I’ve always had great luck with Capricorns. Tauruses? Yawn. Geminis? Maybe, if you like all that talking. Leos? Self-absorbed drama queens. My romantic history is a constellation of personalities and capabilities and experiences, but there’s obviously something about my Virgo sensibilities that jibes with the patience that the average Capricorn bestows upon the act of tossing a girl’s salad. Or did you think I was talking about something else? We’re not interested in love matches here, people. This is all about that other kind of chemistry and which signs of the Zodiac are guaranteed to be a good time and which might be a great time.
Aries: The Minute Man
This fire sign is known for being a pretty straight shooter. Aries will have no compunction at all about sharing his or her raunchiest ideas about what to do in the sack. The problem with straight shooters, though, is that they always like to get right to the point. So count on an Aries to take charge and get you where you want to go—in a hurry.
Taurus: The Romancer
Where Aries is all lusty impulse, Taurus takes his or her time. Plan on being wined and dined, perhaps to the point of frustration. And once the Taurus has decided you’re the one for the job, prepare yourself for plenty of foreplay. If romance is your thing, Taurus is your sign.
Gemini: The Talker
The Gemini will bring all his or her intellect to bear upon getting bare. If you have simpler, quieter tastes, you might be a little shocked by Gemini’s saucy, seductive monologues. But if phone sex and dirty talking gets your motor humming, a Gemini is what you’re looking for. But be prepared to not get a word in edgewise.
Cancer: The Love Maker
Cancers are highly emotional signs, which means that sex is not merely a mechanical physical undertaking; rather it is expected to be a poetic act of beauty and love and all that good stuff. If you’re going to get naked with a Cancer, prepare yourself for an intense ride. And perhaps some post-coital crying.
Leo: The Narcissist
The passionate and adventurous nature of the Leo cannot be surpassed. There is no end to the imaginative ways a Leo will come up with for you to pleasure him or her. Those cats are born sexual dominants who ooze lusty confidence, and they’re unapologetic about it. While your romp with the lion will be memorable, for sure, best remember your satisfaction will be a secondary matter.
Virgo: The Closet Nympho
You might be surprised to learn that shy, demurring Virgo would ever be ready to rock without than fistfuls of condoms and spanking clean bed sheets. The reserved demeanor of the earthy virgins doesn’t hint at their inner lustiness. Once your Virgo knows and trusts you, watch out. You won’t get a moment’s peace.
Libra: The Connoisseur
The Libra is an artiste when it comes to knocking boots. They seek out a perfect harmony with their partner, luxuriating in every detail, and they go big on romantic accoutrements such as lingerie, massage oil, and soft music. You know, so it’s just like a bad porno—perhaps it even includes a fortuitously timed visit from the pizza guy.
Scorpio: The Leg-Humper
Fiery, licentious Scorpio is the horn dog of the zodiac. While their sexual prowess and magnetism can hardly be ignored, getting in bed with a scorpion can have its sting. While you will probably get the ride of your life, Scorpio’s love ’em and leave ’em approach to sex could leave less lusty signs cold.
Sagittarius: The Don Juan (or Juanita)
A master of the art of seduction, a Sagittarius is all about the hunt. They hone their powers of seduction, pouncing upon their objects of desire only after rendering them utterly helpless in the face of their sexual deftness.
Capricorn: The Slow Boat
Capricorn can come across as a lumbering kind of lover. Slow to make the first move, patient to the point of impertinence once the ball does get rolling, Caps may not wow with skill and energy in the sack, but they will steadily, diligently apply themselves to the all-you-can-eat buffet of their lover. Be patient with a Capricorn, and you will be well rewarded.
Give your pursuit for romance a rest as a more patient approach to partnerships is called for this week. Irrepressible Mars joins responsible Saturn in your 7th House of Others on Wednesday to bring relationship issues to a head. You can repair damage and earn trust by being truthful about your desires. It’s not easy to deal with a demanding person or a stressful situation, but this is a chance to demonstrate that you’re willing to work for love. The bold Leo New Moon on Friday gets your weekend off to a hot and spicy start.
This complex time is highlighted by your key planet Venus’ stressful connections with disruptive Uranus and evocative Pluto midweek. Don’t try to hold on to plans, people or values that have outlived their usefulness. If you’re willing to let go of the past and step out of your comfort zone, which admittedly isn’t easy for Taurus, Friday’s generous Leo New Moon will bring you even more pleasure in return. The transition may be a bit bumpy, but is a necessary part of your heart’s journey.
