Set your course for the nearest tropical getaway, or take a class that gives you a taste of an exotic culture.
TAURUS (April 21-May 20)

GEMINI (May 21-July 20)
If you work with clients one-to-one, expect a flurry of them to come to your door this month. You have answers that others are struggling to find, and the only problem you might have is understanding why they can’t find the without your help. Someone special could light up your weekend on the 8th.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You’re feeling stronger than before, now that the new year is getting into full swing. A full moon in your house of earnings could bring a windfall that comes in handy now. Resist the temptation to use it all at once, just in case you need some of it later. Around the 12th, a situation that combines community, friendship, and love could be fabulously rewarding.
LEO (July 23-Aug 22)
You’re feeling more fiery than ever this month, and your social life will reflect your eagerness to get out there and strut your stuff. With Venus in your house of enjoyment through the 23rd, you’ll have plenty of invitations, dates, and fun times. A decision about a relationship will be easier when the full moon shines light on what’s really best for you around the 25th.
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)
Pluto’s move into Aquarius is about to rock your world. Suddenly, you’ll be thinking more about how you can transform your life to be taking better care of yourself. Being service to others is something you do naturally, but setting limits on that kind of activity might become even more important. The new moon on the 11th is a great time to balance work with fun.
LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)
Don’t let the January blues stop you from enjoying the friendship and love that come from a robust social life.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-Dec 21)
The party’s not over yet, even though the holiday time has wound down and people are getting back to work. Enjoy the attention you’re sure to get while Venus continues to grace your sign for most of the month. Be mindful, also, of a new business idea that could be brewing. It may take time to develop it, but you have to start somewhere!
CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan 20)
It’s your birthday month~ Celebrate by spending time reflecting on the things that matter most to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 20)
