21 Mar to 20 Apr
Aries: Others, whether they’re your partners, potential partners, or even random strangers, may have quite a bit to say to you. You’d do well to listen, especially around the 9th and 13th. You could catch an insightful piece to a career issue that’s been puzzling you.
21 Apr to 21 May
Taurus: Beautifying as much of the humdrum of life is what’s going to help you preserve your sanity this month. You might particularly feel at your wit’s end around the 13th when Mercury gets into a rapid thought-firing contest with Uranus. Speak slowly, and keep lavender or something else sweet smelling to lighten the heavy air.
22 May to 21 Jun
Gemini: You’ll have fun this month if you stick to rockin’ your wit more than your sarcasm or snark. Wit is playful, but sarcasm directs you to say other than what you mean or how you feel. Make no false promises and speak no lies, and September will be a delightful surprise.
22 Jun to 22 July
Cancer: Your thoughts could drift to forlorn days of yesteryear with family and home, putting you in a melancholic mood. If you’re too caught up in that mood, you could get really cranky and snappy around the 13th. However, you can also foster new memories by reaching out to family now, or by hosting a comfortable, tasteful gathering at your home.
23 July to 21 Aug
Leo: Your Leonine charms could bolster more of a gift for gab this month, even if you are quiet normally. With grandiose and generous Jupiter in your sign this year, you fortunately don’t have to labour too hard to sell yourself or what you’re promoting. Allow your confidence and exuberance to speak on their own for you.
22 Aug to 22 Sept
Virgo: You won’t be in too many laughing moods when your money’s involved. However, be careful not to slip into any cutting or carping ‘tudes about your finances at the middle of the month. Messes and problems will work themselves out soon enough, so you could regret your testiness later.
23 sept to 23 Oct
Libra: With Mercury doing a lot of flying around in your sign this month, your mind and mouth could be working overtime. You might feel your most creative with loads of nervous energy toward the middle of the month, so go easy on the caffeine. Venus in earthy Virgo might help with grounding energy from yoga or healthy juicing.
24 Oct to 21 Nov
Scorpio: You might have a hard time lining up what you think and know are right with how you put that into practice. For instance, around the 13th, you might know better than to answer an off-tone email with more tone deafness, but you rush to clear your inbox. Some things could require more care than a first glance.
22 Nov to 20 Dec
Sagittarius: It’s great when you get along with work colleagues naturally, but sometimes, like the middle of this month, you have to work at it. Take a little more time to study people at work to find out what really makes ‘em tick and what they like. Then you’ll be able to forge better natural connections with them.
21 Dec to 20 Jan
Capricorn: In a rush to advance and to learn cutting-edge techniques, you’ll have to be careful not to leave behind your basic understanding of things…or your manners. Likewise, you should really evaluate how much time and energy you should invest in getting where you’re going. You might have to re-think your efforts next month.
21 Jan to 19 Feb
Aquarius: Your ability to see both sides of an issue will be well warranted and appreciated if you’re called on to broker peace. However, if you feel the least bit compelled to play devil’s advocate to “be fair,” please don’t. Near the middle of the month, keep your opinions to yourself, especially if there’s no real conviction behind what you have to say.
20 Feb to 20 Mar
Pisces: At the top half of the month, it might not be worth it to put too much effort behind impressing someone. In fact, the more you pare things down, the more glamorous you might appear. This isn’t about letting yourself go, though. It’s more about letting your present natural beauty show rather than fretting over what you don’t have.
