<p>SAGITTARIUS<br />
Happy Birthday to the most optimistic, free-wheeling, and fun sign of the Zodiac!  This isn’t just a new year for you but a brand new beginning!  You’re saying good-bye to a 14 year cycle that was very personal to your sign.  Tell me you’re not a totally different person than you were all those years ago?!?<br />
You are beginning a critical 15 year period around your personal finances.  Your income can change drastically during this time and a whole new way of earning a living is a possibility.  You’ll definitely be paying a lot more attention to detail and you’ll want to have complete control over your money!  There will be an element of secrecy around what you make and spend.    There could be a mistrust of banks and financial institutions, too.<br />
On another level, you may go through a drastic change where your morals and values are concerned.  This subtle yet profound transformation may catch you unaware until you realize you’re absorbing life on a much deeper level.  Make sure you stay true to yourself and don’t surrender your personal power!<br />
This sector of both resources and values remains abundant until the new year, when your luck  shifts to communication, transportation, community, and family.  You should prosper in these areas through 2009.  Now’s the time for writing (&#038; to be published!), spiritual endeavors, local travel, on-line activities, and socializing in the neighborhood.  You may want to take a class in something you’ve long desired to learn about.  It’s an excellent time to buy a new car!  Destiny continues to smile on this sector, also. Fated events in relation to the above can have aspects of creativity, spirituality, mysticism, artistry, and anything to do with a water element.  Enjoy this highly abundant time, just don’t get swept away&#8230;<br />
Career objectives may be slow in coming to fruition but rest assured you will be rewarded for all your hard work. The end result will be in proportion to the amount of effort exerted.  You can expect some immediate gain the 1st-6th but may run into a financial conflict the 25th-30th.<br />
All work and no play can create challenges with those closest to you.  Your home and family life is still subject to change and unpredictability.  While not terribly stable it’s also exciting and works with your need for spontaneity!  Hang loose where real estate matters are concerned.<br />
Your energy and passion are especially high this month.  Your true partners know to give you your space and freedom.  You’re luckiest in love close to home especially after the 7th.  Or you could meet someone on-line or at a Christmas function!  It’s a very social month for you, however, your focus may shift to money matters after the 12th.<br />
So continue to do what you do best Sag.  Live large and love life! <img src='http://astrologicalcharacteristics.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Energy surrounds legal issues, publishing, long distance travel, spiritual endeavors, and in-laws.<br />
Issues with children and romance continue. Learn to forgive old habits.<br />
Friendships warm up after the 7th, especially with those who are as creative and spiritual as you!<br />
Continue to pay attention to your physical health.  Mentally you may feel like you’re going a little crazy.  It’s your intuition trying to get your attention!  Listen to those flashes of insight!</p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
All joint concerns are highlighted with plenty of energy so use it wisely.  Communication benefits shared resources until the 12th. <br />
Then, your sector of legal, spiritual, educational, and long distance travel will become big conversation as you are starting a long cycle of transformation here. The adjustment may be difficult the 25th-30th, although you continue to be fortunate this month. Highlight the 1st-6th, where romance, children and creativity are concerned.  Progress is slow but steady in these areas.<br />
After the 7th your career gets a major boost.  You should be following your life path, specifically in regards to entertainment, spirituality, or any profession that has to do with water, gas/oil, or art.<br />
Friendships remain either unpredictable, exciting, or enlightening depending on how susceptible you are to others influence!<br />
Don’t give in to old behaviors where the home and family are concerned.  Stay focused on your public self!</p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
This month is all about relationships with the emphasis on partners.  Communication is great until the 12th, when discussions will turn to shared endeavors like money. This sector of joint resources is undergoing some major long term transformation.  You continue to be lucky here through December, especially the 1st-6th, where your home and real estate matters are concerned.  Problems or arguments could arise the 25th-30th.<br />
Traditional family values continue to conflict with your need to be seen as free-spirited and independent.  Your public image and career are still susceptible to change and unpredictability.<br />
Long distance travel, formal education, spiritual, and legal matters are favored over community, local events, and short trips.  Be extra cautious with communication and transportation endeavors.</p>

Major changes are taking place around partnerships and you’re moving into a new era!  Luck continues to smile on relationships this month, especially the 1st-6th, where communication, community, and conveyance are concerned.  Beware of disputes the 25th-30th.<br />
Your work and health sector is also energized!  You’ll be extremely motivated to get things done before the new  year, and why wait until then to join a gym?<br />
Destiny shines on inheritances and shared resources.  Look to invest in oil, art, music, entertainment, and anything to do with water or spirituality.  Make sure you cross your t’s, dot your i’s and watch your spending!<br />
Foreign travel, legal, educational, publishing endeavors, and in-laws, all remain unpredictable.   Expect the unexpected here and stay flexible.<br />
Drive cautiously and think before you speak!<br />
 <br />

Love, romance, parties, fun, and children, highlight your month!  You must take good care of yourself as you’re entering a long dramatic cycle around work and health.  Pay attention to the heart, spine, knees, bones, skin and teeth! You continue to be lucky here until the end of the year.<br />
Power struggles and jealousy can creep up on the job, most noticeably the 25th-30th.  Spotlight the 1st-6th when a bonus is possible!  Discussions are favored after the 12th.<br />
Relationships of all sorts continue to be fated.  You have the potential now to bond with a soul mate.  There may be some moral and financial issues to work out, however. Your need for security and stability could conflict with your partner’s care free ways.  Don’t lose yourself.</p>
<p>VIRGO<br />
Home is where the heart is for the holidays.  Things could be extra lively this year. Socializing is favored before the 12th, then your energy shifts to lovers and children.            <br />
Your romance sector is undergoing some powerful changes, hopefully around passion and desire, not power and control.  You’re attracting some really intense interest for a long time to come!  Power struggles are possible with children, also, as they will desire more control over their lives.  You remain lucky in both areas this month.  There’s a tendency to excess, especially the 1st-6th when you may need to break free of your disciplined self!  Watch out for arguments the 25th-30th.<br />
Work and health continue to be fated.  Tap into your creative, artistic, spiritual side as that will help eliminate any depression or malaise.<br />
Conflicts of interest still surround partnerships.  Your need for structure, order, and discipline is countering their need for freedom and independence. Strike a balance in the romance dept.!</p>
<p>LIBRA<br />

You are lucky here for the remainder of the year, especially the 1st-6th where friends come into play! Be aware of jealousy, either in the neighborhood or from on-line friends, taking extra care the 25th-30th when disputes are likely.<br />
