with Stephanie Johnson YOUR STARS SPRING 2024

21 March – 19 April

Daily acts of kindness to yourself and others can be your aim at the start of Spring. How do you start each day? And how does your day end? Daily rituals will help you see the big picture, and help you achieve your goals by November. You may also receive some news that affects your workaday life. As the season progresses your relationship becomes the focus. You could make plans for a holiday with a loved one later in the year and so the end of Spring sees you saving for the big trip.

20 April – 20 May

Spring has sprung, and this is your signal to enjoy yourself, spend time with children and be creative. Sensual Taurus can enjoy the sights, sounds, scents and abundance of Spring. The start of the season is about pleasure with loved ones. Your personal finances may also receive a boost. As the season progresses your attention is captured by daily tasks. It is time to spring clean your habits, letting go of negative thoughts and actions and embracing positive ones. By the end of Spring, you are ready to celebrate with your nearest and dearest.

21 May – 20 June

It is time to reflect on what keeps you grounded, not in the original sense of the world when it was applied to aircraft crew that couldn’t fly. This is in the modern sense of the word, ‘well-balanced and sensible’. Your ruling planet, Mercury, is Retrograde in the first week of September and so this is your time to reflect and deflect big decisions. A Spring clean of your home is likely to be refreshing, paving the way for fun and creativity as the season progresses. By the end of the season, you can enjoy your surroundings daily.

21 June – 22 July

The start of Spring coincides with a focus on local connections. Something or someone is prompting you to fill in forms, rev up your email communications, contact neighbours and such like. As the season progresses, your attention turns to home and family. It is likely that you look to beautify your home, or perhaps even move to a dream location. The planet, Venus, is in the 4th House of your Solar Chart at the start of Spring, meaning the urge to experience more pleasure in your private life. A Spring clean and decluttering your living abode are in order.

23 July – 22 Aug

Activities that increase your self-esteem are the way to go in September. As a Leo you are adept at doing what boosts rather than detracts from your ability to shine. This month, however, gives you the opportunity to observe whether all your activities and associates are a positive influence. Take note of when you are in sync with your values and when you are not. This may also require a review of your money-spending habits. As the season progresses, you may enjoy a short break, giving you a fresh perspective. By November you are refreshed and ready for fun.

23 Aug – 22 Sep

September is your ‘me, myself and I’ month. Your ruling planet, Mercury, is Retrograde at the start of the month calling for reflection on what contributes to your health and happiness and what does not. A Lunar Eclipse on September 18 triggers your Zodiac Sign and it is time to make decisions. Your personal growth is the focus. You may receive a generous gift from a significant woman. Or perhaps you are the gift-giver. A review of your finances in October paves the way for a short break, or an enjoyable get-together, in November.

23 Sep – 22 Oct

Lovely Venus moves into your Zodiac Sign urging you to focus on activities that are pleasurable. Always a person who likes harmony, September sees you go above and beyond to keep the peace. However, the stars are aligned in a way that urges you to retreat, rest and recuperate at the start of the season. Then you are ready for an event or person who lights up your life when a Solar Eclipse triggers your Zodiac Sign on October 3. A little retail therapy could lift your spirits in November but be sure not to blow the budget.

23 Oct – 21 Nov

If you can count all your true friends on one hand then you are lucky indeed. So, the saying goes. The start of Spring sees changes that remind you of this adage. Friends come and go in social situations, which you enjoy. And yet, this month memories surface and perhaps even old friendships rekindle, reminding of the importance of true friends. While others are Spring cleaning their homes, you are releasing a few friendship groups. As a result, you may be less social mid-season, but you are ready to celebrate with your true tribe again in November.

22 Nov – 21 Dec

Some periods of our lives require us to step up and be counted, to show our family, our workmates and the world our true worth. The start of Spring sees you take such a step. It is your chance to shine as a parent, grandparent, mentor or professional authority. You can earn the respect of others if you lead by example rather than take charge in a bossy fashion. As Spring progresses, you can take a step back and enjoy the company of friends, and perhaps even retreat a little at the end of the season.

22 Dec – 19 Jan

Overseas connections prompt serious consideration at the start of September. Perhaps an offer from a foreign company is tempting or maybe a senior member of your family or firm is giving you food for thought. In September, legal matters may require concentration, particularly when paperwork is involved. A gift from a prominent woman may also be giving you a boost and sparking dreams of an escape from your everyday duties, or even an overseas trip. As Spring progresses you step up in your professional arena, before being able to relax a little with friends at the end of the season.

20 Jan – 18 Feb

Self-development continues to be a theme as transformative Pluto makes its way in and out of your Zodiac Sign. You are aware of the circle of life with the comings and goings of those around you. Other life changes are also sparking personal growth. The idea is to live according to your own personal values and let go of anything beyond your control so that you can indulge in your dreams by mid-Spring. November is a busy month with your professional life demanding your effort. You are likely to be front and centre of operations in your workplace.

19 Feb – 20 March

Your love life is under the microscope. This is not romance, but rather the serious business of relationship matters. It is time to be discriminating when it comes to your primary partner. Soft-hearted Pisces sometimes compromise to the point of sacrifice. Boundaries need to be considered. This is true if you are happily single, seeking a mate or in a committed relationship. As the season progresses, joint resources become the focus. You are likely to be drawn to a reassessment of how and where you invest your energy and income. Then, in November, you are ready to set your goals.
