Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

September 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

Until the 23rd, the Sun continues to spotlight your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

From the 23rd, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

In September, stimulating activity along romantic, pleasurable, and creative lines continues to enliven your life, dear Aquarius. Career matters begin to move forward with pleasing results, as do travel and educational plans. Family relationships and domestic life are strong. A close partnership intensifies. Whether this makes you feel more deeply connected or it challenges you with mini relationship crises depends on how you feel about this increased intimacy! Issues of intimate sharing as well as joint finances come into high focus, demanding attention now and in the months to come.

Venus turns direct on the 8th, and Venus-ruled areas of life begin to move forward. Love, appreciation, and the need for companionship are expressed more naturally and readily from this point forward.

A Solar Eclipse in Virgo occurs on September 11th. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from September 4th to 11th. This Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it's time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Mars and Mercury this month on the 6, 13-15, and 30, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 6th, creative energy is on your side. Your spirit is pioneering. Communications go well, or you receive some good news. On the 13-15 and 30-1, you may be asked for advice, communications flow smoothly, you are able to rationalize and solve problems, and romantic connections can be made. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior occur on the 2-4, 9-10, 16, and 28, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 7-10 and 18-19. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 3-4, 12-13, 20-22, and 27-28, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 12-14, 17-19, 23-26, and 30-1. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2-3, 6, 8, 16, and 28. These would be less than ideal days on which to have a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 1-2. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3-4, 9-10, 12-13, 16-19, and 27-28.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1, 6-8, 13-14, 18, 22, and 27. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 3, 11-12, 17, 19, and 26, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4, 7-9, 23-24, and 26-27. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 2-3, 17-19, and 20-22, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your seventh house all month. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Mercury transits your ninth house from the 5-27. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind is on bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house until the 28th. During this cycle, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement, and pleasure in general. You have a likeable, competitive, and almost flamboyant temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire for creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

Highlights:

September 3-4 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 7-8 Venus and Pluto turn direct after retrograde periods. These influences represent matters moving forward after a period of introspection and/or lag. For you, career and reputation matters, travel plans, education, and family matters begin to turn around after a period of review or lag. Slowdowns in these areas begin to lift.

September 7-8 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 11 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo in your solar eighth house affects you now and for months to come. Unexpected events necessitate the need for new beginnings. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

September 15-16 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 19-21 Mars opposes Pluto, Venus opposes Neptune, and the Sun is challenged by both Pluto and Chiron. Battles begun now are lose-lose situations. Avoid beating a dead horse and attempting to force matters that should naturally take time to unfold. Circumstances now can push us to discover our own power--power that comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do. We are not seeing our finances or love relationships clearly just now. For you, a partner could be going through a challenging time, or may simply be frustrated with the relationship. Be patient. An especially busy time on the job is likely now. Avoid impatience with those around you. Financial initiatives should be held off if possible.

September 22-23 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 24-25 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 24-26 Mercury sextile Pluto and trine Mars. This is a great time for enjoying meaningful entertainment or romance. It's also strong for career and presenting important ideas.

September 26 A Full Moon occurs today in early Aries in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.

September 30-October 1 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

August 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

Until the 23rd, the Sun continues to transit your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It's important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

From the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your sector of  transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Partnering, romantic expression, and negotiations are the hot topics in August for you, dear Aquarius. Romantic and creative matters become pressing or heated. Impulsive attractions, or a sudden desire to breathe new life into existing relationships, figure in the second half of the month. Travel or education plans require revision before they can be put into action. Friendships thrive and partnerships get top billing, particularly on the 21-22. An important financial matter comes to light in the last week of the month.

Venus continues to retrograde all month and until September 8th. For the time being, avoid making critical decisions about Venus-ruled areas of life, including love and social relationships, entertainment, beauty, and finances. Read more about Venus Retrograde here.

This month, Leo and Sagittarius houses are emphasized. The Sun, Mercury, and Venus all align with Saturn and trine Pluto at various points in the month. As well, Jupiter in Sagittarius turns direct on the 6th. This affects your seventh and eleventh houses. Emphasis is on partnering--the serious elements of it. It's time to make a plan to improve this area of your life. It may feel like work, but accepting responsibility and the determination to "clean up" your life on the level of relating one-to-one will bring rewards. Friendships and group associations can be fortified this month as well.

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on August 28th in the early degrees of Pisces. The "crisis" that eclipses such as this one tend to elicit is a crisis of lack--a time when we suddenly realize a great need or want. This eclipse can trigger awareness of need in an area of our lives, such as our relationship to work, to our health and bodies, and so forth. This is a time when matters come to light--things that have been brewing under the surface. With the Virgo-Pisces service axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants in our lives. We are pushed to find a balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces). Virgo rules the tools and techniques that we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces rules the tools that we use to deal with our spiritual selves. Epiphanies are likely at this time as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into positive action. Full Moons and Lunar Eclipses bring issues in our lives to fulfillment. Our emotions are heightened, and there is often some sort of drama involved with the house, sign, and any contacted planets activated by the Full Moon. Occurring in your second house, you may get a cosmic push to make necessary financial changes in your life. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Mercury and the Sun this month, on the 18 and 21-22, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 18th, communications figure strongly. An important conversation or piece of news is part of the picture now. On the 21-22, you enjoy increased personal influence and recognition or respect. This is also a strong period for attracting or enhancing a close partnership. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 1-2, 6, 10-11, 13, and 28, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. On the 1-2, you are likely to encounter aggressive or willful situations or people.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 2 and 9. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 13-14, 17-19, 23-25, and 30, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 3, 9, and 17-18. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, 6, 10, 13-14, 24-25, 28, and 30. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 1-2 and especially the 15-22. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3-5, 10-11, and 13-14.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 3-4, 9-10, 12, 16-18, 26, and 31. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 5, 20, and 28, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-7, 12-14, 18, and 21-22. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to move through your intimacy sector but then dips back into your partnership sector this month. Intimate relationships are intensified, but due to Venus's retrograde motion, past issues are revisited and old problems come to light. This is a period of review and re-assessment of financial and partnering matters for you. Whether or not a partnership is deep and intimate enough could figure prominently now.

Mercury transits your solar seventh house from the 4-19. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.

Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 19th. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mars energizes your solar fifth house from the 7th. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:

August 1-2 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 2-3 Operative energies include the Sun trine Jupiter and Mercury sextile Mars. The tendency to take the high road in our relations with others dominates now. We more easily assert ourselves and our needs without causing a stir. For you, a blast of positive energy regarding partnerships helps you out now. This is also a stimulating time for you romantically speaking.

August 7-8 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 11-12 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 12 New Moon in Leo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon in September. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public. 

August 12-15 Operative energies include Neptune opposing a Sun-Mercury conjunction; and Venus conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. Relationship or financial tests are likely now, but act to improve matters considerably in the long run. Be wary of what others are saying, of what you read, and of what you perceive during this period. Avoid making premature decisions until Neptune's veil lifts. Partnership and negotiation matters come into strong focus. However, you could find that a significant other is coming down on you and wanting answers. Your tendency just now is to be evasive. Confusing circumstances surrounding your close relationships are likely now.

August 17-19 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Venus; and Mercury conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. Conversations of a more serious or probing nature are likely now. We may feel compelled to get to the bottom of a matter. For you, a partner could be especially warm and docile just now. Setting matters straight makes sense.

August 18-19 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 19-21 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. We may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts we put forth. Improved concentration and focus, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help us to make steady progress. Dedication and commitment to our goals runs high. For you, partnership commitments come into focus.

August 26-27 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 28 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in early Pisces. The effect of this eclipse can last 3-6 months. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

August 28-29 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

July 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

Until the 23rd, the Sun continues to transit your solar sixth house, putting emphasis on "busy work", health, and self-improvement. Focusing on details rather than the big picture is likely during this cycle. It's an excellent time to organize your life. You're sure to notice all sorts of flaws in the systems of your life now, and that's just fine if you don't get bogged down by trivial matters.

From the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

July is a month in which work that requires sharp thinking skills, as well as any services you render, come into focus. Yesterday’s communication mishaps on the job are turned into new opportunities to improve your skills. Recognition for your work is what you crave, and it’s likely to arrive on the 10-11, 20^th, and 28^th--power days for you this month. Pour your energy into renovations around the house, or other efforts that help improve your domestic life, rather than bicker with loved ones over issues of space and freedom.

Mercury's retrograde period that began mid-June ends on July 9th. From the 9th until the 24th, we have a chance to revisit issues that stumped us during Mercury's retrograde period, and delays encountered begin to resolve.

Venus retrogrades on July 27th and stays in this apparent backward motion until September 8th. As Venus slows down in the last week of July, avoid making critical decisions about Venus-ruled areas of life, including love and social relationships, entertainment, beauty, and finances.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Venus, the Sun, Mars, and Mercury this month, on the 1-2, 10-11, 19-21, and 28-29, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 1-2, love matters figure strongly. Attracting who and what you want comes more easily to you now. Legal, educational, and travel matters figure prominently. On the 10-11, you enjoy increased personal influence and recognition or respect. This is also a strong period for attracting or enhancing a close partnership. On the 19-21,  you enjoy increased energy and enterprise. Smooth friendship or group association matters also figure now. A pleasant communication is likely on the 28-29, when romantic or pleasurable activities also figure. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 25-26 and 30-31, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 2 and 27. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 13-14, 17-19, 23-25, and 30, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1 and 28-29. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 18-19, 22-23, 25, and 30. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 10-11. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3, 6, 14, 17-19, and 25-26.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 4-5, 8-9, 13-14, and 21. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 3, 6, 10, 16, and 31, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 1, 7-9, and 20. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 19, 24, and 30-31, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your partnership sector until the 14th. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 14th. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury transits your solar sixth house all month. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle. Note that these matters could be tricky while Mercury is retrograde until the 9th, after which some sort of resolve is likely to take place.

Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house all month, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Highlights:

July 1-2 Operative energies include Venus conjunct Saturn and Mercury sextile Mars. Challenges in close relationships may come to light now, bringing up the need to make solid plans or re-commitments. Reformulating a budget may also become necessary now. It's a good period for a heart-to-heart, as we tend to speak clearly and directly. However, we should watch for overly practical perspectives on sensitive matters.

July 2-3 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 4-5 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 7-10 Operative energies include Venus trine Pluto, the Sun trine Uranus, and Mars sesquiquadrate Pluto. Powerful romantic and creative energies are with us now. Relationships, creative projects, or financial initiatives become more rich, meaningful, and intriguing. Freedom of expression, spontaneity, and creative license are important to us now. Don't let suspiciousness or negative thinking spoil the opportunities that arise now. With your ruler in harmonious aspect to the Sun, this is a strong period of recognition, perhaps even admiration, for you. This is also an excellent few days for partnering. Career matters are strong, and an opportunity to socialize on the job, or an invitation, can arise now. A tense communication, however, could also figure.

July 8-10 Mercury stations and turns direct on July 9th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get projects off the ground.

July 11-12 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 14 New Moon in Cancer in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon in August. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. 

July 15-16 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

July 22-23 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 23-26 Operative energies include Mercury semi-square Saturn, Mars square Neptune, and the Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus. Some tension is in the air now. It can be difficult to get a point across or to move about effortlessly. Others may be rebellious, resistant to change, or simply hard to pin down. Confusing news or communications could figure now. A clash with a partner could also be part of the picture. Beware of indiscriminate spending, and hold on to your possessions as you are more inclined to lose or misplace something now.

July 26-28 Venus stations and turns retrograde on July 27th. Venus will stay retrograde until September 8th--a period in which we re-assess our love relationships and finances. During this station, be particularly cautious in your dealings with people dear to you, as well as with money. Postpone major beauty treatments as well. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.

July 28-29 Mercury trines Uranus. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Insights seem to come from "out of the blue". Original, creative ideas are easy to come by now. For you, a pleasant surprise in the form of an invitation or outing could figure now. Others respect your opinions and ideas more than usual.

July 29-30 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 30 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

Until the 21st, the Sun continues to spotlight your solar fifth house--a time when pleasure-seeking activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally.

From the 21st, the Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

June is about romance, entertainment, and good times for you, Aquarius. Your creative abilities are at a peak during this phase of your life. Adventurous and perhaps speculative ventures appeal. Your inner restlessness craves an outlet through social, romantic, and possibly daring activities. Highly stimulating conversations allow you to brainstorm and come up with answers to problems that have previously divided you in your close relationships. Avoid jumping to conclusions on the 9th, and enjoy the excitement of a new romance or creative project on the 16th.

In the first half of the month, there is a strong emphasis on your fifth and eleventh house axis, and issues surrounding friendships, romance, creativity, business income, and children are in the foreground. Much activity surrounding these "departments" of your life is stimulated.

Mercury begins a retrograde cycle on June 15th and runs until July 9th. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either. Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you. Double-check your work. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

This month, Saturn and Neptune are in opposition for the final time. This energy first occurred in August 2006 (see our horoscope archives in August for an explanation of the conflict). Some sort of resolve of the conflict is in sight now, although getting to that point could involve some form of disillusionment.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to the Sun, Mars, and Venus this month, on the 11-12 and 30-July 1, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 11-12, energy flows smoothly, and you are able to take a stand or assert your wishes without stepping on anyone's toes. You are rewarded or recognized in some way now. Ego-boosting events are likely to occur. On the 30-July 1, loving, receptive energy is with you. It's time to attract what (and who!) you want. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 8-10 and 25-29, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. On the 8-10, you could easily feel deflated or experience an ego-bruising event. Encountering confusing circumstances or evasive people is likely on the 25-29. It's an inopportune to make final plans or to formalize anything during this period.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 12-14 and 19-20. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 4-5 and 28-30. A partner's finances or jointly-held assets could be tricky after the 15th.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 10-12 especially and lesser so on the 28. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, 4, and 29. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 6 and 11-13 especially. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 5, 9-10, 18-19, 21-22, and 28-29.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 10 and 18. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 22 and 26, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-5, 11-13, and 20-22. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 3, 18-19, and 28-29, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your solar sixth house until the 5th. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus journeys through your solar seventh house from the 5th. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury transits your solar sixth house all month. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle. However, these matters could be tricky while Mercury is retrograde from the 15th forward.

Mars continues to energize your solar third house until the 24th. Your communication style tends to be sharper, more direct and to the point, and it may be hard for you to bite your tongue when you see something that is amiss in your environment! As long as you direct these energies toward challenging mental tasks or work and avoid rushing and pushing your way through traffic, or provoking arguments over trifles, this position can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

Mars energizes your solar fourth house from the 24th. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.
 

Highlights:

June 3-6 Operative energies include the Sun trine Chiron and opposite Jupiter; Mars trine Jupiter and sextile Chiron; and Venus sesquiquadrate Jupiter. These influences produce a natural, enterprising spirit. Enthusiasm and confidence are with us now, and it's easy to tap into our more unique qualities and talents in order to go after what we want. However, we also have the tendency to over-reach. For you, this is an excellent period for strengthening communication with friends or groups, as well as for any business income generated through communications. Watch for overstating coming from a partner, however. The intention is likely good, but partners could promise more than they can deliver right now.

June 5-6 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

June 7-8 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 9 With the Sun and Venus in hard aspect to Uranus, watch for disruptions in personal relationships and general plans. Expect the unexpected! For you, these disruptions and surprises are likely to occur in the realms of close partnerships, travel plans, and domestic affairs. With your ruler involved, this could be a challenging day in which you feel underappreciated.

June 10-12 Operative energies include the Sun sextile Mars and Saturn, and Mars trine Saturn. We are able to creatively solve problems and to instinctively take action when necessary now. It's easy to stick to a specific task and make headway. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. This is a good time to temper our energy and to exercise better judgment, as well as to get and feel organized. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practical considerations are favored over impulsive decisions. For you, a partnership stabilizes and gives you a strong sense of purpose. Communications are rewarding, realistic, and productive. Business advice that works, or a communication about serious matters, could figure now. It's an excellent time to resolve a past matter.

June 13 Operative energies include the Sun trine Neptune and Mars sextile Neptune. Interesting synchronicities can occur now. We may be at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are "tuned in". Instinctual judgment is enhanced under these influences. This period favors dancing, swimming, photography, the arts, and entertainment--mediums in which we act upon our more spiritual or artistic inclinations. It's a time when we are guided by intuition more than reason. Taking action towards the attainment of a dream can also figure now. For you, interesting twists to your life story could occur now, particularly surrounding partnerships, negotiations, learning, and communications. Taking action on a financial matter can be rewarding.