The analytical Virgo Moon travels through your 4th House of Roots this weekend, provoking a bit of practical self-examination and possible changes on the home front. Focusing on one critical issue can lead to a breakthrough that allows you to find a successful resolution. The more willing you are to look deeply within and start making adjustments the freer you will feel. Your confidence grows when you face your inner truth and start acting upon it.
An in-depth conversation can lead to surprisingly successful results this week. Friday’s expressive Leo New Moon falls in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem, which is ideal for rethinking your priorities when it comes to your time and energy. Clear thinking and straight talking are on the weekend’s agenda once the Moon shifts into rational Virgo and your 3rd House late Friday afternoon. Explaining yourself without letting your emotions take over can heal wounded alliances or open the way toward a new one. Don’t be shy about asking tough questions if you want to know the truth.
Friday’s New Moon in your courageous and demonstrative sign provides the drive, confidence and creativity to go after who and what you want. But you’re also guided by common sense and patience as energetic Mars and realistic Saturn align favorably with this Sun-Moon conjunction. A little bit of self-restraint is perfect for the weekend as the Moon enters practical Virgo where details count and remaining reasonable is a must.
Your wit is a powerful asset this weekend with the Moon’s presence in your sharp-minded sign and brainy Mercury aligning creatively with innovative Uranus. Bright ideas attract attention but be careful to avoid being so clever your comments go over people’s heads. Pay close attention to your audience so that you can make the connections you’re seeking unless you have so much going on in your mind that you secretly wish you could be alone.
Partying with pals is perfect this Friday with the enthusiastic Leo New Moon landing in your 11th House of Groups. Even if you feel like staying home, getting together with friends is bound to boost your spirits. This New Moon aligns favorably with assertive Mars and productive Saturn in your sign, which earns you rewards thanks to your sense of responsibility. This trust is a precious asset for building lasting relationships, so treat it with the respect it deserves.
Friday’s Leo New Moon illuminates your 10th House of Career, which can put you in a leadership position. Creativity and generosity are keys to making the most of your time in the spotlight. The rest of the weekend finds the Moon in practical Virgo and your group-oriented 11th House, which can attract constructive criticism from friends. But if you’re working for a cause in which you passionately believe in, you could make a special connection that will reward you on a personal and professional level.
Your challenge this weekend is to figure out how to take care of all the tasks on your plate and still have some time left over for fun. One way to do this is to start working in advance instead of leaving things until the last minute. Demonstrating how organized you can be may not sound especially enticing, but planning ahead can enhance your reputation and sends a clear message that you are someone who can be trusted.
Escaping from your usual environment puts some extra spice in your personal life this weekend. The earthy Virgo Moon will be in your 9th House of Faraway Places on Saturday and Sunday, which gets your blood pumping when you hit the road. Combining business with pleasure is recommended, but express opinions graciously since minor debates might get out of hand if you’re not careful. Think of life as an adventure and enjoy the ride.
Friday’s audacious Leo New Moon falls in your 7th House of Relationships, which is bound to heat up your personal life. An individual could come on so strong that it turns you off. Sure, you enjoy appreciation and attention but pushy people tend to make you uncomfortable because you like to feel independent. Instead, why not take the lead by making your own bold and exciting plans for your current squeeze or by openly sharing your feelings with someone you want to know better.
There are some details to be worked out with your present partner this weekend. The analytical Virgo Moon is in your 7th House of Relationships where untangling knots is a key to happiness. If you’re single and looking, be discriminating about your connections. Don’t waste time on petty and critical people who are more into putting you down than building you up. Waiting for the right person who will cherish your heart is the first step to romantic success.
It’s challenging to know how much to reveal when talking about a current problem. You might believe that you have a concrete plan that will work, but you are likely to misjudge the size of the task. Unfortunately, you don’t have sufficient time to go back to the drawing board. You must simply engage the issue in real time without certainty and do the best you can. The more you take care of today, the easier it will be tomorrow.
You might have thought that minimal effort would be enough to accomplish your goals today, but it’s beginning to dawn on you that it’s going to take a lot more work. Fortunately, you’re not easily discouraged and anyway, being hard on yourself is counterproductive. If unexpected difficulties slow you down now, keep applying steady pressure for the best possible results.
It doesn’t matter how hard you’re pushing yourself now or how fast you are already going, since you’re dependent on circumstances outside of your control. The smartest strategy is to consciously slow down before someone else does it for you. It may be frustrating trying to overcome the current resistances head on. Instead, relax and let the events dictate the speed at which you move. Take it easy and enjoy the journey rather than focusing on your destination.
A complete shift of plans might be somewhat upsetting, even if it’s necessary. Remember that your ideas may be totally valid; you just need to take something into account that wasn’t apparent when you first made your plans. Don’t look at the difficulties you face as a failure. This is merely a test to see if you are listening to the feedback the universe is giving you.
