After three weeks retrograde, Mercury is turning direct while conjunct Mars. New ideas to fix recent problems are coming too fast and furious. Think carefully to pick the truly effective ones. Both planets are opposing Saturn, so be careful not to blame but to work on better cooperation.
ARIES (March 20–April 19):
Faith in yourself may come a little too easy. Find someone you trust for confirmation and constructive criticism. No, dear. You need that from them! Solving the challenges in a relationship is the test of true commitment.
TAURUS (April 20–May 20):
Knowing that you worry too much about your health doesn’t mean there aren’t problems. Focus on real pains and risks and get them checked out. Find the sensible middle ground between worry and neglect.
GEMINI (May 21–June 20):
Dreams for the future may be vastly excessive of the talents and materials you actually have to invest for them now. Ideals should be beyond reach; goals just within. Don’t build castles in the air, but on strong, solid foundations.
CANCER (June 21–July 22):
Your brilliant ideas at work may feel unappreciated at home. Perhaps the lack of enthusiasm is because your talents are no surprise and they expect great things of you. Their support matters, but you may have to explain specifics to get it.
LEO (July 23–August 22):
Your brain’s afire with grand ideas, but they need grounding in practical principles and experience. Find an Aquarius who knows the field. If he or she says, "That won’t work," ask how to make it work!
VIRGO (August 23–September 22):
Sex without guilt is fine, but sex without responsibility is dangerous. Be clear on safety, but also on your life’s priorities. Cultivate a Puritan work ethic without getting hung up on their prudery; a simple matter of "first things first!"
LIBRA (September 23–October 22):
Trying to hold down your partnership could be a big mistake. It needs room to breathe and grow. That can mean allowing room to let your love do things you don’t like. Mutually agreeable limits may require compromise.
SCORPIO (October 23–November 21):
You’ll reach your goals one step at a time. An obsessive rush to push ahead can make you miss important details, cause foolish mistakes and make simple things more long and complicated. Breathe, focus and relax!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 20):
Those powerful creative impulses are sure to hit a wall, but so what? Take the challenge to improve upon your original idea, to make it more practical and effective. If it was that good an idea to start with, it’s worth the effort.
CAPRICORN (December 21–January 19):
Domestic drama seems a distraction from work you need to be doing. Find a way to harness that energy and get the folks at home to support you. That won’t be easy, but the effort can pay off big time!
AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18):
Examine new subjects from the ground up and review the basics on familiar topics. If you want higher purpose and inspiration find a Leo to help you develop your basic ideas into a grand vision.
PISCES (February 19–March 19):
A sexual dry spell can be a gift encouraging you to focus on practical matters. Keeping your priorities clear is challenging, not impossible. Money can come and go very easily now. Work hard to keep it coming and not going!