June 13-14 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

June 14 New Moon in Gemini in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon in July. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period. 

June 14-16 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until July 9th--a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

June 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

June 25-26 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

June 29-30 Operative energies include Mars-Uranus, Sun-Saturn, Sun-Neptune, and Venus-Neptune hard aspects. The contrast between what is real and what is only a dream is explicit. It's best to avoid beginning a new project for the time being, as there is a lack of clarity now. For you, long-standing challenges regarding one-to-one relationships, dependencies, and personal freedom can reach a head now before final resolve. Disappointments and frustrations are likely. You are prone to impulsive, angry, or impatient behavior now. As well, disappointments regarding travel or education and overspending or excesses could be part of the picture now.

June 30 Full Moon in Capricorn in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

May 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. Until the 21st, the Sun continues to highlight your solar fourth house--a cycle in which home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you. Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heartwarming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner.

From the 21st, the Sun illuminates your solar fifth house. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. While you have been self-protective in the four weeks before this date, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

While family and home life figure prominently in May, working aggressively towards financial and career goals is a simultaneous focus. For the time being, avoid borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--as this can cause you some stress. You are turned to for advice in the first week of the month, when others especially admire your integrity and expertise. A romantic opportunity on the job is possible in the last week of the month, but it’s important to remember that your thinking is not completely clear now.

This month, Jupiter squares Uranus and trines Saturn. These long-term energies have been with us since January and March, respectively. A friend could be integral in achieving your goals, and partnering with a friend in some tangible way can be part of the picture now. You might also enjoy a more goal-oriented, free-spirited, and tolerant relationship with an existing partner--you tend to be "on the same page". Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. This trend lasts several months. However, there could be some problems concerning financial dealings with friends. Or, you could be borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--for the time being, which causes some stress. Clashes of values with friends or associates may also figure. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior. On the other hand, if you look for opportunities, you have more confidence and faith now to do something totally different, and inspiration may be found now. But do avoid blowing off responsibilities while you pursue your new vision.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to Mercury, the Sun, and Venus on the 5, 8-9, and 24-25, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 5th, intelligence is at its peak. You could be sought after for advice, to speak or teach, or to present an idea. Good news could come your way now. On the 8-9, you feel especially appreciated and acknowledged. This is a strong period for partnership matters as well. The 24-25 is strong for all things Venus--attracting love, gifts, or money! Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 10-11 and 20, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 1 and 22-23. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 7, 12-14, and 24. Still, on the 24-25, a gift or good financial news could come your way.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1-2, 8-9, 19-21 (with tension), 22-23, and 26. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 3-5, 7, 10, 27, and 29. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 8-9. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 3-4, 6-7, 10, 12-14 (especially), 19-20, and 27, when others may not see you in the best light!

Romantic Venus continues to warm your romance and pleasure sector until the 8th. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a genuine love of life, especially in romantic attachments, hobbies, personal pleasures, and social interests. Your infectious love of life and noble nature ensures social popularity, although, at times, you can be rather theatrical in order to hog the spotlight! You may be more inclined to show off your partner during this cycle. Appreciation of the arts is indicated. There is some predisposition to gambling or other forms of financial speculation now. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus brings warmth and grace to your solar sixth house from the 8th. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 11th. This is a time when you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 11-28. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.  You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

Mercury transits your solar sixth house from the 28th and into June--an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence.

Mars continues to activate your solar second house until the 15th. During this cycle, you are inclined to exert energy and initiative into making money and business dealings. You can be more resourceful than usual at this time, but you could also be inclined to rash decisions or risk-taking with money. Circumstances in life are likely to create a situation where you may have to take the lead in handling personal finances. You may be placed in a position where you have to make important monetary decisions yourself. If you have a business, it will be difficult to avoid spending lavishly on equipment and office supplies. A young man or an assertive type of individual may come up with challenging offers and new suggestions. You are more motivated to make money now. At the root of this is likely to be a quest for a sense of personal freedom. 

Mars energizes your solar third house from the 15th. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result. Channeled well, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions may become heated, or they may escalate into arguments, more easily. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas. A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time to work on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

Highlights:

May 1-2 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 2 Full Moon in Scorpio in your solar tenth house. You are suddenly in the limelight—everyone notices you now. It's time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you've been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You're called to perform, perhaps on a moment's notice, and it's best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence. A sudden job opportunity, or some form of assistance with regards to career, home, or property matters, could be part of the picture. This can also produce an event that requires you to take charge and show your responsible side.

May 3-5 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Mercury and in hard aspect with Pluto; and Mercury square Saturn. Our wants are aligned with our thoughts, and problem-solving comes naturally. What we say or write now has impact, for better or for worse! However, we are not very good at truly listening to what others have to say, and when we do, we tend to read between the lines with a negative slant. Our minds are investigative. Some of us could feel troubled or stressed with these influences. For you, power plays may occur with family members, children, partners, or romantic partners. Tension or concerns over partnerships matters could surface. Avoid the tendency to over-analyze or accuse.

May 7-9 Operative energies include Venus opposition Pluto; Sun square Saturn and sextile Uranus; Mercury square Neptune and sextile Mars. Intense social interactions are likely during this period. Frustrations involving blocked will and evasiveness can drive us to come up with creative solutions to problems now. For you, challenges or power struggles with a lover or friend could figure now. Tensions on the home front don't help matters. Still, this is a good period for receiving rewards or recognition.

May 8-9 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

May 11-12 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

May 12-14 Operative energies include Mars square Pluto, Sun square Neptune, and Venus sesquiquadrate Neptune. Our desires are intense and difficult to satisfy right now. Some disillusionments are likely, as we tend to see what we want to see rather than what is. For you, disappointments or disillusionments could occur now, particularly regarding money matters, intimacy, and career. Issues from the past could crop up through a communication that leaves you feeling tense.

May 16 New Moon in late Taurus in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon in June. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it's an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.

May 17-18 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

May 19-20 Operative energies include Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn, Sun inconjunct Pluto, and Mercury opposite Jupiter and square Uranus. There is a feeling of being blocked when we are attempting to go after what we want. Adjustments are necessary now in order for our lives to move forward. The need to make changes in our life that will further our psychological development arise now. Decision-making, however, may be based on unrealistic or overly optimistic premises. For you, being misunderstood, or actually misrepresenting yourself, could occur now. An unusual or upsetting communication could figure, particularly involving a partner.

May 21-22 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

May 25 Venus trines Uranus. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize. For you, this is a strong period for attracting who and what you want into your life. Personal magnetism is high, so take advantage.

May 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 31 Full Moon in Sagittarius in your solar eleventh house. You've been focusing on what brings you pleasure—your hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others' lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You're looking for validation from friends and group activities now. You may be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture. For example, a friend may experience a little crisis and asks for your help. You may suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

April 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. The Sun continues to transit your solar third house until the 20th. This is the time of year when you are especially busy with all sorts of "little things", more communicative, and more apt to be living in the mind. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections. Activities related to communications such as journalism, literature, speaking, etc., may figure more prominently in your life now than at other points in the year. Increased involvement with siblings, students, classmates, or neighbors may also figure. You invest much importance in your immediate environment now. This could also be a time of mental restlessness. The pace of your life may be a bit hectic now, and if you're not used to it, it could make you a tad nervous. You are more inclined to seek a broad understanding of people and of your immediate environment. Concentrating on listening, connecting, communicating, and learning is your best bet now.

The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home from the 20th and into May, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

April promises to be an especially busy month--plenty on your “to do” list. As long as you don’t succumb to tension, it can be a pleasant month in which you make new contacts and learn a great deal about the people in your life. Beware of impulse buys--although you possess considerable energy to make money, you are similarly inclined to spend it! Your personal magnetism is strong in the second half of the month. The last week of April brings a surprising communication about finances, and an unusual romantic or creative opportunity.

Jupiter retrogrades this month, kicking off a retrograde period that lasts until the first week of August, and involves some re-thinking of matters surrounding your friendships, group affiliations, and long-term aspirations. By August, you will be ready to move forward in these areas with gusto. Saturn's direct motion this month suggests that any stagnation you've been experiencing with close partnerships will begin to lift and these matters start to move forward. It's also a helpful influence for spiritual matters.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to Mercury and the Sun this month, representing opportunity periods for you. Increased authority, recognition, and powers of persuasion comes your way on the 1-5 when it makes sense to present your ideas or your case. It’s also a strong period for close partnerships and romantic matters. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 21-23, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. Challenges in close relationships could also figure.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 9-12 (especially) and 21-22. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 2-4, 14, and 24-25. Surprising circumstances are likely to surround your income or a personal possession on the 28-29.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1, 5-8, 19, 21-22, and 26. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2-4, 9-10, 12, 14, and 27-28. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-5, 7-12, and 18-19. Use these periods for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 1-2, 21-23, and 24-25.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-5, 14-19, 26. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 9-11, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 12th. Domestic relationships and the home environment appear to be satisfactory, harmonious, and serene at this time. There is a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Financial problems may be the only threat to your harmonious living. This can be avoided by living within your means and carefully enumerating expenditures.

Venus moves through your solar fifth house from the 12th. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury continues to transit your solar second house until the 10th. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

Mercury moves through your solar third house from the 10-27. Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now, and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

There is a new shift of activity developing within the home base from the 27th and into May, when Mercury transits your home and family sector.

From the 6th, Mars enlivens your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Highlights:

April 2 Full Moon in Libra in your solar ninth house. Relationships come into focus--dependency issues surface now. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you've been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you're going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.

April 4-5 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 7-8 Operative energies include Mercury sextile Venus and the Sun trine Saturn. This is a good time for us to take care of practical and "earthly" matters. Meeting responsibilities is satisfying now. For you, this is a strong period for strengthening relationships through conversation.

April 9-12 Operative energies include Sun trine Jupiter and sextile Neptune; and Mercury square Pluto. Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now, although a suspicious attitude or stance could also be part of the picture. For you, this is a strong period for communications with friends and in business. Happiness in a close partnership could also figure now. Romantic matters, however, could be challenging, with suspicions or negative expectations part of the picture.

April 11-12 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

April 13-14 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

April 17 New Moon late Aries in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon in May. The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general "busy-ness". This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy. 

April 18-19 Operative energies include Sun trine Pluto and Mercury sextile Chiron. Intensity of focus, healing conversations, and a renewed sense of purpose are with us now. For you, this is a strong period for friendships and communication. Strengthening ties with a close partner or friend figures now. Romantic energy is also strong.

April 19-20 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

April 21-22 Operative energies include Mercury trine Jupiter and Saturn and sextile Neptune. Strong productivity on mental levels characterizes this combination. It's a good period for coming up with successful business plans and strategies. This is yet another combination in April that is strong for stability in close relationships. It's also a good period for coming up with profitable ideas and improvements, business income, and romantic relationships.

April 24-25 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

April 26-30 A dynamic combination occurs now, involving a T-square between Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Uranus. Saturn and Neptune form harmonious angles to the Venus-Jupiter opposition. This exciting and possibly upsetting configuration stimulates your pleasure, romance, friendship, and financial sectors. Sudden and unexpected changes regarding personal finances or possessions are possible now. If you have been passive or nonchalant about business affairs, finances, and material security, you will need to take a more active role now. Increased ambition and enterprise are likely, but arguments over money are also more frequent than usual now. Sudden changes in your finances or your means of livelihood are possible. Some insecurity is likely for the time being, and romantic relationships, friendships, children, or creative projects are affected or involved.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

March 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. The Sun continues to transit your solar second house until the 20th. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector from the 20th, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Unexpected financial disruptions occur in the first week of March, when new initiatives involving money should be avoided. From the second week, money issues smooth over. From the 19th, and for a few months to come, a new beginning with finances and possessions is in store. This is a period in which managing your money becomes essential. Boosting your nest is recommended now. Partnership matters are strong this month. A warm and open conversation about your future together is likely to occur and does wonders for your state of mind.

From the 7th, Mercury turns direct and matters that have been stagnant for you begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 16th, when "all things Mercury" tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on March 27th. From the 16-27th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde, or to put into action ideas that came to us during this cycle. For you, communications with co-workers, lawyers, and professors resume with less confusion and more clarity.

Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 3rd at 13 degrees Virgo. Its opposition to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 19th at 28 degrees of Pisces. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from March 1-3 and then March 12-19th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 3rd stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse's status (or ex-spouse's status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.

The Solar Eclipse on the 19th marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income. A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

Jupiter trines Saturn this month, linking your seventh and eleventh houses in a pleasing way. This is a period of constructive accomplishment. We are practical, realistic, and our judgment is especially sound--and we derive much satisfaction from practical accomplishment. The key to harnessing this wonderful energy is to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make you happy. Friendships are especially supportive now and in the next few months. A friend could be integral in achieving your goals, and partnering with a friend in some tangible way can be part of the picture now. You might also enjoy a more goal-oriented, free-spirited, and tolerant relationship with an existing partner--you tend to be "on the same page". Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. This trend lasts several months.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to the Sun and Venus this month on the 2-5 and the 30-31, representing opportunity periods for you. Increased authority, recognition, and overall good will comes your way on the 2-5 when others appreciate exactly who you are. It’s also a strong period for personal finances and security matters. Romantic and/or financial gains occur on the 30-31. Other positive periods for you occur on the 8-9 and the 14-16. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 17-18 and 21-22. Feeling underappreciated or insecure is likely on the 17-18, when others don’t seem to recognize your true worth. Hasty or excessively willful behavior on the 21-22 can lead to frustrating circumstances.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 29-10 and 24-26. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided in the first week of the month and the 27th. Surprising circumstances are likely to surround your income or a personal possession on the 4-5.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1st, 4-6, and 15-18. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2nd and 7th. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-5, when unusual or surprising events are likely to arise. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 8-10, 18-22, and 24-31.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 1st and 16-17. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 15th, 19-20, and 28-29, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus transits your solar third house until the 17th, where her influence is lighthearted and easygoing. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Venus eases through your solar fourth house from the 17th. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Mercury transits your solar first house until the 18th. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now. Do be more cautious with your communications while Mercury is retrograde until the 7th, however. Be as clear as you can to avoid misunderstandings.

Mercury transits your solar second house from the 18th. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

All month, Mars enlivens your solar first house. You're on a roll, with loads of energy to spare. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't antagonize others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. This placement reacts strongly on a personal level, and circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities. You may experience a noticeable lack of cooperation from others. Exercise patience in driving, daily activities, and contact with others, as this planet can arouse the tendency toward carelessness, argumentativeness, and disputes. It is also associated with cuts, bruises, burns, migraine headaches, and accidents in rare instances. This position is strongest in influence from the 1-11.

Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 1-11, when Mars is on your Sun and you are filled with energy, verve, and vitality; and the 21-31, when life tends to flow smoothly with little interference.

Highlights:

February 28-March 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

March 1-3 Operative energies include Mercury sextile Pluto, Venus sextile Chiron, Mars semi-square Jupiter. New information begins to come to light, and we have the power to heal our social relationships. Because this period occurs just before a lunar eclipse, hold off on finalizing any deals or plans if you can, however. But do pay attention to the information that surfaces now. For you, watch for hasty words and communications. Otherwise, you can enjoy pleasing family relations and a strong career position. A partner's income may receive a boost, and a deep conversation with a lover gives you a strong sense of purposefulness.

March 3 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in your solar eighth house. Flaws in an important system in your life come to light. The effects of this eclipse last for six months. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.

March 4-5 The Sun conjuncts Uranus in your solar second house. Sudden changes in your finances or your means of livelihood are possible now. Sudden windfalls or reversals are possible. You may either be feeling insecure about financial matters, or impulsive, willing to take a risk.

March 8-9 Operative energies include Venus trine Jupiter and Saturn, Venus sextile Neptune, and Sun square Jupiter. This is an especially strong influence for creative output and is also excellent for cementing relationships. Because the grand trine affects your relationship sectors, this is a strong period for partnerships and friendships. It's also good for finances and family matters.

March 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

March 15-16 Operative energies include Mars conjunct Chiron, Mercury sextile Venus, and Venus trine Pluto. Gaining new perspectives on romantic and sexual relationships, or on creative projects, occurs now. We seek out others, but won't settle for superficial connections. This can be a time of epiphanies and release of suppressed energies. Important contracts and new beginnings, however, are best avoided until after the Solar Eclipse on the 18th.

