Venus in Leo quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn adds awkwardness in trying to manage relationships. A simple seduction, or trying to work out any little problem with your partner, can seem a big deal. Mars is in Virgo offering resolution – with hard work and self-criticism, yes, but keep it simple!

March 20 – April 19

Make a plan as you approach any task, but remember that in reality, plans need flexibility and adjustment. Expect challenges from above. A little creative improvisation is good, but think elegant and clean, not frilly.

April 20 – May 20

As much as you love your home you need a drastic change. Resist at least briefly the urge to toss everything, but imagine you did and the changes you’d make. That’s a start. Somewhere between there and reality is your solution.

May 21 – June 20

Flirting comes easily, but what does it lead to? It’s easy to mix signals and for you or your companion to have heavy, but unfounded expectations. Say what you mean and mean what you say. You can do that pleasantly too!

June 21 – July 22

Money problems with your partner may have no clear resolution. A close friend or sibling can help get you both on the same page. Single? Being too nice can keep you that way. A little bitchiness can help you connect.

July 23 – August 22

Much as you want to live up to a mythical standard, efforts to do so can get expensive, but also cause stress, constipation, hemorrhoids … ick! Tighten your wallet, not your ass; just relax and be yourself.

August 23 – September 22

Nobody likes hearing about their inner beauty. We all want the outer kind. One doesn’t exclude the other. That deeper, more sensitive charm works for you now, but work that sexy-librarian _thang_ and you’ll be irresistible inside and out.

September 23 – October 22

You can easily dazzle all your friends, but you want a deeper, darker connection. Are they mutually exclusive? Take a little time out to figure how you might use that outer brilliance to find a more heartfelt connection.

October 23 – November 21

People are noticing your work, but maybe only seeing the surface. You’d rather convey something deeper. Friends and colleagues may be better than you in getting that across. Don’t be shy! Ask for help.

November 22 – December 20

You’re super charged to get ahead in your work, even with some very alluring, but pesky distractions. Those could provide inspiration to better work. Talk it over with your boss or another expert.

December 21 – January 19

You’re craving an exotic adventure and sure to get one, although it will probably be quite different than you expected and more than you bargained for. Be shrewd and attentive to novel details. You can handle it.

January 20 – February 18

Your baby wants to play. You’re distracted by the quest for deeper, more internal truths. Sharing that with your partner can offer you both deeper chances for insight and to excite. It could even make important changes in your relationship.

February 19 – March 19

The daily routines of a relationship seem to clash with profound dreams and desires of where you want to go in life. Realistic goals get constant adjustment in life. It might mean giving up daydreams to build a future together.
