ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

Steam is building up under the surface and the top is gonna blow eventually. This impacts your relationships and friends the most. This is a good month to sit it out and redecorate your house. Things will be hunky dory soon, by the end of the month in fact. A secret liaison or a liaison with secrets percolates to the surface on the first of the month. The eclipse on the 6th is very positive and energetic, especially where friends are concerned. A party or benefit could be amazing and yield some great introductions. Good news follows on the 8th. By mid-month, however, you could realize you are in over your head. A drama queen seems to captivate your attention. Can you handle a bigger personality than your own? The biggest can of worms to untangle will get opened on the 17th. A logical approach will assure the best outcome. Choose the right bait on the 20th or 22nd to snag a sweetie for an unexpected interlude. The 26th is doggone ugly. Take cover!

TAURUS

(April 20 - May 20)

I'm nominating Frank Gehry as the symbolic architect of next months calamity. Like a Gehry, the results will be convoluted, kinda chaotic, but bright and shiny all over and in their own way, lovely! How can such contradictions come together so seamlessly? Turbulent ups and downs, shot and chaser, that's how. The bright and shiny is on the 6th, when a career prospect lands square in your lap and sends you shooting into the stars. The message you get on your bank statement on the 10th could bring you crashing quickly back to earth, but seems to reconcile by the 13th. A mysterious source comes through for you on the 17th, but that message, too, is cloaked in some weirdness. A wonderful communiqué from a friend or neighbor brightens your spirits on the 22nd, and you'll feel strong and vigorous, especially if you stay close to home. Words carefully chosen might be able to disperse some of the conflict surrounding the 26th, though it seems you'll be less the instigator than the peacemaker. Just when you are about to scream: LET ME OFF !!! the train will pull into the station and everything will simmer back down to normal. For a few weeks anyway...

GEMINI

(May 21- June 20)

You’re getting sleepy…very sleepy… Well, drowsy anyway. Mercury is moving slowly and preparing for a retrograde cycle, so you may be low on gas this month, figuratively or literally. Pull it together, Gem. A wild Odyssey is afoot this month and begins on the 6th. The energetic eclipse in your house of destinations could get an otherwise comfy (or lazy) Gemini on the road. Your adventure culminates very excitingly on the 13th, though you must navigate Medusa’s lair on the 10th to get there. Examine the facts if you find you are actually living with a hag who can turn you into stone, OK? The Gods Must be Crazy on the 17th, so keep your wits about you and hopefully sail out of Hades on the 19th, just in time to hear the sirens song and score some loverly action the 22nd. A tryst to reawaken weary spirits, or was it just a beautiful dream… The 26th is intense; finances play a role in this saga, too, apparently. For what it’s worth, ends on a nice note and the muses will grant you voice to recount your epic tales to the masses by months end.

CANCER

(June 21- July 22)

If you've been clunking around with no real destination in sight, things get off to an interesting start this month and a new cycle begins where things left off last winter ('07). A vibrant eclipse impacts a financial situation on the 6th and you (finally) get a fair shake. The 19th and 21st are auspicious for better trends, especially where applied to your love life. Nonetheless, even expecting the unexpected won't prepare you for the, well, unexpected turns your life might take in the next few weeks. Fortunately with the love goddess smiling on you can take it all in stride. Seems like there is someone or something clanking around in your house of secrets and things you want to leave behind. Those ghosts seem to be making a racket right now and won't be fully exorcized until the end of the month. The better part of that is once they are finally gone, they are gone as in forever. Let em clank, you can smile and look the other way, (that's what a Libra would do) or you can confront them. The secret weapon comes in the mail on the 26th, and hell hath no fury like... well, you know the rest.

LEO

(July 23 - August 22)

Relationships, love and friends are paramount for you right now and you'll do your best to keep company with those you hold most dear this month. You'll need the reinforcements when your job or work life take unexpected and possibly bizarre turns mid month. The luminous Aquarius eclipse on the 6th highlights the best possible outcomes in a significant relationship. The undertones glitter with exciting possibility and transform your entire outlook. The 13th is also highly auspicious, even for a new meeting, if one is sought. A lost love from the past reemerges on the 22nd. A healing dynamic prevails. Look out on the 19th and 26th for the clearest messages regarding changes at work, but wait to decide to clean out your desk till next month, when dust settles.

VIRGO

(August 23 - September 22)

Friends and lovers clash at the beginning of the month, setting the tone for a realignment of your love life and closest comrades. While it is not impossible to synchronize these aspects of your life, you'll run into some obstacles on the 26th. Anticipate positive changes on the work front around the 6th. A promotion or raise in the cards for you as a result of diligence due. Career moves and long term goals you have worked towards since winter '07 finally start to come through. Pay extra attention on the 8th, 13th, 17th, and 22nd. These dates speak volumes for advancement and carefully choosing the projects that will assure success. The 26th is pernicious and finances are involved. If you find you are over extended, this is the time to pull out. A love relationship takes a powerful turn on the 22nd.