March 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

March 17-18 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

March 18 New Moon Solar Eclipse in late Pisces in your solar second house affects you for the next six months. A time to focus on goals involving compassion, letting go of the past, and acceptance. Nagging problems from the past six months need to be dealt with and put behind you. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors. 

March 22-25 A mixed bag of energies operant now brings challenges as well as enlightenment. Mars in your eleventh house opposes Saturn, sextiles Jupiter, and conjuncts Neptune.

March 23-24 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

March 28-29 Venus forms tense angles to Chiron and Pluto. This is a less than ideal period for financial transactions and for social relationships. Tensions derived from lack of trust are likely now. For you, challenges that relate to doubts and suspicions with romantic partners or family members can occur now. Avoid manipulative or guarded behavior.

March 28-29 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

February 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. Until the 19th, the Sun continues to highlight your solar first house--a transit that began in January. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great period in which to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. You are in the position to make an impression on others. You have presence and you project confidence.

From the 19th, the Sun illuminates your solar second house, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Income from career and business is likely to improve this month, perhaps in surprising ways. Using new techniques and technologies to create new sources of income can be successful. As progressive as you are, problems from the past occupy your thoughts, and tying up loose ends is in order. Demands from a partnership or close personal relationship become more pressing around the 2nd and come to a head on the 10th. Your recent lack of motivation could be the topic. However, your energy levels increase towards the end of February and into March.

This month, Mercury retrogrades from the 13th forward (until March 7th). Mercury retrograde cycles are periods in which communications and transportation matters don't go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar first and second houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives and body language. Reviewing your budget rather than jumping into new purchases is in order now. Go over any financial documents carefully. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, lawyers, and professors; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms some pleasing connections with Venus and Mars this month on the 2-4 and 7-8. These represent opportunity periods for you. The 2-4 offers you increased will, desire, energy, and confidence to pursue your goals with vigor. It's also strong for communications of all kinds. The 7-8 is an especially auspicious period in which you are able to attract what (and who!) you want into your life quite naturally. You may be noticed (someone could express a strong interest in you) and appreciated now. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the  23-25, when impulsiveness and aggression could have consequences.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 1-3 (more likely through a partner or taxes, loans, and other second-party sources) and 7-8. A financial surprise (a pleasant one!) is likely on the 7-8. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 25 and 27-28.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1-3 and 8-10 in particular, as well as the 19-20. These represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 17-18. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-4, 7-8 (although confusion may be part of the picture), and the 16-19r. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 2 and 10.

Career and reputation matters run especially well on the 1, 7, and 16-17. Challenges with these matters are more likely on the 2 and 19-20, when you may not be seen in an especially favorable light by superiors or the public.

Venus transits your solar second house until the 21st. As the natural ruler of this sector of the chart, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it--you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Venus transits your solar third house from the 21st. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mercury moves through your solar second house all month. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications. Do be more cautious with your communications and with these matters while Mercury is retrograde from the 13th through to March 7th, however. Be as clear as you can to avoid misunderstandings.

Mars continues to activate your solar twelfth house until the 26th, indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Mars energizes your solar first house from the 26th, and you experience a real up-swing in energy levels.

Overall, the best period of the month for you is the 21-28, when your natural charm shines and is generally appreciated. As well, you have added energy and dynamism towards the last couple days of the month and into March.

Highlights:

February 1-2 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

February 2 Full Moon in Leo in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

February 3-4 The Sun sextiles Jupiter and Mars sextiles Uranus. This is a strong period for learning, growth, advancement, and adventurous activities. It's favorable for marketing, publishing, and advertising, as well as any self-promotion activities. We may be especially sociable, tolerant, and generous. Confidence comes from a stronger sense of who we are and the principles we represent, as well as an ability to take healthy and reasonable risks. For you, increased confidence is with you--it's a brief but energizing period.

February 7-8 The Sun conjuncts Neptune and Venus conjuncts Uranus. This is a "make a wish" day. Spiritual goals come into focus. As well, bringing a spirit of friendship and freedom into close personal relationships is featured. For you, some confusion is possible surrounding your own personal goals. An unexpected financial development is also likely.

February 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

February 10 The Sun in your first house opposes Saturn in your seventh house. Restrictions from a close partnership, and how these affect your personal expression and goals, come into focus now. Avoid new initiatives now if you can.

February 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

February 18 New Moon in late Aquarius in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon. A time to focus on goals involving friendships, long-term happiness, dreams, and wishes. This New Moon placement is a powerful one—it's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

February 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

February 24-25 Tense angles include Mars-Uranus, Venus-Neptune, and Venus-Saturn. Relations are likely to be tense. Disillusionments with finances as well as personal relationships are possible. Reckless behavior has consequences. Frustrations revolving around home and family are possible for you.

February 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

February 28-March 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:

January 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. Until the 20th, the Sun moves through your solar twelfth house, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house on the 20th.

From the 20th, the Sun illuminates your solar first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.

The year begins charmingly for you. An easygoing energy is with you this month--a pleasing balance of activity and rest, self-assertion and compromise, work and pleasure. Any matter that requires people skills, charm, and verbal prowess is favored from mid-month, when you are especially convincing. A project or investment that you may have given up on could surprise you with some movement and possible returns. Life moves along quite flowingly for you right now, and it’s best to appreciate the smooth energy than to take it for granted.

This month, the first of three Jupiter-Uranus squares occurs, placing some tension between your eleventh and second houses, from now through October. There could be some problems concerning financial dealings with friends. Or, you could be borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--for the time being, which causes some stress. Clashes of values with friends or associates may also figure. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior. On the other hand, if you look for opportunities, you have more confidence and faith now to do something totally different, and inspiration may be found now. But do avoid blowing off responsibilities while you pursue your new vision.

This month, the Sun, Venus, and Mercury align with Chiron in your solar first house. You may enjoy key opportunity periods that boost your self-confidence, and do wonders for your ego and your relationships, particularly if your relationships or your own confidence in the way you present yourself to others is in need of healing. The key now is not overstating yourself.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms a pleasing connection with Mercury on the 3-4--an opportunity period for you that allows you to express yourself creatively and spontaneously. Another opportunity period occurs for you on the 7-9, when your co-ruler, Saturn, trines Mars, boosting your ability to assert yourself with confidence and to go after what you truly want. Red-flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 1, 13, 16-18, and 20-24. Feeling underappreciated or at odds with someone over values is likely on the 1st, and the 16-18 is a period when you are prone to wounded pride and/or difficulties with a close partner.

Better periods for personal finances occur on the 1, 18-19, and 26. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 21-22. A partner's income, or money from other sources than your own personal income, can enjoy a boost around the 20-22, however.

Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 3-8, 16-22 (and especially the 20-22), 26, and 31. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Small issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2, 11-13, and 28. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. Committed partnerships enjoy positive energy on the 1, 5-8, and especially the 29-30. These are also strong periods for negotiations, particularly those that are one-on-one. Tensions or disappointments in partnerships are more likely on the 13-18.

Career and reputation matters run more smoothly on the 7-9, 12-14, 18-19, 25-26, and 31; and they more easily run into snags on the 22 and 27.

From the 4-28, Venus moves through your solar first house. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative.

Until the 15th, Mercury transits your solar twelfth house. Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues during this cycle. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid being dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

From the 15th, Mercury journeys through your solar first house. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Mars continues to transit your solar eleventh house until the 16th. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

From the 16th, Mars transits your solar twelfth house. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Overall, the best period of the month for you is the 20-30, when the world seems to be playing in your style and matters tend to run the most smoothly. Use the 15-21 to present your ideas or plans, and the 4-12 to smooth over differences with others. The 4-12 is especially strong for personal charm.

Highlights:

December 31-January 1 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 1-2 Jupiter sextiles Chiron, the Sun sextiles Uranus, and Mars sextiles Neptune. This is a creative period for all--one in which we can find new insights into old problems. Willingness to embrace change is the key to success now. This is a good period for positive feedback from others. Career and reputation matters run well, and an opportunity to attract or enhance a partnership arises.

January 3 Full Moon in Cancer in your solar sixth house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on December 20th occurs now. You look in the mirror and say, "That's it! I'm starting that exercise program". You crush out a cigarette with disgust and decide to quit smoking. You throw up your arms and say that you can't take how your boss has been treating you. These are just some examples of a Full Moon transiting your sixth house. If it activates other personal planets, or if it's an eclipse, the more intense or dramatic your proclamations will be. Of course, you don't necessarily need to burst forth with emotional declarations, especially if you plan in advance. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.

January 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 6-8 The Sun and Mercury align and Mars trines Saturn. These planetary influences suggest rational, logical, and productive energy. We are actively communicating, and our work takes on definite shape. This is a good time to temper our energy and to exercise better judgment. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. For you, this can be a time of much energy and productiveness. You may have an important discussion about the past or a hidden matter could come to light. This is an active period for partnerships. A spirit of friendship is brought to an existing close partnership, or a new partnership could blossom from a friendship or group association.

January 10-12 Venus joins with Chiron and sextiles Jupiter. This is a healing and friendly energy--an excellent time to socialize, promote cooperation, spend time with romantic partners, and to initiate a new relationship or friendship. It's also very strong for financial matters. For you, a friendly connection can be made now, particularly through group associations.

January 12-13 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

January 13-14 Mars joins with Pluto and Venus semi-squares both planets; Mercury semi-squares Uranus. Keywords for this period include intense, passionate, rebellious, and obsessive! Tense interplays between lovers are quite likely now, and the inclination to rebel against routine or expectations is strong. Harness the energy of Mars-Pluto by pouring your energy into a pet project. Sexual relations now can be very intense. Competitive energy is powerful. For you, attention to a matter with a friend, a group project, or your business income becomes necessary. Jealousies or power struggles may come into play now. Watch for overly blunt communications. As tempting as it may be, avoid speculative ventures for the time being.

January 18 New Moon in late Capricorn in your solar twelfth house affects you until the next New Moon. A time to focus on long-term goals and projects and to formulate career and business plans. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one's spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house—a period that is more active and busy than this one. 

January 18-20 Venus joins with Neptune and Mercury conjoins Chiron. This can be a very romantic time, although the tendency can be towards seeing what we want to see rather than what is, so romantic mirages are possible now. Kind, healing words and communications are also featured now. A good time to discover new or alternative health procedures and regimes. Soft, pleasant energy dominates. For you, your personal magnetism skyrockets. Pay attention to synchronicities that occur now. An important conversation or communication with or from a lover or child can come now. Words can heal.

January 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 21-22 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

January 25-26 Venus sextiles Pluto and Mercury aligns with Neptune. An excellent period for romantic and artistic expression. However, don't expect communications to be right-brain, logical, or clear! It's best to delay important decisions. A good period for romance and dreamy conversations. For you, an unusual or mysterious circumstance surrounding a romance may occur now. This is a strong period for intuition, family affairs, and friendships. A friend may offer assistance.

January 27-28 Mercury and Mars form challenging angles to Saturn. This can be a tense period in which hitting brick walls is likely. Delay important discussions and avoid beginning new projects, which could be riddled with frustrations and complications down the road.

January 28-29 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 30-31 The Sun joins Chiron and Mercury sextiles Pluto. An excellent period for coming up with innovative new techniques, socializing, and gaining perspective on our long-term goals. It's easy to resolve problems, particularly old, nagging ones, and to cooperate with others in a balanced manner. For you, this is a strong period for all partnership and romantic matters.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

September 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

The Sun energizes your sector of  transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes all month. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

In September, stimulating activity along romantic, pleasurable, and creative lines continues to enliven your life, dear Aquarius. Career matters begin to move forward with pleasing results, as do travel and educational plans. Family relationships and domestic life are strong. A close partnership intensifies. Whether this makes you feel more deeply connected or it challenges you with mini relationship crises depends on how you feel about this increased intimacy! Issues of intimate sharing as well as joint finances come into high focus, demanding attention now and in the months to come.

Venus turns direct on the 8th, and Venus-ruled areas of life begin to move forward. Love, appreciation, and the need for companionship are expressed more naturally and readily from this point forward.

A Solar Eclipse in Virgo occurs on September 11th. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from September 4th to 11th. This Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it's time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Mars and Mercury this month on the 6, 13-15, and 30, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 6th, creative energy is on your side. Your spirit is pioneering. Communications go well, or you receive some good news. On the 13-15 and 30-1, you may be asked for advice, communications flow smoothly, you are able to rationalize and solve problems, and romantic connections can be made. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior occur on the 2-4, 9-10, 16, and 28, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 7-10 and 18-19. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 3-4, 12-13, 20-22, and 27-28, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 12-14, 17-19, 23-26, and 30-1. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2-3, 6, 8, 16, and 28. These would be less than ideal days on which to have a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 1-2. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3-4, 9-10, 12-13, 16-19, and 27-28.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1, 6-8, 13-14, 18, 22, and 27. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 3, 11-12, 17, 19, and 26, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4, 7-9, 23-24, and 26-27. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 2-3, 17-19, and 20-22, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your seventh house all month. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Mercury continues to transit your eighth house until the 12th. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mercury transits your ninth house from the 12th. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind is on bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house all month. During this cycle, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement, and pleasure in general. You have a likeable, competitive, and almost flamboyant temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire for creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

Highlights:

September 4-5 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 7-8 Venus and Pluto turn direct after retrograde periods. These influences represent matters moving forward after a period of introspection and/or lag. For you, career and reputation matters, travel plans, education, and family matters begin to turn around after a period of review or lag. Slowdowns in these areas begin to lift.

September 8-9 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 11 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo in your solar eighth house affects you now and for months to come. Unexpected events necessitate the need for new beginnings. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

September 16-17 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 19-21 Mars opposes Pluto, Venus opposes Neptune, and the Sun is challenged by both Pluto and Chiron. Battles begun now are lose-lose situations. Avoid beating a dead horse and attempting to force matters that should naturally take time to unfold. Circumstances now can push us to discover our own power--power that comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do. We are not seeing our finances or love relationships clearly just now. For you, a partner could be going through a challenging time, or may simply be frustrated with the relationship. Be patient. An especially busy time on the job is likely now. Avoid impatience with those around you. Financial initiatives should be held off if possible.

September 23-24 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 24-26 Mercury sextile Pluto and trine Mars. This is a great time for enjoying meaningful entertainment or romance. It's also strong for career and presenting important ideas.

September 25-26 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 26 A Full Moon occurs today in early Aries in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

August 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

All month, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Partnering, romantic expression, and negotiations are the hot topics in August for you, dear Aquarius. Romantic and creative matters become pressing or heated. Impulsive attractions, or a sudden desire to breathe new life into existing relationships, figure in the second half of the month. Travel or education plans require revision before they can be put into action. Friendships thrive and partnerships get top billing, particularly on the 21-22. An important financial matter comes to light in the last week of the month.

Venus continues to retrograde all month and until September 8th. For the time being, avoid making critical decisions about Venus-ruled areas of life, including love and social relationships, entertainment, beauty, and finances. Read more about Venus Retrograde here.

This month, Leo and Sagittarius houses are emphasized. The Sun, Mercury, and Venus all align with Saturn and trine Pluto at various points in the month. As well, Jupiter in Sagittarius turns direct on the 6th. This affects your seventh and eleventh houses. Emphasis is on partnering--the serious elements of it. It's time to make a plan to improve this area of your life. It may feel like work, but accepting responsibility and the determination to "clean up" your life on the level of relating one-to-one will bring rewards. Friendships and group associations can be fortified this month as well.

