ARIES (March 20-April 20)

The moon travels to Pisces. Sweet dreams. Today is an excellent time to chat with family members. Discuss a few daily work issues. Some of you may decide to work from the home front this weekend. Enjoy your long Fourth of July weekend. Sport the red, white and blue. Watch the fireworks. Share your expertise this week. Be a mentor. Show your creativity. You may find people a little bullheaded Tuesday and Wednesday while the moon visits Taurus.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Mercury, the messenger, takes up residence in your communication department. You have the ability to think fast today. Your mind is full of new ideas. But don’t share all your ideas with others. Spend time with children or run around the playground. Mars sends energy. If you decide to take a little gamble, Lady Luck is on your side. On Sunday, wear the red, white and blue. Wave the flag and celebrate Independence Day. Enjoy the fireworks. Your Cancer friends are celebrating their birthdays this month. Join the party.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20)

Take a look at your earned income department before you make any major decisions involving your daily work. Talk with family members when Mercury sends a message to Mars today. Help your Cancer friends celebrate their birthdays. On  Sunday, wave the flag and enjoy the fireworks. Celebrate the Fourth of July. On Tuesday and Wednesday, chill out. Spend some time alone. Work behind the scenes. Don’t reveal all your secrets. You may find people a little bullheaded when the moon meets Taurus on Tuesday and Wednesday.

CANCER (June 20-July 22)

Happy birthday. Do not forget to set a goal for the next year and write down your wishes. Look back on all you have learned during the past year. We do learn from our mistakes. And give yourself credit for your victories, no matter how large or small they may be. When you set your goal, aim high. Enjoy the fireworks Sunday. Break out the red, white and blue. If you feel anxious Wednesday, play it cool. A new moon and solar eclipse are coming up in your sign next week. Wednesday is not a good day to debate with female acquaintances.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)

Share your dreams. This is the clearest way to express what you want. Mars, the planet of action and energy, hooks up with Neptune, the dreamer. Mercury, the yakker, brings the gift of gab. Good way to start the week. Have fun. On Saturday, Mercury receives help from Saturn. This brings an opportunity to reinforce your ideas and skillfully present the facts. Pull out the flag on Sunday. It’s the Fourth of July. Uranus’ visit to Aries may bring an urge to travel.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

Play it cool today. Speak carefully. Make yourself understood. Your words may flow smoothly, but detail could get lost. We know you are the detailer and analyzer of the zodiac. Your co-workers could appear a little foggy while Neptune visits their department. Your friends or business obligations may need attention for the next few weeks during the sun’s stay in Cancer. Take a little time off. On Sunday, pull out the red, white and blue. Wave the flag. Watch the fireworks as the U.S. observes Independence Day.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

Follow your instincts. Mercury, the messenger, encourages you to talk about your professional goals. Take advantage when Mercury works with Saturn. Saturn is a money planet. Share your ideas with people in authority. Your career could take center stage this week. Trust your creativity and go with your intuition. Chat with the boss. The sun in Cancer puts a glow on your house of career. Spend some time with Cancer friends. Help them celebrate their birthdays. Tuesday is a good business day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

Get some fresh perspective in your life. See what you can sniff out. The sun is in Cancer. The sun is in your department of higher knowledge. You may have an urge to travel. Mercury, the messenger, teams up with Mars. Time to take action. The red planet provides plenty of action, and he could ignite some bright ideas. Mercury lets you express them clearly. Yes indeed, in a way that could motivate others as well as yourself. Get together with some Cancer friends. This is their birthday month. Join the party. Have fun. On Sunday, wave Old Glory on Independence Day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You find the words to motivate people to take action. Mars brings energy and action to your career department. Share your knowledge with the folks in your house of daily work. You can ask the people in authority for help, thanks to Saturn in your career department. This could be the time to make a career decision. With the sun in Cancer and Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn in Virgo at various times this month, you have an excellent opportunity to evaluate your business moves honestly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20)

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, and do not let people waste your time. Mercury, the messenger, encourages you to share your knowledge. Saturn is visiting Virgo, and this gives you a chance to detail and analyze things. Long-distance travel may be on your agenda. Uranus, the planet of surprise, has taken up residence on the home front. Talk with the folks in your relationship department. The sun shines bright on your house of business and personal relationships.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)

The sun in Cancer allows you to take a look at obligations in the house of daily work. Mars gives you the energy to deal with the folks in the business world. Take a look at your joint resources. Venus’ visit to Leo puts your relationships on center stage. This could draw you closer to someone special. Uranus goes retrograde Monday. Expect things to slow down. On Tuesday and Wednesday, get off the sofa and talk to friends and family members about your dreams.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You can have good relationships. You and your partner do not have to be perfect. If you feel a little antsy, it’s the new moon solar eclipse coming up next week. I am sharing this in case you become a little short on patience with your friends later this week. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. Residents of your sister water sign, Cancer, are observing birthdays. Sunday brings another celebration—Independence Day. Wear your red, white and blue scales. Wave the flag and enjoy the fireworks. On Tuesday, share your dreams. On Wednesday, show your creativity. Lady Luck is smiling at you. Remember, it takes only one ticket to win the jackpot.
