now. In spite of some small gloomy energy that lingers, you have those people you love to fall back on when this time becomes difficult. Close ties with your loved ones will leave you feeling content to say the least, so let them ease your suffering if it does come to you.

Now is a time to focus on “us” or “we” instead of “I” or “me”. You have needs, yes, but all the people around you need something from you as well. If you do a lot of work with clients one on one, such as going to meet them at home or elsewhere, you will be especially busy during this time.

TAURUS

It might be a good time to make a thorough scrutiny of the real you, an honest assessment of your face, figure, health and assets and seek to implement a make-over where necessary. The truly intimate and personal you, needs to be examined too and where there is room for improvement, positive action should be taken. You’ll need to establish good working relationships with colleagues, subordinates and bosses as well. It’s NOT a time to challenge the system! Stress and neglect both need to be guarded against too. A time for introspective self-assessment with a degree of honesty and objectivity. That way lies contentment, success, happiness – any or all of them, and it will come from your own changed attitude.

Your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this month, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and vagueness. You are likely to throw caution to the wind, and where boundaries between fantasy and reality can be blurred, so tread carefully. Avoid secret dealings and behind the door activities, especially the ones that are not clearly legitimate and justifiable. It can be better to be motionless and still, so you can feel the wind changing, than to row in the wrong direction.

Financial conditions and related areas may see advances, with a boost in both resources and possessions. You have more oomph at your disposal to make money, but also to support your ideals. This can be a very creative time, when you make the most of what you have. You might embark upon new projects, or renew existing ones. The work you do may not be as profitable as it was earlier, or there may be unexpected expenses. Some routine expense may come to an end now; however, actions are required by you to make this happen.

A perfect moment in time to step out and share yourself with everyone around you. You’re attracting admirers, some of whom may take a romantic interest in you and in fact, you are most visible during this period of the year. Strengthen the weak spots and mend the cracks, perhaps even change a few variables to make the overall ‘you’ a better and stronger one. Don’t just live your life, do whatever that makes it genuine and whole.

Your sensual being is within you and if you look close enough you may find that you could use the element of change to your advantage and spice up your relationships with near and dear ones. Get more personal with a lover, show a close friend or relative just what you can accomplish for them, or for yourself. Get closer and strengthen bonds that are necessary within your profession as well. Your best bet would be to go with the flow of things while doing this.

A challenge or a confrontation is definitely not in your best interest right now. It will only add to unnecessary stress and neglect toward more important matters. Be honest, be objective but be adamant about reassessing your life. It will prove to be very positive for you in near future.

Your friends and family often warn you about being too critical of yourself but the stars tell a different story; now is an excellent time to make a realistic assessment of yourself. Your appearance, especially your face and figure; your health and the things you have should all be considered. Introspection is a keyword for today but don’t forget about the people outside of your own little world.

Identify specific job functions in which you could improve performance then take the positive actions needed to become a better you. By improving your own performance, you will have an indirect effect on the performance of those people with whom you share a work relationship. Colleagues, bigger and smaller fish in your business all can improve through you, as any organization or collective is really only as strong as its weakest member. Do not interpret this as a call to challenge your current system!

Just do what you must to smooth out any differences in your business relations. Be wary of stressing yourself out and don’t neglect to take personal time when you need it.

There is nothing more taxing on a friendship or partnership than one of the members being too tired to meet.

This is a time to assess yourself and you need to be honest about it; even if it would drive you crazy to admit a certain something to someone else you have to face the facts when dealing with yourself. This is the only, sure way to contentment and success. One who gets away with lying to oneself will often repeat this process, to sad results for that person. Ultimately, your attitude is what will determine your altitude in life.

VIRGO

Long-distance and foreign connections, exchange and trade will be favored. You’ll travel a fair amount and may strike up a chance acquaintance who shares your views, ideals and ideas. Also, you deal with a kind of weariness, even disillusionment, that sets in. A month of exaltation, true spirituality, intellectual and moral growth – a truly cosmic gift comes to you. The preceding month had lots of highs and lows for you to reckon with. This month reorients you to your lasting values, and greater idealism is the result, in conjunction with heightened consciousness and conscience, that come hand in hand with true and sincere spirituality and faith.

You may feel that you’re in the grip of a force beyond your control, since it is a time for great, perhaps even radical or drastic, changes in your material as well as emotional world. This month, a financial boost is likely, or you may expand money-wise all the way through your partner/associate. You are more tending to even differences in a partnership/relationship regarding the sharing of authority, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Close relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner shall demand a deeper unification.

Your ambition and/or your desire to be acknowledged for your achievement comes to the forefront. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors are favorable. Events taking place now will have a great bearing on your future and will be long reaching in their effects. It is a time when great progress can be made and personal recognition achieved.

Do not put your travels on hold any longer. Now is the time to utilize any long-distance connections you may have. It will prove positive in creating an acquaintance who will share in your ideals and views and you have an enthusiastic and exuberant appeal. Exchange of heart and thoughts is stored for you this month. Sexual exploration and freedom are important, as well as a need for sexual honesty.

If you are feeling wary and disheartened these days, do not waste time brooding about past. Redirect what you have left of your energies and focus on the unique experiences of your life and things that make you special. You’ll feel a sense of rapture; an intellectual and moral growth take over. Let it absorb into you and you will feel a renewed sense of desire for life again.

Your immediate past has had a lot of highs and lows that you have had to deal with. It is no wonder that you tend to feel the way you do. Hold tight though. Your immediate future holds a brighter light for you. As you redirect your attitudes, you will feel your values becoming stronger and your ideals more inspired. Your eyes will open wider and brighter as the bad passes by you and extinguishes itself and your new sense of attitude comes to light.

During this time, you may be surprised by having closer relations with people half the world away, closer than the relationships with the people right next to you at home or work. Long-distance and foreign connections are favored during this time and can do much to help advance you on your chosen path. A fair amount of business travel is in the cards and these trips will give you many chances to meet people who share your views and ideals.

Because you are going all over the world, a world-weariness has the potential to set in and turn you sluggish. A certain disillusionment, with your peers, superiors or someone else close to you may keep you up at night. Do not let these things distract you from what should be a month of exaltation! Grow spiritually, intellectually and morally while the time for growing is ripe. It is as if the cosmos is aiding you in some indecipherable way. Spending time with your spiritual adviser or a teacher from the past would be rewarding. The preceding month had lots of highs and lows for you to handle, but this month is going to be different. Your priorities will be set straight by coming to understand what the people around you need from you every day.

Expect some travel, expect to meet new people and expect a whole new list of demands from each of them. Be diligent in your work and have faith that you will survive any tests. Though your maker may not put more on your plate than you can handle, your employer very well might, so be ready for arduous work.