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on August 28th in the early degrees of Pisces. The "crisis" that eclipses such as this one tend to elicit is a crisis of lack--a time when we suddenly realize a great need or want. This eclipse can trigger awareness of need in an area of our lives, such as our relationship to work, to our health and bodies, and so forth. This is a time when matters come to light--things that have been brewing under the surface. With the Virgo-Pisces service axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants in our lives. We are pushed to find a balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces). Virgo rules the tools and techniques that we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces rules the tools that we use to deal with our spiritual selves. Epiphanies are likely at this time as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into positive action. Full Moons and Lunar Eclipses bring issues in our lives to fulfillment. Our emotions are heightened, and there is often some sort of drama involved with the house, sign, and any contacted planets activated by the Full Moon. Occurring in your second house, you may get a cosmic push to make necessary financial changes in your life. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Mercury and the Sun this month, on the 18 and 21-22, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 18th, communications figure strongly. An important conversation or piece of news is part of the picture now. On the 21-22, you enjoy increased personal influence and recognition or respect. This is also a strong period for attracting or enhancing a close partnership. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 1-2, 6, 10-11, 13, and 28, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. On the 1-2, you are likely to encounter aggressive or willful situations or people.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 2 and 9. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 13-14, 17-19, 23-25, and 30, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 3, 9, and 17-18. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, 6, 10, 13-14, 24-25, 28, and 30. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 1-2 and especially the 15-22. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3-5, 10-11, and 13-14.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 3-4, 9-10, 12, 16-18, 26, and 31. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 5, 20, and 28, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-7, 12-14, 18, and 21-22. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, when others may not see you in the best light!

Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house until the 9th--a very productive position for Mercury. List-making, organizing, and analyzing are the focus now. Use this energy in a positive manner by organizing the important systems in your life.

Mercury transits your solar seventh house from the 9-24. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.

Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 24th. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mars moves through your fourth house until the 23rd, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Mars energizes your solar fifth house from the 23rd. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:

August 1-2 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 2-3 Operative energies include the Sun trine Jupiter and Mercury sextile Mars. The tendency to take the high road in our relations with others dominates now. We more easily assert ourselves and our needs without causing a stir. For you, a blast of positive energy regarding partnerships helps you out now. This is also a stimulating time for you romantically speaking.

August 8-9 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 12 New Moon in Leo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon in September. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public. 

August 12-13 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 12-15 Operative energies include Neptune opposing a Sun-Mercury conjunction; and Venus conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. Relationship or financial tests are likely now, but act to improve matters considerably in the long run. Be wary of what others are saying, of what you read, and of what you perceive during this period. Avoid making premature decisions until Neptune's veil lifts. Partnership and negotiation matters come into strong focus. However, you could find that a significant other is coming down on you and wanting answers. Your tendency just now is to be evasive. Confusing circumstances surrounding your close relationships are likely now.

August 17-19 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Venus; and Mercury conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. Conversations of a more serious or probing nature are likely now. We may feel compelled to get to the bottom of a matter. For you, a partner could be especially warm and docile just now. Setting matters straight makes sense.

August 19-20 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 19-21 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. We may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts we put forth. Improved concentration and focus, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help us to make steady progress. Dedication and commitment to our goals runs high. For you, partnership commitments come into focus.

August 26-27 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 28 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in early Pisces. The effect of this eclipse can last 3-6 months. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

August 29-30 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

July 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

The Sun illuminates your sixth house all month. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

July is a month in which work that requires sharp thinking skills, as well as any services you render, come into focus. Yesterday’s communication mishaps on the job are turned into new opportunities to improve your skills. Recognition for your work is what you crave, and it’s likely to arrive on the 10-11, 20^th, and 28^th--power days for you this month. Pour your energy into renovations around the house, or other efforts that help improve your domestic life, rather than bicker with loved ones over issues of space and freedom.

Mercury's retrograde period that began mid-June ends on July 9th. From the 9th until the 24th, we have a chance to revisit issues that stumped us during Mercury's retrograde period, and delays encountered begin to resolve.

Venus retrogrades on July 27th and stays in this apparent backward motion until September 8th. As Venus slows down in the last week of July, avoid making critical decisions about Venus-ruled areas of life, including love and social relationships, entertainment, beauty, and finances.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Venus, the Sun, Mars, and Mercury this month, on the 1-2, 10-11, 19-21, and 28-29, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 1-2, love matters figure strongly. Attracting who and what you want comes more easily to you now. Legal, educational, and travel matters figure prominently. On the 10-11, you enjoy increased personal influence and recognition or respect. This is also a strong period for attracting or enhancing a close partnership. On the 19-21,  you enjoy increased energy and enterprise. Smooth friendship or group association matters also figure now. A pleasant communication is likely on the 28-29, when romantic or pleasurable activities also figure. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 25-26 and 30-31, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 2 and 27. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 13-14, 17-19, 23-25, and 30, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1 and 28-29. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 18-19, 22-23, 25, and 30. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 10-11. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3, 6, 14, 17-19, and 25-26.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 4-5, 8-9, 13-14, and 21. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 3, 6, 10, 16, and 31, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 1, 7-9, and 20. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 19, 24, and 30-31, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your partnership sector all month. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Mercury transits your solar sixth house all month. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle. Note that these matters could be tricky while Mercury is retrograde until the 9th, after which some sort of resolve is likely to take place.

Mars energizes your solar fourth house from the 8th. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Highlights:

July 1-2 Operative energies include Venus conjunct Saturn and Mercury sextile Mars. Challenges in close relationships may come to light now, bringing up the need to make solid plans or re-commitments. Reformulating a budget may also become necessary now. It's a good period for a heart-to-heart, as we tend to speak clearly and directly. However, we should watch for overly practical perspectives on sensitive matters.

July 3-4 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 5-6 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 4-5 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 7-10 Operative energies include Venus trine Pluto, the Sun trine Uranus, and Mars sesquiquadrate Pluto. Powerful romantic and creative energies are with us now. Relationships, creative projects, or financial initiatives become more rich, meaningful, and intriguing. Freedom of expression, spontaneity, and creative license are important to us now. Don't let suspiciousness or negative thinking spoil the opportunities that arise now. With your ruler in harmonious aspect to the Sun, this is a strong period of recognition, perhaps even admiration, for you. This is also an excellent few days for partnering. Career matters are strong, and an opportunity to socialize on the job, or an invitation, can arise now. A tense communication, however, could also figure.

July 8-10 Mercury stations and turns direct on July 9th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get projects off the ground.

July 11-12 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 14 New Moon in Cancer in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon in August. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. 

July 16-17 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

July 23-24 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 23-26 Operative energies include Mercury semi-square Saturn, Mars square Neptune, and the Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus. Some tension is in the air now. It can be difficult to get a point across or to move about effortlessly. Others may be rebellious, resistant to change, or simply hard to pin down. Confusing news or communications could figure now. A clash with a partner could also be part of the picture. Beware of indiscriminate spending, and hold on to your possessions as you are more inclined to lose or misplace something now.

July 26-28 Venus stations and turns retrograde on July 27th. Venus will stay retrograde until September 8th--a period in which we re-assess our love relationships and finances. During this station, be particularly cautious in your dealings with people dear to you, as well as with money. Postpone major beauty treatments as well. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.

July 28-29 Mercury trines Uranus. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Insights seem to come from "out of the blue". Original, creative ideas are easy to come by now. For you, a pleasant surprise in the form of an invitation or outing could figure now. Others respect your opinions and ideas more than usual.

July 30 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

July 30-31 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

The Sun illuminates your fifth house for the next month or so. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

June is about romance, entertainment, and good times for you, Aquarius. Your creative abilities are at a peak during this phase of your life. Adventurous and perhaps speculative ventures appeal. Your inner restlessness craves an outlet through social, romantic, and possibly daring activities. Highly stimulating conversations allow you to brainstorm and come up with answers to problems that have previously divided you in your close relationships. Avoid jumping to conclusions on the 9th, and enjoy the excitement of a new romance or creative project on the 16th.

In the first half of the month, there is a strong emphasis on your fifth and eleventh house axis, and issues surrounding friendships, romance, creativity, business income, and children are in the foreground. Much activity surrounding these "departments" of your life is stimulated.

Mercury begins a retrograde cycle on June 15th and runs until July 9th. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either. Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you. Double-check your work. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

This month, Saturn and Neptune are in opposition for the final time. This energy first occurred in August 2006 (see our horoscope archives in August for an explanation of the conflict). Some sort of resolve of the conflict is in sight now, although getting to that point could involve some form of disillusionment.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to the Sun, Mars, and Venus this month, on the 11-12 and 30-July 1, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 11-12, energy flows smoothly, and you are able to take a stand or assert your wishes without stepping on anyone's toes. You are rewarded or recognized in some way now. Ego-boosting events are likely to occur. On the 30-July 1, loving, receptive energy is with you. It's time to attract what (and who!) you want. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 8-10 and 25-29, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. On the 8-10, you could easily feel deflated or experience an ego-bruising event. Encountering confusing circumstances or evasive people is likely on the 25-29. It's an inopportune to make final plans or to formalize anything during this period.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 12-14 and 19-20. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 4-5 and 28-30. A partner's finances or jointly-held assets could be tricky after the 15th.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 10-12 especially and lesser so on the 28. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, 4, and 29. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 6 and 11-13 especially. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 5, 9-10, 18-19, 21-22, and 28-29.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 10 and 18. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 22 and 26, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-5, 11-13, and 20-22. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 3, 18-19, and 28-29, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your solar sixth house until the 16th. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus journeys through your solar seventh house from the 16th. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury transits near the cusp of your solar sixth house all month. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle. However, these matters could be tricky while Mercury is retrograde from the 15th forward.

Mars energizes your solar third house all month. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result. Channeled well, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions may become heated, or they may escalate into arguments, more easily. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas. A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time to work on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
 

Highlights:

June 3-6 Operative energies include the Sun trine Chiron and opposite Jupiter; Mars trine Jupiter and sextile Chiron; and Venus sesquiquadrate Jupiter. These influences produce a natural, enterprising spirit. Enthusiasm and confidence are with us now, and it's easy to tap into our more unique qualities and talents in order to go after what we want. However, we also have the tendency to over-reach. For you, this is an excellent period for strengthening communication with friends or groups, as well as for any business income generated through communications. Watch for overstating coming from a partner, however. The intention is likely good, but partners could promise more than they can deliver right now.

June 5-6 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

June 8-9 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 9 With the Sun and Venus in hard aspect to Uranus, watch for disruptions in personal relationships and general plans. Expect the unexpected! For you, these disruptions and surprises are likely to occur in the realms of close partnerships, travel plans, and domestic affairs. With your ruler involved, this could be a challenging day in which you feel underappreciated.

June 10-12 Operative energies include the Sun sextile Mars and Saturn, and Mars trine Saturn. We are able to creatively solve problems and to instinctively take action when necessary now. It's easy to stick to a specific task and make headway. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. This is a good time to temper our energy and to exercise better judgment, as well as to get and feel organized. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practical considerations are favored over impulsive decisions. For you, a partnership stabilizes and gives you a strong sense of purpose. Communications are rewarding, realistic, and productive. Business advice that works, or a communication about serious matters, could figure now. It's an excellent time to resolve a past matter.

June 13 Operative energies include the Sun trine Neptune and Mars sextile Neptune. Interesting synchronicities can occur now. We may be at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are "tuned in". Instinctual judgment is enhanced under these influences. This period favors dancing, swimming, photography, the arts, and entertainment--mediums in which we act upon our more spiritual or artistic inclinations. It's a time when we are guided by intuition more than reason. Taking action towards the attainment of a dream can also figure now. For you, interesting twists to your life story could occur now, particularly surrounding partnerships, negotiations, learning, and communications. Taking action on a financial matter can be rewarding.

June 14 New Moon in Gemini in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon in July. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period. 

June 14-15 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

June 14-16 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until July 9th--a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

June 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

June 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now.

Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

June 25-26 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

June 29-30 Operative energies include Mars-Uranus, Sun-Saturn, Sun-Neptune, and Venus-Neptune hard aspects. The contrast between what is real and what is only a dream is explicit. It's best to avoid beginning a new project for the time being, as there is a lack of clarity now. For you, long-standing challenges regarding one-to-one relationships, dependencies, and personal freedom can reach a head now before final resolve. Disappointments and frustrations are likely. You are prone to impulsive, angry, or impatient behavior now. As well, disappointments regarding travel or education and overspending or excesses could be part of the picture now.

June 30 Full Moon in Capricorn in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

May 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home all month, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

While family and home life figure prominently in May, working aggressively towards financial and career goals is a simultaneous focus. For the time being, avoid borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--as this can cause you some stress. You are turned to for advice in the first week of the month, when others especially admire your integrity and expertise. A romantic opportunity on the job is possible in the last week of the month, but it’s important to remember that your thinking is not completely clear now.

This month, Jupiter squares Uranus and trines Saturn. These long-term energies have been with us since January and March, respectively. A friend could be integral in achieving your goals, and partnering with a friend in some tangible way can be part of the picture now. You might also enjoy a more goal-oriented, free-spirited, and tolerant relationship with an existing partner--you tend to be "on the same page". Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. This trend lasts several months. However, there could be some problems concerning financial dealings with friends. Or, you could be borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--for the time being, which causes some stress. Clashes of values with friends or associates may also figure. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior. On the other hand, if you look for opportunities, you have more confidence and faith now to do something totally different, and inspiration may be found now. But do avoid blowing off responsibilities while you pursue your new vision.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to Mercury, the Sun, and Venus on the 5, 8-9, and 24-25, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 5th, intelligence is at its peak. You could be sought after for advice, to speak or teach, or to present an idea. Good news could come your way now. On the 8-9, you feel especially appreciated and acknowledged. This is a strong period for partnership matters as well. The 24-25 is strong for all things Venus--attracting love, gifts, or money! Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 10-11 and 20, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 1 and 22-23. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 7, 12-14, and 24. Still, on the 24-25, a gift or good financial news could come your way.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1-2, 8-9, 19-21 (with tension), 22-23, and 26. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 3-5, 7, 10, 27, and 29. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 8-9. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 3-4, 6-7, 10, 12-14 (especially), 19-20, and 27, when others may not see you in the best light!

Romantic Venus continues to warm your romance and pleasure sector until the 18th. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a genuine love of life, especially in romantic attachments, hobbies, personal pleasures, and social interests. Your infectious love of life and noble nature ensures social popularity, although, at times, you can be rather theatrical in order to hog the spotlight! You may be more inclined to show off your partner during this cycle. Appreciation of the arts is indicated. There is some predisposition to gambling or other forms of financial speculation now. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus brings warmth and grace to your solar sixth house from the 18th. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 2-16. This is a time when you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 16th. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.  You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

Mars continues to activate your solar second house until the 29th. During this cycle, you are inclined to exert energy and initiative into making money and business dealings. You can be more resourceful than usual at this time, but you could also be inclined to rash decisions or risk-taking with money. Circumstances in life are likely to create a situation where you may have to take the lead in handling personal finances. You may be placed in a position where you have to make important monetary decisions yourself. If you have a business, it will be difficult to avoid spending lavishly on equipment and office supplies. A young man or an assertive type of individual may come up with challenging offers and new suggestions. You are more motivated to make money now. At the root of this is likely to be a quest for a sense of personal freedom. 

Highlights:

May 2 Full Moon in Scorpio in your solar tenth house. You are suddenly in the limelight—everyone notices you now. It's time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you've been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You're called to perform, perhaps on a moment's notice, and it's best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence. A sudden job opportunity, or some form of assistance with regards to career, home, or property matters, could be part of the picture. This can also produce an event that requires you to take charge and show your responsible side.

May 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 3-5 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Mercury and in hard aspect with Pluto; and Mercury square Saturn. Our wants are aligned with our thoughts, and problem-solving comes naturally. What we say or write now has impact, for better or for worse! However, we are not very good at truly listening to what others have to say, and when we do, we tend to read between the lines with a negative slant. Our minds are investigative. Some of us could feel troubled or stressed with these influences. For you, power plays may occur with family members, children, partners, or romantic partners. Tension or concerns over partnerships matters could surface. Avoid the tendency to over-analyze or accuse.

May 7-9 Operative energies include Venus opposition Pluto; Sun square Saturn and sextile Uranus; Mercury square Neptune and sextile Mars. Intense social interactions are likely during this period. Frustrations involving blocked will and evasiveness can drive us to come up with creative solutions to problems now. For you, challenges or power struggles with a lover or friend could figure now. Tensions on the home front don't help matters. Still, this is a good period for receiving rewards or recognition.

May 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

May 11-12 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

May 12-14 Operative energies include Mars square Pluto, Sun square Neptune, and Venus sesquiquadrate Neptune. Our desires are intense and difficult to satisfy right now. Some disillusionments are likely, as we tend to see what we want to see rather than what is. For you, disappointments or disillusionments could occur now, particularly regarding money matters, intimacy, and career. Issues from the past could crop up through a communication that leaves you feeling tense.

May 16 New Moon in late Taurus in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon in June. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it's an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.

