ARIES (March 21-April 20)
You’re not exactly known for your willingness to stay in one place for long, so give into the urge to take a few little road trips to celebrate warmer weather. Your wanderlust doesn’t have to take you too far. Consider using some part of a possible windfall that comes in from generous Jupiter around the 18th on a sweet, if slight, change of scenery.
TAURUS (April 21-May 20)
Your birthday month will be more of a cause for celebration than usual, thanks to a parade of planets sliding by to be touched by the inspiration and electricity of planet Uranus. Make a bold move on the 13th, and turn up the heat on a romantic situation on the 23rd. Your Memorial Day weekend is bound to sizzle. Hooray!
GEMINI (May 21-July 20)
Are you feeling as though you could explode with a burst of optimism, happiness, and good will? Jupiter will give you every reason to believe in the power of all things good once it crosses into your sign on the 26th. In the period leading up to that moment, set boundaries around just how much you're willing to take on. This will let you be clearer about which of the tons of upcoming opportunities are right for you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You might become more circumspect this month, as emotional energies from Venus encourage you to ask questions like “What is it that I really want?” Use the new moon on the 8th to initiate a project that involves lots of other people. This could be work-related, but it could also be a summer plan that makes you and your friends happy for many chances to dance in the sun.
LEO (July 23-Aug 22)
Good thing you’re not terribly shy, because you have a chance to be in the spotlight this month. A secret ambition could be realized around the 7th, when the sun brings light to a way to start a new project. The full moon on the 23rd could awaken your desire to get out and do more things for fun. Go on and do it. You have plenty of reasons to celebrate!
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)
Any educational pursuit you’ve been involved with could benefit your career this month. The new moon on the 8th charges up your curiosity. By the 21st, expect to apply new knowledge to a problem that makes the people around you call you names like “lifesaver” and “a blessing.” Save the 23rd for a romantic moment or two.
LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)
There’s a lot going on in your house of intimacy this month. Are you being completely open to someone who really, truly cares about you? Don’t be standoffish because you’re afraid you might get hurt. Remember that even if your heart gets broken, it can always heal. A sudden surge of heartfelt attraction will overwhelm you on the 18th. Give in to love.
SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Take a chance on a new relationship this month, or hit the reset button on one that means a lot to you. The new moon on the 8th will give you cause to make an advance toward a friendship or romantic situation. You’ll want to make the most of this through the 23rd, before sweet Venus slips out of your house of relationships.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-Dec 21)
You’re one of those people who doesn’t get excited about being tied down, but don’t let that stop you from taking a chance on or renewing an important friendship or another loving relationship. The full moon in your sign could bring in a lot of admiration on the 23rd, and from there Venus will turn you on. Jupiter’s move into Gemini on the 26th will set your love life on fire…in a good way.
CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan 20)
Make a point of having more fun this May. Too many people think you’re the “all work and no play” type, but there’s so much more to you than that. The new moon on the 8th is in your house of diversion. This could inspire you to get out there more often. Plan a date or three for Memorial Day weekend. There’s someone who thinks you look adorable in your new bathing suit!
AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 20)
Staying close to home will bring you peace this month. A new moon in your house of family and abode could inspire you to make some changes in your living environment. It could be time to set up your grilling and chilling space. A fire ring or new barbeque tools will attract friends and family so you can celebrate the summer season together.
PISCES (Feb 21-March 20)
It’s not easy to see past life’s obstacles that stand in your way when Saturn’s in your sign, but your visionary capabilities help you to stay optimistic. Pluto’s powerful influence allows you to affirm that there’s so much more to life than the material world. Explore options for practicing your spirituality around the 17th. You’ll feel validated around the 23rd, when the full moon brings recognition for a goal you have reached.