Home and family are your destiny. You could be spending time sharing creative, spiritual, or artistic endeavors.  You may desire to live near water or put in a pool, a fountain, or a new bathroom.<br />
Because your home life is so rosy it could create conflict with your career.  There could be an inner nagging that you’re not following your life path.<br />
Romance and children are exciting, and enlightening yet entirely unpredictable.  Be spontaneous and see where they take you!</p>
<p>CAPRICORN<br />
You have just begun a long period of personal transformation.  Now is the time to make changes!   You’re still prosperous and abundant until the new year, especially the 1st-6th in relation to legal, spiritual, educational, publishing, and long distance matters.  Tried and true works best here.<br />
You fare better behind the scenes this month where you prefer to be anyway.  Just watch out for some back-stabbing or gossip.  There are people secretly jealous of you.  You’ll probably have to confront them the 25th-30th.  Communication runs in your favor after the 12th!<br />
You have huge potential to succeed financially now, specifically in anything to do with water, gas/oils/perfumes, and the arts/entertainment.  However, it is not a good time for investments or sharing resources.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SCORPIO<br />
Happy Birthday to the most intense, passionate, and discerning sign of the Zodiac!<br />
While you are not one to take change lightly, you still have another year ahead of it, particularly around all close relationships, the residence (a move is possible), and the career.   But fear not ~ it can be good!  It’s the Universes way of forcing you out of your comfort zone back onto your life path.  <br />
The most unpredictable, perhaps unstable, and maybe the most exciting part of your life, has been around romance and children.  There’s a need for independence here and fear of commitment is possible.  Your offspring may be asserting their individuality and trying to define their own unique identity.   Lovers and kids will crave more freedom and not want to conform to rules and restrictions.  The best way to handle both may be to hold on with an open hand or to try something  unconventional. <br />
Your creative energies and your social attitudes are becoming more eclectic, electric, and maybe eccentric too!  This could pose a conflict with more conservative friends or groups that are a mainstay in your life.   November can pose challenges.  The trick is to find compromise without sacrificing your individuality.  Remember the old Sly and the Family Stone song: “I want to thank you for letting me be myself”!!!?   However, your public image may suffer as you go through your metamorphosis.<br />
You’ll feel a weight lifted come December.  The key to all of the above is communication which is in your favor until January.  Teaching, not preaching, works best, when trying to convey new thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. <br />
Your whole thought process is on the verge of a major 15 year transformation.  You’re coming off a 14 year cycle that made you reevaluate your values.  Now you have to apply this to those closest to you such as family and community members. <br />
You are going to be more intense than usual!!  Find an outlet for your passion, such as writing, or researching on the internet.   Neighbors may begin to look suspicious but that’s their issue, not yours!   All this pent up energy requires a release so use it constructively or accidents are possible.  There could also be a deep desire to learn more about things in your immediate environment.  Expect pleasant surroundings after the 12th!<br />
Affairs around the home and family are more serene now although you might encounter some personal obstacles the 1st-6th.  A new spiritual or artistic element would greatly enhance this sector and fulfill part of your destiny ~ also, anything musical or metaphysical.  Water problems around real estate should be subsiding.  It would benefit you greatly to add a nautical or water feature to your home now such as a fountain, fish tank, or pool.  Aromatherapy can work wonders for your inner being.<br />
This is your month to relish your personal passion, drive, and ambition!  You have all the tools available to be assertive and get your point across.   From the 16th-22nd, your energies will shift toward your personal income and finances.  This sector is highly favored until the 12th when affairs come to a head or fruition!<br />
Try and go with the flow Scorpio so you can be open to all the greatness the Universe has to offer you!</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
Your joint financial sector is highlighted this month. It’s an excellent time to communicate about shared resources!<br />
Passion is strong until the 16th. Between then and the 22nd your focus will shift to legal, foreign/travel, spiritual, educational or publishing affairs, all of which are favored until the 12th. At that date, things can crystallize around the career ~ a sector about to undergo a major transformation!<br />
You’re on path with professional progress and manifesting goals.  Your public image still thrives, especially after the 12th!  Expect some great recognition the last days of the month!  Use your intuition to surmount challenges from behind the scenes.<br />
Spiritual groups and friendships move forward in fulfilling your destiny, although conflicts around values are possible the 1st-6th.</p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
Your life’s work is once again in sync with your life path, although some opposition from partners is possible the 1st-6th.  The focus is on relationships and communication this month.  Be wary of arguments until the 16th then manifest your passion in more seductive ways.  After the 21st your energy shifts towards joint finances which are rosy up to the 12th when a windfall is possible!<br />
You’re on the threshold of a major spiritual, legal, educational, or cultural transformation.  Things continue to prosper in this area, especially after the 12th, in regards to children, romance, creativity, and social affairs.<br />
Don’t let unpredictable friendships challenge your progress. Let those more unconventional fly their own flag. </p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
Facilitating work projects is a priority now, especially where writing, teaching, networking, and sales are involved.  Try not to stir up controversy before the 16th.  Between then and the 22nd your focus will shift to partnerships. <br />
Romance is great up until the 12th ~ power day, and can become even more passionate after that!<br />
The energy is intensifying around all shared resources which get a nice boost after the 12th. Working more independently may have been challenging on the home front but has paid off nicely where joint finances are concerned. Your prosperity could be the result of cutting back around household and real estate expenses.<br />
Spiritual affairs are in line with destiny and long distance vacations around water are favored!  However, there could be a conflict with work the 1st-6th.</p>
<p>CANCER<br />
Love is in the air!  You’ll have just the right words to convey your feelings to loved ones, children, and social connections even though money arguments are possible the 1st-6th.  Any tension should disperse after the 16th.  Between then and the 22nd, your focus will shift towards work and health, both of which are favored until the 12th.  Expect  a nice surprise then!<br />
 Growth, expansion, and prosperity surround all relationships which can get really romantic after the 12th.  You are on the verge of a major transformation here.  Communication benefits longevity although you may run into opposition from in-laws or those from afar over cultural, spiritual, or legal differences.  Remain open minded!  <br />
Joint endeavors are once again on course with your life path and you could be feeling extremely idealistic. </p>