May 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

May 19-20 Operative energies include Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn, Sun inconjunct Pluto, and Mercury opposite Jupiter and square Uranus. There is a feeling of being blocked when we are attempting to go after what we want. Adjustments are necessary now in order for our lives to move forward. The need to make changes in our life that will further our psychological development arise now. Decision-making, however, may be based on unrealistic or overly optimistic premises. For you, being misunderstood, or actually misrepresenting yourself, could occur now. An unusual or upsetting communication could figure, particularly involving a partner.

May 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

May 25 Venus trines Uranus. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize. For you, this is a strong period for attracting who and what you want into your life. Personal magnetism is high, so take advantage.

May 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 31 Full Moon in Sagittarius in your solar eleventh house. You've been focusing on what brings you pleasure—your hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others' lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You're looking for validation from friends and group activities now. You may be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture. For example, a friend may experience a little crisis and asks for your help. You may suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

April 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. The Sun spotlights your solar third house all month. This is the time of year when you are especially busy with all sorts of "little things", more communicative, and more apt to be living in the mind. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections. Activities related to communications such as journalism, literature, speaking, etc., may figure more prominently in your life now than at other points in the year. Increased involvement with siblings, students, classmates, or neighbors may also figure. You invest much importance in your immediate environment now. This could also be a time of mental restlessness. The pace of your life may be a bit hectic now, and if you're not used to it, it could make you a tad nervous. You are more inclined to seek a broad understanding of people and of your immediate environment. Concentrating on listening, connecting, communicating, and learning is your best bet now.

April promises to be an especially busy month--plenty on your “to do” list. As long as you don’t succumb to tension, it can be a pleasant month in which you make new contacts and learn a great deal about the people in your life. Beware of impulse buys--although you possess considerable energy to make money, you are similarly inclined to spend it! Your personal magnetism is strong in the second half of the month. The last week of April brings a surprising communication about finances, and an unusual romantic or creative opportunity.

Jupiter retrogrades this month, kicking off a retrograde period that lasts until the first week of August, and involves some re-thinking of matters surrounding your friendships, group affiliations, and long-term aspirations. By August, you will be ready to move forward in these areas with gusto. Saturn's direct motion this month suggests that any stagnation you've been experiencing with close partnerships will begin to lift and these matters start to move forward. It's also a helpful influence for spiritual matters.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to Mercury and the Sun this month, representing opportunity periods for you. Increased authority, recognition, and powers of persuasion comes your way on the 1-5 when it makes sense to present your ideas or your case. It’s also a strong period for close partnerships and romantic matters. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 21-23, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. Challenges in close relationships could also figure.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 9-12 (especially) and 21-22. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 2-4, 14, and 24-25. Surprising circumstances are likely to surround your income or a personal possession on the 28-29.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1, 5-8, 19, 21-22, and 26. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2-4, 9-10, 12, 14, and 27-28. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-5, 7-12, and 18-19. Use these periods for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 1-2, 21-23, and 24-25.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-5, 14-19, 26. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 9-11, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 20th. Domestic relationships and the home environment appear to be satisfactory, harmonious, and serene at this time. There is a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Financial problems may be the only threat to your harmonious living. This can be avoided by living within your means and carefully enumerating expenditures.

Venus moves through your solar fifth house from the 20th. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury continues to transit your solar second house until the 16th. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.

Mercury moves through your solar third house from the 16th. Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now, and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

Mars continues to activate your solar first house until the 19th. You're on a roll, with loads of energy to spare. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't antagonize others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. This placement reacts strongly on a personal level, and circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities. You may experience a noticeable lack of cooperation from others. Exercise patience in driving, daily activities, and contact with others, as this planet can arouse the tendency toward carelessness, argumentativeness, and disputes. It is also associated with cuts, bruises, burns, migraine headaches, and accidents in rare instances.

From the 19th, Mars enlivens your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Highlights:

April 2 Full Moon in Libra in your solar ninth house. Relationships come into focus--dependency issues surface now. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you've been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you're going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.

April 5-6 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 7-8 Operative energies include Mercury sextile Venus and the Sun trine Saturn. This is a good time for us to take care of practical and "earthly" matters. Meeting responsibilities is satisfying now. For you, this is a strong period for strengthening relationships through conversation.

April 9-12 Operative energies include Sun trine Jupiter and sextile Neptune; and Mercury square Pluto. Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now, although a suspicious attitude or stance could also be part of the picture. For you, this is a strong period for communications with friends and in business. Happiness in a close partnership could also figure now. Romantic matters, however, could be challenging, with suspicions or negative expectations part of the picture.

April 12-13 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

April 14-15 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

April 17 New Moon late Aries in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon in May. The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general "busy-ness". This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy. 

April 18-19 Operative energies include Sun trine Pluto and Mercury sextile Chiron. Intensity of focus, healing conversations, and a renewed sense of purpose are with us now. For you, this is a strong period for friendships and communication. Strengthening ties with a close partner or friend figures now. Romantic energy is also strong.

April 20-21 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

April 21-22 Operative energies include Mercury trine Jupiter and Saturn and sextile Neptune. Strong productivity on mental levels characterizes this combination. It's a good period for coming up with successful business plans and strategies. This is yet another combination in April that is strong for stability in close relationships. It's also a good period for coming up with profitable ideas and improvements, business income, and romantic relationships.

April 25-26 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

April 26-30 A dynamic combination occurs now, involving a T-square between Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Uranus. Saturn and Neptune form harmonious angles to the Venus-Jupiter opposition. This exciting and possibly upsetting configuration stimulates your pleasure, romance, friendship, and financial sectors. Sudden and unexpected changes regarding personal finances or possessions are possible now. If you have been passive or nonchalant about business affairs, finances, and material security, you will need to take a more active role now. Increased ambition and enterprise are likely, but arguments over money are also more frequent than usual now. Sudden changes in your finances or your means of livelihood are possible. Some insecurity is likely for the time being, and romantic relationships, friendships, children, or creative projects are affected or involved.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

March 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. The Sun highlights your second house all month, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Unexpected financial disruptions occur in the first week of March, when new initiatives involving money should be avoided. From the second week, money issues smooth over. From the 19th, and for a few months to come, a new beginning with finances and possessions is in store. This is a period in which managing your money becomes essential. Boosting your nest is recommended now. Partnership matters are strong this month. A warm and open conversation about your future together is likely to occur and does wonders for your state of mind.

From the 7th, Mercury turns direct and matters that have been stagnant for you begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 16th, when "all things Mercury" tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on March 27th. From the 16-27th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde, or to put into action ideas that came to us during this cycle. For you, communications with co-workers, lawyers, and professors resume with less confusion and more clarity.

Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 3rd at 13 degrees Virgo. Its opposition to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 19th at 28 degrees of Pisces. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from March 1-3 and then March 12-19th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 3rd stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse's status (or ex-spouse's status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.

The Solar Eclipse on the 19th marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income. A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

Jupiter trines Saturn this month, linking your seventh and eleventh houses in a pleasing way. This is a period of constructive accomplishment. We are practical, realistic, and our judgment is especially sound--and we derive much satisfaction from practical accomplishment. The key to harnessing this wonderful energy is to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make you happy. Friendships are especially supportive now and in the next few months. A friend could be integral in achieving your goals, and partnering with a friend in some tangible way can be part of the picture now. You might also enjoy a more goal-oriented, free-spirited, and tolerant relationship with an existing partner--you tend to be "on the same page". Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. This trend lasts several months.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to the Sun and Venus this month on the 2-5 and the 30-31, representing opportunity periods for you. Increased authority, recognition, and overall good will comes your way on the 2-5 when others appreciate exactly who you are. It’s also a strong period for personal finances and security matters. Romantic and/or financial gains occur on the 30-31. Other positive periods for you occur on the 8-9 and the 14-16. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 17-18 and 21-22. Feeling underappreciated or insecure is likely on the 17-18, when others don’t seem to recognize your true worth. Hasty or excessively willful behavior on the 21-22 can lead to frustrating circumstances.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 29-10 and 24-26. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided in the first week of the month and the 27th. Surprising circumstances are likely to surround your income or a personal possession on the 4-5.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1st, 4-6, and 15-18. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2nd and 7th. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-5, when unusual or surprising events are likely to arise. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 8-10, 18-22, and 24-31.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 1st and 16-17. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 15th, 19-20, and 28-29, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus transits your solar third house until the 26th, where her influence is lighthearted and easygoing. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Venus eases through your solar fourth house from the 26th. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Mercury transits your solar first house until the 28th. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now. Do be more cautious with your communications while Mercury is retrograde until the 7th, however. Be as clear as you can to avoid misunderstandings.

Until the 11th, Mars continues to transit your privacy sector. indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle.

From the 11th, Mars enlivens your solar first house. You're on a roll, with loads of energy to spare. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't antagonize others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. This placement reacts strongly on a personal level, and circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities. You may experience a noticeable lack of cooperation from others. Exercise patience in driving, daily activities, and contact with others, as this planet can arouse the tendency toward carelessness, argumentativeness, and disputes. It is also associated with cuts, bruises, burns, migraine headaches, and accidents in rare instances. This position is strongest in influence from the 11-24.

Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 1-9, when you are oozing with natural charm; and the 11-24, when Mars is on your Sun and you are filled with energy, verve, and vitality.

Highlights:

March 1-3 Operative energies include Mercury sextile Pluto, Venus sextile Chiron, Mars semi-square Jupiter. New information begins to come to light, and we have the power to heal our social relationships. Because this period occurs just before a lunar eclipse, hold off on finalizing any deals or plans if you can, however. But do pay attention to the information that surfaces now. For you, watch for hasty words and communications. Otherwise, you can enjoy pleasing family relations and a strong career position. A partner's income may receive a boost, and a deep conversation with a lover gives you a strong sense of purposefulness.

March 1-2 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

March 3 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in your solar eighth house. Flaws in an important system in your life come to light. The effects of this eclipse last for six months. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.

March 4-5 The Sun conjuncts Uranus in your solar second house. Sudden changes in your finances or your means of livelihood are possible now. Sudden windfalls or reversals are possible. You may either be feeling insecure about financial matters, or impulsive, willing to take a risk.

March 8-9 Operative energies include Venus trine Jupiter and Saturn, Venus sextile Neptune, and Sun square Jupiter. This is an especially strong influence for creative output and is also excellent for cementing relationships. Because the grand trine affects your relationship sectors, this is a strong period for partnerships and friendships. It's also good for finances and family matters.

March 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

March 15-16 Operative energies include Mars conjunct Chiron, Mercury sextile Venus, and Venus trine Pluto. Gaining new perspectives on romantic and sexual relationships, or on creative projects, occurs now. We seek out others, but won't settle for superficial connections. This can be a time of epiphanies and release of suppressed energies. Important contracts and new beginnings, however, are best avoided until after the Solar Eclipse on the 18th.

March 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

March 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

March 18 New Moon Solar Eclipse in late Pisces in your solar second house affects you for the next six months. A time to focus on goals involving compassion, letting go of the past, and acceptance. Nagging problems from the past six months need to be dealt with and put behind you. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors. 

March 22-25 A mixed bag of energies operant now brings challenges as well as enlightenment. Mars in your eleventh house opposes Saturn, sextiles Jupiter, and conjuncts Neptune.

March 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

March 28-29 Venus forms tense angles to Chiron and Pluto. This is a less than ideal period for financial transactions and for social relationships. Tensions derived from lack of trust are likely now. For you, challenges that relate to doubts and suspicions with romantic partners or family members can occur now. Avoid manipulative or guarded behavior.

March 28-29 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

February 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your solar first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.

Income from career and business is likely to improve this month, perhaps in surprising ways. Using new techniques and technologies to create new sources of income can be successful. As progressive as you are, problems from the past occupy your thoughts, and tying up loose ends is in order. Demands from a partnership or close personal relationship become more pressing around the 2nd and come to a head on the 10th. Your recent lack of motivation could be the topic. However, your energy levels increase in March.

This month, Mercury retrogrades from the 13th forward (until March 7th). Mercury retrograde cycles are periods in which communications and transportation matters don't go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, lawyers, and professors; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms some pleasing connections with Venus and Mars this month on the 2-4 and 7-8. These represent opportunity periods for you. The 2-4 offers you increased will, desire, energy, and confidence to pursue your goals with vigor. It's also strong for communications of all kinds. The 7-8 is an especially auspicious period in which you are able to attract what (and who!) you want into your life quite naturally. You may be noticed (someone could express a strong interest in you) and appreciated now. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the  23-25, when impulsiveness and aggression could have consequences.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 1-3 (more likely through a partner or taxes, loans, and other second-party sources) and 7-8. A financial surprise (a pleasant one!) is likely on the 7-8. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 25 and 27-28.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1-3 and 8-10 in particular, as well as the 19-20. These represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 17-18. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-4, 7-8 (although confusion may be part of the picture), and the 16-19r. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 2 and 10.

Career and reputation matters run especially well on the 1, 7, and 16-17. Challenges with these matters are more likely on the 2 and 19-20, when you may not be seen in an especially favorable light by superiors or the public.

Venus transits your solar second house from the 5th forward. As the natural ruler of this sector of the chart, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it--you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Mercury moves through your solar second house all month. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications. Do be more cautious with your communications and with these matters while Mercury is retrograde from the 13th through to March 7th, however. Be as clear as you can to avoid misunderstandings.

Mars energizes your solar twelfth house all month, indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 1-9, when circumstances seem to flow smoothly and naturally; and the 21-28, when your natural charm shines and is generally appreciated.

Highlights:

February 2 Full Moon in Leo in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

February 2-3 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

February 3-4 The Sun sextiles Jupiter and Mars sextiles Uranus. This is a strong period for learning, growth, advancement, and adventurous activities. It's favorable for marketing, publishing, and advertising, as well as any self-promotion activities. We may be especially sociable, tolerant, and generous. Confidence comes from a stronger sense of who we are and the principles we represent, as well as an ability to take healthy and reasonable risks. For you, increased confidence is with you--it's a brief but energizing period.

February 7-8 The Sun conjuncts Neptune and Venus conjuncts Uranus. This is a "make a wish" day. Spiritual goals come into focus. As well, bringing a spirit of friendship and freedom into close personal relationships is featured. For you, some confusion is possible surrounding your own personal goals. An unexpected financial development is also likely.

February 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

February 10 The Sun in your first house opposes Saturn in your seventh house. Restrictions from a close partnership, and how these affect your personal expression and goals, come into focus now. Avoid new initiatives now if you can.

February 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

February 18 New Moon in late Aquarius in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon. A time to focus on goals involving friendships, long-term happiness, dreams, and wishes. This New Moon placement is a powerful one—it's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

February 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

February 24-25 Tense angles include Mars-Uranus, Venus-Neptune, and Venus-Saturn. Relations are likely to be tense. Disillusionments with finances as well as personal relationships are possible. Reckless behavior has consequences. Frustrations revolving around home and family, travel, and education are possible for you.

February 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:  

January 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. All month, the Sun moves through your solar twelfth house, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house on the 30th.

The year begins charmingly for you. An easygoing energy is with you this month--a pleasing balance of activity and rest, self-assertion and compromise, work and pleasure. Any matter that requires people skills, charm, and verbal prowess is favored from mid-month, when you are especially convincing. A project or investment that you may have given up on could surprise you with some movement and possible returns. Life moves along quite flowingly for you right now, and it’s best to appreciate the smooth energy than to take it for granted.

This month, the first of three Jupiter-Uranus squares occurs, placing some tension between your eleventh and second houses, from now through October. There could be some problems concerning financial dealings with friends. Or, you could be borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--for the time being, which causes some stress. Clashes of values with friends or associates may also figure. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior. On the other hand, if you look for opportunities, you have more confidence and faith now to do something totally different, and inspiration may be found now. But do avoid blowing off responsibilities while you pursue your new vision.

This month, the Sun, Venus, and Mercury align with Chiron just behind your solar first house. You may enjoy key opportunity periods that boost your self-confidence, and do wonders for your ego and your relationships, particularly if your relationships or your own confidence in the way you present yourself to others is in need of healing. The key now is not overstating yourself.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms a pleasing connection with Mercury on the 3-4--an opportunity period for you that allows you to express yourself creatively and spontaneously. Another opportunity period occurs for you on the 7-9, when your co-ruler, Saturn, trines Mars, boosting your ability to assert yourself with confidence and to go after what you truly want. Red-flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 1, 13, 16-18, and 20-24. Feeling underappreciated or at odds with someone over values is likely on the 1st, and the 16-18 is a period when you are prone to wounded pride and/or difficulties with a close partner.

