The Sun aligned with Saturn in Virgo makes us more serious and critical. Venus in Leo makes it hard to keep ego out of the way, while aspects from Uranus and Neptune can distort our sense of proportion. Modesty and meditation help.
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Work isn't getting any easier, but bringing fun and creativity into your approach make it more productive and satisfying. Worries and doubts about your efforts can offer clues to making your work easier and more purposeful.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Hosting a get together with some creative friends and some of the more "important" people in your life could help your career. That could be an explosive mix, but if you pick the right folks it will improve your image.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Stress between demands at home and at work is now at a breaking point. Good! This can be the breaking point that pushes you to fix it. Talk it out with a good friend and find new solutions.
CANCER (June 21- July 22): Take a hard, pragmatic look at philosophical and sexual questions that have been on your mind lately. Be ready to challenge long-held assumptions. Changing your mind can be a sign of growth!
LEO (July 23 – August 22): While there are more serious foundations to a solid relationship, a little erotic variety would be nice, too. Honesty is most important. Whether or not your playful curiosity gets full rein, at least discuss your desires.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Meditate on what you love about your partner and how he or she can support you. You may be stressing out too much on problems that could be easily resolved with some quiet time together and new approaches to communication.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): It seems you can't do enough for your friends. Of course, there's always more to be done, but as with the oxygen mask on an airplane, make sure to take good care of yourself first – if only to be of better help to them.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Your community and cultural background are important, but holding too tightly to them can blind you to the power they offer in a more universal vision. You can't reach the top of a tree while clinging to the roots.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Your imagination can easily get the better of your facts. If your narratives tend to fantasy, be clear about that! Keeping the nabobs entertained can be as good as keeping them informed, as long as everyone knows which is which.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Resist the urge to correct everyone. As long as you know what's right, does it really matter what other people say and think? Be sensitive to what's important for them. You can open a lot more flies with honey than with vinegar.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Looking hard and authoritative works for you, but if you can be sweet and gentle while looking tough, all the better! Being all things to all people only works if you can stay true to yourself.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Your trouble in relationships is largely about being unsure of yourself. Trying to please others is a lousy way to compensate. Exercise, or decorating your workspace, can help bring you back to yourself.