<p>LEO<br />
Your mind is on your home and connecting with family members.   Communication may be secretive.  Be wary of arguments until the 16th.  Between then and the 22nd your energy shifts towards children and creativity.  Both are favored, along with romance up until the 12th (plan something special for that day), when the passion kicks in!  <br />
Relationships are sublime and destined, although you could run into family problems the 1st-6th.  You may be challenged by partners spending or behavior patterns.  Think outside the box when it comes to joint endeavors!<br />
You’re about to undergo some major changes with work and health, where you continue to be lucky, especially after the 12th.   Hard work, perseverance, and stamina are paying big dividends! </p>
<p>VIRGO<br />
Sales, speaking, writing, teaching, and learning are all highlighted this month in regards to family, community, and modes of transportation!  Be alert for accidents or arguments until the 16th.  Between then and the 22nd your focus shifts  to the home front and/or real estate endeavors where problems can arise if energy is not put to good  use.   This sector is rosy until the 12th, an excellent day to throw a family get together!<br />
Romance, children, and creativity continue to grow and prosper, especially after the 12th.  You’re about to embark on some powerful new energy here that will increase your desire for all of the above.  Self improvement benefits you in so many ways even though a partner’s unpredictability can be challenging.  Let them have their space and freedom so you can enjoy yours!<br />
Work and health flow nicely in accordance with life’s goals.  Aqua and aromatherapy are very beneficial to you when communication challenges can crop up the 1st-6th.</p>
<p>LIBRA<br />
There’s a lot going on with your personal finances now.  It’s an excellent tome to scrutinize that check book.  Watch spending until the 16th.  Between then and the 22nd your energy shifts over to communication, transportation, community, and family, all of which are super pleasant until the 12th!  It’s a great time to plan a reunion!                     Luck and abundance continues around family, home and real estate affairs, especially after the 12th!  You’re on the threshold of some deeply personal transformation here.  Staying focused and not giving into depression will help this transition even though strange physical symptoms may occur.  Health and work remain unpredictable so use unconventional means when it comes to dealing with personal issues.<br />
Romance is delightful and in accordance with your destiny.   Children and creativity are on a high, also.  Seek clarity the 1st-6th, when these areas can conflict with your money sector.</p>
<p>SAGITTARIUS<br />
Dreams, fantasies, and secrets can become reality after the 21st and anxiety can be turned into positive energy after the 16th.  You should be feeling quite positive up to the 12th ~ a power day for you!<br />
Mid month your focus switches towards your personal finances which continue to prosper, especially after the 12th!  Be cautious though, because you are on the verge of major change to your income.  Long term efforts around the career should be paying off.  You may encounter some opposition from family members who seek changes quicker than you’re ready to manifest them.  Don’t give more than you can afford.<br />
Communication and transportation are completely in line with your destiny now.  Anything to do with water, gases, perfumes, oils, music, or spirituality can greatly benefit your family and community!  Don’t let jealousy interfere with this sector the 1st-6th.</p>
<p>CAPRICORN<br />
You continue to grow and prosper as a person, especially after the 12th when your optimism gets a big boost!  The Universe is opening you up to some very real personal change.  Anxiety may be an issue after  the 16th but sweet dreams up until the 12th could lead to an epiphany on that day!<br />
Spiritual, legal, publishing, travel, and educational pursuits should be guiding you towards your goals. You may feel opposition from family, community, communication, or transportation affairs.  Roll with the changes and stay true to yourself! <br />
Arguments with friends are possible up to the 16th but this sector is highly favored for communication until the 22nd.  Don’t let a monetary dispute the 1st-6th, ruin an otherwise rosy financial picture that is in line with your life purpose.</p>
<p>AQUARIUS<br />
Ambition centers around your career and public image at this time although a personal conflict could arise the 1st-6th.  Watch out for overzealous co-workers or friends after the 16th as the energy changes focus mid month to all group endeavors.  This sector is highly favored until the 12th when socializing gives way to introspection.<br />
You must feeling pretty ideal about your life’s purpose and aligning your goals!  Dream big after the 12th when a friend could inspire you!  Your subconscious mind is about to undergo a major transformation that could be like opening up Pandora’s box!  You might discover psychic abilities or increase your metaphysical studies.  As a result, you may decide to slow down intimacy and financial endeavors as you pursue a more spiritual path.  In return, you can institute a new, more unconventional value system. You’re not known as the type to follow the status quo!</p>
<p>PISCES<br />
Long distance communication, legal, publishing, travel, and spiritual affairs are heated up until the 16th when your energy moves to your career sector.   Expect more public recognition after the 22nd!  You’re popularity continues throughout the month making you a hot social prospect after the 12th, a day when you really grab lots of attention! <br />

Your dreams and intuition are your guiding light in following your soul’s destiny.   Don’t let others beliefs deter you the 1st-6th.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2">LIBRA</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Happy Birthday/Solar Return to the lover, charmer, and diplomat of the zodiac! You are on the threshold of a deeply personal transformation, starting in early November. Over the next 15 years you will be purging things from long ago. The ultimate goal may be to emancipate yourself from family or past life experiences that dealt with power and control struggles. There will be a lot of intensity and letting go. Keep a close eye on your blood sugar.<br />
Homes and real estate will be undergoing changes too. You could be moving and/or could purchase a &#8220;fixer upper&#8221;. Presently, your home and family sector is highly favored until 2009 &#038; you can feel internally optimistic. You might be home schooling, looking at moving to a foreign country, or renewing your faith/spirituality.<br />
In January 2009 the energy shifts to your children and their learning endeavors. Expect good health for them and you may see a growth spurt. Luck and abundance surrounds if you don&#8217;t over indulge them.<br />
For single Libras, expect a lot more romance in the new year. You could meet someone foreign, wealthy, spiritual, well traveled, or educated. You&#8217;ll still need to be cautious about finding a special someone that seems too good to be true. Rose colored glasses aren&#8217;t your friend. At this particular time you may be fantasizing about or dealing with someone from your past, maybe one who has issues? Old wounds may get reopened so you can finally heal them, as destiny smiles on your love life, your children &#038; your creativity! Being honest with yourself will help others be honest with you.<br />
Your work and health sector remains filled with surprises. You&#8217;re probably dealing with previous problems at present. You crave independence and freedom and may not appreciate the confines of a regular schedule. There&#8217;s a certain anarchy with in yourself that is altering your personal life. Subconsciously you may be turning people against you. You gain the most from working hard behind the scenes.<br />
There&#8217;s a lot going on in your life, especially this month, when you are the star of the show!