Better periods for personal finances occur on the 1, 18-19, and 26. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 21-22. A partner's income, or money from other sources than your own personal income, can enjoy a boost around the 20-22, however.

Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 3-8, 16-22 (and especially the 20-22), 26, and 31. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Small issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2, 11-13, and 28. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. Committed partnerships enjoy positive energy on the 1, 5-8, and especially the 29-30. These are also strong periods for negotiations, particularly those that are one-on-one. Tensions or disappointments in partnerships are more likely on the 13-18.

Career and reputation matters run more smoothly on the 7-9, 12-14, 18-19, 25-26, and 31; and they more easily run into snags on the 22 and 27.

Until the 12th, Venus continues to transit your solar twelfth house. Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector during this cycle. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration.

From the 12th, Venus moves through your solar first house. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative.

From the 4-21, Mercury transits your solar twelfth house. Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues during this cycle. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid being dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

From the 21st, Mercury journeys through your solar first house. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Mars transits your solar eleventh house all month. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Overall, the best period of the month for you is the 12-20, when your personal charm is at a peak. Use the 21-27 to present your ideas or plans.

Highlights:

January 1-2 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 1-2 Jupiter sextiles Chiron, the Sun sextiles Uranus, and Mars sextiles Neptune. This is a creative period for all--one in which we can find new insights into old problems. Willingness to embrace change is the key to success now. This is a good period for positive feedback from others. Career and reputation matters run well, and an opportunity to attract or enhance a partnership arises.

January 3 Full Moon in Cancer in your solar sixth house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on December 20th occurs now. You look in the mirror and say, "That's it! I'm starting that exercise program". You crush out a cigarette with disgust and decide to quit smoking. You throw up your arms and say that you can't take how your boss has been treating you. These are just some examples of a Full Moon transiting your sixth house. If it activates other personal planets, or if it's an eclipse, the more intense or dramatic your proclamations will be. Of course, you don't necessarily need to burst forth with emotional declarations, especially if you plan in advance. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.

January 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 6-8 The Sun and Mercury align and Mars trines Saturn. These planetary influences suggest rational, logical, and productive energy. We are actively communicating, and our work takes on definite shape. This is a good time to temper our energy and to exercise better judgment. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. For you, this can be a time of much energy and productiveness. You may have an important discussion about the past or a hidden matter could come to light. This is an active period for partnerships. A spirit of friendship is brought to an existing close partnership, or a new partnership could blossom from a friendship or group association.

January 10-12 Venus joins with Chiron and sextiles Jupiter. This is a healing and friendly energy--an excellent time to socialize, promote cooperation, spend time with romantic partners, and to initiate a new relationship or friendship. It's also very strong for financial matters. For you, a friendly connection can be made now, particularly through group associations.

January 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

January 13-14 Mars joins with Pluto and Venus semi-squares both planets; Mercury semi-squares Uranus. Keywords for this period include intense, passionate, rebellious, and obsessive! Tense interplays between lovers are quite likely now, and the inclination to rebel against routine or expectations is strong. Harness the energy of Mars-Pluto by pouring your energy into a pet project. Sexual relations now can be very intense. Competitive energy is powerful. For you, attention to a matter with a friend, a group project, or your business income becomes necessary. Jealousies or power struggles may come into play now. Watch for overly blunt communications. As tempting as it may be, avoid speculative ventures for the time being.

January 18 New Moon in late Capricorn in your solar twelfth house affects you until the next New Moon. A time to focus on long-term goals and projects and to formulate career and business plans. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one's spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house—a period that is more active and busy than this one. 

January 18-20 Venus joins with Neptune and Mercury conjoins Chiron. This can be a very romantic time, although the tendency can be towards seeing what we want to see rather than what is, so romantic mirages are possible now. Kind, healing words and communications are also featured now. A good time to discover new or alternative health procedures and regimes. Soft, pleasant energy dominates. For you, your personal magnetism skyrockets. Pay attention to synchronicities that occur now. An important conversation or communication with or from a lover or child can come now. Words can heal.

January 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 22-23 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

January 25-26 Venus sextiles Pluto and Mercury aligns with Neptune. An excellent period for romantic and artistic expression. However, don't expect communications to be right-brain, logical, or clear! It's best to delay important decisions. A good period for romance and dreamy conversations. For you, an unusual or mysterious circumstance surrounding a romance may occur now. This is a strong period for intuition, family affairs, and friendships. A friend may offer assistance.

January 27-28 Mercury and Mars form challenging angles to Saturn. This can be a tense period in which hitting brick walls is likely. Delay important discussions and avoid beginning new projects, which could be riddled with frustrations and complications down the road.

January 28-29 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 30-31 The Sun joins Chiron and Mercury sextiles Pluto. An excellent period for coming up with innovative new techniques, socializing, and gaining perspective on our long-term goals. It's easy to resolve problems, particularly old, nagging ones, and to cooperate with others in a balanced manner. For you, this is a strong period for all partnership and romantic matters.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:

September 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

Until the 13th, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your partnership sector. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It's important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

The Sun energizes your sector of  transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes from the 13th. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

In September, stimulating activity along romantic, pleasurable, and creative lines continues to enliven your life, dear Aquarius. Career matters begin to move forward with pleasing results, as do travel and educational plans. Family relationships and domestic life are strong. A close partnership intensifies. Whether this makes you feel more deeply connected or it challenges you with mini relationship crises depends on how you feel about this increased intimacy! Issues of intimate sharing as well as joint finances come into high focus, demanding attention now and in the months to come.

Venus turns direct on the 8th, and Venus-ruled areas of life begin to move forward. Love, appreciation, and the need for companionship are expressed more naturally and readily from this point forward.

A Solar Eclipse in Virgo occurs on September 11th. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from September 4th to 11th. This Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it's time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Mars and Mercury this month on the 6, 13-15, and 30, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 6th, creative energy is on your side. Your spirit is pioneering. Communications go well, or you receive some good news. On the 13-15 and 30-1, you may be asked for advice, communications flow smoothly, you are able to rationalize and solve problems, and romantic connections can be made. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior occur on the 2-4, 9-10, 16, and 28, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 7-10 and 18-19. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 3-4, 12-13, 20-22, and 27-28, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 12-14, 17-19, 23-26, and 30-1. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2-3, 6, 8, 16, and 28. These would be less than ideal days on which to have a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 1-2. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3-4, 9-10, 12-13, 16-19, and 27-28.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 1, 6-8, 13-14, 18, 22, and 27. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 3, 11-12, 17, 19, and 26, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4, 7-9, 23-24, and 26-27. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 2-3, 17-19, and 20-22, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your solar sixth house until the 22nd. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus graces your seventh house from the 22nd. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury transits your eighth house until the 19th. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mercury transits your ninth house from the 19th. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind is on bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mars energizes your solar fifth house from the 9th. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:

September 4-5 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 7-8 Venus and Pluto turn direct after retrograde periods. These influences represent matters moving forward after a period of introspection and/or lag. For you, career and reputation matters, travel plans, education, and family matters begin to turn around after a period of review or lag. Slowdowns in these areas begin to lift.

September 9-10 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 11 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo in your solar eighth house affects you now and for months to come. Unexpected events necessitate the need for new beginnings. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

September 16-17 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 19-21 Mars opposes Pluto, Venus opposes Neptune, and the Sun is challenged by both Pluto and Chiron. Battles begun now are lose-lose situations. Avoid beating a dead horse and attempting to force matters that should naturally take time to unfold. Circumstances now can push us to discover our own power--power that comes from a strong sense of self rather than superficial energy derived from manipulating people into doing what we want them to do. We are not seeing our finances or love relationships clearly just now. For you, a partner could be going through a challenging time, or may simply be frustrated with the relationship. Be patient. An especially busy time on the job is likely now. Avoid impatience with those around you. Financial initiatives should be held off if possible.

September 24-25 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 24-26 Mercury sextile Pluto and trine Mars. This is a great time for enjoying meaningful entertainment or romance. It's also strong for career and presenting important ideas.

September 26 A Full Moon occurs today in early Aries in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

September 26-27 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:

August 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Until the 13th, the Sun continues to spotlight your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods.

From the 13th, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Partnering, romantic expression, and negotiations are the hot topics in August for you, dear Aquarius. Romantic and creative matters become pressing or heated. Impulsive attractions, or a sudden desire to breathe new life into existing relationships, figure in the second half of the month. Travel or education plans require revision before they can be put into action. Friendships thrive and partnerships get top billing, particularly on the 21-22. An important financial matter comes to light in the last week of the month.

Venus continues to retrograde all month and until September 8th. For the time being, avoid making critical decisions about Venus-ruled areas of life, including love and social relationships, entertainment, beauty, and finances. Read more about Venus Retrograde here.

This month, Leo and Sagittarius houses are emphasized. The Sun, Mercury, and Venus all align with Saturn and trine Pluto at various points in the month. As well, Jupiter in Sagittarius turns direct on the 6th. This affects your seventh and eleventh houses. Emphasis is on partnering--the serious elements of it. It's time to make a plan to improve this area of your life. It may feel like work, but accepting responsibility and the determination to "clean up" your life on the level of relating one-to-one will bring rewards. Friendships and group associations can be fortified this month as well.

A Lunar Eclipse occurs on August 28th in the early degrees of Pisces. The "crisis" that eclipses such as this one tend to elicit is a crisis of lack--a time when we suddenly realize a great need or want. This eclipse can trigger awareness of need in an area of our lives, such as our relationship to work, to our health and bodies, and so forth. This is a time when matters come to light--things that have been brewing under the surface. With the Virgo-Pisces service axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants in our lives. We are pushed to find a balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces). Virgo rules the tools and techniques that we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces rules the tools that we use to deal with our spiritual selves. Epiphanies are likely at this time as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into positive action. Full Moons and Lunar Eclipses bring issues in our lives to fulfillment. Our emotions are heightened, and there is often some sort of drama involved with the house, sign, and any contacted planets activated by the Full Moon. Occurring in your solar first house, it may be time to change your image or redefine your personality in some manner. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this eclipse is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Mercury and the Sun this month, on the 18 and 21-22, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 18th, communications figure strongly. An important conversation or piece of news is part of the picture now. On the 21-22, you enjoy increased personal influence and recognition or respect. This is also a strong period for attracting or enhancing a close partnership. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 1-2, 6, 10-11, 13, and 28, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. On the 1-2, you are likely to encounter aggressive or willful situations or people.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 2 and 9. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 13-14, 17-19, 23-25, and 30, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 3, 9, and 17-18. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, 6, 10, 13-14, 24-25, 28, and 30. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 1-2 and especially the 15-22. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3-5, 10-11, and 13-14.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 3-4, 9-10, 12, 16-18, 26, and 31. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 5, 20, and 28, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-7, 12-14, 18, and 21-22. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, when others may not see you in the best light!

Mercury transits your solar sixth house until the 14th. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

Mercury transits your solar seventh house from the 14-30. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.

Mars continues to transit your fourth house all month, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Highlights:

August 2-3 Operative energies include the Sun trine Jupiter and Mercury sextile Mars. The tendency to take the high road in our relations with others dominates now. We more easily assert ourselves and our needs without causing a stir. For you, a blast of positive energy regarding partnerships helps you out now. This is also a stimulating time for you romantically speaking.

August 2-3 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 8-9 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 12 New Moon in Leo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon in September. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public. 

August 12-15 Operative energies include Neptune opposing a Sun-Mercury conjunction; and Venus conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. Relationship or financial tests are likely now, but act to improve matters considerably in the long run. Be wary of what others are saying, of what you read, and of what you perceive during this period. Avoid making premature decisions until Neptune's veil lifts. Partnership and negotiation matters come into strong focus. However, you could find that a significant other is coming down on you and wanting answers. Your tendency just now is to be evasive. Confusing circumstances surrounding your close relationships are likely now.

August 13-14 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 17-19 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Venus; and Mercury conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. Conversations of a more serious or probing nature are likely now. We may feel compelled to get to the bottom of a matter. For you, a partner could be especially warm and docile just now. Setting matters straight makes sense.

August 19-21 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto. We may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts we put forth. Improved concentration and focus, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help us to make steady progress. Dedication and commitment to our goals runs high. For you, partnership commitments come into focus.

August 20-21 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 27-28 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 28 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in early Pisces. The effect of this eclipse can last 3-6 months. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.

August 29-30 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:

July 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

Until the 12th, the Sun continues to spotlight your solar fifth house--a time when pleasure-seeking activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally.

The Sun illuminates your sixth house from the 12th. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

July is a month in which work that requires sharp thinking skills, as well as any services you render, come into focus. Yesterday’s communication mishaps on the job are turned into new opportunities to improve your skills. Recognition for your work is what you crave, and it’s likely to arrive on the 10-11, 20^th, and 28^th--power days for you this month. Pour your energy into renovations around the house, or other efforts that help improve your domestic life, rather than bicker with loved ones over issues of space and freedom.

Mercury's retrograde period that began mid-June ends on July 9th. From the 9th until the 24th, we have a chance to revisit issues that stumped us during Mercury's retrograde period, and delays encountered begin to resolve.

Venus retrogrades on July 27th and stays in this apparent backward motion until September 8th. As Venus slows down in the last week of July, avoid making critical decisions about Venus-ruled areas of life, including love and social relationships, entertainment, beauty, and finances.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to Venus, the Sun, Mars, and Mercury this month, on the 1-2, 10-11, 19-21, and 28-29, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 1-2, love matters figure strongly. Attracting who and what you want comes more easily to you now. Legal, educational, and travel matters figure prominently. On the 10-11, you enjoy increased personal influence and recognition or respect. This is also a strong period for attracting or enhancing a close partnership. On the 19-21,  you enjoy increased energy and enterprise. Smooth friendship or group association matters also figure now. A pleasant communication is likely on the 28-29, when romantic or pleasurable activities also figure. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 25-26 and 30-31, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 2 and 27. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 13-14, 17-19, 23-25, and 30, when financial decision-making is unclear.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1 and 28-29. These are power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 18-19, 22-23, 25, and 30. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 10-11. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 3, 6, 14, 17-19, and 25-26.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 4-5, 8-9, 13-14, and 21. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 3, 6, 10, 16, and 31, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 1, 7-9, and 20. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 19, 24, and 30-31, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your partnership sector all month. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house all month. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.  You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position. Note, however, that these matters could be tricky while Mercury is retrograde until the 9th, after which some sort of resolve is likely to take place.

Mars continues to energize your solar third house until the 23rd. Your communication style tends to be sharper, more direct and to the point, and it may be hard for you to bite your tongue when you see something that is amiss in your environment! As long as you direct these energies toward challenging mental tasks or work and avoid rushing and pushing your way through traffic, or provoking arguments over trifles, this position can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

Mars energizes your solar fourth house from the 23rd. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Highlights:

July 1-2 Operative energies include Venus conjunct Saturn and Mercury sextile Mars. Challenges in close relationships may come to light now, bringing up the need to make solid plans or re-commitments. Reformulating a budget may also become necessary now. It's a good period for a heart-to-heart, as we tend to speak clearly and directly. However, we should watch for overly practical perspectives on sensitive matters.

July 4-5 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 6-7 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 7-10 Operative energies include Venus trine Pluto, the Sun trine Uranus, and Mars sesquiquadrate Pluto. Powerful romantic and creative energies are with us now. Relationships, creative projects, or financial initiatives become more rich, meaningful, and intriguing. Freedom of expression, spontaneity, and creative license are important to us now. Don't let suspiciousness or negative thinking spoil the opportunities that arise now. With your ruler in harmonious aspect to the Sun, this is a strong period of recognition, perhaps even admiration, for you. This is also an excellent few days for partnering. Career matters are strong, and an opportunity to socialize on the job, or an invitation, can arise now. A tense communication, however, could also figure.

July 8-10 Mercury stations and turns direct on July 9th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get projects off the ground.

July 12-13 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 14 New Moon in Cancer in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon in August. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. 

