The Sun is in Cancer. The shy crab is an intelligent creature that carries its home and armor on its back. This makes an interesting pairing with Mercury in Leo. Our ideas will become grander with a little focus on the details. Madame G recommends digging-deep and exploring all possibilities. Don’t limit yourself! You can...

$150,000 for irrigation improvement

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Decisions, decisions, decision. You’ve made good ones and bad ones. But, you’re navigating how best to handle each and every situation you come across. It’s not always easy. In fact, it’s downright hard. You can only do so much at one time. Be patient! You may feel the...
