Venus in Cancer trine to Jupiter in Scorpio opens our affections, making us a bit more vulnerable. But then she moves into aspect with Saturn and Uranus, providing rude reminders of necessary boundaries and struggles between autonomy and relationship.

March 20 – April 18

Is it true love or raging hormones? Enjoy it while it lasts, because it’s probably hormones. Either way, sweet opportunities will lead to some hard realities. That might be a double entendre to double your fun – or not. Trust your hunches.

April 19 – May 20

Sweet talking will get you anywhere you want to go. You’re also susceptible to flattery, so keep your guard up. You can win at any negotiation, whether in business, politics or love. (Politics may take a bit more planning and foresight, though!)

May 21 – June 20

Go ahead and ask for a raise. You’ll probably get some criticism of your goals, but a good general assessment of your work. Take the criticism seriously. It will help you set patterns now that will serve you well in the long run.

June 21 – July 22

Money’s a bit tight these days, but you’re resourceful and creative. Your imagination already amazes people. Now you can show how it has practical applications. Your talents can get you ahead, so don’t be overly modest!

July 23 – Aug. 22

Take time out to fix things up at home. Redecorating may reveal that your “queer eye” is myopic, but the sci-fi bordello look works for you. Or save yourself the trouble and just invite some friends over to watch Barbarella.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Open up to social opportunities with new friends. That could bring some fresh air into long-standing relationships that feel a bit stale. Some tough issues in that area need work, but the new contacts and insights will help.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Your reputation and visibility are both strong right now. If you’re after any kind of raise, promotion or better job, this is the time to go for it. Friends will prove helpful, but be ready to return favors very quickly!

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

You’re craving novelty and adventure – anything from a glacier hike to a séance could satisfy that urge. New recipes may even do the trick. However simple it may be, a new perspective will prove helpful to your career.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

People love to expose a secret. That yours will be aired is all the more reason for you to take a shot at discretion; your efforts will be appreciated. Keep your famous sense of humor. You’ll need it!

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Let your partner take the lead in social and political activities. If you’re single, politics could change that. Get out and schmooze, at least. Challenge your own sexual boundaries, but always remember: safety first!

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Work should go swimmingly, despite arguments about funds and resources. Don’t let the disagreements get you down, and keep an open mind. Some adaptability on your part will make winners of all, especially yourself.

Feb. 19 – March 19

You can win at anything right now, although it may require a little work. This is the time to take big risks and dare great adventures, especially if they involve creative effort. Don’t be shy about getting your work into public view.