July 16-17 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

July 23-26 Operative energies include Mercury semi-square Saturn, Mars square Neptune, and the Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus. Some tension is in the air now. It can be difficult to get a point across or to move about effortlessly. Others may be rebellious, resistant to change, or simply hard to pin down. Confusing news or communications could figure now. A clash with a partner could also be part of the picture. Beware of indiscriminate spending, and hold on to your possessions as you are more inclined to lose or misplace something now.

July 24-25 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 26-28 Venus stations and turns retrograde on July 27th. Venus will stay retrograde until September 8th--a period in which we re-assess our love relationships and finances. During this station, be particularly cautious in your dealings with people dear to you, as well as with money. Postpone major beauty treatments as well. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.

July 28-29 Mercury trines Uranus. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Insights seem to come from "out of the blue". Original, creative ideas are easy to come by now. For you, a pleasant surprise in the form of an invitation or outing could figure now. Others respect your opinions and ideas more than usual.

July 30 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

July 31-August 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:

Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview.

Until the 11th, the Sun puts a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This position of the Sun represents a yearly "nesting" phase. You tend to concentrate your vital force on self-nurturing as well as nurturing those close to you. During this period, your inner, spiritual world is more important to you than mundane achievements--and necessarily so. It's a time to honor your roots, stabilize your home life, and build the connections you have with family. During this heartwarming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner.

The Sun illuminates your fifth house from the 11th. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

June is about romance, entertainment, and good times for you, Aquarius. Your creative abilities are at a peak during this phase of your life. Adventurous and perhaps speculative ventures appeal. Your inner restlessness craves an outlet through social, romantic, and possibly daring activities. Highly stimulating conversations allow you to brainstorm and come up with answers to problems that have previously divided you in your close relationships. Avoid jumping to conclusions on the 9th, and enjoy the excitement of a new romance or creative project on the 16th.

In the first half of the month, there is a strong emphasis on your fourth and tenth house axis, and issues surrounding domestic matters, family, house and home, career, reputation, and professional matters are in the foreground. Much activity surrounding these "departments" of your life is stimulated.

Mercury begins a retrograde cycle on June 15th and runs until July 9th. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either. Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

This month, Saturn and Neptune are in opposition for the final time. This energy first occurred in August 2006 (see our horoscope archives in August for an explanation of the conflict). Some sort of resolve of the conflict is in sight now, although getting to that point could involve some form of disillusionment.

Your rulers, Uranus and Saturn, form stimulating connections to the Sun, Mars, and Venus this month, on the 11-12 and 30-July 1, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 11-12, energy flows smoothly, and you are able to take a stand or assert your wishes without stepping on anyone's toes. You are rewarded or recognized in some way now. Ego-boosting events are likely to occur. On the 30-July 1, loving, receptive energy is with you. It's time to attract what (and who!) you want. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 8-10 and 25-29, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. On the 8-10, you could easily feel deflated or experience an ego-bruising event. Encountering confusing circumstances or evasive people is likely on the 25-29. It's an inopportune to make final plans or to formalize anything during this period.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 12-14 and 19-20. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 4-5 and 28-30. A partner's finances or jointly-held assets could be tricky after the 15th.

As far as romantic and creative matters are concerned, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 10-12 especially and lesser so on the 28. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, 4, and 29. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. With regard to your serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 6 and 11-13 especially. Use these days for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 5, 9-10, 18-19, 21-22, and 28-29.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 10 and 18. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 22 and 26, when you should probably avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-5, 11-13, and 20-22. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 3, 18-19, and 28-29, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus continues to transit your solar sixth house until the 28th. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus journeys through your solar seventh house from the 28th. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house all month. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.  You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position. However, these matters could be tricky while Mercury is retrograde from the 15th forward.

Mars energizes your solar third house from the 11th. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result. Channeled well, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others. More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions may become heated, or they may escalate into arguments, more easily. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas. A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time to work on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
 

Highlights:

June 3-6 Operative energies include the Sun trine Chiron and opposite Jupiter; Mars trine Jupiter and sextile Chiron; and Venus sesquiquadrate Jupiter. These influences produce a natural, enterprising spirit. Enthusiasm and confidence are with us now, and it's easy to tap into our more unique qualities and talents in order to go after what we want. However, we also have the tendency to over-reach. For you, this is an excellent period for strengthening communication with friends or groups, as well as for any business income generated through communications. Watch for overstating coming from a partner, however. The intention is likely good, but partners could promise more than they can deliver right now.

June 6-7 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

June 8-9 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 9 With the Sun and Venus in hard aspect to Uranus, watch for disruptions in personal relationships and general plans. Expect the unexpected! For you, these disruptions and surprises are likely to occur in the realms of close partnerships, travel plans, and domestic affairs. With your ruler involved, this could be a challenging day in which you feel underappreciated.

June 10-12 Operative energies include the Sun sextile Mars and Saturn, and Mars trine Saturn. We are able to creatively solve problems and to instinctively take action when necessary now. It's easy to stick to a specific task and make headway. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. This is a good time to temper our energy and to exercise better judgment, as well as to get and feel organized. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practical considerations are favored over impulsive decisions. For you, a partnership stabilizes and gives you a strong sense of purpose. Communications are rewarding, realistic, and productive. Business advice that works, or a communication about serious matters, could figure now. It's an excellent time to resolve a past matter.

June 13 Operative energies include the Sun trine Neptune and Mars sextile Neptune. Interesting synchronicities can occur now. We may be at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are "tuned in". Instinctual judgment is enhanced under these influences. This period favors dancing, swimming, photography, the arts, and entertainment--mediums in which we act upon our more spiritual or artistic inclinations. It's a time when we are guided by intuition more than reason. Taking action towards the attainment of a dream can also figure now. For you, interesting twists to your life story could occur now, particularly surrounding partnerships, negotiations, learning, and communications. Taking action on a financial matter can be rewarding.

June 14 New Moon in Gemini in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon in July. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period. 

June 14-16 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until July 9th--a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

June 15-16 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

June 19-20 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

June 27-28 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

June 29-30 Operative energies include Mars-Uranus, Sun-Saturn, Sun-Neptune, and Venus-Neptune hard aspects. The contrast between what is real and what is only a dream is explicit. It's best to avoid beginning a new project for the time being, as there is a lack of clarity now. For you, long-standing challenges regarding one-to-one relationships, dependencies, and personal freedom can reach a head now before final resolve. Disappointments and frustrations are likely. You are prone to impulsive, angry, or impatient behavior now. As well, disappointments regarding travel or education and overspending or excesses could be part of the picture now.

June 30 Full Moon in Capricorn in your solar eleventh house. You've been focusing on what brings you pleasure—your hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others' lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You're looking for validation from friends and group activities now. You may be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture. For example, a friend may experience a little crisis and asks for your help. You may suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius: 

May 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. Until the 11th, the Sun highlights your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.

From the 11th, he Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home all month, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

While family and home life figure prominently in May, working aggressively towards financial and career goals is a simultaneous focus. For the time being, avoid borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--as this can cause you some stress. You are turned to for advice in the first week of the month, when others especially admire your integrity and expertise. A romantic opportunity on the job is possible in the last week of the month, but it’s important to remember that your thinking is not completely clear now.

This month, Jupiter squares Uranus and trines Saturn. These long-term energies have been with us since January and March, respectively. A friend could be integral in achieving your goals, and partnering with a friend in some tangible way can be part of the picture now. You might also enjoy a more goal-oriented, free-spirited, and tolerant relationship with an existing partner--you tend to be "on the same page". Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. This trend lasts several months. However, there could be some problems concerning financial dealings with friends. Or, you could be borrowing from your future--drawing upon savings meant for other goals, for example--for the time being, which causes some stress. Clashes of values with friends or associates may also figure. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior. On the other hand, if you look for opportunities, you have more confidence and faith now to do something totally different, and inspiration may be found now. But do avoid blowing off responsibilities while you pursue your new vision.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to Mercury, the Sun, and Venus on the 5, 8-9, and 24-25, representing opportunity periods for you. On the 5th, intelligence is at its peak. You could be sought after for advice, to speak or teach, or to present an idea. Good news could come your way now. On the 8-9, you feel especially appreciated and acknowledged. This is a strong period for partnership matters as well. The 24-25 is strong for all things Venus--attracting love, gifts, or money! Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 10-11 and 20, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 1 and 22-23. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 7, 12-14, and 24. Still, on the 24-25, a gift or good financial news could come your way.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1-2, 8-9, 19-21 (with tension), 22-23, and 26. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 3-5, 7, 10, 27, and 29. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 8-9. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 3-4, 6-7, 10, 12-14 (especially), 19-20, and 27, when others may not see you in the best light!

Romantic Venus warms your romance and pleasure sector until the 27th. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a genuine love of life, especially in romantic attachments, hobbies, personal pleasures, and social interests. Your infectious love of life and noble nature ensures social popularity, although, at times, you can be rather theatrical in order to hog the spotlight! You may be more inclined to show off your partner during this cycle. Appreciation of the arts is indicated. There is some predisposition to gambling or other forms of financial speculation now. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus brings warmth and grace to your solar sixth house from the 27th and into June. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now.

Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 6-22. This is a time when you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 22nd. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.  You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

Mars energizes your solar second house all month. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Highlights:

May 2 Full Moon in Scorpio in your solar ninth house. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you've been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you're going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.

May 3-5 Operative energies include the Sun conjunct Mercury and in hard aspect with Pluto; and Mercury square Saturn. Our wants are aligned with our thoughts, and problem-solving comes naturally. What we say or write now has impact, for better or for worse! However, we are not very good at truly listening to what others have to say, and when we do, we tend to read between the lines with a negative slant. Our minds are investigative. Some of us could feel troubled or stressed with these influences. For you, power plays may occur with family members, children, partners, or romantic partners. Tension or concerns over partnerships matters could surface. Avoid the tendency to over-analyze or accuse.

May 3-4 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 7-9 Operative energies include Venus opposition Pluto; Sun square Saturn and sextile Uranus; Mercury square Neptune and sextile Mars. Intense social interactions are likely during this period. Frustrations involving blocked will and evasiveness can drive us to come up with creative solutions to problems now. For you, challenges or power struggles with a lover or friend could figure now. Tensions on the home front don't help matters. Still, this is a good period for receiving rewards or recognition.

May 10-11 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

May 12-13 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

May 12-14 Operative energies include Mars square Pluto, Sun square Neptune, and Venus sesquiquadrate Neptune. Our desires are intense and difficult to satisfy right now. Some disillusionments are likely, as we tend to see what we want to see rather than what is. For you, disappointments or disillusionments could occur now, particularly regarding money matters, intimacy, and career. Issues from the past could crop up through a communication that leaves you feeling tense.

May 16 New Moon in late Taurus in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon in June. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it's an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.

May 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

May 19-20 Operative energies include Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn, Sun inconjunct Pluto, and Mercury opposite Jupiter and square Uranus. There is a feeling of being blocked when we are attempting to go after what we want. Adjustments are necessary now in order for our lives to move forward. The need to make changes in our life that will further our psychological development arise now. Decision-making, however, may be based on unrealistic or overly optimistic premises. For you, being misunderstood, or actually misrepresenting yourself, could occur now. An unusual or upsetting communication could figure, particularly involving a partner.

May 23-24 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

May 25 Venus trines Uranus. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize. For you, this is a strong period for attracting who and what you want into your life. Personal magnetism is high, so take advantage.

May 30-31 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 31 Full Moon in Sagittarius in your solar tenth house. You are suddenly in the limelight—everyone notices you now. It's time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you've been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You're called to perform, perhaps on a moment's notice, and it's best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence. A sudden job opportunity, or some form of assistance with regards to career, home, or property matters, could be part of the picture. This can also produce an event that requires you to take charge and show your responsible side.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:

April 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. The Sun continues to highlight your solar second house until the 10th. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.

The Sun spotlights your solar third house from the 10th. This is the time of year when you are especially busy with all sorts of "little things", more communicative, and more apt to be living in the mind. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections. Activities related to communications such as journalism, literature, speaking, etc., may figure more prominently in your life now than at other points in the year. Increased involvement with siblings, students, classmates, or neighbors may also figure. You invest much importance in your immediate environment now. This could also be a time of mental restlessness. The pace of your life may be a bit hectic now, and if you're not used to it, it could make you a tad nervous. You are more inclined to seek a broad understanding of people and of your immediate environment. Concentrating on listening, connecting, communicating, and learning is your best bet now.

April promises to be an especially busy month--plenty on your “to do” list. As long as you don’t succumb to tension, it can be a pleasant month in which you make new contacts and learn a great deal about the people in your life. Beware of impulse buys--although you possess considerable energy to make money, you are similarly inclined to spend it! Your personal magnetism is strong in the second half of the month. The last week of April brings a surprising communication about finances, and an unusual romantic or creative opportunity.

Jupiter retrogrades this month, kicking off a retrograde period that lasts until the first week of August, and involves some re-thinking of matters surrounding your friendships, group affiliations, and long-term aspirations. By August, you will be ready to move forward in these areas with gusto. Saturn's direct motion this month suggests that any stagnation you've been experiencing with close partnerships will begin to lift and these matters start to move forward. It's also a helpful influence for spiritual matters.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to Mercury and the Sun this month, representing opportunity periods for you. Increased authority, recognition, and powers of persuasion comes your way on the 1-5 when it makes sense to present your ideas or your case. It’s also a strong period for close partnerships and romantic matters. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 21-23, when you may feel neglected, slighted, or unappreciated. Challenges in close relationships could also figure.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 9-12 (especially) and 21-22. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 2-4, 14, and 24-25. Surprising circumstances are likely to surround your income or a personal possession on the 28-29.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1, 5-8, 19, 21-22, and 26. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2-4, 9-10, 12, 14, and 27-28. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-5, 7-12, and 18-19. Use these periods for strengthening your connection or attracting a serious partnership. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 1-2, 21-23, and 24-25.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 4-5, 14-19, 26. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 9-11, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus transits your solar fourth house from the 3-29. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Mercury transits your solar second house from the 4-22. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

Mercury moves through your solar third house from the 22nd. Mercury is right at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now, and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

Mars continues to activate your solar first house all month. You're on a roll, with loads of energy to spare. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't antagonize others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. This placement reacts strongly on a personal level, and circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities. You may experience a noticeable lack of cooperation from others. Exercise patience in driving, daily activities, and contact with others, as this planet can arouse the tendency toward carelessness, argumentativeness, and disputes. It is also associated with cuts, bruises, burns, migraine headaches, and accidents in rare instances.

Highlights:

April 2 Full Moon in Libra in your solar eighth house. Relationships come into focus--dependency issues surface now. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.

April 6-7 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 7-8 Operative energies include Mercury sextile Venus and the Sun trine Saturn. This is a good time for us to take care of practical and "earthly" matters. Meeting responsibilities is satisfying now. For you, this is a strong period for strengthening relationships through conversation.

April 9-12 Operative energies include Sun trine Jupiter and sextile Neptune; and Mercury square Pluto. Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now, although a suspicious attitude or stance could also be part of the picture. For you, this is a strong period for communications with friends and in business. Happiness in a close partnership could also figure now. Romantic matters, however, could be challenging, with suspicions or negative expectations part of the picture.

April 13-14 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

April 15-16 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

April 17 New Moon late Aries in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon in May. The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general "busy-ness". This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy. 

April 18-19 Operative energies include Sun trine Pluto and Mercury sextile Chiron. Intensity of focus, healing conversations, and a renewed sense of purpose are with us now. For you, this is a strong period for friendships and communication. Strengthening ties with a close partner or friend figures now. Romantic energy is also strong.

April 21-22 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

April 21-22 Operative energies include Mercury trine Jupiter and Saturn and sextile Neptune. Strong productivity on mental levels characterizes this combination. It's a good period for coming up with successful business plans and strategies. This is yet another combination in April that is strong for stability in close relationships. It's also a good period for coming up with profitable ideas and improvements, business income, and romantic relationships.

April 25-26 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

April 26-30 A dynamic combination occurs now, involving a T-square between Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Uranus. Saturn and Neptune form harmonious angles to the Venus-Jupiter opposition. This exciting and possibly upsetting configuration stimulates your pleasure, romance, friendship, and financial sectors. Sudden and unexpected changes regarding personal finances or possessions are possible now. If you have been passive or nonchalant about business affairs, finances, and material security, you will need to take a more active role now. Increased ambition and enterprise are likely, but arguments over money are also more frequent than usual now. Sudden changes in your finances or your means of livelihood are possible. Some insecurity is likely for the time being, and romantic relationships, friendships, children, or creative projects are affected or involved.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:

March 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. Until the 10th, the Sun continues to transit your solar first house. This is an excellent time to promote yourself, to make your intentions and purposes known, and to make an impact on your world by the sheer power of your presence! If you want to be seen and to make a definite impression, this is the time. You project confidence and self-assuredness, making others take note.

