ARIES (March 20-April 19)

A new moon occurs Tuesday in Gemini. Now this falls in the communication department. Expect a few delays while Mercury is retrograde, and expect to hear from people out of your past. Now remember, little ram, this is not the time to begin new projects. You may receive inaccurate information. Work on what you have already started. If you have finished all your current projects, work behind the scenes. You may get a surprise. Launch new projects after June 19 when Mercury moves forward again.

TAURUS (April 19-May 20)

New moon in Gemini on Tuesday. Good news with your earned income. Now little bull, if you get the urge to buy things, resist. Take inventory of what you already have. Get everything under control this month. Mercury retrograde is not the time for major purchases. You may not like what you bought once Mercury moves direct later this month. Clean out the barnyard. The new moon in Gemini brings the gift of gab, so talk about your values. On Sunday, keep your words soft and tender while the moon squares off with Mars. A female on the home front may not be friendly. Wednesday will be a nice day to chat with people in the neighborhood.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20)

You get a new moon in your sign on Tuesday. Write down your wishes and set a monthly goal. Those retrograde planets don’t mean you cannot aspire to bigger and better things. Be careful what you promise. You may not be happy later this month and wish you had not made the promise. If you feel a little restless, make travel plans. Socialize with your favorite party friends. Your social calendar gets a bit busy on Wednesday. Expect more next week. While Mercury is retrograde, expect delays.

CANCER (June 20-July 22)

Wave your little claws, little crab. A new moon occurs in Gemini on Tuesday. Be careful of promises you make this week. You may feel communication with a loved one has slowed down. Everything will change later this month when Venus enters your sign. Okay, so everyone wants to chatter. A secret could be revealed. Talk about your values. Discuss your dreams. Work on a few projects behind the scenes. The new moon is the best time to write down your wishes. You can write them in the sand. Share your goals with someone. Set your goals and wishes in reality—something to accomplish within the next month.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)

New moon Tuesday in Gemini. Talk about your goals, hopes and wishes. During the new moon, write down your wishes and set a goal for the next month. Mars provides energy and action, little lion. On Wednesday, you can inspire people to pitch in for a good cause. Go ahead, this is your month to be a little outspoken. The red planet boosts your confidence. You may feel as though you are in the limelight, so get ready to take charge. Opportunity could flow your way. Wish your Gemini friends a happy birthday. Go ahead, join the party. Expect a few delays, thanks to Mercury retrograde.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

Finish old business, dear little Virgo. You have the ability to detail and analyze. New moon Tuesday in Gemini. Now this, my friend, could bring a boost to the career department. Set your monthly goal. Write down your wishes. Tell someone about your monthly goal. Mercury retrograde is not the time to begin new business. Now you have the opportunity to work behind the scenes. Neptune encourages you to share your dreams in the daily work department. Get some exercise.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

Your kindred air sign Gemini celebrates his birthday this month. Gemini also is host to the new moon on Tuesday. Write down your wishes. Make your monthly goal. I know you are finding it difficult in the communication department. While Mercury is retrograde, old friends often reappear, and you also may have the opportunity to make new friends. Mercury retrograde may also send a few delays your way. Go ahead, chat with your friend—the new moon in Gemini brings the gift of gab. Expect delays. Clean off your desk. Get ready to launch new projects when Mercury goes direct.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

New moon on tap Tuesday. You feel a little anxious during new moons and full moons. Mars sends a glow to the career department. The new moon will occur in Gemini, where Venus, Mercury and the sun also have parked. Yes, my friend, people are there for you. Do not sign contracts while Mercury is retrograde. If you must, include a clause allowing for changes. Clean off your desk. Get ready to launch new projects after the 19th. Okay, so you are getting primed for success. Now this, my friend, is not the time to plan a vacation. You will notice things are a little different this year.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

New moon this week in your relationship department. Yes indeed, my friend, the Gemini twins are host to the sun, Mercury, Venus and the moon this week. Getting together with friends could bring a big boost this week. Mercury remains retrograde until the 19th. You may hear from people in your past. Expect a few delays. Okay, so you may want to spend some time with a loved one as the week winds down. Mars brings action to the travel department, thanks to your Leo friends, who now play host to the red planet. Share your higher knowledge. Talk about your travel plans. Set your monthly goal. Write down your wishes. Do so before the full moon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20)

Your daily work department has a full plate this week. You love to work, little mountain goat. Mercury retrograde causes a few delays and miscommunication. Everyone wants to chat during new and full moons. Write down your wishes. Set your monthly goal. If you get a chance to study, this is your time.

Watch Mars in Leo. The red planet in a fire sign. Go ahead, little genius, keep everything on an even keel in the relationship department. Mercury retrograde brings miscommunication. Go ahead and have fun. Sister air sign Gemini plays host to the sun, Mercury, Venus and the new moon on Tuesday. Sudden surprise could flow your way. Work on your goal and write down your wishes. Whatever you began last summer could be moving in another direction. Go ahead and make the needed changes. Mercury retrograde gives the opportunity to identify what changes you may need to make.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The water becomes brighter after the new moon on Tuesday. The home front has a glow from the sun, Mercury, Venus and indeed the new moon. A job well done pays off this week, little fish. Thank Leo, the host of Mars. Action and energy flow your way. June could be an easy month. Spend time a little closer to home. Organize some family fun. Mercury is still retrograde, so do not get upset if some of the little fish run a little late. Expect delays. Don’t let the family get upset because of miscommunication. Write down your wishes. Set your goal and share it with your family.
