Print

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It’s your time of the year to shine Cancer! It’s your birthday season and with the sun and fervent Mars joined at the hip in a galactic two-step, you’re feeling rather bold and brazen. You may even feel like sassing your boss, spouse or your buddies. Stop there. That behavior will serve to alienate. Instead focus your energy on cheering for the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. Woot! Woot!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Hey big kitty, as the love affair between Jupiter and Venus reached a new height in closeness this week, you’re feeling lovey dovey and even want to give strangers a hug. You behavior is like a swinging pendulum and Madame G can only blame that you are in the 12th house for all of July. Take some risks, but not the type that will get you in trouble with your pride (your family).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

I think you are creative at heart, and it’s showing up in interesting ways. Perhaps it’s as simple as doodling on an etch-a-sketch or writing a poem. Perhaps you have been trying to play out a home improvement project such as painting flowers on the walls. Roll with it for as long as you can. When Venus comes knocking later this month you’ll be dealing with a lovestruck heart.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Your high roller energy is already talking off as Libra races toward the new Moon. Take that energy and apply to it things in your life hanging in the balance and that are making your scales shift back and forth like a teeter-totter. Perhaps some of you have a guy/gal that’s in the “friend zone.” Now is the time to make a move toward romance instead of being a creeper and what not.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Oh yay, Scorpio, if you feel like you just can’t keep your big mouth shut, it’s because you’re under the hot Sun’s influence for most of this month and it’s not going to get any better. Just keep that nasty stinger in check. Madame G realizes this is difficult for you. Use that energy to get beyond the cooler chat at work and network after-hours with coworkers with similar ambitions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Are you taking a lot of selfies these days or getting glammed up for no particular reason? If so, you have been under the influence of the Venus-Jupiter dance. While you are no player, and may even be in a relationship, it hasn’t stopped you for wanting to get noticed in public. If you’re in search of Mr. or Miss Right, don’t settle for those low hanging apples. Reach for the stars.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Feeling emotional? Good, you have been under the spell of the budding full moon and playful Pluto flirting from the distance … or whatever these orbs are considered by scientists, yes, you would know classifications. While impatiently waiting to see if Pluto gets reinstated as a planet, don’t get distracted. Keep high standards, someone may be trying to take advantage of your temporary touchy-feely ways.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are feeling the exchange of habits these days. Perhaps you have recently switched from iced green tea to a high calorie blended mocha beverage with whipped cream. It’s your small effort to shake off unnecessary attachments and live a little. So, you put on five pounds. Don’t worry about it. No one can tell except for the scale. Next, try some fried salmon instead of drying it by baking it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Vivacious Venus and jolly Jupiter have taken you by the heart. You’re feeling more dreamy and distracted than your usual self. Add that full funky moon, and your heart is ready to explode with love for your fellow man. Everyone looks fantastic to you, and not in a creepy way, in I love humans sort of way. If you’re single, now is the time to get out there and dabble in dating, just steer clear of Scorpios.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The full moon brings out your ambitious plans that you put on the back burner to pursue a career, education, relationship and/or nurture the kids. It’s a good time to get ahead of the drama coming your way thanks to Jupiter’s change of pace, but getting those plans started is the first step in achieving that goal. Even if it’s just you wanting to paint the hallway or replace the curtains.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As we head toward the new Moon, you’re looking at getting some social time in. Sign up for that Yoga class and get all bendy, or enroll in classes at the university. You’ll find that being around new people is invigorating. Bulls tend to do really well when they get out of their heads and into life. Maybe you should foster a puppy or kitten from the humane society. Just do something.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

No one likes a good sale like Gemini. If you’re not careful, you can end up looking like a bonfide hoarder or wind up totally broke. Instead, focus on quality. Whether it’s purchasing a quality item or making the decision to bring that special person into your life. First impressions are lasting, and if you show a romantic interest that you are indeed special, you will be treated special.
