March 21 – April 20

The old drama is back in your life, babe, and you know how to use it. Jupiter is bringing you new allies left and right. Don’t get too attached, but enjoy them while they’re here for the next few weeks. You need some fresh faces in your world, since the old ones are getting stale. Make sure a Pisces remains close to you at all times.

April 21 – May 20

Instead of playing follow the leader, be the leader. Your time is here and now. The full moon in your career house on August 11 could be the catalyst that forces you to make some key decisions. If someone is pushing your hand and inciting a power struggle, you shall overcome! Power is your middle name right now, and an Aquarius knows it.

May 21 – June 21

Mars is currently transiting the top of your chart, honey, so consider applying for grants, loans, and so on. People want to invest in you. Romantically, this is a potent time. Your psychic abilities are strong, and you may actually will an ex-lover back into your life. Be careful what you wish for! Concentrate on a Leo who carries no baggage (or maybe just a little carry-on).

June 22 – July 22

During this full moon week you should experience

a renewed sense of empowerment. Finally, you can call the shots and get things done your way. Just don’t overpower other people as you rise to the top. Your personality is super strong now, and you could affect people deeply without even realizing it. A Gemini is particularly swept away by your charisma.

July 23 – Aug.22

Assert your over-the-top, bigger-than-life personality, darling! Your charisma returns with a bang during the week of the full moon (on August 11) in your house of love. After months of stress you are back and better than ever. The pressure in your love life is off. You don’t have to make any big decisions, but you do have to be honest with everyone close to you, especially yourself. A Virgo has big, juicy expectations of you.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Saturn in your friendship house makes you the heavy where your little buddies are concerned. Chill, doll, and do what you know is right. If a Libra is having trouble understanding your boundaries, perhaps you need to explain yourself in words, not just with your body, baby.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

It’s time to tell someone close to you how worried you are. If you’ve been swallowing your pain and fears for months, now’s the time to let it all hang out. A Capricorn won’t judge you, so stop judging yourself. It’s okay to walk away from a relationship that is just too painful to deal with.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

A little more time spent on the home front, surrounded by your most darling friends, is just what the doctor ordered. Don’t screw up the dosage. You really do need to put work aside a little and enjoy the social part of life.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

This is a good time for you to put it all on the line for a new squeeze, Sag. A Scorpio is ready to woo you the way you need to be wooed. If the rest of your life has you feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, call on your friends for support and prescription meds.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Let the games begin, Capricorn. Suddenly everybody wants to do lunch with you (and a Cancer may want to do you for dessert). It’s a fab time to brainstorm with colleagues or business associates about your plans for the future. Your skills and savvy are in demand.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Mercury, your ruler, is currently transiting your house of permanent partnerships, so make an effort to get to know the people you’re doing business with. This is also the right time to pull away from partners who are untrustworthy or out of their minds half the time. In love, keep your standards high.

Feb. 19 – March 20

This is a trippy time for you, Pisces. You may have to choose between complicated, deceptive situations and easy, dreamy good times. Go with the latter and use a Taurus as your guide. Why torture yourself over “ruining” your love relationship? Please, honey — it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