LIBRA

(September 23 - October 22)

While most folks are hitting the beach and taking their vacations in August, Libra seems to be working on a big project at work or planning a professional jump. This theme is prevalent for the next two months, so don’t feel you have to get it done all at once. The 6th has you bouncing off the walls; high spirits and good news around a creative project are likely. You hit a wall on the 10th and might need to nurse your battle wounds. Fortune smiles on the 13th and you get your best offer. A lot of energy culminates weirdly between the 17th – 19th. You get a lot of messages get dumped on you and will have to be quick on your feet to navigate this particular mine field. Persistent efforts yield the best results. You sparkle on the 22nd, making this the best date night for the month. Libras looking for love find it on the sea shore. Water motifs have clues, and the color blue makes you captivating. Maybe a teeny little vacay wouldn’t hurt? You’ll need to make yourself clear on the 26th. Rest up.

SCORPIO

(October 23 - November 21)

Around a year and a half ago you may have been considering going back to school or taking a voyage. Circumstances probably inhibited the growth you sought, and distractions in your day to day life were pervasive. In the coming cycle these latent desires for growth get CPR and you can begin to set course now. You are going through internal changes that set the stage for adventure this month and the 13th, 17th, 19th and 22nd all signify markers of positive transformation for you. The eclipse on the 6th allows a very important moment of closure you have been seeking in your personal life for nearly two years. The 1st and 26th of the month indicate periods of more dramatic readjustment and show you where the holes in your armor may be. Patch it up and get ready for your big adventure!

SAGITTARIUS

(November 22 - December 21)

The emphasis on one to one relationships dwindles soon, Sag, but the universe seems to have cooked up a few more treats this month. The dust settles later, just enjoy the ride for now, k? The 13th and 17th are awesome for meetings and greetings or any kind of escapade you might want to consider getting into. You burgeon with new ideas on the 6th. Try to write everything down, if you can. Significant developments in your career are also evident this month with the 3rd, 8th and 17th and 19th being particularly productive for you. Keep in mind that with Mercury about to go retrograde in your professional sector, work done now will need to be redone in a months time. Do not let this inhibit you from trying to use the dates above advantageously. Be wary on the 1st and 26th for disconcerting financial news. Hit the high road for an escapade only a Sag. could dream up on the 20th.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 - January 18)

The current emphasis on partnerships does not dwindle just yet, Cap. Powerful things are culminating in your most intimate relationships this and next month, reaffirming the messages you got in July. The month begins with an important realization about yourself or your relationship. Tension can be released now, and should be so you can better enjoy more enticing moments on the 8th, 19th, 22nd. Love of money not withstanding, an exciting opportunity to add to your earned income boons on or around the 6th. You are half way to the financial independence you have been seeking for the past two years, though the check might not be in the mail for a few more weeks. Look to the 13th and 17th to make changes in how or how much money you earn. Career developments are going to be paramount for the rest of the year, so free as much of your time as possible now by finding a position either more aligned with your goals, or that leaves you enough time to pursue them independently. Challenges crop up on the 26th.

AQUARIUS

(January 19 - February 18)

You have a special glow this month when you finally start to see progress in your personal life where you had almost resigned yourself to failure. Finally, the corridors crack open and reveal a beautiful new sense of self discovery and actualization. This occurs on the 6th, specifically, but the dates of the 13th and the 17th are also particularly delightful for self expression, cultivating a love relationship or a new project. Relationships take on powerful undertones on the 22nd. It makes such a difference when your heart is in it, no? If you've been trying to sidle up to a new health regiment or seeking a new job, the cards are stacked in your favor. Follow leads on the 8th, 19th and 22nd for good results. The 1st and 26th are intense and could leave you out in the cold, so bundle up! You will need to clarify a situation on the 17th. Trust logic over intuition.

PISCES

(February 19 - March 20)

Love can be wondrous this month, but someone close to home seems to be rattling your cage. Summer's dwindling days are ushered in with a dramatic revelation about a lover. The air is cleared, for the best, but getting there may be a challenge. The 3rd and 8th are all about effective communication and making a good impression. Mercury slowing and preparing to retrograde in your house of partnerships, nonetheless, reveals you need to make the best of it now. Things get cracked out in September, and accord is harder to reach. A situation or unexpected event at home on the 10th gives way to an important decision on the 13th. A mystical undertone culminates on the 6th and you'll feel ready to move on from a limiting circumstance. It's hard to make yourself clear on the 17th, but someone close may be demanding an answer. The 22nd is better to come to a conclusion and not coincidentally one of the most magical days of your month. Lovers and friends quarrel on the 26th. You may be on the fence about who's side to take. Who says you have to take sides anyway?