You’re on the verge of a very passionate dynamic that will define your love nature for years to come.  There’s a deep intensity coming to all social encounters. <br />
Long term relationships and partners still remain unpredictable.  There’s a push/pull dynamic between your need for security and stability vs your need for independence.  This month highlights learning from previous mistakes.  You could hear from an old love, after the 23rd.<br />
Your past also plays a role in health and work endeavors.  Don’t repeat behaviors that aren’t good for you!  Falling back on karmic tendencies can lead to depression or self undoing.  Exercise discretion with all medications and focus on your future.  Meditation, massage, aroma therapy and spiritual endeavors can benefit the job environment and work wonders for your physical body.  These cures can also work for pet ailments that are hard to diagnose.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Release your dreams to the Universe! </p>
<p>This eclipse hits Neptune before it hits the Moon.  Neptune, co-ruler of Picses, is associated with many things. Negatively it is associated with depression/mental illness, and addiction ~ based on escapism/retreat from reality.  It creates fantasy and idealism ~ think &#8216;rose colored glasses&#8217;.<br />
It also rules the feet and is accociated with water ~ think King Neptune!  It governs gases, oils, and chemicals of all kinds!  Health issues are possible, especially with the ankles and feet. Caution should be excercised with water sports.  Look for even more unusual weather patterns.</p>
<p>Positively, Neptune represents etherial beauty.  Most Neptunians have that &#8220;X&#8221; factor or Star quality.  It governs inate talent, especially with musicians, dancers, and artists. <br />
It is a very compassionate Planet.  Just like Pisces, Neptune has issues with boundaries.  Where does water go but all over the place?  It is accociated with sacrafice and Spirituality.</p>
<p>I think this eclipse will accentuate Neptune&#8217;s more positive qualities as both the Moon &#038; Neptune are next to the North Node which guides our destiny!  The full Moon, Neptune, and North Node, are all in the sign of Aquarius which rules humanity, friendship, goals, hopes, and wishes.  As long as we choose to face universal circumstances realistically, and not succumb to Neptune&#8217;s seductive side, we can put forth measures that benefit the collective.  Perhaps carpooling with friends or using mass transit options will be the result of the current gas crunch?!  Maybe we&#8217;ll see some alternative changes made to our health care system?  These are only a few of the possibilities. </p>
<p>The signs most likely to be affected by this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse are Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio.  If your Moon or Ascendant is in one of these signs you may feel the effects more profoundly, too.  Change is your saving grace.  Expect the unexpected around relationships, career, home, family and real estate matters.  Eclipses bring hidden things to light.  If you have been living in the comforting fog of Neptune, this event could be a major eye-opener!  Rest assured ~ the Universe is promting you to follow your life path.</p>
<p>This is an excellent opportunity to make a wish list for the next six months.  Be really specific.  Combine reality with fantasy and dream big!  As long as your goals can somehow favor the greater and highest good of all, the sky will be the limit on what you can achieve!</p>

This month gets heated up with 2 Eclipses ~ a Solar one on August 1st and a Lunar one on August 16th.  The energy generated can last for up to a year and a half in the signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio.  Also, hidden things may be revealed.   For more info, please see my blog on Eclipses.</p>
<p>LEO<br />
Happy birthday to the most generous, loving, outgoing sign of the zodiac!  Your year is off to a roaring start! <br />
Expect some big changes for yourself and your significant others.  The more obstinate or resistant you are, the harder your transition will be.  It’s not about relinquishing control but having faith in the Universe.  Let it guide you towards your destiny!<br />
Your partnership sector is very fated at this time!  Established unions will benefit from the partners achievements.  Newer engagements will be focusing on long term goals, and single Leos may find their soul mate. You’re feeling exceptionally passionate right now! Be wary of deception and deceiving others.  Someone from your past (life) could play a role or old issues will need to be dealt with until November 1st.  Otherwise, relationships  are sublime and may even take on a spiritual quality.  <br />
When it comes to shared income or intimacy, things continue to be unpredictable.  There’s plenty of excitement but it comes at the price of instability or inconsistency. Unconventionality can play a role too ~ taking risks or doing things outside the norm.  You’ll be retracing your steps until the end of November.<br />
Exercise caution with your own finances this year.  You’re probably being more conservative which is good!  It’s time to focus on long term investments and building wealth. <br />
This month you’re motivated to earn and to spend.  Money arguments are possible the 3rd-9th with partners, and with children or a lover the 14th-20th.  The 15th-30th provides a much better opportunity to discuss resources, ask for a raise, or earn income on-line or through communication endeavors. <br />
Luck is with you on the job although you’ll be finishing up old projects until early September.  After September 7th you can expect  a BIG transformation around your work environment!  Be really flexible and on your toes here!<br />
Affairs lighten up around finances after the 20th, but could heat up around relatives and/or neighbors.  Bite your tongue and drive carefully!  Car problems are possible.<br />
Your health should not be neglected.  Favorable influences continue until 2009 unless you’re prone to excess.  It’s an excellent time to learn more about your liver, skin, knees, bones, and teeth!  Take care of things now, because come mid September, your health sector will begin a major period of alteration.  You already had a taste of this in early 2008.  Issues could arise around the pelvis and reproductive organs. <br />
The spot light is shining on you now, Leo ~ A place where you are most comfortable.  So hang on tight and keep smiling!  This year is going to be one wild ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
Expect a big surge of energy around friendships, group encounters, romance, children, and creativity!  A friends past deception could come to light ~ be careful of whose company you keep!  Know that it’s all part of your destiny as are fated love affairs or issues with kids.  Partnerships heat up after the 19th.<br />
Your career success is related to past endeavors, possibly involving  legal, spiritual, travel, &#038;/or educational pursuits.  Don’t let your impatience cause problems here the 14th-20th or wreak havoc behind the scenes the 3rd-9th.   You’re making steady progress on the job but  the  enlightenment you’re experiencing could turn into anxiety if you don’t learn from past mistakes!  Things smooth over after the 15th and it’s an excellent time to ask for what you’re worth!  Health improves at that time too.<br />
 <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JULY 2008 ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS<br />
 <br />
This month marks my first anniversary of writing this column!  I hope you enjoy your monthly updates as much as I enjoy plotting the planets for each sign.<br />
Happy 4th of July!!</p>
<p>CANCER<br />
Happy birthday to the most nurturing, sensitive sign of the zodiac! <br />
This year sees major change around partnerships!!  Right now until years end, it is make or break.  Past issues could be coming to a major climax. <br />
2009 can usher in new contenders.  You will be attracting very intense people.  Their powerful presence may move you deeply.  Be aware of those who come on too strong and stay away from anyone who poses violence.  If you have problems with a stalker, now is the time to address them!  Otherwise, look forward to some really passionate encounters.  Luck continues to be with you in the relationship sector but until early September the focus is on the past rather than the future.  Law, travel, education, and spirituality, play an important role in close encounters!  The 24th-28th bodes well for communication.<br />
There is a push/pull dynamic between sexuality and morals at this time.  You’ll be rethinking your values.<br />