Your determination continues to create progress in your life, but it’s useful to stop long enough to take stock in what you have already accomplished. Make time to analyze what you truly want and then revise your plans so they reflect your desires. Don’t worry if satisfaction seems just out of reach now. Do what you must while believing that the good times will return.
You are becoming increasingly focused on your goals, but the Moon in your sign stirs dissatisfaction with your current situation. Before initiating any major changes in your life, make a list of what you have already done and what is left to do. Finish up as much as you can, even if your work isn’t quite up to your exacting standards. You’ll feel much better about what’s going on now as you look forward to something special in your future.
Your desire to keep everyone happy may be challenged today, especially if you believe that you can change someone else’s feelings. Ironically, the more you push for peace, the more you contribute to the tension. An awkward interaction has all the makings of a losing battle. Nevertheless, exercising patience and letting go of control can allow for an equitable solution.
You may feel uneasy about a topic you don’t really want to discuss now, even though your inner voice encourages you to speak up. Nevertheless, you might still try to avoid a subject that could complicate a close relationship. Fortunately, you should be able to push past your resistance because you know that temporarily making a situation worse can actually transform it to ultimately bring you happiness. A calculated risk could clear the air of tension that’s been lingering around for too long.
Although your life appears to be running smoothly, you could find yourself working through an unexpected crisis with a close friend or co-worker today. Someone with good intentions might not realize that you’re upset and the more others say or do now, the worse you feel. But there’s no need to stop anyone from talking because that will only raise the frustration level even higher. It’s best to take a break and wait it out; everything will settle down faster than you think.
You are a natural when it comes to sensible planning. You’re able to work long and hard to reach your goals. Usually, you reserve some energy for when you need it, but something is pushing you from within now and tempting you to burn all your fuel at once. Nevertheless, it’s really not a good idea. You won’t get what you want any faster, so retain some resources for next month when you will surely need them to sustain your momentum.
You may attempt to slog your way through an obstacle course that continues to hold you back, but you’ll face the consequences of your foolishness unless you get it right. This isn’t the best time to try an unproven shortcut or any clever maneuvers. Simply apply yourself in a steady manner, even if you don’t seem to be making a lot of progress. There’s no need for panic; you are accomplishing more than you realize and others will soon notice your work.
There’s no quick escape route for you now, so don’t even bother wasting your time and energy trying to avoid your work. However, backing off just a little is a good idea; it allows someone else to take the reins for a while. Sharing the burden of leadership lightens your sense of responsibility and can bring you a bit of much-needed freedom. The changes may not be huge, but even a small shift has a positive effect on your attitude.
Slow your pace around the horn with the Moon in earthy Virgo, but in void mode. Productivity in arts, crafts, and hobbies appears promising – thanks to a flowing trine of 120-degrees from Mars to Ceres (5:21AM PDT). Take non-essentials and unneeded clothing to second-hand stores. Finish old business with a flourish before the void Moon ends its Virgo experience at 3:39PM PDT when the lunar orb enters airy Libra. Once the clock strikes 3:39PM PDT, it is best to utilize the next 2+ days to explore the arts and improve the quality of your primary partnerships. Some volatility can arise as the Moon parallels Mars (5:04PM PDT) followed shortly thereafter by a Pallas-Mars opposition from Aries to Libra (6:25PM PDT). Barking out commands to a dear one is bush league. Work in harmony with key members of your household and extended family. A Sun-Moon supportive, 60-degree liaison occurs just 1 minute before the Pallas-Mars polarity – assisting you in utilizing problem-solving skills to patch up relationships on the rocks. Get a good night’s rest as tomorrow brings with it four powerful alignments that can put you on the defensive.

Passion and playfulness take top billing this weekend, which starts with the scene-setting Moon in dramatic Leo and ends with the Sun’s entry into this expressive Fire sign on Sunday. Brave hearts and youthful spirits are the winning tickets to a good time during this buoyant period.
Friday gives us a chance to let our feelings roar with the Moon in the expressive sign of the Lion. Bragging and being pushy are less desirable ways to act, but it’s fine to be bold and come on strong when it’s done with a light touch. Brash behavior is tolerated as long as there’s no bullying involved.
A lunar shift into meticulous Virgo on Saturday afternoon tones down the theatrics and encourages practicality. Activities that mix work and play can be especially appealing in this productive sign. Yet even the most discreet individuals could be itching for excitement and willing to take chances in pursuit of new experiences. An adventurous Jupiter-Uranus sextile stimulates minds, spurring interest in unusual activities and unconventional people. Taking a relationship leap into unfamiliar territory is thrilling; adopting some healthy precautions in advance ensures a safer landing.
