Spring fever hits early with Venus sextile Jupiter tempting us to new friends, fun, and flirtation. Then she aspects Mars, eager to realize the dreams inspired by Jupiter. Venus and Mars will aspect Saturn, bringing everything back down to earth. Get grounded with fresh new perspectives and you're ahead of the game!
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Too many social temptations make it harder to get things done, but you could organize your friends in a productive way, especially in a charitable service. That could introduce you to your next mate, or cement an existing partnership.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Your initiative and innovations are getting good notice. Opportunities and responsibilities are about to grow. Share the credit along with the work and you'll get lots of support from behind the scenes.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Friendly encouragement is welcome, but remember that's what friends are for. When you parlay their faith into actual constructive efforts you'll run into new obstacles. Accept those creative challenges and justify the regard of your admirers.
CANCER (June 21- July 22): Your public reputation and career advances will enhance your opportunities for private fun and games. That could feed a cycle of benefits on both sides, but all that could be a distraction from necessary work at home.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Being very accommodating to your partner, especially in bed, will help you reach new understandings in your relationship. You may then hit a wall, but that was always there. It will give you a better understanding of how to negotiate limits.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Getting too clever at work can confuse your colleagues. Listen at least twice as much as you talk. Taking the lead, you'll just go in circles. Stick to what everyone knows you're good at and trust others on your team.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Indulge those playful urges, even your wicked streak. Just remember your partner is with you against the rest of the world. If single, any prospective partner will be all the more eager to be on your side.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Creativity, and perhaps even a dash of perversity, is the key to getting through any task, no matter how onerous. If you can hold on to that attitude you can clear away a lot of household drudgery.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Your efforts to be brilliant and playful could prove more confusing than amusing to the folks at home. Your friends kind of get it, but the act still needs a bit more work. It's OK; they all still love you.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): To get ahead more effectively you have to appreciate where you came from. Siblings, even if they seem angry or confused, have important lessons for you. Make a gratitude list.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Try a new look based on your most underappreciated asset, physical or otherwise. That will start some fun discussions and then some arguments, but that's the point! You're used to stretching other people's brains, now push your own to new limits.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Worries? Doubts? Not sure where you're going? Never forget to meditate! Getting into frenzy and going off half-cocked carries a huge price. Calm that overheated brain and answers to your problems will come into focus.
