Venus is in Sagittarius, making folks more openly affectionate and fonder of exploration. This week, she’s sextile to Neptune in Aquarius, opening humanitarian dreams and ideals. Brace yourself for longwinded idealistic rants! Or edit your own outbursts to make them more meaningful.

March 20 – April 18

Enjoy your romantic adventures and fantasies. Just don’t count on them taking root and leading to much in the real world. Still, the experience could help you become clearer about what you really want, providing a stronger basis for future romance.

April 19 – May 20

Shy and discreet as you may be, some of your naughtier secrets are likely to become very public knowledge. Shrug off any whiff of scandal with good humor and self-confidence and you’ll find there is no such thing as bad publicity.

May 21 – June 20

Let your partner or a good friend take you on an adventure, preferably one where you get to encounter some fresh artistic perspective or romantic prospect. If you prefer to find love on your own, look anywhere that is new and unusual.

June 21 – July 22

Being friendly with co-workers will prove more helpful than usual, but it could easily slide into being more than friendly. Workplace romances are likely to be trouble, especially when they are exposed. It’s especially hard to keep them secret now.

July 23 – Aug. 22

Let your partner take the lead for a change. Nobody’s questioning your stardom. In fact, allowing your co-star to innovate and shake things up will stimulate you in ways you never imagined.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Learn a little about feng shui or consult an expert on this Chinese system of aesthetic living. Or you might try some other method of improving the harmony of your home. Simply creating or redesigning a meditation space would suffice.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Explore new, exotic or unusual methods of self-expression. Try your hand at Sapphic verse. (It’s a specific metric form!) Or check out a new instrument or artistic medium. Even if the attempts fumble, they will open up new insights.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Look at ways in which you might rearrange your finances, but don’t make any changes yet. It’s time to explore those possibilities in theory only. Take time to sort out the ideas from the dreams, and then implement them later.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

There’s a strange dreaminess about you now that seems to radiate poetry and music. In poetic or musical situations, you are all the more attractive. Avoid logical arguments but keep a song on your lips.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Your intuition is suddenly excellent for uncovering financial problems, although solving them should wait until later. Artistic exercises can help you sort out both financial and spiritual priorities.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

This is an ideal time to present your political ideals in a gentler, more sympathetic voice than usual. Or you could just party like mad and have a good time! That, however, could lead to embarrassing surprises, so cultivate your gifts of persuasion instead.

Feb. 19 – March 19

Cultivate the sympathy of bosses or other authority figures, but be careful not to let out your personal secrets. Spiritual issues and religion are normally best kept out of the workplace, but now you might find some advantage in discussing those topics.