The Sun’s ingress into big-hearted Leo warms Sunday morning with innocence and, perhaps, a greater will to love, regardless of the risks.
Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
A tomato features in todays cuisine. Sadly, that’s going to be your pinacle of excitement for today.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
Excellent day to crouch behind furniture, and peer over the top. If you can do that while wearing one of those Groucho Marx noses, so much the better.
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Excellent day to study gastroenterology, or possibly to go bowling.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Today you will receive a gift horse. Unfortunately, it will have a really horrendous case of gingivitis.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
You will attain your dream of having your own cooking show, but it will become tiresome when you have to battle your way past people dressed as chickens to get into the studio each day.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
It’s about time you learned some more recipes dealing with zucchini. Lots and lots of zucchini. You’ll need one of those new Martha Stewart “Kitchen Shovels”, I’m afraid. The good news is, you’ll find several nice zucchini recipes in my new cookbook “Recipes For Disaster” (the sequel to “Another Fine Mess”).
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Despite having a brilliant mind and a lot of terrific friends, you find yourself stagnating in a quiet backwater, with financial success nowhere in sight. You will go into business for yourself, however, making frozen Piroshki based on your grandmother’s recipe, and will become rich and famous. Your grandmother will thwap you with her umbrella.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
You will get a new job, soon, in which your most important activity will be to periodically “jiggle a little thingy”. While it will pay well, this will prove to be somewhat awkward to explain at parties. Eventually you will hit on the ploy of saying you sell insurance…
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
Today, someone named “Svlad” will appear at your door, carrying a large inflatable penguin and a bag of pistachio nuts. Despite your better judgement, you will let him in.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
You will contemplate nothingness today, but somethingness will keep intruding upon your thoughts.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
You will discover an odd amulet in an old curio shop, which is made entirely of holmium and yttrium, and which strongly interferes with the normal functioning of electronics. Best not to play with things like that.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Someone will ask you for your advice. Don’t give it! Or if they insist, simply shake your head solemnly, and mutter “Much bad juju”, and refuse to clarify. They only want a scapegoat.
Tuesday, July 3, 5:33 am PDT, 8:33 am EDT
Assertive Mars has been busy managing details since its entry into efficient Virgo last November. Its move into sociable Libra opens up new opportunities for personal and business alliances, making this a favorable time to launch a product or seek a job. Passive aggression is the shadow of this transit because anger can hidden behind insincere smiles. Mending fences and making compromises are fine as long as inner truth isn’t sacrificed to maintain appearances.
This is a playful weekend when cutting loose and expressing yourself without inhibition can be a lot of fun. The good times start with the Moon shining in outgoing Leo, a dramatic sign that’s all about taking chances. Showing off shouldn’t be frowned upon because everyone deserves his or her moment in the spotlight. Going too far may occasionally be embarrassing, but heart connections come from releasing inhibitions and letting it all hang out.
The sign Leo is associated with the Sun, which aligns favorably with imaginative Neptune on Saturday. Romantic experiences that have no purpose other than mutual pleasure somehow make sense now. Set aside as many tasks as possible so that reality is left behind in the pursuit of a good time.
Sunday’s mood is a different story once the Moon shifts into analytical Virgo. The morning, though, may still be filled with hope and visions of brighter days ahead, yet a more sensitive tone is evident in the late afternoon and evening. The Moon’s stressful square with amorous Venus exposes vulnerabilities and feelings of uncertainty. A simple comment could be interpreted as a major criticism when that wasn’t the intention. Being kinder in what we say and gentler in our approach can reduce the likelihood of hurt feelings or wounded hearts.
Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
A friend will ask you for help, but you should turn them down, silently, with a sad little shake of your head. When they ask what’s wrong, sigh deeply, and mutter “nothing, it’s nothing.”
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
Tomorrow when you wake up, many small objects on the carpet will bring you to the alarming conclusion that you have a live rabbit in the house. Search though you may, however, you will be completely unable to find hide nor hare of it…
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
You will receive a painful bonk on the head, today, while riding the bus downtown. It’s your own fault, though, for sitting in front of that trombone player.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Good day to make sure you are prepared for a big earthquake. Get bottled water, a first-aid kit, canned food, flashlights, transistor radio, sturdy hiking boots, and a feather boa.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
Hide.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
E-coli. It’s what’s for dinner!