Finances are another major area of interest.  Your personal budget vs earned income should be a major area of concern with special attention paid towards spending.  Joint endeavors are more favorable but partners need to watch their spending also.  Shared expenses could arise around plumbing, nautical, chemical, or spiritual concerns.  Wise investing in these areas could pay off.  However, be very careful signing contracts or documents until November 1st.<br />
In regards to  spirituality, you may have become enlightened over the past several years.  Perhaps you’re contemplating a new area of faith or an interest in metaphysics?   Let your intuition guide you and follow your gut instinct.  You could also be feeling more philanthropic towards humanitarian causes in foreign countries.<br />
Be spontaneous when it comes to travel. <br />
Legal affairs remain unpredictable and surprises are in store for a long time to come.  The focus is on previous or unresolved issues until December.<br />
Communication, especially with in-laws, relatives, neighbors, or on-line acquaintances, can be delayed or postponed.  Things are moving slowly in this sector.  The same is true for transportation concerns.  If purchasing a new vehicle, buy a Saturn!  Tried and true, erring on the side of caution, thinking before you speak, and planning for long term rewards is favored until 2010.  This month things pick up but could get challenging the 6th-13th.  You’ll get a boost the 24th-28th.  Drive extra cautiously now and don’t put your foot in your mouth!  Watch the drama!!! The best time to get your point across is the 10th-26th.<br />
Reoccurring health crisis’ needs extreme attention now until mid September.  Areas of concern can be the groin area, the reproductive system, or the hips, thighs, and/or liver.<br />
X-rays may be needed to determine the root cause of symptoms.  Don’t neglect yourself.<br />

This month ushers in the Summer Solstice, 2 days after the full moon in Sagittarius.   The focus will be on our families and our country and the world’s view of us.  Look forward to a future article on this subject.<br />
I have also posted a separate blog on the Mercury Retrograde this month. <br />
Happy Summer!!</p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
Happy birthday to the most multifaceted sign of the zodiac!! Your brilliant mind usually has you comfortably scattered in many directions. <br />
2008 should see you calming down after a 2 year period of flux and a 13 year cycle of major transformation around relationships ~ both personal and professional!  You could have attracted some really intense, perhaps even violent people.  Power struggles may have been an issue.<br />
Reminders of all that change can creep back up on you until early November.  You must finish up the past before proceeding with your future.  This is very evident in June while your ruling planet Mercury and several others are retrograde.<br />
As you head into December and the new year, you can expect some relief around partnerships and the type of people you’re attracting.  Passion increases and new concerns may arise around joint finances.  You continue to prosper here, this month, but careful scrutiny is still required.  Pay attention to spending. <br />
You are lucky where career matters are concerned the 1st-7th but do-overs may be necessary.  Your desire for freedom and independence requires you to take stock of prevous endeavors.   Change is immanent but try to figure out which direction you want to go.  Be wary of conflicts with money the 12th-22nd.<br />
Destiny suggests relearning some things or a desire to return to school.  It’s preferable to patronize an institution rather than doing your classes on line. <br />
Long distance travel, spiritual concerns, and legal or publishing documents may need reviewing.  Concentration can be lacking now.<br />
Hard work and discipline are highlighted around the home, family and real estate.  It would benefit you to take on a long term project whether it’s remodeling your home or yourself!  Rewards come only if you earn them.<br />
Communication, transportation, neighbors and relatives could all pose problems for you ~ not just this month but over the next year and a half.  Be cautious with the written and spoken word, drive carefully and check yourself before any verbal confrontation. Aggravation is really possible the 12th-24th.<br />
Your health may need review with certain ailments hard to diagnose.  Pay attention to the kidneys, pelvis and reproductive organs.<br />
June starts off with the spotlight on you ~ Happy, happy, joy, joy!! Between the 18th-20th you should feel the energy shift towards your personal finances and nurturing others.  A boost in income is also indicated!!<br />
Breath easier this year, Gemini.  The universe shouldn’t throw you anything you haven’t  already handled!!</p>

Old issues with friends and children may occur, creating conflict, and romance can be challenging, especially the 12th -24th.  Past loves or secret trysts could interfere with your career which needs reorganizing.  Lucky is with you 1st-7th. <br />
Midmonth recalls attention to travel, legal and spiritual affairs which aren’t quite resolved.<br />
Discipline and exercise benefit long term health.</p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
This month focuses on revisiting finances and values. <br />
Communication is highlighted, especially with relatives and neighbors, after the 20th.     Autos should run smoother too.  Look for a local or on-line romance and take it slow!<br />
Your family and real estate endeavors can be quite challenging, most notably the 12th-24th.  Conflicts  around career Vs home are probable.   You’re fortunate in reestablishing your goals the 1st-7th but inner concerns may trouble you on the afore mentioned dates.<br />

Patience with children pays off in the long run.</p>
<p>CANCER<br />
You’re imagination is working overtime and you could be driving yourself crazy going over   scenarios!  Expect more clarity and optimism after the 19th.<br />
Personal finances are definitely an area of concern perhaps because of neglect? <br />
The 12th-24th calls attention to reviewing shared income and the partners spending.    Previous conflicts regarding relationships and in-laws, legal, travel, or spiritual endeavors may also arise &#8230;. But you’ll have some luck here the 1st-7th.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TAURUS<br />
Happy Birthday to the most grounded, devoted and sensual sign of the zodiac.   You love creature comforts, enjoy life’s many pleasures, and will work hard for financial security.  Quality over quantity best describes you.  Not the speediest sign, you like to do things tried and true.  The trick is not to get too comfortable or too complacent.  Your biggest obstacle in life is getting ‘stuck’.   You can stay too long in jobs, relationships and other endeavors that have outlasted their goodness.<br />
The Universe is bringing you change this year.  Actually, you started a two year cycle of diversity back in November.  Don’t fight the forces!  It’s time to modify!  Let go of things in your life that are no longer working.  The more you resist, the more you will feel challenged.   It’s time to open new doors.<br />
Areas of alteration can include relationships (make or break), the residence ~ most notably moving, and your career.  If everything is to your liking I suggest you rearrange the furniture or do something different even on a small scale!<br />
Friendships, groups, and associations all remain unpredictable but new chance encounters can bring you insight and excitement.  Pleasant surprises are in store all month, especially where foreign contacts are concerned!  After the 9th you may find the need to reconnect with a spiritual or higher learning organization as you seek new truths in this time of uncertainty.  Don’t lend friends money, especially the 20th-31st!<br />
Your own finances require revision this month and may get a boost after the 24th.  While destiny has been shining on your career and helping you to manifest goals, after the 26th you’ll want to pay very close attention to your income.  Cross your T’s and dot your I’s very carefully.  Read the fine print. Take care with all real estate transactions.<br />
If you’ve compromised your impeccable morals or values you may be vulnerable to a public scandal.  Make sure to play by the rules!<br />
Powerful yet subtle shifts are occurring around legal, travel, foreign and education endeavors which may need revision after the 9th.<br />
Karmic influences have been visiting your home and family life.  Things can really get nasty after the 9th.  Watch out for accidents or arguments.  Use this surplus of aggression to be productive around the house.  Procrastination has come to an end.<br />
