AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) They want you, they need you, some will mesmerize you: place yourself at centre, too! Spruce up your living space, and while you are at it, spend extra to get yourself noticed. Mid- to end of the month, social, romantic, and financial matters pick up speed; don’t expect it to slow down!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Start of the month is the best time to pool together, solidify agreements and decisions, deal with legal matters or official paperwork, and search for added income sources, rentals, renters, or financial advantage. Mercury retrograde May 26–June 19 can bring added complications; consider it a working-out-the-kinks cycle.

ARIES (March 21–April 19) Forge ahead on financial, health, and work-related matters; you’ll gain solid ground at month’s start. Fortuitous stars are especially rewarding May 12, 13, 16–18; book interviews, sign a contract, seek attention, let your heart be claimed. May 21–24 brings a fleeting window—you snooze, you lose.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Past experience and the advance of time are now on your side; work to increase relationship solidarity and put personal ambitions into action.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The sun and Venus could put you in line for a promotion at month’s start. If it isn’t available right where you are, search elsewhere! Prior to retrograde, Mercury increases not only career rewards, but social pleasures, too. Choose your playing field: Mars in Leo, May 10–July 1, turns you into hot stuff.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Resistance, self-doubt, holdups, or restrictions could evaporate as Saturn completes retrograde May 2. The stars give you the “go” signal May 2–24. The last two weeks of May are pivotal; opportunity comes in surprising or unexpected packages. Mercury retrograde could multiply guesswork or loose ends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) It’s a cash-in month re: emotional, financial, and scholastic investments. Family and lovers step up their support. Though they’ll be more lucrative on the seller’s end, real estate transactions are still a win/win for all through May 25. Visitors or travel bring great delight May 16–31.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Selling, teaching, or expanding your social network, you can make wonderful inroads with an especially diverse audience throughout the month. It’s a lucrative time to patch things up with a sibling, too. May 18–19 could bring an important talk or event. Hold off, hang loose May 26–June 19.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Work runs smoothly; health also hits a good plateau, especially through mid-month. Looking for a new place to live or new stimulus to make life more interesting? You’ll find it May 18–25; creativity, insight, hidden advantage/potential ignite readily. Social Mercury retrograde plugs you back in and keeps you in the loop.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) Take control, own your life; an empowering and successful month lies ahead. Romance, financial matters, and creative endeavours can be especially rewarding. Experiment with new strategies or techniques; take a page from those who stand next to you May 19–25. May 26–June 19: don’t be a follower; double-check everything.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) March stars put the writing on the wall. You are likely to cross thresholds you did not expect to face. Even so, Mars and Pluto will help you handle transition smoothly and with grace. Feel assured; improvement is your net gain. Don’t hold yourself back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Aim higher; you can get there. March 4–9 thrusts contractual agreements, job or market research, and legal settlements into fast-forward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Re: diet, relationship matters, finances, or any other get-ahead ambition, this next go-round could be the charm. Mars re-enters Cancer March 4, offering you a second chance or fresh start. You are smarter now; leave the past where it belongs. The Full Moon March 21 delivers a cut-off point or deadline.

The Full Moon March 21 could fire up a relationship or relationship issue; you’ll be forced to stand up for yourself more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Plans and projects can get complicated when Mercury’s in retrograde, so if you are going to tackle a do-it-yourself renovation or other repair job, proceed with extra caution. Hosting an open house or selling your wares? Stay security-minded.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) March 4–8 can get it cooking—and fast. Watch for something to erupt, snap, or light a good fire. Even if it’s been building for a while, transition can feel jarring.

Whether you find yourself in hot pursuit of a fresh adventure or one simply finds you, the Solar Eclipse Feb. 6 sets dynamic wheels in motion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22)
You can be especially inconvenienced by Mercury retrograde; pay attention to early warning signals and have extra provisions, staff, or a Plan B in place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22)
Amazing things can happen; the Solar Eclipse could bring the exceptional to pass.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21)
Plans and projects can get complicated when Mercury’s in retrograde, so if you are going to tackle a do-it-yourself renovation or other repair job proceed with extra caution.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This balancing-act month can tax financial or emotional reserves. Prior to oct. 11, talk money, schedule interviews, state your intentions; after this date, keep non-committal or open-ended. A callback or second look during Mercury retrograde can be a good thing; a backtrack can be costly or tug hard on the heartstrings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Ask more questions, read the fine print, take advice to heart, reserve judgment, keep negotiating. Be on the alert for subtle (or not so subtle!) signs, competition, undermining tactics, or good intentions; you’ll see if you take the time to look. Watch for Mercury’s retrograde cycle to uncover even more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Be especially health-conscious and think in temporary measures, jobs, or fix-it programs, especially while trickster Mercury tours retrograde in Scorpio, oct. 11–23. on the plus side, great opportunity exists oct. 12–26 to achieve recognition, finality, or freedom that was not previously obtainable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Ooct. 12–17, 21, 22 could ignite a lucrative cycle; retrace your steps, rely on previous successes, show passion, creativity, initiative, and courage. Mercury retrograde always brings a time to repeat rather than start afresh. Watch for an important communiqué, re-connection, or special event, oct. 21–24; try your luck.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Patch-up jobs or temporary solutions are just that; face it, don’t fool yourself. If your bid falls through during Mercury retrograde, know there’s probably something better out there waiting for you. your social life and ability to connect the dots can flourish oct. 23 through month’s end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Planned or not, Mercury retrograde is sure to put you back in touch with folks. Watch for things you have said or done to be played back to you. Handle legal paperwork, hire agents, finalize important purchases, or close sales before oct. 11, or pause until after Nov. 2.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Make sure you can back out if you want to. A change of direction or heart is a common occurrence during Mercury retrograde. Fortunately, the stars offer ample opportunity to start over or to try again. Don’t fret over what doesn’t come to fruition; it’s a gift. oct. 22–31 presents more for consideration.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are sure to burn rubber for most of this “atyou” month; make sure you stock up on good fuel and vitamins. Past oct. 23, Mercury will temporarily back out of your sign and you’ll find the opportunity (or the need) to pull back from overextension. If it isn’t working, let it go oct. 23–27. Prioritize health and safety.
