For All Signs: Of the ten celestial bodies used in an individual's horoscope, the sun's position relative to the earth is the only regular, annually repeated cycle. As the earth moves forward in its steady orbit through the year, the sun appears to move from one constellation to the next. As long as we add Leap Day to our calendar every four years, the Sun will continue to "travel" through the Aries sector of the zodiac. So when one identifies himself with a sign of the zodiac, he/she is describing the position of the earth relative to the sun at the time of his birth.

Aries: This is a week in which your physical cycle is "off." Don't press your body beyond what it wants to do, just because it could do the same thing last week. Pay special attention to your temporary boundaries right now and by next week things will return to your personal normal.

Taurus: From now through next week your attitude may be somber. Perhaps you are thinking about your primary relationship and what could be done to improve it. Usually this comes from something going awry between you. We need to experience such times so that we can make necessary corrections in our thinking and improve habit patterns.

Gemini: Your ruling planet, Mercury, moves into the sign of Cancer for the next two to three weeks. Your attention will be drawn to organizing your financial picture. At first it is hard to find solutions to your quest, but late in the week you may hit upon an idea or a new piece of information that will help you to move forward.

Cancer: You may not be feeling comfortable with yourself. It appears your mind is in conflict with your feelings. Do the best you can to deal with this issue up front, perhaps by discussing it with a friend. Keep in mind that it is not a mandate for you to settle on a decision right now.

Leo: You may experience a type of highly wired mental energy that can keep you on edge. If this becomes uncomfortable, counteract it with physical activity. If you are worrying, it may be for no reason at all.

Virgo: You are finishing a work project and shifting gears into new territory this week. You will be focusing on communications with friends, acquaintances, and reconnecting to your community network. Let yourself spend quality time with partner(s) and special friends. This is a fine time to enjoy books and/or TV, meditate and journal.

Libra: Your good judgment is in one place while your heart is in another. It could be highly distracting. Necessary expenses (those not of the "fun" type) may develop this week. If not that, you could be just having a little blue mood. Social life is very quiet.

Scorpio: Early in the week you have positive experiences related to travel, fun and leisure, children, and lovers. After the weekend, use caution with equipment and your physical body. Your physical cycle is in a dip and you may not be as strong as you assume.

Sagittarius: You have a desire to play. The temptation to overspend is strong. Consider what would be fun and interesting that doesn't require a lot of money. Activities concerning education, publishing, the law, and travel have positive aspects. You are talkative and in an exploring frame of mind. Curb your tendency to be opinionated.

Capricorn: Circumstances around the workplace or daily routine are a big challenge right now. Someone in your usual environment is particularly irritating and has been for quite a while. This situation could push you over the edge of losing your temper and unfortunately, it is you who will suffer the consequences if you let that happen. Walk away.

Aquarius: It may be that you are the object of advances or an attraction from someone that you prefer to avoid. It serves as a great lesson in tact and diplomacy. Make an effort to be honest about where you are in the situation, rather than talking about the other. Maybe this is a time when you would simply rather be alone.

Pisces: Allow your intuition to be your guide. The muse wants to speak through you during this period of two to three weeks. Focus on art, music and dance, — whatever gives you pleasure. Take long breaks if possible. Being near the water will be most soothing.
