Visible Planets: Morning: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter Evening: Mars and Saturn 
Aries
(Mar. 21-Apr.19)
Spring Equinox marks the Sun’s entrance into Aries, the official end of winter and the annual month of rebirth for the Ram. Celebrate life via personally enriching activities. The new year calls you to confront your feelings and fears, consider the needs of others, take calculated risks and reclaim your power and authority. Light the candles, make the wish!
Taurus
(Apr. 20-May 20)
The recent Pisces New Moon encouraged connections to spiritual realms, strengthened intuition and illuminated inner divinity. This week’s Full Moon invigorates individuality and the impulse to grow, explore and pursue. Enlist friends and engage associates in the manifestation of your dreams. Think positive and act with integrity. 
Gemini
(May 21-June 21)
The Twins are either innocent and naïve or clever and calculating. It all depends on the motive and target. Springtime encourages the child within to take a giant leap into unknown territories, explore uncharted water and discover fresh soil in which to plant seeds and grow fruit. Career change is on the horizon. Follow your dreams. 
Cancer
(June 22-July 22)
This week, motivational Mars in Cancer and powerful Pluto in Capricorn square the Sun and Moon to form a cardinal grand cross, a configuration of personal challenge, dynamic opportunity and positive change. Balance is the key word here; keep a cool head and maintain an even keel. Examine choices and make good ones. 
Leo
(July 23-Aug.22)
Increasing light stimulates growth and encourages movement. Lions roar as springtime blows fresh life into darkened dens and cave-fuel like corners. Greening pastures ignite passions and fuel desires. Strategies change and expand. The universe is a fertile field of unlimited potential and possibility. Explore all options. 
Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sep.22)
How we deal with anger, assertion and power is being redirected and redefined. It’s time to consider our part and accept total responsibility for our circumstances and relationships. Blaming others awards them with power and relieves us of our own. Review offers and delineate options. Maintain calm and cultivate inner peace.
Libra
(Sep. 23-Oct.22)
Watch for cosmic clues and revelations regarding partnership involvement and commitment in general. You may feel the force of others who want to pull you in to their lives or their deals. Stop in your tracks and redirect the energy back to center. Something has reached a breaking point. Are you finished? If so, go forth anew. 
Scorpio
(Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
Take your and others’ shortcomings more lightly and concentrate intently on what you wish to energize and create next. What have you learned? What do you want now? Balance, virtue and action are allies in your war against entropy and sloth. Romance sizzles and life is good. Maintain momentum and focus as you enjoy the joy. 
Sagittarius
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
The full moon marks an important crossroads and a summons to courage and commitment. You cannot go back, and, thank goodness, you don’t want to! It’s time to see the forest for the trees, carve out an enlightened path and travel the high road. Creative change on the home front continues. Don’t settle for less when you’re worth more. 
Capricorn
(Dec. 21-Jan. 19)
Actual and virtual pressure filters through the cosmos this week as planets align in a dynamic cardinal grand cross. Maintain schedules, light candles and perform rituals for peace. Balance and equality, compassion and forgiveness are your allies. Contemplate the difference between external and internal power. Be authentic. 
Aquarius
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Restless spirits fly upon the winds of change as springtime births new beginnings. It’s time to get out, explore your neighborhood and check up on the world next door. Short trips, friendly visits and back alley bargains illuminate your path. Heal the heart with sunshine and calm the soul with peace. You’re beautiful and blessed. Be kind. 
Pisces
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Balance and turning points are themes this week as the Pisces new moon grows full. Travel the four directions in a process of resolution. Are you finished with a job, a relationship, a belief or a way of life? Go inside and do the inner work. Understand who you are in spirit, what you need in body and why you’re here on Earth. Be you.