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Your obsession with Lapsang Souchong tea takes a turn for the worse, today, as you begin secretly soaking your undergarments in it. Professional help is indicated.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
Rhubarb pie is the only antidote for your ailment. Trust me on this one. Also, someone’s been teasing your cat.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
Your neighbours will have a wild party, which you’ll catch glimpses of through the open window. You’ll know you shouldn’t watch, but it’s just hard to imagine how people can do that, especially on a trampoline.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
You will join a team, and have lots of fun. I’m not sure what sport it is, but the team name will be “The Screaming Weasels”.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
Uh oh. “Bursting into song day”, again. Your friends will avoid you.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Leek soup day, today. Despite your recent tendency towards shoplifting vegetables, I highly recommend you buy a leek, not take one.
Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Would you just Stop? Nobody else feels the need to dance around like that…
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
In a surprising twist, the failure of another large London-based bank will be blamed on you, today. C’est la vie, non?
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Today is the second-to-last day, of the 19th segment of your life. Time to learn to appreciate tofu (bean curd).
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Resist temptation, today. You might have to get rough with it, or even wrestle it to the ground.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
If you’re not already a vegetarian, you will be. Someone with the initial “E.” will make sure of that. Ed? Ernest? Dunno. Someone like that. E. Coli, is what I see. Odd name, huh? Sounds Italian.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
You will be forced to re-evaluate your boss’ IQ, when you discover that he is looking forward to the release of “Titanic II.”
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Something is about to become overly intimate with you. Intimacy can be good. Just not with fungus.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
You may have to share a hotel room with a business colleague, to save travel expenses. Here’s a tip to keep them from talking all night: bring along a teddy bear, and punch it really hard in the head a few times at bedtime, screaming “Shut up, Mr. Teddy! Shut up!.”
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
A moth the size of a Boeing 747 will erupt from a nearby hillside today, and go off to help a huge semi-aquatic rubbery dinosaur fight off an alien attack. So what are you doing to help?
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
A new love affair will have you all misty-eyed. Either that, or it’s the onset of glaucoma, in which case you should seek immediate medical attention.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
You will be buffeted by hordes of people, who will all simultaneously show up in your office “just to chat”. Eventually, you will make your escape by locking yourself in the bathroom.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You will have a trifle too much punch at a party this week, and will amuse the other guests by flopping around on the floor an making “Ark! Ark!” sounds. But who cares? If they want to be stuffy, let ’em, I say.
Tuesday, June 19, 8:02 am PDT, 11:02 am EDT
The New Moon in curious Gemini normally sparks fresh ideas and connections but scatters attention. Yet this one brings focus and maturity. It’s the second Sun-Moon conjunction in this sign in a less than a month, so we benefit from the experience of the earlier New Moon on May 20. Serious Saturn forms a constructive trine to this lunation, adding structure and responsibility. Feisty Mars also gets in the act with a square from earthy Virgo that challenges us to turn concepts into concrete reality. This aspect can tighten nerves with tension that provides the impetus to take immediate action.
The New Moon in Gemini spawns a million and one ideas, most of which blow away in the breeze. Yet this lunation presents uncommon opportunities for capturing the best ones and putting them into words. People juggling too many projects can benefit from letting some of those balls drop. Reducing intellectual clutter clears the way for our most valuable notions to turn into reality.
Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Today you will uncover astonishing proof that the dinosaurs died out due to a retrovirus contagion. Furthermore, you will find evidence of a government cover-up of research that indicates the same thing is likely to happen to humans. Don’t worry, though.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
Beware of poltergeists, today.
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Stop slouching, and sit up straight! How do you expect to get ahead in the world if you pay no attention to proper posture?
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Today will be a great day for bargains. For example, you’ll find a really amazing price on a flame-thrower, at the Army surplus store. A flame-thrower is one of those rare things that really creates a lasting first impression — so you should definitely get it.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
You will hear screams coming from a Hungarian restaurant, while you are walking by. Don’t worry, though. That’s normal.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
Soon you will start work on a mystery novel, “The Curse Of The Mummy’s Nose”, told from the point of view of your cat, Erik.
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Good time to go into business making measuring spoons. Good ones to start with would be a “smidgeon” and a “pinch.”
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
You will have a visit from “The Scourge of Valderia.” He’s thin, small, balding, wears little round glasses, and dresses in a rumpled blue suit. Still you don’t want to cross him.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
Following up on your accidental observation of the “sock dimension” (remember that sock you saw re-materializing a while back?), you will invent a machine to let you cross over the dimensional barrier. Sadly, you’ll be one dimension off, and will pop into the lost pen and pencil dimension, where you will be severely poked.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
Noticing a picture on a colleague’s desk, you will comment “I’ve never cared for those hairless cats”. That might not be a good thing to say. Newborns can be a bit blotchy, and new parents can be a bit touchy…
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
Things haven’t been going well for you lately, and you’re sinking into a fairly ugly bit of self-pity. You merely need to count your blessings! (1) You’ve got a tremendous talent, which some day may be in demand, (2) You’re almost normal — LOTS of people have extra appendages, (3)…
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You will finally come to understand what Mies Van der Rohe was talking about when he said “Less is more.” He was talking about his brother, Lester Van der Rohe, and was referring to a small weight-gain problem.