On a positive note, your lover, children and/or pets may finally get moving in the right direction.  Hard work and discipline are paying off for them.  Creative blocks are lifted and their health should improve.<br />
This is not the year to be stubborn or unyielding.  Embrace this opportunity to start a new chapter in your life!  This month is all about you ~ enjoy what it has to offer!!</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
This month focus is on making and spending money!  Big energy shifts are starting around your career.  Hard work pays off but don’t jeopardize your health.  Reevaluate recent successes after the 9th and you may be pleasantly surprised by secret talents.  Luck comes from behind the scenes.<br />
Communication and transportation issues need going over.  After the 26th be especially careful what you say to friends.  Their perception may be different than yours.  Also watch out for someone too good to be true in your own neighborhood.  Hidden enemies may suddenly reveal themselves between the 20th-31st.<br />
Romance heats up after the 9th but watch out for lovers quarrels.  Kids may be argumentative and pets can get aggressive.   Karma surrounds these areas so try to deal with problems creatively rather than butt heads.</p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
This month has your mind going in a million directions.  Better to go over previous affairs than start new ones.  After the 26th things can get cloudy in regards to legal, travel, publishing, educational or spiritual affairs.  Get a second opinion.<br />
Luck is with you in career but unexpected demands can rattle you the 20th-31st.  After the 9th joint finances need going over and communication can get heated.  Watch for arguments with neighbors or family members.  Too much mental aggression can lead to accidents while driving.<br />
Fortune is gained from working in the background.  Then the spotlight shines on you!<br />
Secret love affairs are a possibility.  Partners are much more passionate, yet there’s a sobering, stead fast quality to romance right now.  Start building a future together.</p>
<p>CANCER<br />
This month highlights friendships and group endeavors.  Don’t let gossip get the best of you!  Sharing secrets can create anxiety and unexpected legal, travel or spiritual upsets the 20th-31st.  A partner can bail you out but may tell you “I told you so” for awhile.  Significant others are rebuilding their own faith and may decide to return to school.<br />
Behind the scenes confusion is possible after the 26th in regards to joint affairs which will need reviewing.  Your own finances are an area of concern.  After the 9th an increase in spending will inspire you to work harder and earn more.<br />
Pay attention to your dreams and secret correspondence.   Move forward in all communication endeavors even if you have to move slowly.  Vehicles should be running better now.</p>
<p>LEO<br />
Look out!  You’re on a roll after the 9th.  Be careful you don’t get in your own way.  Too much passion can lead to accidents and arguments so use your energy wisely!<br />
Your career is highlighted.  Unexpected financial gains abound although some work endeavors need going over after the 9th. <br />
Expect to hear from an old friend or someone from your past.  But be alert after the 26th for a partnership offer that seems too good to be true.  Someone may try to pull the wool over your eyes where finances are concerned the 20th-31st.   It’s a better time to build wealth for yourself and focus on long term goals.  Money obstacles are lifted.  Amen!</p>
<p>VIRGO<br />
Yes!  Finally things start moving forward ~ slowly but surely!<br />
Long distance, legal, educational, publishing and spiritual affairs are highlighted.  <br />
Career endeavors need reviewing, especially after the 26th when someone at work may try and deceive you.  Stay on track with your goals and don’t lose focus.  Unexpected partnership problems can arise the 20th-31st.  Stress behind the scenes can create anxiety for you after the 9th. Channel mental energies appropriately.<br />
Relationships continue to excite and astound you.  After the 9th you may want to discuss your long term objectives.  Or an old lover could suddenly appear!<br />
Children may need help reviewing their lessons.</p>
<p>LIBRA<br />
The spot light is on all joint affairs.  Expect a positive cash flow but watch shared spending.  All legal, publishing and educational concerns need review.  Be especially alert, the 20th-31st  where unexpected problems can arise at work.  After the 26th, avoid speculative endeavors altogether.<br />
Friends can get frisky or feisty after the 9th.  At the same time real estate and family matters will need to be readdressed.  <br />
Deep personal changes are taking place within you.  A mental review of the past or therapy can help with secret issues.  You may receive unexpected help from your work place.<br />
Alternative healing is favored.<br />
Be wary of deception in romance after the 26th.  An old lover could reappear but take off the rose colored glasses.</p>
<p>SCORPIO<br />
All forms of partnerships are highlighted this month and you should encounter pleasant people.  Romance remains exciting and spontaneous even if unpredictable.  You’re likely to reconnect with someone on line or in your own neighborhood after the 9th ~ expect the unexpected!  Fated friendships could happen the same way.<br />
Joint finances need careful revision, especially where children are concerned the 20th-31st, and around home and family matters  following the 26th. <br />
Career drama heats up after the 9th.  Be careful how you manifest your ambition so you don’t stir up controversy or jealousy.</p>
<p>SAGITTARIUS<br />
Work and health flow smoothly this month.  You could probably ask for a raise!  It’s time to move forward with career goals and pay careful attention to your income.  A reversal of fortune is possible after the 9th.  Shared financial problems subside but trouble can arise around legal, travel, and educational affairs.  You may challenge your own faith. <br />
A family member could come to your aid unexpectedly although home affairs remain unpredictable. <br />
Communication with partners revolves around old issues and things can get upsetting for you the 20th-31st.  Don’t fall for a ‘hustle’ after the 26th especially where relatives are concerned.<br />
Inner unrest can prompt retail therapy! Plan to review your budget. </p>
<p>CAPRICORN<br />
Romance, children and creativity are highlighted this month. <br />
You’re still in a major self growth cycle right now that focuses on relatives and chance encounters in your neighborhood.  Communication is key!   Use new found insights to guide you.  After the 9th you’ll be focusing more on retrospection.<br />
Work projects need to be reviewed and maybe redone.  Pay very close attention to details.<br />
Watch how you communicate with others and how you receive information, especially between the 20th-31st and after the 26th, when there could be major confusion, deception, or misrepresentation around your financial affairs.  Joint money concerns get a boost after the 9th but there could also be arguments.  Rely on your own intuition.<br />
Any legal, spiritual, travel, or educational blocks are now lifted but you’ll have to proceed cautiously.  Be alert while driving.</p>
<p>AQUARIUS<br />
Your home and family are a source of comfort now, although children, pets, or lovers may bring up old issues that need going over.  Things can get tense over money the 20th-31st.  Make sure your intentions are clear after the 26th when things can get really confusing.<br />
Partners may get aggressive after the 9th.  They are dealing with a lot of karma right now.  You could also be attracting a lot of strong willed people.<br />
Spring cleansing can yield some unexpected fortunes or spiritual rewards that take you back to the past after the 9th.  Pay attention to dreams also.<br />
Joint endeavors finally move forward but require discipline and deliberation.</p>
<p>PISCES<br />
Communication and local travel is favored this month.  You could find romance in your own back yard or on-line!  Relatives may also be a source of pleasure but your immediate family may need to rehash old affairs.  Real estate endeavors require careful attention.<br />
Proceed with caution around the home the 20th-31st and after the 26th when your own judgment will be cloudy.<br />
Friends continue to enlighten and inspire you but in old ways after the 9th rather than new.<br />
Partnerships are more focused now.  It’s a good time to establish long term goals.<br />
Work affairs heat up.  Your aggressive tactics can stir up coworkers.  Spend time exercising to work off frustrations.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mercury is RETROGRADE from January 28th until February 18th.  It&#8217;s effects can be felt for up to 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after in what I call the “shadow” period.  If you’re a Virgo or Gemini, ruled by Mercury, this may be an exceptionally challenging time.<br />
