ARIES  March 21 - April 20

You may find that your thinking becomes more expansive at this time - you may be more interested in places and cultures that are different than your own.  Your mind is in more of a learning mode than usual and as well as being more mindful of cultural differences you may have a heightened drive to learn at this time.  There may be a very strong urge to travel - thus plans may be made accordingly now.  You may connect and correspond with another who is at a great distance from yourself or who may have a significantly different cultural background.  You may not be as apt to pay attention to details now so being deliberately more mindful of things that you might overlook might serve to counterbalance that possibility.  
TAURUS April 21 - May 21

At this time you may find yourself dealing with some "legal" or governmental administrative issues - the nature of those issues perhaps giving rise to a consideration of significant principals involved in your present circumstances.  In other words this may be a somewhat ethically sobering time, involving a morally charged situation in which a decision may have to be made or at least a definitive position taken and made clear to one or more individuals.  Difficulty and stress should not so much be shied away from as faced in order to resolve any current tensions or unsettledness.  Mental tools that may have to be mobilized now might include a sense of structure, integrity and fortitude.  The actual contexts in which this may be played out might include legalities, aspects which involve foreign or international cultural interests or even educational concerns.  Likely the more beneficial or constructive part of this experience may include learning, growth and development.  It is advisable to take a sober look at any travel ideas or plans at this time.
GEMINI  May 21 - June 21


You may find that a considerable number of changes are taking place at this time - the important thing is to look at the ultimate outcome rather than what you might "lose" at present.  The aspects of your life that are not working at present may have to be analyzed and broken down, that is, taken apart in order to build or rebuild new components that are ultimately more constructive.  This can certainly apply to individual or group situations where the interaction does not amount to any significant good for anyone concerned.
CANCER  June 27 - July 23


At this time the focus will largely be on relationships.  Important issues involving your need to make compromises or accommodations for your close relationships or partnerships may form in your consciousness now. Because the accent is on others at this time, it will not likely be of any benefit to you to be in an significant state of social withdrawal or seclusion.  You may simply experience this time as one in which you are "compelled" to give your one-to-one relationships some significant focus and this may definitely include meeting "the other" half way.  Personal vanity is particularly subject to downfall at this time because this is especially a time when the "required" focus and consideration is on "the other" as opposed to yourself.  You may have to place your own vanities and drives aside for the time being and lend time and energy to another for his or her benefit.  Even if you are not directly involved in taking special measures in supporting another it is likely that you will at least have to curtail your own drives and purposes in respect to your need to consider how another's needs may not be sufficiently met if due consideration from you is not given - it is important to keep in mind now that life is a two-way street.
LEO  July 24 - August 23


The central focus of your life, at this time, is likely to be on practical work and mundane responsibilities, especially in regard to putting your affairs in order, such as in sorting out your finances and in listing the day-to-day priorities in your life.  Attending to things that must be done, regardless of whether or not the activities themselves are "boring" or "unstimulating" will be important now.  Try not to leave any responsibilities undone, unfinished or at least unaccounted for now as you may find yourself having to pay a heavier price later for neglecting those things than  you would as compared to taking care of them at present.
VIRGO  August 24 - September 23


This will likely be a time of increased self-confidence and strength of self-expression.  You will likely project your personality more dramatically than usual.  You may find yourself attracting more attention than usual and it would be wise to check yourself now for increased vanity and competitiveness - keep in mind that humility is a virtue if you find yourself tempted to blow your own horn now.  This is a time when you will be more inclined towards seeking entertainment and pleasurable pursuits and you will likely feel more romantic than typically.  You may have a stronger and more intense interest in the arts now - this would be a good time for seeing a movie or reading a novel.  Be careful not to take too many risks now as there may be a strong inclination to gamble with things of value.  Recreational pursuits may be indulged in to a greater degree now, than usual.
LIBRA September 24 - October 23


You may engage in an unusual amount of short trips in your local environment at this time.  Communications will probably also be significantly on the rise as there will likely be a need to coordinate yourself with others now in relation to all your extra "running around," that is, in your short trips, here and there, to get small practical tasks and short term projects done.  It may be important now to make an effort to avoid getting caught up in idle and passing conversations that amount to nothing really more than passing distractions.  Stay focused on the practical work and responsibilities that you have in front of you and try to prioritize those activities which have the most importance - this may be quite important, given the temporary juggling act that you have to perform now.
