April 16, 2015
Aries
March 21 – April 19
If it seems like you've done nothing but rush around lately, this week brings the chance to catch your breath. After all the razzamatazz and excitement, pause and assess your progress. You'll also need to think about money and other resources, such as talents, information, and anything else necessary to get ahead and how you might make use them. If you still want to commit, make April 18 the day you decide you'll stick with a plan or new relationship no matter what.
Taurus
May 21 - Jun 20
It's time to turn inspiration into perspiration - take that bright idea and run with it. In this respect, Mercury's move into your sign primes your ability to plan and research your options. But there's no rush. Allow whatever you have in mind to grow organically and you won't go far wrong. Don't force anything, but do take advantage of a wave of enthusiasm on Thursday to make a start. Meanwhile, a romantic dream can come true over the weekend.
Gemini
May 21 - Jun 20
Have you been finding it hard to get through to someone? If so, this issue could come to a head around Tuesday, when the person in question may seem at their most stubborn. Don't ask for any favors at this time, whoever it is, as you might receive short shrift. The New Moon in Aries can pave the way for a new beginning. This may be your opportunity to meet the person halfway. The weekend is great for movies, fun, and chilling out in general.
Cancer
Jun 21 - Jul 22
With Jupiter forging ahead in your money zone, delays in receiving cash and other forms of abundance should soon come to an end. Those seeds you planted a while ago will begin to sprout, bringing the potential for greater income for you. You can also increase your chances of attracting golden opportunities by networking regularly, whether you're looking for new friends or something more romantic. Begin a key goal on Saturday, when the New Moon in Aries can help you get a head start
Leo
Jul 23 - Aug 22
There's plenty of potential for fun and drama in your life, particularly if you're willing to move outside your comfort zone. There's also a push to succeed in your career, which you can benefit from by slowing down and considering what you really want. It's worth spending time doing this, as the climate is right for you to succeed so long as you're heading in the right direction. A more sensitive influence over the weekend can spotlight some romantic possibilities.
Virgo
Aug 23 - Sep 22
The urgency around money matters may die down this week, leaving you feeling less anxious yet even more motivated to increase your earning potential. One way of doing this might be to upgrade your skill set by taking a course or class. If you're driven to increase your knowledge, this is the time to go for it. On Saturday you'll be confident enough to move in the direction of your dreams, as an optimistic influence pushes you to move outside your comfort zone.
Libra
Sep 23 - Oct 22
If you're eager to get your money working harder for you, the current alignment suggests that putting in the effort now can bring good returns further down the line. You can do even better if you're willing to ask for advice from someone with experience. The New Moon in Aries brings an opportunity to take a relationship to a new level. Whether you're in a budding romance or considering a business partnership, this is the time to go for it.
Scorpio
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Mercury's move into Taurus brings an opportunity to clear the air, discuss your priorities, or find a compromise in a difficult situation. You'll find your interactions have a soothing, beneficial effect on you. Even if you can't agree on something, the earthy qualities of this week's blend of energies can act as a balm to your soul. If your intense feelings have complicated matters, you'll find the common sense solutions that show up this week to be a revelation
Sagittarius
Nov 22 - Dec 21
A Venus/Saturn connection could leave you feeling out in the cold early this week. But because the aspect is temporary, things between you and another can quickly improve. As Mercury glides into Taurus it pays to nurture your mind and body by getting enough sleep, eating the right foods, and exercising regularly. If you've been busy, think about indulging in a spa day or massage. You are your own best resource, so it certainly pays to invest in your well-being.
Capricorn
Dec 22 - Jan 19
The likelihood of romance is high as Mars continues its journey through sensuous Taurus. If you're in the dating loop, you'll have the most luck when you seek out others who share your love of the good things in life - people who enjoy gourmet food, excel at business, and love the same cultural activities. Saturday's New Moon in Aries can be a catalyst for change on the home front. If you have a plan, that's the day to put it into action.
Aquarius
Jan 20 - Feb 18
A love tryst could seem to turn a little sour on Tuesday. Try not to take it personally. There's a good chance your sweetheart has issues that have nothing to do with you. As it's only temporary, you'll soon be back on good terms. Are you in a long-term relationship? You may be eager to sort out home-based projects. Saturday could be your best bet, as a potent transit delivers the energy and enthusiasm to get things off to a great start.
Pisces
Feb 19 - Mar 20
With Venus now in Gemini, it's technically a great time to entertain at home and make family and friends feel welcome. The only exception to this could be Tuesday, when an edgy connection could throw a monkey wrench in the works. The weekend looks like perfect party material if you're hoping to celebrate. It's also excellent for a date with a romantic theme. If you want to impress or give your sweetheart special treat, this is the time to go for it.
