Current aspects call for a slow, thoughtful approach to every matter you encounter, and urge you to not speculate or gamble financially.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — The power of belief could lead you to accept something false as true, and thus give it power over you. You could also miss the essential truth of something, overlook it, or decide that it does not align with your pre-existing beliefs and expectations — and end up missing the benefits of essential information that is right in front of you. Current aspects call for a slow, thoughtful approach to every matter you encounter, and urge you to not speculate or gamble financially. However, you may see an opportunity over the next few weeks that you know you want to develop. Take your time and do your proper diligence. This could take several months, though your care and thoroughness will pay off. The place to take risks is creatively.

Take what time and space you need, though remember that most problems we currently face as individuals and as communities are social.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Venus approaching retrograde in Leo is facilitating feathering your own nest, and keeping your interests focused inwardly and close to home. Many people are adopting this approach to life, exhausted by the events of the past few years. Take what time and space you need, though remember that most problems we currently face as individuals and as communities are social. Relating to yourself in a deep and meaningful way is the first step toward the solution of our collective problems. Remember that you are taking some time to attend to your inner being so that you may be more effective in the leadership roles for which you’re being groomed. We must guide the Hunger Games mentality of our era to a better place, and that will require strength, integrity and expressed goodwill — not just the idea.

If you have something to say, get ready to say it.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — It’s no secret that many Geminis are excellent with words. This is partly because your sign is ruled by Mercury, and mostly due to where you have Leo placed in your chart — the sign of gold on your house of communications. Now this house is filling up; Mercury has arrived, Venus is about to station retrograde, and the Sun is on its way. If you have something to say, get ready to say it. Focus your thoughts, and make a careful review of what journalists call the clippings files. What you said in the past matters, especially if you want to go beyond it. Venus retrograde is calling for an understanding of the past, and Mercury is calling for a fresh approach. The two are related. You’ve forgotten some brilliant ideas in your bottom drawer.

When speaking, avoid doing so off the cuff. Usually that works for you, though…

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Stay on message. Develop talking points and stick to them. This is not always a suitable approach; it’s an urgently necessary one now. Your ideas have added impact now, and you don’t want to waste energy or opportunities, or risk mishaps. Therefore, sleep on things before you send them out (and cannot call them back). Review your written presentations for factual accuracy and tone. When speaking, avoid doing so off the cuff. Usually that works for you, though with Mars in Virgo, you need to aim with precision. That means doing practice runs that include anyone you’re working with. Find the pitfalls in your own ideas, spot potential objections and learn how to answer them. Once you’ve done all that, there will be some room to go with the flow.

Measure your words carefully, and spend your money intentionally.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — There is no room for exaggeration; stick to understatement. Measure your words carefully, and spend your money intentionally. Listen carefully for when others stretch or enlarge the truth to the point where it’s meaningless. With the Sun passing through the most sensitive area of your chart for another week, it’s essential that you be mindful of potential blind spots, missing information and counting yourself out right in the moment when you can be counting yourself in. Venus is moving slowly through your sign, about to turn retrograde. This is calling for careful review of the past 18 months, especially related to your professional goals and your reputation. It’s easy for you to coast along on your charisma and your image. What you want is to be counted on as solid of character, reliable and easy to work with.

Some circumstance has changed in your life, granting you access to both power and force.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — You must aim your vital force with precision, and take all of your actions based on a strategy. This might not be suitable for therapy, but it is appropriate for martial arts. Mars is now in your sign, joined by the warrior goddess Pallas Athene. Some circumstance has changed in your life, granting you access to both power and force. You must regulate the expression of these things, so that you may get their full benefits — and so that you don’t harm people around you. I cannot emphasize enough the care you must take when directing your energy. It will take very little emphasis to get the result you want, as long as you know what it is, and have an idea how you’re going to get there. Random experiments must be set aside for a while.


The word friend is way too overused. It should be reserved as an honor with genuine meaning and relevance.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — You are born under one of the most social signs of the lot. However, the next few months will present many opportunities to discover who your friends are and who they are not. Expect a weeding out process as your ruling planet Venus stations retrograde in Leo. Your tastes are changing and your standards are going up. The word friend is way too overused. It should be reserved as an honor with genuine meaning and relevance. Remember, all those people are not changing; you are maturing and taking a retrospective view of your life. This is a good time to reflect, and there is certainly plenty to consider. Long lost friends may find their way back to you, and it’s also a fine time to reach out in the direction of anyone you remember fondly.


It’s essential that you take the time to listen and ask questions, and that you be open enough to facilitate an actual conversation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Yours is one of the most instinctual signs, in that you often feel comfortable acting based on emotional or gut motives. However, careful and even methodical thought is called for at this time. It’s essential to your mental wellbeing that you take a broad and encompassing view of people and life situations. Do not hold them to your concept of what is right; they may have different values. Yet if you take the time to get to know people, which means to understand them, you may decide that you are standing on similar foundations. It’s essential that you take the time to listen and ask questions, and that you be open enough to facilitate an actual conversation. If you try to guess where someone is coming from, you’re likely to get it wrong.


Although you may not recognize it now, the most important variable is finding the right people to work with.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — If you pace yourself, you will discover that this is one of the most productive and creative times of your life. Pacing means settling in for the long haul, finding your gait, like a long-distance runner. The events of your life are interesting now, though they are leading to a phase of breakthroughs in early 2024. Although you may not recognize it now, the most important variable is finding the right people to work with. Be patient along this journey. Experiment with people in different roles and find out something about their strengths, and most significantly, their work ethic. You have serious goals, and some of them require collaboration. Devotion and sincerity are essential factors. It’s not just about money, pizzazz or seeming talent. Only decent, caring people are right for you and what you are doing.


Your intuition will guide you, especially if you give yourself time for it to come up with solutions and ideas that you might never have thought of logically.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) – If someone challenges you in some way — intellectually or legalistically — you have what it takes to handle it. And the way to win is first to slow down your responses. Put your energy into evaluating the strategy of any adversaries, and spotting the errors they are making. You will be able to discern the intended plan from what’s happening. You don’t need to set traps — they will trap themselves. With Saturn retrograde in Pisces, you can say very little, while making every word count. Your intuition will guide you, especially if you give yourself time for it to come up with solutions and ideas that you might never have thought of logically. But you will know they’re valid because they make sense. In a best case scenario, you can convert adversaries into allies, recognizing what you have in common.


You don’t need to waste a shred of energy trying to control someone. They live in their own reality…

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Give relationship partners plenty of room to be themselves, and do what they feel they must. You don’t need to waste a shred of energy trying to control someone. They live in their own reality, and this is especially true now as others close to you may be working through situations surfacing from their past (remember this over the next two months). You also may be experiencing long-forgotten people mysteriously showing up. Whether you like them, adore them or would rather not think about them, make sure you get the message of their appearance in your life at this time. The karmic wheel is turning, and human interchanges are often complex and stretch out over long spans of years. Treat every person and every situation with respect, even if you’re not sure they deserve yours.

The touchy-feely approach, or waiting to see what happens, are not adequate for your current situation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)  — There is no substitute for preparation, especially when you know you may be challenged. Therefore, adopt the strategy of chess: have a plan for every potential move that an adversary may make. Understand their mental posture and analyze the strategy of anyone you’re dealing with. The touchy-feely approach, or waiting to see what happens, are not adequate for your current situation. If you are prepared, you will do well; if you are not, you could waste quite a bit of time on irrelevant stress and conflict. In this environment, listening carefully and speaking clearly are important, and in this world, nothing is “said” until it’s documented in writing. If you know your goals, you can avoid investing energy in anything that does not support them.