Clear your calendar for playtime this weekend with the Moon dancing in dramatic Leo and your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. You will know just how far to push it in your pursuit of pleasure, finding it easy to attract admirers without coming on too strong. Sunday, though, requires a lighter touch when exercising self-restraint and paying attention to details matter. Discussing delicate issues takes time; let patience be your guide and listen at least as much as you talk.
Entertaining at your place makes sense on Friday and Saturday with the boisterous Leo Moon lighting up your 4th House of Home and Family. Being generous of spirit is the key to meaningful interactions, even if you feel like you’re not receiving all the love and attention you need in return. Giving more than you take pays off on Sunday with a lunar shift into fellow Earth sign Virgo and your 5th House of Romance. A perfect mix of practicality and play allows you to find pleasure working with a desirable partner or to have fun even when doing your chores.
Flirtatious behavior is appropriate all week long starting with the friendly Gemini New Moon on Tuesday and ending with the bold Leo Moon shining in your 3rd House of Communication on Friday and Saturday. Striking up casual conversations enlivens even the most routine outing. You know how to be playful without ruffling feathers now that your chatty ruling planet Mercury is traveling through sensitive Cancer. Sharing intimate issues in a discreet manner is bound to enrich your relationship life. Telling someone you care might make all the difference in the world.
You may need to pump up your self-confidence to really enjoy being around others this weekend. The audacious Leo Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth signals the call to be more outgoing in your approach on Friday and Saturday. Dress up to put yourself in the mood required to tap into social opportunities and inspire romantic relationships. Showing your best self increases your chances for a deeper connection. Expressing your heart’s desires at the right moment may be all you need to do.
It’s time to step out and shine this weekend with the Moon illuminating your romantic sign on Friday and Saturday. Going too far in your search for fun is almost impossible now. As long as you obey the laws and don’t hurt anyone, there are no limits on how hard you can play. The spotlight is on you so you might as well put on an unforgettable show. You can make a heart connection almost anywhere you go. You might need a day of rest and recovery on Sunday after the Moon enters practical Virgo and your 2nd House of Resources.
The action for you this weekend is on the fringes and in the quiet corners of social gatherings. This behind-the-scenes approach works for you because the mood-setting Moon is lingering in your 12th House of Secrets on Friday and Saturday. While this lunar energy could make you feel like an outsider, it’s also a perfect chance for cozy connections in out-of-the-way places. Get some rest, you will need it. The pace changes significantly when the Moon moves into your industrious sign on Sunday, raising your public profile and putting you in the middle of the action.
Friends and organizations enliven your personal life this weekend with the expressive Leo Moon shaking up your 11th House of Groups on Friday and Saturday. Working for a cause is a great way to meet someone new or add a sense of purpose to a current flame. Sunday’s agenda takes a spiritual approach with the Moon’s shift into your 12th House of Divinity. Your amorous ruling planet Venus will finally start moving forward next week, making this a perfect time to complete unfinished personal business.
Graciously handling your responsibilities puts you in good stead this weekend. The confident Leo Moon occupies your 10th House of Public Duties on Friday and Saturday, empowering you to take the leadership role and run with it. Putting on a positive face, even under tough circumstances, earns you appreciation, admiration and allies. Good friends lighten the load on Sunday by inviting you to join in enjoyable group activities so you can take your mind off your work for a while.

There’s no halfway position when it comes to relationships this weekend.

Investing more of yourself with the one you love or making bold moves with a potential new partner is essential. Sure, you may feel foolish by being so open emotionally, yet holding back keeps you out of the game. Life is an adventure on Sunday once the Virgo Moon moves into your 9th House of Big Ideas; you can travel anywhere you wish in your mind.
You should be ready to rock when it comes to relationships this weekend. The Moon’s presence in demonstrative Leo and your 7th House of Partners heats up personal matters on Friday and Saturday.

Sunday offers even greater chances for connecting with someone special as a lunar transit in your 7th House of Partners pulls the people you admire into your orbit.

Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Today you will get one of those pimples that just suddenly appears, and you will only notice it when you glance in the mirror after a very important meeting.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
Small fluffy animals will come over and lean on you, today. It’s just their way of showing their appreciation, and of telling you that you are furniture.
