Mars in Sagittarius can make us feel much more energetic in many areas of our life. So, don’t delay. See where you need oomph and just get oomphing.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
There is something exciting and dramatic swirling in the background now, Capricorn, and this mysterious energy can play out in many exciting ways. See where the cosmos point you and take a journey to a new level of charity and kindness. Then, go and rule the world with love.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Your friends and associates will not only provide you with many forms of entertainment, but they might also lead you to new, profitable oppor- tunities and advancements. Don’t sit at home waiting for a knock on the door, Aquarius. Reach out and see who reaches back.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
It might be time to refocus your career and long-term professional plans now, Pisces. You seem to be filled with renewed energy and ambition. This is all great, and it means it is time to get what you deserve from all of your hard work. The next step is to go out and look for your next big professional adventure.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries may be ready and raring for a bit of travel now ... and why not? The past few weeks may have left you feeling penned in. A bit of freedom and fresh air will be very welcome and liberating. So, find many ways of expanding your horizon both physically and mentally now.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Sexy Taureans may be feeling extra romantic as their lust for life turns into even more lust than normal. Find ways to channel your ardor so you get even more than just a quick superficial fling. Find substance in your intimate interactions and seek more long-term connections.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Relationships that are in need of a little boost can get one now, Gemini. See where a little tender loving care is needed and apply the balm. Before you know it, something that seemed like nothing before becomes something wonderful and special. The secret is to give more. You eventually get more.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Whatever work project you have going on, this is the time to apply even more attention, energy and devotion to it. Become super focused on all the details and your path to action will eventually reveal itself. You will make great strides in solving a long, frustrating issue. So it is time to focus, Cancer.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Anything fun or festive suddenly goes from cold to hot. The world opens up to you. Leos with some creative ideas can implement them with great success during this time. Find your muse and go with the disco beat — this is no time for a slow dance. It’s time to turn up the rhythm because inspiration is here.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Family gatherings for the holidays will have a certain special energy now, Virgo. You yearn for connection, but that means that you might have
to be the one to reach out and make things happen. Get planning on a get-together for the holiday season that will be extra special. Then, it’ll finally be time to celebrate.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Whatever you say and how you say it will have monumental impact now, Libra, because you are especially compelling and eloquent. Think about what you want to accomplish. Then, go out and find the best people to listen and share your insights and opinions with. Who knows where this can lead?
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
If there are times for you to be especially practical, this is it, Scorpio. Whatever financial issues you may have been experiencing, you can find novel ways to make things better, stronger and even more profitable. Focus on what you can do to grow your nest egg. Then, get moving on your money.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
You are in the epicenter of all of the action now, Sagittarius. People seem to just gravitate toward you. What can you do now to take full advantage of every opportunity? Will it be pushing forward a long-delayed passion project or just expanding your already large social circle? Well, why not try both?
