Your Star Signs by Tamara
A new moon Tuesday brings a wave of fresh possibilities and
opportunities. The energy is light yet eclectic, especially midweek,
when love and socializing are at their quirky best. But a Uranus-Pluto
square brings tension to the weekend, and intensifies conflict on a
much greater global scale as well.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
You’re doing more travelling after Tuesday; maybe some island hopping or
yachting on the meditterrean? And communications work is particularly
strong all year. This is likely writing, though it could also be
translation or sales. Words are pouring out of you like a waterfall.
Whether single or attached, romance is stimulated by short trips,
weekends away; even just a day out of town with new scenery. If you have
a sister or brother, expect them to play a bigger role in your life, or
to hear good news themselves. Wednesday brings some exciting surprise
around romance and short trips or even an interesting night out. If
single you could meet someone exciting. But the weekend is frustrating;
your patience is tested again, by a boss or someone else in charge. Try
and stay cool.
Taurus (April 20-May20):
You’re still figuring out the best way to earn or manage your money;
solutions will become more clear after June 27th and you might actually
end up with two sources of income. If you lost a job earlier this year,
it might even return this month, or something about it could morph into
another job. And the money you earn this year is directly linked to
whatever seeds of prosperity you planted this past year, when Jupiter
was in your sign and providing the hope and confidence to start some new
venture. You’ll see some new chance to make money this week, either
through a promotion at work or new client if you’re self-employed. Don’t
worry, financial rewards are on their way. Can you feel it? Don’t travel
this weekend-it’ll be a headache.
Gemini (May 21-June20):
Tuesday’s new moon brings a big boost to your career over the next 2
weeks. Others notice your creativity and you too are recognizing your
own talents and potentials. Something important to your professional
future is crystallizing now; focus on perfecting already existing goals
instead of starting new ones. This would be a better use of the
planetary energies. Thanks to Jupiter, planet of expansion, abundance
and opportunity, others want to support you in any way they can. You’ve
been focused on a home or family matter and it’s soon wrapping up. This
is good because you really need to shift your energies into other things
now, especially after July 3rd, when you’re social life starts
exploding. Though midweek brings fun with friends; you’re very popular.
Delay signing documents until after June 27th.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
Consider the mind-body connection. Is there any heath issue, physical or
psychological that holds you back? This week brings another chance to
address it. Talking to friend will make you aware of bad habits you no
longer see. Career continues to throw surprises at you, so make sure
you’re functioning at top form. Midweek brings an inspiring idea around
career. The hard work you’ve done is starting to pay off; just keep
trusting that you’re on the right path. But burning the candle at both
ends means you’d love a little downtime and privacy. While you’re at it,
check in with your doctor or dentist; isn’t it time? As you spend more
time alone, you realize how intuitive you are. Follow your instincts.
The weekend brings tension or struggle in career with a partner or
client.
Leo (July 23-August 22.):
This week’s new moon highlights the power of friendships in your life.
Kick back and relax. You’re meeting lots of new people and some of them
could actually become friends. Due to an explosion of social
invitations, romantic possibilities present themselves, though wait
after June 27th to take them seriously. With Venus backwards, protect
your reputation and although career is not moving forward as fast as
you’d like, at least it’s moving. Are you making at least steady
progress? Believe it or not, you might also have the chance to do
volunteer work or get involved in politics or your community in some
way. If you’ve been frustrated at efforts to get healthy or fit, it’ll
become noticeably easier next week; you’ve reached a certain level and
progress will speed up. Watch cash flow.
Virgo (August 23-Sept 22):
A new moon this week creates momentum in your career-exciting changes
are everywhere. You could see a promotion or wonderful new position,
depending on your industry. It probably involves writing, lecturing,
sales or marketing or public relationship. Or you could be involved with
social media or telecommunications, as a software designer. You’re just
in a beautiful phase professionally, and midweek you could hear
unexpectedly happy news about money from previous efforts. Maybe someone
from your past remembers you and becomes a client. With Mars still in
your sign, you’re still in control, especially in key one-to-one
partnerships. You’ve been re-thinking a creative or love matter these
past couple months, and things seem more clear next week. In fact you
may be toying with the idea of a creative collaboration, blending
romance with an artistic dream.
Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22):
Now is a great time for travel. If you can’t get away, take a
mind-expanding journey. You’re hungry for ideas, so give your brain
something to chew on; why not take a course or attend some workshops? Or
get lost in a good book; a new age one; it’ll help you make sense of a
difficult 2 year period. Fresh possibilities become apparent this week
around study, publishing, broadcasting, or foreign people and places.
You’re a natural at marketing and promotions and even teaching is
calling you. Midweek brings good financial news. You’ve been trying to
improve the way you live, particularly around home or property, but have
felt blocked. You’ll see slow progress in a renovation or sale, for
example until after June 27th, when everything seems to turn around,
including your personal life.
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21):
Expect to see new beginnings and opportunities around money –
specifically large one-time sums that you earn through business deals,
or see through settlements, royalties, commissions, loans or selling big
ticket items. It may relate to an artistic or entrepreneurial venture;
in fact this week would be perfect for funding or loan applications.
Midweek could bring an unexpected work project or contract, with nice
compensation. And later this week the travel bug starts biting and if
you have the chance to get on a plane, take it. It might even be work
that takes you to a foreign land. Alternatively you could use this
energy to study something you’ve always felt connect to. Money is under
control for the moment so you’re in the mood to ask the bigger
questions. Next week, things get unstuck.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21):
Eclipses in your sign mean that a whole new chapter is opening up to new
one-to-one relationships, both personal and business. You’re sparkling
and this attracts positive people to you. People you collaborate with,
whether personal or business, carry a lot of weight lately and you’ve
had to patient. But it’s worth it because they’re helping you towards
your goals. In fact, you’ve spent the last month improving cooperation
and reconciling one particular relationship. Romance and creativity
could still intertwine to create magic. This week you’ll have the chance
to start something new in a partnership that uses your artistic talents;
you’re building a future together. With Venus still backwards in your
relationship sector though, certain details still need to be ironed out
before you can move ahead. Don’t sign contracts until at least June
27th.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19):
This week brings new beginnings in fitness or health. Knowing you,
you’ve already set your fitness goals for the year and if you actually
begin programs this week you’ll have a good chance of reaching them. So
hire that sexy trainer at the gym and get started. Visit your doctor and
dentist too because next week you’ll be much busier and back on track
with work and personal relationships. But hold off on getting serious
about love until after June 27th. You’re really too focused on work
anyway and your agenda is full. Professional matters have been bumpy and
you’ve taken responsibility for it. Midweek brings the chance to work at
home or you get a fresh work assignment related to property matters. But
the weekend could be stressful with a property manager, landlord or
family member.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18):
By now you should have completed any goals around family or property.
Maybe you found the perfect apartment or new piece of furniture-even the
right colour for your walls. Family bonding was inevitable and you have
much to be grateful for. Your love life has been on hold, or maybe
you’ve slowed things down a little to re-assess things; it should sort
itself out after June 27th. After a period of drought, the sands are
indeed shifting and you’re at the right point emotionally to open your
heart to love. This week brings new social and romantic opportunities to
the surface, and keeps your sex life bouncing. If it’s what you hope
for, getting pregnant will be easier too. And if you’re already
attached, watch your love bloom and blossom beautifully.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20):
Real estate, home or family concerns are really big now. With Venus
retrograde this past while, there have been slowdowns in a property
matter, probably because some settlement has been delayed. Expect news
about that next week. On Tuesday, a new moon in your home sector brings
you the chance to find the right apartment, home or artistic design. It
will reflect you perfectly and make you feel right at home. Why not have
a dinner party to celebrate; spread the love you feel. Midweek
especially bring unexpected solutions around money or home decorating.
Maybe your negotiations for a new condo or villa could pay off.
Happiness is spending peaceful time at home now; try gardening to help
you meditate on life and its cycles.