There are also two Eclipses this month.  A Solar Eclipse on February 6th (New Moon) begins a 1 1/2 year cycle in Aquarius/Leo ushering in major change for those signs and Taurus’s and Scorpios.  A Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) on the 20th will be the last in the Virgo/Pisces cycle.  Those 2 signs and Sagittarians and Geminis can finally complete their major change cycle within the next few months.  Because Eclipse cycles and their effects last for months, I did not stress the energy on the specific days but instead tried to highlight what area of life each sign will be experiencing the most change.<br />
For more information on Mercury retrograde and Eclipses, please see RETROGRADE PLANETS and ECLIPSES on my website <a href="http://zodiacbuzz.com/">http://zodiacbuzz.com</a>.  If you have any trouble with this site, please let me know.</p>
<p>Peace and Prosperity, Love and Light,<br />
                                                                   Kerry<br />
AQUARIUS</p>
<p>Happy Birthday to the sign that is progressive, enlightened, innovative and inspired!  While some Aquarians are the classic ‘free spirits’, others are the complete opposite, sharing more in common with their neighbor Capricorn.  Whether you’re unconventional or more traditional you all share an above average intelligence and love to be in what I call your “comfort zone”.  Typically all Aquarians have a difficult time with change.  You are one of the 4 fixed signs ~ Leo, Taurus and Scorpio being the others.  These signs like to be in total control and can be extremely stubborn.  The danger is not to get stuck in your own energy ~ staying too long in relationships, and out grown careers etc. <br />
The afore mentioned Eclipse cycle has been tickling you since about November.  It is time to shake things up a little or a LOT!  If you don’t take it upon yourself to diversify, the Universe will do it for you.  It will be a lot more pleasant for you to make (and control) the change yourself than to have it done to you, even though you’re the one sign most connected to the cosmos!  Expect to move or alter your residence in the next year and a half.  In addition you can expect major changes around relationships ~ it’s make or break time! <br />
Destiny is working in your favor.  This cycle affords you the opportunity to follow your dreams and goals and make them into reality.  As you grow and expand, you may attract people who seek your guidance.  Relationships can become difficult as others are working out their karma while you are excelling.  As you raise your own vibration you will raise the vibration of those around you but only if they are open to it. You can not change people who don’t want to change themselves. Then we get back to the issue ofletting go &#8230;&#8230;<br />
Your psyche and unconscious are beginning a major purging.  Deep secrets are being dredged up over the next 15 years and your subconscious may feel over powered.  Be aware of strong hidden enemies and self destructive tendencies.  It’s an excellent time to invest in psycho therapy or a past life regression.  You’ll be feeling so intense that your physical health can be impacted so take care of YOU!<br />
For years, you or a male close to you, may have experienced physical or mental health issues.  You have also dealt with deception or self delusion, disappointment or just plain dissolving of something important.  While this influence is still in affect for a few more years, it’s also an opportunity to reach your highest spiritual potential.  Your innate intuition is taking on a more sensitive side.  Your perception may not be so clear but your sensitivity is high so pay attention to how you FEEL.  It’s also a good time to abstain from alcohol and drugs, including prescriptions.  You’re very prone to addiction now as a form of escapism. <br />
This is an excellent year to explore mind travel, metaphysics, and tap into your higher conscious!  After the 18th, communication and mental clarity will seem clearer and you’ll be feeling very optimistic.<br />
The focus shifts to finances at this time which continue to remain unpredictable.  Use your insight and innovation when making purchases.  It’s not a good time for investments until after July.  Partners could be suffering financially at this time resulting in a lack of passion.  Take the next 6 months to go over joint affairs.  <br />
Romance, children and creativity are finally regenerated now making you want to go out and play!</p>
<p>The best way to handle 2008 is to be open minded which is Aquarius specialty!!!!!!!</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
Much activity focuses on friendships, finances, hopes and wishes.  It’s an excellent time to readdress old issues or reconnect with past ties.  You are destined to meet really spiritual people but be wary of deception.   You’re lucky here after the 18th but stay away from speculative endeavors. <br />
At the same time your energy shifts to the subconscious.  Your dreams may bring real mental clarity or create anxiety.  You’re very enlightened now.<br />
There will be issues with Romance ~ lots of karma here, creativity, and children who may be experiencing growing pains.  Don’t let stress cause work or health issues.   Redesign your daily routine.  Finish old projects.<br />
Expect major transformation in your career which starts this month on a really positive note and big changes around finances!<br />
You’re finally motivated to continue that neighborhood crusade, finish up that writing project, and get things off your chest  ~ just don’t ruffle relatives feathers!  Align your energy with your goals the 20th-27th!</p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
Get ready for change!  You’re place in the world, usually defined by your career, is highlighted now.  While plans need to be readdressed the first half of Feb, you are  fortunate here the second half.  Destiny guiding you into the spot light can create issues with your private self.  This can affect your relationships and who you attract. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CAPRICORN<br />
You are used to standing strong and silent.  However, big planetary shifts are occurring in your sign!<br />
Your usually conservative demeanor got a jovial boost over the holidays with luck and abundance coming easily to you!  Caps are never one to shy away from hard earned money so you may feel a little out of sorts accepting things you didn’t have to work so hard for!  Enjoy.  This expansive cycle is here for a year bringing not just general increases but also expansion of the mind, a renewed interest in travel, and perhaps new spiritual beliefs.  This sector is going under a lot of scrutiny until early September.  It’s an excellent year to go back to school or find a new church or spiritual group.  This is really your time to shine so long as you don’t give in to excess.<br />
At the end of January, life as you know it will start to change forever!   You may already be feeling this on the subtlest of levels and your personal transformation will take place over many years.  People, places, things, and thought patterns that no longer suit your well being will gradually be replaced over a long period of time.  Learn to let go and surrender to the Universe knowing it has your best interests in mind.  You are no longer steering your own course but have become a passenger in the seat of life.  Hang on tight for one wild ride!<br />
Destiny is also taking over your personal finances in a very positive way guiding your existence to where you’re meant to be.  How you earn your income and deal with your recourses will have to be in tune with your values now.  Expect positive changes over the next 18 months as you align your goals with your dreams. <br />
Shared recourses, partnership income, inheritances, and investments, will be coming under scrutiny, too, with karmic implications.  Better to go it alone financially and not rely on others help.<br />
Work or health irritations could reoccur this month.  It’s a good time to refocus energies.<br />
Communication is still erratic and will continue to offer unexpected surprises.  Be prepared for relatives and neighbors to catch you off guard.  Think before you speak as   your mind is moving faster than your tongue!  You’re also riding the crest of a technological wave which can help you advance your financial status and boost your personal charisma.  Stay alert!  And drive safely.<br />
