Jupiter will make sure that there are plenty of smiles all around. 

TAURUS (April 21-May 20)

Welcome Jupiter into your house of home and family with open arms. You might be due for a family visit, or consider making changes around your abode. With Chiron in your sign now, get used to noticing the areas in your life that you’d like to heal. The sun will give its blessing to you on the 23rd, making this an excellent time to take care of your physical and mental health.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’ll make peace with the planets this month, as many of them feed into your airy soul. Venus’ move into Libra will help to create pleasant social situations after the 6th. A new connection could bring exciting earning opportunities around the 11th. By month’s end, you’ll use your powers of persuasion to pull off an impressive transaction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Jupiter’s move into your house of earning and spending could create quite a lot of financial activity. Expect a surprise connected to money with the solar eclipse on the 12th. If you make a major purchase, leave enough padding in your bank account to ensure that you still feel cozy and secure.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22)

The planets seem to know it’s your birthday month! The solar eclipse in your sign on the 12th amplifies the sunshine that emanates from your generous heart. Mercury’s move into your sign on the 9th helps you to accurately express your needs. Expect extra goodies from Jupiter on the 15th, and enjoy a romantic interlude when the lunar eclipse lights up your house of partnership on the 29th.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Uranus and Neptune’s dance will activate your desire to make a splash in the world. Technology could play a larger role than usual in your work, or a person who has a say in what you do could offer an intriguing opportunity. People relish your dependability, but don’t let Pluto over work you. Dive into some pensive moments when Jupiter and Saturn activate your need for peace and quiet.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)

Venus lets you use your charm as leverage at work, and it appears that you will need it. By the 11th, the activity level will rise sharply, and Mars will ensure that things happen fast. The rewards will come when you notice how well you’ve done. The sun’s move into Virgo on the 22nd provides incentive to streamline your schedule and put focus on self-pampering.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)

Be diplomatic with family members, but stand firmly behind your boundaries. Responsibilities continue to mount outside of the home, but you won’t mind working on projects that foster your personal and career growth. Neptune and Mars might entice you to a trip by the water around the 11th. Let Saturn help you pull in the reins on excessive commitments on the 31st.

SAGITTARIUS  (November 22-Dec 21)

Pluto provides you with ample powers of persuasion now. Your blatant honesty and integrity are the attributes your loved ones admire. Still, there’s no law that says you have to divulge everything! Use Neptune’s ability to sprinkle fairy dust on nosy neighbors, and keep your eyes on the prize: a possible far-flung vacation when the eclipse hits on the 29th. 

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan 20)

This month’s eclipses place extra emphasis on your finances. You’ll get a clear answer about an investment you’re considering around the 14th, while unexpected earnings or expenses preoccupy you by the 29th. There could be a relative who’s as level headed as you are, and who’s able to validate your plans or suggest alternatives.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 20)

At the time of the eclipse on the 14th, significant others in your life might put pressure on you. Really, all they want is more of your time and attention. Consider the extra bonding moments as investments in the future, and let Jupiter encourage you to have fun with it. By the end of the month, the eclipse of the moon will reveal a part of you that you’re finally willing to share..

PISCES (Feb 21-March 20)

Keep a more confident and comfortable attitude toward your financial position. Saturn’s presence in your house of earning and spending can feel restrictive, but in truth all that’s needed is more structure and a bit of attention to detail. The sun’s move into Virgo on the 22nd will show you how good it is to have partners in life standing by your side. Make plans to be together, or plan a wild adventure, when Mercury and Uranus incite and excite you on the 27th.
