Q Scopes
Aspects between Sun, Venus, and Pluto warn that efforts to charm and unite may be manipulative. Mars aligning with Saturn in Libra challenges us to examine the hard work and truth of relationships.
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Try to be gentle with your partner. Remember you're on the same team. If resentments come up, look at your own underlying worries. A playful slap at authority will be taken much harder than it was intended.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Sweetness and charm can be powerful and revolutionary; infiltration and subversion are more effective than a frontal attack. Seduce people to your side. Build your network and get in the back door. Be ready to improvise. With time and patience you can succeed.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Setting limits is necessary, but will probably anger some people. A conciliatory tone may be necessary, but don't let that open the door to compromise. You can be firm and gentle, although it will take some work and creativity.
CANCER (June 21- July 22): New financial ventures can prove very successful, but don't trust anything that doesn't promise lot of hard work. Nothing will come easily. Your mate's criticism is more trustworthy than his or her praise. Either way, appreciate that your baby means well.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Fumbling, confused seductions can work out well. Keep your sense of humor and don't get thrown off your game. At work maintain some humility and listen more than you speak so you can make big changes. Ego and assertion can wreck it all.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): You're probably worrying too much about your job. Ignore rumors and be as productive as you can. Sexual experimentation can work off the tension, but with new techniques come new safety concerns. Be careful!
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Consolidating your authority can mean shifting alliances. Try to make new friends without alienating older ones. The less you like advice from your partner, the more you should listen to it. You may not have to agree; just listen and consider it!
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Worrying too much about the competition will just undermine your work and your mental health. Simply do your best and take enough time to rest so that you can do your best. Stay focused and your dedication will earn you praise.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Rather than speaking out on issues that matter to you, try researching them. Resist social lures. Take time out to focus on yourself, to meditate. In your earliest memories, what do you remember your parents wanting of you? How does that influence you now?
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Pressure to succeed can be overwhelming. Remember to relax; think ahead. Does sex really get you more in balance or is it a distraction that undermines your efforts? Some time off might help. Your partner should understand. Breathe. Think. Prioritize.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Everyone wants an argument so you should be in heaven, but where is your feistiness coming from – an eagerness to play, or some deep-seated worries? Remember you have nothing to prove, and there's a time and a place for everything.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Sexual frustration could push you to ask yourself hard questions about your habits and your priorities. Don't blame others. Assess your needs and priorities and look at changes, perhaps big ones, you need to make.