The Sun highlights your second house from the 10th, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Unexpected financial disruptions occur in the first week of March, when new initiatives involving money should be avoided. From the second week, money issues smooth over. From the 19th, and for a few months to come, a new beginning with finances and possessions is in store. This is a period in which managing your money becomes essential. Boosting your nest is recommended now. Partnership matters are strong this month. A warm and open conversation about your future together is likely to occur and does wonders for your state of mind.

From the 7th, Mercury turns direct and matters that have been stagnant for you begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 16th, when "all things Mercury" tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on March 27th. From the 16-27th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde, or to put into action ideas that came to us during this cycle. For you, communications with co-workers, lawyers, and professors resume with less confusion and more clarity.

Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 3rd at 13 degrees Virgo. Its opposition to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 19th at 28 degrees of Pisces. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from March 1-3 and then March 12-19th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 3rd stimulates your solar seventh house. Surprises surrounding partnerships and relationships may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, a surprising revelation from a partner, a circumstance that calls for you to support a significant other, a flurry of activity prompted by a partner's needs or demands for your services from the general public, and other such possibilities. You now have a natural flair for sensing the needs and desires of the general public. You are likely to draw highly emotional and sensitive individuals into your social circle. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

The Solar Eclipse on the 19th marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income. A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

Jupiter trines Saturn this month, linking your seventh and eleventh houses in a pleasing way. This is a period of constructive accomplishment. We are practical, realistic, and our judgment is especially sound--and we derive much satisfaction from practical accomplishment. The key to harnessing this wonderful energy is to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make you happy. Friendships are especially supportive now and in the next few months. A friend could be integral in achieving your goals, and partnering with a friend in some tangible way can be part of the picture now. You might also enjoy a more goal-oriented, free-spirited, and tolerant relationship with an existing partner--you tend to be "on the same page". Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. This trend lasts several months.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms stimulating connections to the Sun and Venus this month on the 2-5 and the 30-31, representing opportunity periods for you. Increased authority, recognition, and overall good will comes your way on the 2-5 when others appreciate exactly who you are. It’s also a strong period for personal finances and security matters. Romantic and/or financial gains occur on the 30-31. Other positive periods for you occur on the 8-9 and the 14-16. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 17-18 and 21-22. Feeling underappreciated or insecure is likely on the 17-18, when others don’t seem to recognize your true worth. Hasty or excessively willful behavior on the 21-22 can lead to frustrating circumstances.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 29-10 and 24-26. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided in the first week of the month and the 27th. Surprising circumstances are likely to surround your income or a personal possession on the 4-5.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1st, 4-6, and 15-18. These days represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2nd and 7th. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-5, when unusual or surprising events are likely to arise. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 8-10, 18-22, and 24-31.

Matters related to your career and reputation tend to thrive on the 1st and 16-17. Challenges with these matters are more likely to occur on the 15th, 19-20, and 28-29, when others may not see you in the best light!

Venus transits your solar third house from the 9th, where her influence is lighthearted and easygoing. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mercury transits your solar first house all month. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now. Do be more cautious with your communications while Mercury is retrograde until the 7th, however. Be as clear as you can to avoid misunderstandings.

Until the 24th, Mars continues to transit your privacy sector. indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle.

From the 24th, Mars enlivens your solar first house. You're on a roll, with loads of energy to spare. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't antagonize others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. This placement reacts strongly on a personal level, and circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities. You may experience a noticeable lack of cooperation from others. Exercise patience in driving, daily activities, and contact with others, as this planet can arouse the tendency toward carelessness, argumentativeness, and disputes. It is also associated with cuts, bruises, burns, migraine headaches, and accidents in rare instances. This position is strongest in influence from the 24-31.

Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 9-17, when you are oozing with natural charm; and the 24-31, when Mars is on your Sun and you are filled with energy, verve, and vitality.

Highlights:

March 1-3 Operative energies include Mercury sextile Pluto, Venus sextile Chiron, Mars semi-square Jupiter. New information begins to come to light, and we have the power to heal our social relationships. Because this period occurs just before a lunar eclipse, hold off on finalizing any deals or plans if you can, however. But do pay attention to the information that surfaces now. For you, watch for hasty words and communications. Otherwise, you can enjoy pleasing family relations and a strong career position. A partner's income may receive a boost, and a deep conversation with a lover gives you a strong sense of purposefulness.

March 2-3 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

March 3 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in your solar seventh house. Flaws in an important system in your life come to light. The effects of this eclipse last for six months. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.

March 4-5 The Sun conjuncts Uranus in your solar first house. You could be acting on impulses now. You tend to be more erratic, spontaneous, and unreliable, even to yourself. You are experimenting with different ways of being and may adopt a more unconventional or individualistic attitude. Your inner restlessness and need to make changes may also impel you to make sudden changes.

March 8-9 Operative energies include Venus trine Jupiter and Saturn, Venus sextile Neptune, and Sun square Jupiter. This is an especially strong influence for creative output and is also excellent for cementing relationships. Because the grand trine affects your relationship sectors, this is a strong period for partnerships and friendships. It's also good for finances and family matters.

March 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

March 15-16 Operative energies include Mars conjunct Chiron, Mercury sextile Venus, and Venus trine Pluto. Gaining new perspectives on romantic and sexual relationships, or on creative projects, occurs now. We seek out others, but won't settle for superficial connections. This can be a time of epiphanies and release of suppressed energies. Important contracts and new beginnings, however, are best avoided until after the Solar Eclipse on the 18th.

March 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

March 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

March 18 New Moon Solar Eclipse in late Pisces in your solar second house affects you for the next six months. A time to focus on goals involving compassion, letting go of the past, and acceptance. Nagging problems from the past six months need to be dealt with and put behind you. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors. 

March 22-25 A mixed bag of energies operant now brings challenges as well as enlightenment. Mars in your eleventh house opposes Saturn, sextiles Jupiter, and conjuncts Neptune.

March 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

March 28-29 Venus forms tense angles to Chiron and Pluto. This is a less than ideal period for financial transactions and for social relationships. Tensions derived from lack of trust are likely now. For you, challenges that relate to doubts and suspicions with romantic partners or family members can occur now. Avoid manipulative or guarded behavior.

March 29-30 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:  

February 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. The Sun continues to highlight your solar twelfth house until the 9th--a transit that began in January. The plans you formulate now, while you're regenerating, are unlikely to bear fruit for some time, but it is wise to listen to your intuition during this period. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This period is an excellent one for self-evaluation and review. Work on getting control of your life and on your self-mastery skills.

From the 9th, the Sun illuminates your solar first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.

Income from career and business is likely to improve this month, perhaps in surprising ways. Using new techniques and technologies to create new sources of income can be successful. As progressive as you are, problems from the past occupy your thoughts, and tying up loose ends is in order. Demands from a partnership or close personal relationship become more pressing around the 2nd and come to a head on the 10th. Your recent lack of motivation could be the topic. However, your energy levels increase in March.

This month, Mercury retrogrades from the 13th forward (until March 7th). Mercury retrograde cycles are periods in which communications and transportation matters don't go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, lawyers, and professors; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms some pleasing connections with Venus and Mars this month on the 2-4 and 7-8. These represent opportunity periods for you. The 2-4 offers you increased will, desire, energy, and confidence to pursue your goals with vigor. It's also strong for communications of all kinds. The 7-8 is an especially auspicious period in which you are able to attract what (and who!) you want into your life quite naturally. You may be noticed (someone could express a strong interest in you) and appreciated now. Red flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the  23-25, when impulsiveness and aggression could have consequences.

Opportunity periods for personal finances occur on the 1-3 (more likely through a partner or taxes, loans, and other second-party sources) and 7-8. A financial surprise (a pleasant one!) is likely on the 7-8. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 25 and 27-28.

As far as romantic and creative matters go, opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1-3 and 8-10 in particular, as well as the 19-20. These represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 17-18. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. For more serious partnerships, long-term relationships tend to thrive on the 3-4, 7-8 (although confusion may be part of the picture), and the 16-19r. Tensions in close partnerships are more likely on the 2 and 10.

Career and reputation matters run especially well on the 1, 7, and 16-17. Challenges with these matters are more likely on the 2 and 19-20, when you may not be seen in an especially favorable light by superiors or the public.

Venus transits your solar first house until the 13th. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative.

Venus transits your solar second house from the 13th forward. As the natural ruler of this sector of the chart, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it--you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Mercury moves through your solar second house all month. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications. Do be more cautious with your communications and with these matters while Mercury is retrograde from the 13th through to March 7th, however. Be as clear as you can to avoid misunderstandings.

Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house until the 12th, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Mars energizes your solar twelfth house from the 12th, indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Overall, the best period of the month for you is the 9-19, when circumstances seem to flow smoothly and naturally.

Highlights:

February 2 Full Moon in Leo in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.

February 3-4 The Sun sextiles Jupiter and Mars sextiles Uranus. This is a strong period for learning, growth, advancement, and adventurous activities. It's favorable for marketing, publishing, and advertising, as well as any self-promotion activities. We may be especially sociable, tolerant, and generous. Confidence comes from a stronger sense of who we are and the principles we represent, as well as an ability to take healthy and reasonable risks. For you, increased confidence is with you--it's a brief but energizing period.

February 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

February 7-8 The Sun conjuncts Neptune and Venus conjuncts Uranus. This is a "make a wish" day. Spiritual goals come into focus. As well, bringing a spirit of friendship and freedom into close personal relationships is featured. For you, some confusion is possible surrounding your own personal goals. An unexpected financial development is also likely.

February 10 The Sun in your twelfth house opposes Saturn in your sixth house. Restrictions on your down time coming from pressures at work come into focus now. Avoid new initiatives now if you can.

February 10-11 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

February 17-18 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

February 18 New Moon in late Aquarius in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon. A time to focus on goals involving friendships, long-term happiness, dreams, and wishes. This New Moon placement is a powerful one—it's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

February 19-20 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

February 24-25 Tense angles include Mars-Uranus, Venus-Neptune, and Venus-Saturn. Relations are likely to be tense. Disillusionments with finances as well as personal relationships are possible. Reckless behavior has consequences. Frustrations revolving around home and family, travel, and education are possible for you.

February 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:  

January 2007: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

Overview. Until the 10th, the Sun continues to spotlight your solar eleventh house. A stronger sense of community is with you now. Making friendly contact with others, in general, is probable. Personal relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. Towards the 10th, you begin to require a bit of down time, and that's natural after a busy month.

From the 10th, the Sun moves through your solar twelfth house, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house in February.

The year begins charmingly for you. An easygoing energy is with you this month--a pleasing balance of activity and rest, self-assertion and compromise, work and pleasure. Any matter that requires people skills, charm, and verbal prowess is favored from mid-month, when you are especially convincing. A project or investment that you may have given up on could surprise you with some movement and possible returns. Life moves along quite flowingly for you right now, and it’s best to appreciate the smooth energy than to take it for granted.

This month, the first of three Jupiter-Uranus squares occurs, placing some tension between your tenth and first houses, from now through October. You may encounter some challenges between your personal goals and the demands of your career at times this month and through October. The urge to expand your worldly goals is great, but you are also intent on a certain level of freedom to explore life. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior. On the other hand, if you look for opportunities, you have more confidence and faith now to do something totally different, and inspiration may be found now. But do avoid blowing off responsibilities while you pursue your new vision.

This month, the Sun, Venus, and Mercury align with Chiron in your solar twelfth house. You may enjoy key opportunity periods that boost your inner wells of faith, and do wonders for your intuition, particularly if you have been in need of some spiritual healing.

Your ruler, Uranus, forms a pleasing connection with Mercury on the 3-4--an opportunity period for you that allows you to express yourself creatively and spontaneously. Another opportunity period occurs for you on the 7-9, when your co-ruler, Saturn, trines Mars, boosting your ability to assert yourself with confidence and to go after what you truly want. Red-flag periods--times when you are not received as well as you would like, or are prone to impulsive, hasty, or ill-timed behavior--occur on the 1, 13, 16-18, and 20-24. Feeling underappreciated or at odds with someone over values is likely on the 1st, and the 16-18 is a period when you are prone to wounded pride and/or difficulties with a close partner.

Better periods for personal finances occur on the 1, 18-19, and 26. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 21-22. A partner's income, or money from other sources than your own personal income, can enjoy a boost around the 20-22, however.

Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 3-8, 16-22 (and especially the 20-22), 26, and 31. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Small issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 2, 11-13, and 28. These would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. Committed partnerships enjoy positive energy on the 1, 5-8, and especially the 29-30. These are also strong periods for negotiations, particularly those that are one-on-one. Tensions or disappointments in partnerships are more likely on the 13-18.

Career and reputation matters run more smoothly on the 7-9, 12-14, 18-19, 25-26, and 31; and they more easily run into snags on the 22 and 27.

Until the 20th, Venus transits your solar twelfth house. Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector during this cycle. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration.

From the 20th, Venus moves through your solar first house. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative.

From the 9-27, Mercury transits your solar twelfth house. Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues during this cycle. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid being dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

Mars transits your solar eleventh house from the 3rd. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Overall, the best period of the month for you is the 20-28, when your personal charm is at a peak. Use the 27-31 to present your ideas or plans.

Highlights:

January 1-2 Jupiter sextiles Chiron, the Sun sextiles Uranus, and Mars sextiles Neptune. This is a creative period for all--one in which we can find new insights into old problems. Willingness to embrace change is the key to success now. This is a good period for positive feedback from others. Career and reputation matters run well, and an opportunity to attract or enhance a partnership arises.

January 2-3 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 3 Full Moon in Cancer in your solar fifth house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on December 20th occurs now. You want to have fun, and the demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. It can be hard to find time for everything you want to do, but without creative self-expression (be it romantic or playful), you simply won't feel complete. It's time to do something self-expressive, fun, and creative. You may be required to complete a creative project at this time. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children.

January 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 6-8 The Sun and Mercury align and Mars trines Saturn. These planetary influences suggest rational, logical, and productive energy. We are actively communicating, and our work takes on definite shape. This is a good time to temper our energy and to exercise better judgment. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. For you, this can be a time of much energy and productiveness. You may have an important discussion about the past or a hidden matter could come to light. This is an active period for partnerships. A spirit of friendship is brought to an existing close partnership, or a new partnership could blossom from a friendship or group association.

January 10-12 Venus joins with Chiron and sextiles Jupiter. This is a healing and friendly energy--an excellent time to socialize, promote cooperation, spend time with romantic partners, and to initiate a new relationship or friendship. It's also very strong for financial matters. For you, a friendly connection can be made now, particularly through group associations.

January 13-14 Mars joins with Pluto and Venus semi-squares both planets; Mercury semi-squares Uranus. Keywords for this period include intense, passionate, rebellious, and obsessive! Tense interplays between lovers are quite likely now, and the inclination to rebel against routine or expectations is strong. Harness the energy of Mars-Pluto by pouring your energy into a pet project. Sexual relations now can be very intense. Competitive energy is powerful. For you, attention to a matter with a friend, a group project, or your business income becomes necessary. Jealousies or power struggles may come into play now. Watch for overly blunt communications. As tempting as it may be, avoid speculative ventures for the time being.

January 14-15 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

January 18 New Moon in late Capricorn in your solar twelfth house affects you until the next New Moon. A time to focus on long-term goals and projects and to formulate career and business plans. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one's spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first house—a period that is more active and busy than this one. 

January 18-20 Venus joins with Neptune and Mercury conjoins Chiron. This can be a very romantic time, although the tendency can be towards seeing what we want to see rather than what is, so romantic mirages are possible now. Kind, healing words and communications are also featured now. A good time to discover new or alternative health procedures and regimes. Soft, pleasant energy dominates. For you, your personal magnetism skyrockets. Pay attention to synchronicities that occur now. An important conversation or communication with or from a lover or child can come now. Words can heal.

January 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 22-23 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

January 25-26 Venus sextiles Pluto and Mercury aligns with Neptune. An excellent period for romantic and artistic expression.
