March 21 – April 20

You could feel torn between your home life and your work life, dear Aries. It’s a stressful but exciting time. Try not to wig out and self-destruct, because in reality, you can have it all. Just pace yourself and set some real boundaries. A Leo needs more communication from you, so start talking — in bed and out.

April 21 – May 20

Venus, your ruler, is conjunct with communicative Mercury in your sign all week long. This groovy little aspect could stir up some urges to experiment sexually. A Sag is ready, willing, and able. With so many cosmic forces speaking to your libido, please don’t inhibit yourself.

May 21 – June 21

You may get wrapped up in a drama at work just before the weekend. Try to restrain yourself from starting a scene, baby. Instead, create a real drama by funneling your passion into something more artistic. A Scorpio can see your star quality from a mile away.

June 22 – July 22

Several planets are hanging out in your house of exes during late May, darling. No wonder you’re feeling like the sexiest but sickest person on the block. You want them all back, don’t you? Just be careful whom you dish with. News travels fast now that Mercury is no longer retrograde.

July 23 – Aug.22

Mars moves next to Neptune in your house of love, so make an effort to get out more. Weekend parties await, and it seems like all you can do is charm, charm, charm! If you’ve been obsessing about a work screwup from weeks ago (while Mercury was retrograde), lighten up. Let an Aries be dazzled by you.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Work and money issues could take top priority over the next week or so. Try to sock some dough away for a rainy day (or a day when you need to take off and explore a new continent). And start spending some of your time with the friends you adore most. A new Gemini acquaintance is definitely putting out a “do me” vibe.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

You may have to walk away from a person or situation that is too strong a reminder of past misery. It’s okay, doll. You don’t have to resolve all mysteries this week. A Virgo can bring the perfect balance of order and chaos back into your world.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

The planets are conspiring to give you a massive wake-up call. Your unconscious is on fire and full of secret signals. Listen to your psyche, not your own stupid theories about the ideal romance or perfect job. Stop fighting with other people, and start battling with yourself. A Virgo has a sexual message for you.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

You may feel a little out of control as the new moon lands in your opposite sign of Gemini on May 31. But honey, you’re out of control in a good way. The world is offering you gifts. Are you strong enough to accept them graciously? An Aquarius is a gift horse (or should I say whore?) who wants to be looked in the mouth. Don’tsay no!

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

The moon moves into your house of romance on June 1, so take a chance in your love life. Use your subtle and flirtatious conversation to bed down a protesting but willing Aries. Make a vow to reacquaint yourself with your seductive side. Put the past behind you and start anew, you old curmudgeon.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Many exciting things are in store in the days ahead, sweetie. The new moon on May 31 falls in your house of creativity and love affairs. Admit that you want to have a sweet little orgy with your dearest fellow performers and go for it! Spin the bottle and let the chips fall where they may.

Feb. 19 – March 20

You could feel a little more randy than usual during the new moon on May 31. Instead of playing it cool, you could show just how hot you really are with a Taurus. A major change is coming your way, and you can feel it. Move toward it, and out of your rut. A change in your family life is imminent.
