March 21 – April 20

The new moon on June 29 falls in your house of home and family. Make family a top priority. Start by asking yourself who your real family is. Include those who love you most, and err on the side of forgiving those who have wronged you. It’s a deeply emotional time for you, Aries. Let go and live with (okay, and get laid by) a Leo.

April 21 – May 20

Your ruler Venus transits your house of finances this week, which means that your artistic talents could land you some money in the bank. Use your flair with texture and color in new ways. You could become a brand name. Another Taurus complements you beautifully.

May 21 – June 21

It’s important for you to see God (or some big spiritual diva) in the little things this week. Love isn’t about huge displays of grandiosity. It’s about being thoughtful and giving a dear one (like another Gemini) all the love you can. Be a noble beast. And get back in touch with your body. You’ve been living in your head for too long.

June 22 – July 22

Your life is full of major questions and forks in the road now. But they are good turning points. It’s a time for important decisions. Make sure you are honest with yourself, and only consult those you trust implicitly for advice. A Sag can help your career but may not exactly nurture you emotionally. Your love life is hitting its peak. But you need to put pride aside and expose your true feelings to your partner. Wear orange to grab their attention!

July 23 – Aug.22

This is a grand time for you to do what you need to do in every way — spiritually, emotionally, physically — to get rid of the bad vibes from an ex-lover who still haunts you. Do a ritual and get this creature out of your hair and out of your head. You have someone better to concentrate on. An Aries wants to be your new best friend (with privileges?).

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

The Sun, Saturn, and your planetary ruler Mercury are all transiting your house of large groups and community. It’s time to think big — which is not your specialty! Stop picking and carping about the little details: your hair, your bank account, your French cooking lessons. Instead, try and come up with a grand plan for life! A Taurus can help whip you into reality.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

If you’re making your home into the spiritual castle it should be, all will be well this week and in the months ahead. If you’re ignoring the importance of a stable place to live, then you may be feeling oppressed right now. Put some energy into your house or apartment. It’s more than just four walls.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Mars and Uranus are spreading intensity and excitement in your home sector. Go with your gut and don’t overthink issues related to where you live and whom you love. Your plotting ways have grown tired! Be true to your heart and stop being so controlling. A Virgo will help you release your real desires.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

This is a good time for you to overhaul one small area of your life. Clean out your office or change your gym, or do one significant thing to show that you want to bring new, productive energy into your life. A Gemini will inspire you to make the first move.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Business partnerships entered into now will have a major influence on your life in the months to come. Make sure you have all the facts before signing contracts, then sign away. Don’t be an idiot and do everything on impulse. Use your head, babe! Collaboration is richly favored now.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Permanency holds more appeal than trickery this week, so be straightforward in love. A Virgo could offer you just what you need. But is it what you want? This week is all about compromising on the little things and letting go of some of your “my way or the highway” attitudes.

Feb. 19 – March 20

You can’t help but laugh when bigwigs finally start to tell you, “You have talent!” and “I want to make you a whore” ... uh, I mean “a star”! Don’t sell yourself to the highest bidder, darling. Hold out for what you believe in and for the best overall deal. The career decisions you make now are important, so think about them. Playing hard to get works in your favor in business and in love.
