Re-examine your daily routine. Some streamlining may be in order. Make room for activities that support your health and pump up your fitness. When Mercury backs into Leo on the 15th, you’ll have a hard time staying still! Snuggle time comes on the 29th, when Venus dances into your sign of love and commitment.
TAURUS (April 21-May 20)
Revisit a social activity or sport you used to love, and see how it feels to you now. Maybe you’ve let too much time go by since you used to go out of your way to have fun. An old friend, or perhaps a friend of the family, could come out of the woodwork and make you burst into a megawatt smile. Ride that roller coaster!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Thinking about spending time with family? Mercury will encourage you to do that this month. Bury the hatchet if you need to, and take a road trip that takes you back to old time. Some time away may bring you more summer fun you expected. A lightning bolt from Mars and Jupiter gives you a jolt of good will around the 14th.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Car trips always appeal to you, because you can pack up all the stuff that makes you feel at home and fill your vehicle to the brim. This month, be a bit more cautious as you make your preparations. Regular maintenance and extra attention to detail will help prevent Mercury retrograde from creating an added automotive expense
LEO (July 23-Aug 22)
It’s your birthday month! Celebrate with your friends and let your family lavish love on you too. After the parties are over, you may mull over a major financial decision that will deeply affect your peace of mind. Once we get past the 15th, you can invest in something that will enrich and improve your life.
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)
You can handle Mercury retrograde in your sign better than the rest of us. That discerning eye of yours can now be turned on making you into your own little project. On the 19th, explore your true needs, and take action to meet them. Money could become easier to come by when Venus and Pluto get together to support you at the end of the month.
LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)
Reflect on your inner life some now, as Mercury retrograde shows you how powerful it is to fully and completely connect to the source of all love. A sudden realization around the 18th will reveal just how much power there is right there in your heart. A renewed sense of self-worth will make you a standout in a group project around the 29th.
SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Make sure you check messages from wherever they might come. A group of people you like could be inspired to have a reunion, thanks to Mercury going retrograde in your house of communal effort. No way would the party be the same without you, but be aware that the sun will keep you pretty busy through the 23rd.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-Dec 21)
Put your focus on a work project that might have been stalled for some time. Observe how taking a pause allows you to gain new perspectives. Look for advice from overseas to come in around the 19th. Who knows? This global connection might require you to take a long-distance field trip. We know how your inner adventurer would love that.
CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan 20)
Forget about DEET. The travel bug is ready to bite you big time. Whatever faraway place may call you, let that Leo energy propel you there. After the 15th, Mercury will move into your house of investments and deep connections. Let someone you met before come back into your life and provide the advice and support you crave.
AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 20)
Intimacy isn’t something you like to think about all the time, but Mercury’s retrograde period will draw attention to your relationships this time. The one you love might need you to prove your passion. Consider a sexy event around the 19th. The planets will set off fireworks all over your body.
PISCES (Feb 21-March 20)
The demands of all your one-to-one connections will play on you this month, and you’ll find that you need to collect your energy so that you have more to give. Neptune in your sign creates a constant distraction that often puts you in a dream world. Around the 29th, Pluto and Venus will allow you to bring your most romantic fantasies into reality.
