Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

Sudden financial developments could lead to a break from the past. Experiences are extreme and range from intensity to luck, sending you searching for understanding on repressed emotional issues. Friendships and romantic liaisons are tested. Perhaps you’re having double vision, unwilling to change. Someone at home lends support and a sensitive subject is discussed. Open up to changes that are occurring. Be happy that someone you care for is having a lucky streak.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

A relationship based on shared values — increase the love and good-will factor. You’ll want to break free of ruts and old ties. You’re craving liberation and excitement. It could bring a professional tornado that transports you to a new horizon. If the changes are outside your control, avoid an implosion or threatening interactions by giving in where you can. Keep secrets private. The relationship planets give out mixed messages. Avoid controversy and fiery temperaments.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)

With the goddess of love and pleasure trine, extravagant Jupiter and exciting Uranus, and as Mars trines sensual intense Pluto, you couldn’t ask for a bigger “wow” factor! You’ll want to take this radiant inner joy into memory-rich seclusion, but tough decisions start an urge for freedom. Stress between past and future, responsible and rebellious. Partnership affairs bring delight, so get out there and have fun, the way you like best. Be ready to accept a compromise with a mate. Focus on increasing your income.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)

You’ll feel motivated, overloaded, anxious, rebellious, and exhausted all at once, in a pinball frenzy. Power, control and authority are thick, but sticking to your guns to have them amidst pressurized changes wastes energy, a battle that turns emotional. These are ambitious lessons on self-expression: when to take a stand, when to surrender, when to put your heart into things. Poor judgment can lead to the wrong choices. Pursue goals with wisdom.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)

The pressure begins at the 19th, with the tough Sun-Saturn square as the sun and Mercury enter Cancer. This is usually a shining time for your reputation, but this tangle of aspects causes whiplash and backlash to your professional standing, self-esteem, emotional foundation and family security, amplified by the darkly ambitious judgmental full moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn (26th) and discouragement of Saturn-Neptune that depletes your energy and vision. If you’re forced to make a tough decision take time to rebalance and reboot before moving on.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)

You could feel pulled in different directions by the people in your life. You can’t please everyone so aim to just please yourself.  Questions about future security may come up. There may be a clash of personalities. Don’t be stubborn, unyielding or indifferent. You can add a personal touch to whatever you undertake, but avoid being too self-centered in your approach. Don’t be quite so self-sufficient. It’s best to give others a chance to cooperate. Children may be a concern.

Sagittarius (Nov. 21 - Dec. 21)

An unexpected decision could take your life in an unforeseen direction; or, you will respond unpredictably to sudden events. It’s best to keep a stiff upper lip where the work-world is concerned. Support and teamwork may be lacking, so you’ll just have to go it alone. You and a partner may be at odds. Your social life is full of surprises. The call to adventure is hard to resist, especially what’s all about welcoming new people and experiences. Get a line on with what others are thinking.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20)

There will be a turning point as you leave behind false hopes and unrealistic ideals and allow it to bring the sensitive conversation that restores unity. The prospect of a trip or adventure is appealing, causing some to decide that work or a project can wait. At any rate a change of scenery or venue will do you a world of good. Talking about your aspirations can open doors of opportunity. The people in your life don’t seem to be receptive to what you’ve got planned. Don’t take it personally.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)

Solitude and old responsibilities — efforts at self-improvement, daily routine, health regiments, sudden breaks and power struggles. As you grapple privately with doubt, stressful coworkers, behind the scene burnout, unhealthy habits, or failed goals, you might put on a show of bravado rather than reveal vulnerabilities. Resolving these struggles and calming strong opponents take self-examination and the elimination of self-defeating habits. You’re determined to triumph over resistance.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20)

Aggressive for achievement, you struggle between love and friendship, personal needs, social obligations, and money upsets. If your dreamy optimism revives hopes, it’s useful under planetary influences as relationship problems deflate dreams. Try a new approach. The same old routine won’t work. You may be dealing with a sense of personal limitation or a problem. Devote time to clearing up old business. Create order out of chaos.

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

After a tough decision makes you defensively introspective from the Sun-Saturn square, the following Sun-Uranus square offers instant, albeit nerve-wracking or destabilizing, propulsion past obstacles. Then professional vs. domestic power struggles are stressed by the full moon eclipse in ambitious Capricorn. This could change your life or career as Saturn-Neptune dim your vision and energy. You may feel like your survival is on the line; still consideration will produce better results.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21)

Tough decisions push you out of your comfort zone. You want to maintain the status quo, but there’s pressure to expand and change. Settled plans detonate into unexpected new ideas to absorb. If you feel pushed to the edge and there’s a serious decision to make, retreat from the chaos and let your feelings guide you. A suspicion-driven Pluto mind-set may force extremes; make a total commitment or cut ties, and the full moon will press you to change beliefs and limit expectations. Or you decide to pose a question with long-term ramifications.
