FIRE EARTH AIR WATER

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your sense of individuality is amplified when the Sun is in Aquarius. This year, it includes a voltage of energy to restore balance with an edgy assertiveness. A yearning for fairness and justice is present yet includes the impulse to awaken and, if necessary, cajole and provoke others to discuss the matter.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are a rebel at heart. You do not idly conform to the status quo. Yet, your deeper motives often remain concealed and are often a mystery even to you. To this end, you push to think for yourself and to be informed, knowledgeable, and aware. These characteristics are extra emphasized now.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

You are determined to see a bigger picture. This can come from a determined acquisition of knowledge yet could also come from new experiences. One way or another, you are in the mood for an adventure to break free from stagnation, boredom, and habitual perspectives. Shake it up.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

The final stages of a transformational process that reaches back to 2020 are a central theme now. Upon reflection, you should be able to notice that that have been some very significant changes that have contributed to you feeling like a different person. Now is a good time to reflect and research to better understand.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

Your relationship life has gained more attention of late. This could include desires for more harmony to more social activity. This impulse will continue for another week or so, but then you will be happy to be more insular. A rebellious push percolates all the while reaching for more awareness and understanding.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

Establishing new lifestyle rhythms and activities is likely now. Your determination is stronger than usual offering you the opportunity to break free of old, restrictive habit patterns. Both sharing and acquiring knowledge is featured and is associated with ambitions for greater independence.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
