Taurus • April 19 – May 20
Anyone who knows you well has seen you at two extremes: serene as a sunny flowerful day in spring and snorting and stamping in stubborn resistance to the moment. At this moment, particularly from the 6th through the 9th you are exhibiting something unusual. You seem lost in space — disoriented. Clarity tries to break through from the 15th through 18th when friends encourage you to look on the bright side! Go with them. It isn’t that they have answers to your dilemma but connection is the balm for disorientation. Tension around finances is strong on the 22nd. By the 25th the issue resolves itself so don’t get your knickers in a twist! Be glad to have been born in spring!

Aries • March 20 – April 19
Consider all confrontations and challenges as gifts aimed at showing you who you are — the good, the bad and the ugly. On the 8th, eloquence saves the day and forges the possibility of a new way of relating to friend and foe alike. Be patient because it might take till the 13th before you see your ideal made real. From the 15th through the 24th settle down and pay attention to finances. On the 29th a favourite ideal is challenged by Reality. This is important because ideals that live only in the mind aren’t worth much.

Pisces • February 18 – March 20
Do you think we come to this planet for the good times or the hard ones? Judging from the condition of the planet at large you might assume (if you were an alien) that in a Universal Confederation, Earth would have as its greatest resource, suffering. It would (undoubtedly) export it around the Universe along with manuals for understanding suffering. As you contemplate suffering on planet Earth for the first 10 days of March make a stand for your ideals, work hard to express yourself creatively and look for a shimmering silver lining around the 4th. By the 14th you are on firm ground only to be challenged by financial realities after the 19th. Stay calm, do what has to get done, this too shall pass.

Aquarius • Jan.20 – Feb 19
When a year begins, as this one has, with a global awareness of just how fragile we are it’s time for Aquarians to validate their inherent humanitarian nature. Giving money is what most of us do but you want to give yourself — not like a martyr but like a resource. After the 8th focus on where this would mean the greatest benefit for yourself and others. Put thought into action between the 14th and the 17th. Revelation is at hand around the 21st. What do you see? Hear? Know? A prompting from within could made a difference. On the 23rd spend some time, money, energy, love on your health. Good investment!

Capricorn • Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Believe it and relax into the darkening season. The most intense waning of the light around the 11th suggests that love; real, true, passionate, deep and eternal is the well from which you should drink. Between the 13th and the 20th this is validated by experience. After the solstice on the 21st light begins to rise and you might feel a bit nostalgic for the cave. The New Year begins to take solid shape after January 10th. Rub your hands together and launch yourself into it with renewed vigour. Your vitality might still need a bit of support — good food, massage, exercise and reflection keep you on track. Be especially willing to look within on the 28th. You will be amazed at how your personal journey reflects the universal.

SCORPIO • Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
It’s interesting that our neighbours to the south have their major day of reckoning when the sun is in Scorpio. Shows you the true nature of the fight. Dreams of justice flit in and out on the 4th. Justice for whom? In the broad spiritual sense life is not fair. Yet as humans, we must be vigilant and fight for “liberty and justice for all.” When Scorpios make the world a better place they do it from the bottom up. Challenge core beliefs on the 7th. Consider what brought your ancestors to this land in the first place on the 8th. After the 12th your powerful instinct for transformation gets underway. Be revolutionary from the 15th through the 19th. After the 22nd through the 25th slip into something more comfortable. Turn your thoughts toward love and balance the outward struggle with some personal pleasure.

LIBRA • Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
The sky is filled with planets in Libra. The new moon on the 13th brings it all to a head suggesting it’s time to begin a New Life. You don’t have to move to Gebru or quit your job, although you could if you want. Better to balance your ambition with your competitive nature. Some of the things you want you need to fight for, some are best achieved through diplomacy. Look your true nature in the eye and pay attention to how people react to you. Proceed accordingly. This process culminates on the 20th and after the 24th you are impressed by all manner of possibility. Count your blessings or your money on the 27th.

VIRGO • Aug. 23 – Sept. 21
A feeling of relief emerges around Labour Day but you still need to challenge your motives with the power of truth until the 10th. If there was a Bitch Goddess she would be a Virgo. We would venerate her for her sharp perception and her unwillingness to suffer fools gladly. Time to own your inner bitch! After the 14th this makes sense because you feel strong and your direction is true. Until the 21st go full tilt at whatever windmill means the most to you. By the 24th there is a huge change in energy and you are swept into the harvest feeling. You may see the value of things you have worked so hard to build and perfect in the real world. Stand up for your values on the 29th.

CANCER • June 21 – July 22
Life is full in early July. Grace has blessed you with so much. From the 13th—16th practise the art of Giveaway. After the 22nd your intentions turn more toward personal assets. How much you really do need? On the 25th remind yourself of what issues were significant for you in May/June. How have they resolved? August brings Beauty on the 7th. Beauty is Grace’s best friend. Drink it in, create it for others. Energy shifts dramatically around the 10th and misunderstandings are easy if you don’t reflect on what you really mean; especially on the 18th. End the month on the serious theme of commitment. What do you stand for in this world?

GEMINI May 21 – June 20
Stand back and see yourself through the eyes of others on the 3rd. No defences. We see ourselves best through relationships. If you don’t like what you see it’s time for a change. If you like what you see expand your creative options. Passion is strong on the 11th and by the 18th your brilliant obsession(s) are a sight for all to see! As summer falls upon the land make sure you have some getaways planned. You need freedom — you are a butterfly and all the beautiful flowers are so happy to see you! Pollinate the world with ideas, sexuality, generosity. Take your pick. After the 29th love releases a dart in your direction — but only if you want it.