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Today you will be watched by cats. It’s nothing really worth worrying about, I’m sure. Did you know that you’ve started making little unconscious “squeaks” when you’re concentrating on something?
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Today will be especially trying, and if you’re not careful, you could end up in a pretty grumpy frame of mind. Take precautions! Wear your E.T. underwear.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
You are coming down with a truly horrendous cold. The kind of cold that makes everyone else miserable, just by looking at you. That’s just the kind of inconsiderate behaviour people are starting to expect from you, too.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
You’ll become best pals with a large invisible rabbit, today. Well, actually he’s a “puka”, which is a type of Celtic spirit, but he’ll look like a large invisible rabbit.
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
You will unearth a small stone figurine, while digging in a garden. If you set it on your television and put a small bowl of fruit in front of it, those unsightly warts should clear up in a week or two.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
Today is not a good day to be yourself. In fact, that might even be dangerous. Be someone else, until further notice.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
Excellent day to make odd hand gestures at people you don’t know.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
Absolutely marvelous day to complain, grumble, gripe, or whine. Remember: if you’re going to do something, do it well.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
You will discover a horror almost beyone imagining today — your home is inhabited by the ghost of an insurance salesman. Who you gonna call?
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You need to work harder on your friendships. Why, you sometimes don’t even like yourself that much, do you? Be nice to yourself this week – buy yourself some flowers or a nice gift. And stop suspecting yourself of having an ulterior motive!
Get ready for more information overload! This unusual event on June 19 is the second New Moon in Gemini in less than a month! We now have another chance to initiate connections and gather information, but efficiency is essential now.
That’s because Mars in discriminating Virgo forms a square with this lunation that signals the need to eliminate excess data so we can focus on critical details. The urge to collect ideas and facts needs to be tempered by a very focused and practical perspective on its application.
See how this New Moon in Gemini will affect your horoscope sign:
You may be hearing a lot of noise that can turn your head in several directions now. Don’t pay attention to conversations that don’t contribute to the bottom line. Gossip and random data might be interesting, but they distract you from making the key connections that really matter. Concentrate on core concerns when trying to impress others, as one practical concept is worth more than a million random ideas.
Making a choice between two different financial opportunities or purchasing decisions could be challenging now. It’s best to be conservative by putting your resources in as safe a situation as possible. Buying one item of a higher quality is better than purchasing two cheap ones. Similarly, putting your effort into sharpening an essential skill is smarter than spending time on trivial pursuits.
This New Moon in your diverse sign is challenged by impatient Mars in pragmatic Virgo. If you’re feeling edgy, it’s probably because you have too many activities on your plate. Try cutting down your agenda by eliminating tasks that aren’t essential at this time. Serious Saturn’s favorable alignment to this lunation provides the discipline you need to avoid distractions and increase your productivity.
This New Moon falls in your 12th House of Endings, making this a great time to review the recent past. Carefully evaluating your plans helps you recognize which projects aren’t worthwhile so that you can let go of them and focus on what’s really going to change your life. Spiritual practices and using your imagination and creativity are positive new directions to consider.
This event in your 11th House of Groups can spur you to get more involved in an organization or to re-evaluate your role on a team. Getting along with colleagues may be difficult until you’ve worked out the details of exactly what you expect of one another. Boosting your status on the team is most likely to come from upgrading your ability in a specialized skill.
This busy New Moon falls in your 10th House of Career and Public Responsibility, which can load you down with obligations. Instead of wearing yourself out by trying to please everyone, it’s healthier to eliminate some tasks from the pile — even if it’s tough for you to disappoint others or to feel like you’re not pulling your weight. A diet regarding your duties will do you wonders.
Your interest in faraway places is likely to be spurred by this New Moon in your adventurous 9th House of Travel. However, this isn’t the ideal time to consider a getaway. It’s smarter to find ways to combine play with work or education so that a trip pays off in practical terms. Advice offered by a successful person might not be easy to accept but is probably worth taking.
Relationships could reach a new level of complications with this lunation landing in your 8th House of Intimacy. But instead of shutting out thoughts in your head or words from a partner, do your best to listen intently. Among the many things being said are one or two items that really count. Filter out the trivial stuff and you’ll hear valuable information for your personal and professional life.
This New Moon in your 7th House of Partners can put pressure on your relationship life. But that can be a good thing if you’re ready to make a commitment or are willing to work on the little details that can make or break an alliance. Sticking to real world issues and ways to resolve them is more important than letting your restless mind wander off in interesting but impractical directions.
Altering some of your work habits might be a productive use of this New Moon. It falls in your 6th House of Employment, challenging you to be even more efficient than useful. That could seem unfair as you’re probably juggling more balls in the air than usual. A healthier diet, along with proper rest and exercise helps you handle stress without getting edgy or wearing yourself out.