You will be feeling especially enlightened the 4th-7th although upsets could occur behind the scenes with in-laws, legal matters or travel arrangements.  The 6th-8th is positive for finances as is the 18th-21st but beware of hidden jealousy the latter days.  Unexpected recourses could come to light through dreams or meditation the 15th-23rd.  Your mind is a powerful tool!  Don’t fall prey to fantasy or self delusion with money the 20th-23rd. <br />
Passion peaks for you like never before the 23rd-25th.   Be somewhere where you can be noticed.  (You are more comfortable in the spot light this year.)  The 29th-31st is absolute bliss!  Careful not to over indulge.</p>
<p>ARIES<br />
Unexpected insight from behind the scenes could surprise you the 4th-7th in your career.  At the same time you could be dealing with legal wrangling or long distance delays.  The 15th-23rd is the best time to work hard and realign your goals, especially if you take the time to educate yourself in the field you most desire.  The 6th-8th is an opportunity to jot down your hopes and wishes for 2008.  You can expect to manifest some of these as early as the 18th-21st  so long as you do your home work.  Expect career highs the 23rd-25th and the 29th-31st!!!<br />
Every day details and domestic concerns need to be reexamined as do work and health issues.<br />
Don’t confuse fantasy with reality the 20th-23rd.</p>
<p>TAURUS<br />
Long distance friendships thrive the 4th-7th but romance can suffer at the same time.  Your best time for long distance romance is the 15th-23rd although some things might require ‘going over’. <br />
The 6th-8th bodes well for career objectives as does the 18th-21st but with  possible legal/financial issues to work out.  The 15th-17th is also good for career gains where joint resources are concerned.  Be careful when signing important documents the 20th-23rd as you won’t be thinking clearly.  Personal finances need retooling.<br />
Legal, spiritual, travel and educational endeavors all get a huge boost the 23rd-25th and the 29th-31st!</p>
<p>GEMINI<br />
Unexpected financial gains in career the 4th-7th, come from joint endeavors or investors.  However, partnership demands could render your home life rocky at the same time.  There is much that needs to be redone in the domestic/family sector.  There is lots to reconsider on a personal note too.<br />
Long distance, spiritual, legal and educational concerns get a boost the 6th-8th and 18th-21st although this could war with your needs vs your significant others.  The 15th-23rd is positive over all for combined recourses and domestic concerns relating to the above.<br />
Make sure to cross your T’s and dot your I’s, as well reading the fine print the 20th-23rd.<br />
Passion soars the 23rd-25th and romance and joint finances are fantastic the 29th-31st!</p>
<p>CANCER<br />
Physical irritations and irritability that have been plaguing you for awhile finally recess into your subconscious, possibly creating anxiety.  Take this time to reassess your fears. <br />
The 4th-7th is great for long distance partnerships or legal affairs.  At the same time work problems could arise around communication issues.  This sector requires a lot of attention now.  Be careful what you say and how you say it.  Difficulties with relatives, neighbors and transportation could also arise.  Readdressing things can benefit relationships the 15th-23rd and you can expect much pleasure and passion the 23rd-25th and 29th-31st.<br />
All joint endeavors from money to sex, are highlighted the 6th-8th, the 15th-17th, and 18th-21st.  However, the latter days could present irritations with work and health.  Be careful of what is offered in this area from the 20th-23rd.</p>
<p>LEO<br />
Unexpected bonuses are possible at work the 4th-7th but it’s a poor time for speculative endeavors.<br />
Destiny is working for your relationship sector now with your most positive days the 6th-8th and the 18th-21st.  The latter days may create jealousy with a co-worker or especially a friend as issues with friends need to be readdressed at this time.  Don’t be deceived or deceptive with partners the 20th-23rd.<br />
Personal finances also require special attention.  Hard work pays off the 15th-23rd with possibly a little office romance too.  Things are extra hot at work or the gym the 23rd-25th and you’re unbelievably lucky the 29th-31st.</p>
<p>VIRGO<br />
Romance and relationships are exciting and fun the 4th-7th but you have to get out there to meet people!  Life continues to be hard work but now the emphasis is on self improvement.  How you redefine yourself can lead to big romantic rewards the 15th-23rd.  Expect extreme passion the 23rd -25th and much love the 29th-31st.<br />
Your work and home life are pleasant the 15th-17th.  The 6th-8th and 18th-21st are ideal for work and health although home vs career problems could arise.  Make sure you’re seeing things clearly the 20th-23rd. <br />
Career goals need to be readdressed to avoid major problems.</p>
<p>LIBRA<br />
Unexpected developments in your daily routine inspire you the 4th-7th.  However, negative communications are also a possibility, most likely from neighbors or relatives, who turn out to be hidden enemies. <br />
Anxiety and general malaise all require contemplation.   Meditating in private can reap major spiritual rewards the 15th-23rd.   Home is where the heart is now with major change and renovation!  The 23rd-25th is especially intense and the 29th-31st is just divine!<br />
Romance and destiny go hand in hand now so look to the 6th-8th, the 15th-17th and the 18th-21st for positive developments.  Long distance liaisons, along with educational endeavors can meet with conflicts on those latter dates.  Be wary of ‘sweet nothings’ whispered the 20th-23rd.<br />
It’s time to go over legal, foreign and educational endeavors.</p>
<p>SCORPIO<br />
The 4th-7th provides an opportunity for internet romance or an unexpected encounter close to home!  But watch out for money hungry friends or those who challenge your values.<br />
All acquaintances are coming under close scrutiny now and some may need to be let go of.<br />
Readdressing old issues could actually lead to better communication the 15th-23rd. <br />
Destiny is working favorably for family and real estate endeavors.  Expect ideal conditions the 6th-8th, the 15th-17th and the 18th-21st.  Those last dates could pose issues with financial concerns.  Your joint affairs need going over this month.<br />
Your creativity knows no bounds the 20th-23rd but don’t tackle anything important. <br />
Communication takes on a very loving intensity with close connections the 23rd-25th and is absolutely blissful the 29th-31st. </p>
<p>SAGITTARIUS<br />
It’s all about letting go now.  A big weight gets lifted off your shoulders at the end of the month.  Some early spring cleaning could yield a pleasant financial surprise the 4th-7th.  At the same time work could interfere with your social life.  Try to keep your priorities straight where career is concerned and take time to rework anything that was left up in the air or unfinished.   You could be generously rewarded 15th-25th, and the 29th-31st!!<br />
Destiny benefits all learning and communication endeavors now.  Look to the 6th-8th, the 15th-17th and the 18th-21st.  But those latter days could pose issues with your needs versus others.  It’s a great time to review all partnership concerns. <br />
Fantasy could blur with reality the 20th-23rd so be careful what promises you make!</p>
<p>AQUARIUS<br />
Big changes are going on behind the scenes or in your subconscious.  It’s an awesome time to start a dream diary!  Pay close attention to your intuition from here on out, especially the 4th-7th when financial highs and lows are possible.  The 15th-23rd is much more rewarding!  Joint finances and shared endeavors need reworking.<br />
You’ll have more clarity after the 8th and 20th.  Destiny is working in your favor now.  Positive days are the 6th-8th, the 15th-17th, and the 18th -21st.  Those last days can also pose friends/lovers dynamic.  You may be going over issues with a lover or a child this month.  It’s not a good time for risk taking.<br />
You’ll be fantasizing the 20th-23rd.  Love, romance and passion play out in secret the 23rd-25th and the 29th-31st.</p>
<p>PISCES<br />
Continue to expect the unexpected.  The 4th-7th is positive for surprises involving friends, but less attractive for career and partnership endeavors.  Readdressing relationship concerns could yield big rewards in your hopes and wishes sector the 15th-25th and the 29th-31st.<br />
Your spiritual world is highlighted now and it’s an excellent time to study metaphysics or anything in the astral realm.  Pay attention to dreams, especially the 6th-8th, the 15th-17th, and the 18th-23rd!<br />
The 18th-21st can also present conflict between career versus home and family life.  Household projects and family affairs need a lot of redoing now while work is rather rosy through the 24th.<br />
Enjoy!</p>
