ARIES (March 20-April 19)

Your fellow fire sign Leo is encouraging you to get out and have fun. Lady Luck is on your side, my friend. Work on your creativity. The full moon arrives next week. Mercury sends a wink to Mars, your ruling planet, on Sunday. Now this is the day to join your friends for fun, love and luck. Go ahead, get ready to move your projects forward. Watch out for inaccurate information. Keep a keen eye on joint resources. Keep your words soft and tender Tuesday morning. Your fellow denizens of the meadow may not be friendly. A female brings good news from the daily work department.

TAURUS (April 19-May 20)

This is not a good time to be in the spotlight, nor is it the time to speak out. Mercury remains retrograde. Stay flexible. Watch out. Any miscommunication can cause a ruckus. Work on your monthly goals. You are the stable one. You are down to earth and appear to have everything under control this week. Your career runs smoothly, and your finances are moving forward. Some of you little bulls may decide it is time to buy another bullpen. Many of you are handy with a paintbrush. Your flexibility pays off in an unexpected way, my friend. Set your monthly goal.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20)

Such a busy schedule. Gather with friends. Promote your projects. You are in the limelight, and people notice your persona as you host three planets—the sun, Mercury and Venus. Write down your wishes for the year and indeed set your yearly goal. Push your ideas, hopes and goals. Show your talents. Okay, so you may notice a few delays and miscommunication. Mercury will be retrograde until the 19th. If you feel a little confused, remember, it is Mercury, the messenger, retrograde. You shine at gatherings. Socialize with friends.

CANCER (June 20-July 22)

I know you have been busy working behind the scenes. Get ready to launch your new project when Mercury moves direct on the 19th. Yes, just before your birthday. Go ahead, build your little sand castle. Sometimes you feel uncomfortable when people ask for your assistance. I know it is just the business of being a role model for others, my friend. Do not keep good news to yourself. Take a group of friends out and celebrate. Mercury is still retrograde, so expect a few delays and keep an eye on the mailbox. Watch miscommunication.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)

Plenty of action and energy in the jungle for all you little lions. Yes indeed, Mars, my friend. Jupiter, the planet of growth, luck and opportunity, and Uranus, the planet of surprise, are in harmony this month. Now this, my friend, could mean a raise in the daily work department. Compliments flow your way from people in authority as well as co-workers. Expect delays and miscommunication. Mercury remains retrograde. Talk about your goals, ideas, hopes and wishes with others. You may become more visible.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

It is hard for you to realize that anything can go wrong. Now when trouble hits the relationship department, you have a hard time understanding what went wrong. Find the rhythm and grace. Finish projects you have already started while the window of opportunity is open. Remember, my friend, Mercury is retrograde, and the messenger can put the brakes on things. Not a good time for any new projects. Now you, my friend, are famous for second-guessing. Join your fellow earth sign Capricorn in the house of fun, love and luck. Pay attention to your dreams. Your daily work gets a jolt from the career department. People notice you.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

You still have time to write down your wishes and work on your monthly goal. No need to try to balance everything. Retrograde Mercury may put a delay on a trip, either for business or pleasure. Friends can be a distraction, but this could be welcome. New friends and old friends are where you find fun, love and luck. Take a lap or two around the playground. You may enjoy taking a little time for yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

Work on your goals. The full moon arrives next week. Mars in Leo occupies the career department of your chart. This is not the time to plan a long vacation. See what you can dig up in the career house. Mars brings action and energy. Use this energy wisely, because once the red planet leaves this section of your chart on July 1, he will not return to it until the late fall of 2009. Get primed for success. The window of opportunity is open in the career department. Take control of projects that others may have given up on. Prepare yourself to make important decisions next week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get ready. Retrograde Pluto will move back into your sign next week. Set your monthly goals and write down your wishes before the full moon arrives next week. Get ready to go with the flow. Your team comes up to bat later this month. Mars shoots energy into the travel department. Nice time to plan your vacation. Your house of relationships takes center stage, both on the business and personal levels. Someone is not seeing you clearly. Neptune retrograde sometimes brings fog. Speak up. Let others know who you are. Jupiter brings growth, luck and opportunity to your earned-income department. Discuss your values.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20)

The mountaintop is a little brighter as the moon approaches the full mark. Set your monthly goal and write down your wishes before the full moon arrives next week. Now you may want to begin looking back and noticing what you have accomplished during the past six months. Ask yourself what you have learned. Mercury, the messenger of the gods, remains retrograde. Work behind the scenes. Get ready to launch any new projects after the full moon later this month. People are there for you, my friend. On Saturday, the sun holds forth with Mercury. Good news flows your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)

Go ahead and make the necessary changes while Mercury is retrograde. Now you have the time to look back and see how much you have accomplished. Whatever project you begin now may not work out, dear little genius. Once Mercury goes direct again you can begin new projects. Let go of what is not working. Could be a business or personal relationship. New moon in Gemini. You may find yourself in the right place at the right time. Lady Luck is on your side this week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You may find family members quite chatty. The water is not only warmer but also a little brighter. A few of your relationships in the family may have gotten mixed up, and misunderstandings may have occurred since the communication planet, Mercury, went retrograde. I know you feel more comfortable spending time at home. Good idea. Work on domestic projects. Mercury retrograde will be a nice time to show others your new projects. Within the next few weeks you will realize this has been a rather carefree month for you.