It’s time to be playful, creative and to have more fun. This New Moon lands in your 5th House of Romance and Children, where it lightens your heart and raises your profile. People want to be with you but you won’t have time for all of them. Carefully choosing who you want to spend your time with can make the difference between being bored silly and having an awesome time.
Changes on the home front are likely with this lunation in your 4th House of Roots. Unfinished thoughts and conversations about family may resurface, but it’s not helpful to simply repeat the old thoughts. Finding solutions is what this is all about, so focus on fixing issues. If have one you can’t resolve, set is aside and concentrate your efforts where real improvements can be made.
Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Today you will realize that it’s impossible to truly “control” anything, even yourself, and that the best you can hope for is to have some “influence” over yourself and your surroundings. This will make you feel better, before the pink slip arrives.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
You’ve heard that when economists use the word “nice”, they’re actually saying that something is homoscedastic and nonautoregressive. Today you will find out what they mean when they say something is “like, totally kewl.”
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
You will be tickled without mercy, today. Oddly, you will not be able to see your assailant.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
You will try to alleviate the boredom you feel by making something creative with twine. Fortunately, it will work, but you’ll need a lot of twine.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
Good day to avoid pickled herring.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
It was a simple mistake, which anyone could have made. What’s more, now you know better. I think, though, that the expression is too widespread for you to actually get it changed to “never look a gift horse in either end.”
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Someone who you really dislike, who is arrogance personified…will be nice to you. This is a good time to be afraid.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
What fun! You’ll be called in to a special meeting at work soon, where someone will have a “pink slip.” Sounds like party attire to me!
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
You will go into business making those little sugar packets that restaurants use, and make a fortune. The restaurants will have to use fewer of yours than anyone else’s. Is it due to the pictures on the packets, of really fat people? Who knows.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
You will walk into a door frame today, and people will smirk. Remember though, they’re smirking with you, not at you.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
You are about to have an unfortunate episode involving insects, grape Kool-Aide, and a revolving door.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Relationships are a lot like tables. One leg is love, one is trust, one is shared pleasures, and one is shared dreams. Lasting relationships need all four legs for balance, to hold up the burden of your troubles. In your case, though, you’ll never get rid of that irritating wobble.
Money makes the world go around, but right now it has your head spinning. Someone has made a weird investment or is suggesting a strange way of making a few quick bucks, but make sure that you check into the details before you throw any of your own coin down a bottomless well.
If you want to overcome a feeling of rejection today, focus on your self, your image, your own personal needs. Don’t be afraid to be prudently selfish today. That is exactly what you need to do if you are to understand and heal yourself today.
You could stumble across an old childhood hurt that is buried in your subconscious today. If you find yourself acting oddly and you don’t know why, stop for a moment and ask yourself “What is this all really about?” The answer could be healing.
Arguments or disagreements with friends could be a good thing today. All the cards will be on the table, in full view, and the two of you can decide as mature adults whether the problems can be overcome, or whether or not it might be time to agree to part the ways.
Don’t try to push yourself today. If you have a shot at a self-indulgent day off, take it and run. Trying to run about to get shores, shopping, or work done will only make you frustrated and anxious. Don’t feel guilty about taking a well-deserved break.
You may find yourself exploring a new educational opportunity or challenge today. You will be drawn to paper, books, and online knowledge that can increase your sense of well being or self-esteem. Focus on the wilder, newer and more innovative ideas that catch your eye.
If you are looking for investing opportunities, homes, real estate and home improvements are all good bets – but don’t go overboard with trendy decorations. You may find that those hot colours aren’t going to be in style too long. If you go shopping, look for bargains.
Your love life flip-flops from fabulous to frustrating, sometimes within a few moments passion turns to pressure. You are not communicating well, and you are not terribly realistic about your responsibilities and expectations in relationships.
If you work with a business partner, or have a friendly coworker you confide in regularly, pay them special attention today. They may be a little tense right now but they are going to have ideas that could make you both a lot more prosperous.
You may decide to take up some kind of structured sporting activity in order to get more exercise. This could be something of a challenge at first. Make sure that you stretch, get proper food and hydration, and check with your doctor before doing anything too intense.
Family members are both a source of joy and frustration right now. One is busy flipping wildly from one side of the “manic-depressive” spectrum to the other, while another is offering to help out and may even come bearing a gift of money, or news of a possible job offer.
You seem to have a hard time putting your thoughts into words today. There are times when your head says one thing and your mouth seems to want to say something else. Take long breaks if you are working on any important presentation or paperwork today.
