With the Sun in Taurus, Venus in Gemini and Eris in Aries all in harmony one can hardly resist the urge to flirt and banter, even a bit competitively. Do keep the quips friendly!

March 20 – April 19

Try to keep those playful impulses simply playful. You can get caught up way too easily in one-upmanship. If you really know who you are and what you’re about, you have nothing to prove.

April 20 – May 20

What you own is not who you are. Keep repeating that. You’re in no immediate danger, but as a spiritual exercise imagine losing all your belongings, having only your own self and the people you love. Scary? It could be liberating!

May 21 – June 20

Venus is augmenting your own natural beauty. That alone won’t help you find love. Throw yourself into community service or political activity. Invest your time and energy in a better global future and your personal future should brighten up too.

June 21 – July 22

Meditative inspiration, support from friends and professional advancement are as necessary as food, water and air. Each of the three is necessary to support the other two. If you can balance them all, you’re sure to thrive and succeed.

July 23 – August 22

Strut your stuff. Don’t hold back. Be gracious in welcoming all challenges and arguments as they will give you an opportunity to show your prowess. But go easy! Kindness to your opponents will pay off big for you.

August 23 – September 22

Charming your way to the top will get you noticed – and annoy the competition. Stay nice and principled in dealing with critics and backbiters. Don’t sink to their level; kill them with kindness.

September 23 – October 22

Looking for love? You’ll find it more easily far from your usual hunting grounds. Keep an eye out for someone you can play and compete with. Got love? Spice it up with some competitive sport. Wrestle for top – or bottom.

October 23 – November 21

Your erotic charisma is cranked way up. Enjoy it the easy way (the gym, jogging, any exercise or sports make you irresistible) or sublimate that energy to promote your work, and to get colleagues to cooperate more effectively.

November 22 – December 20

Your competitively playful spirit can help boost morale at work. If you and your co-workers have no rivals to conquer, strive for a team/personal best. Pride in your work and going for that personal best will help you find love or keep it.

December 21 – January 19

You can shine in games or sports, especially where you can show off your running or your vocabulary. Creative handicrafts, particularly that come out of your ethnic background, can show you to be handier than some people – including yourself – may think.

January 20 – February 18

Try your hand at any sort of domestic creativity. Cook, decorate, upholster the children, whatever strikes your fancy. Add your own touch to old family recipes and styles. Can you do better than Mom? Better than your sister at least? Prove it!

February 19 – March 19

Swap old family stories , either with your family to brush up your genealogy or with friends just for the fun of it. No family tales you care to share? How about recipes? Invite a few pals to share old favorite dishes.
