March 21 – April 20

Uranus will be traveling with Neptune through your house of friends during most of December, which means you need to shake up some of your platonic relationships. Make ‘em shine again, darling. Instead of complaining that no one calls you anymore, why don’t you pick up the phone? A Pisces needs you!

April 21 – May 20

It’s hard for you to figure out where a relationship with an Aries is meant to go. Instead of trying so hard to control it, put some of that fierce energy of yours into letting go of the reins. Let a lover come to you with an offer you can’t refuse. When you stop trying so hard, you start getting what you want.

May 21 – June 21

Uranus moves forward in your house of teaching and learning, so use that clever mind of yours to improve humanity, not just your bank account. A little altruism by day leads to a little decadence by night with a do-gooder Pisces who sure knows how to do you good.

June 22 – July 22

Mercury hooks up with Venus in your house of love and makes it impossible for you to hide your feelings for an Aries. Good! Your little acts of self-protection have turned into little acts of deception lately. Better to reveal your heart and risk getting it broken than to keep a relationship at the same tedious, superficial level. Stop treading water, darling water sign.

July 23 – Aug.22

This is the right time for you to get more involved in the arts, Leo — not just by supporting other people’s creative talents, but by exhibiting your own to the world. When did you get so humble? It doesn’t suit you. A Cancer wants to run your P.R. campaign.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Jupiter is still on your side, darling, and so is a Capricorn. Your goal this month should be to figure out who is helping you reach your goals and who is standing in the way of them — and not just your material goals. Stop wasting time on people who only want to waste your time!

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Uranus and Neptune are stirring up the passionate part of your nature, Libra. It’s time to be laid back no more — especially if you want to get laid by a sexy and spontaneous Gemini. Get off your couch and get back into the social swing. You have grown bored with yourself. Put the romance back in your life.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

This is a lighthearted time for you, Scorpio, so enjoy it, don’t destroy it. You don’t have to get involved in all the social dramas going on around you. Laugh at the silliness of your hysterical friends, and indulge in fun and mischief with a Gemini.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

It’s easy to blow up at the people around you during this intense Plutonian cycle, Sag. But why not look in the mirror and ask how you can improve yourself? And I don’t mean cosmetically! (You know you’re sexy just as you are, darling.) A Cancer won’t settle for you being on autopilot. Why should you?

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

You are so close to getting what you want from your relationship and you can’t even see it! Reprioritize, Capricorn. You have put too much emphasis on material things and on work, work, and more work. Spend some meaningful time with the people who matter most to you. A Sagittarius needs you.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

This is a hot time for your pet projects, my pet. Do some self-promotion to get your ideas out there. Once again, you have tapped into the collective unconscious. Pursue your dream with passion. A Sagittarius will help you make it come true.

Feb. 19 – March 20

Your career clicks into overdrive in December, dear Pisces. Some of your social activities will have to move to the back burner. You have deadlines to meet. A Libra will work with your schedule, not against it. For once, ask people to accommodate you instead of the other way around.
