The Sun lining up with Neptune in Aquarius, and in a rare combination of aspects with Uranus (for the last time in our lifetime!), offers an unusual boost to intuitive clarity.
ARIES (March 20-April 19): Enjoy the company of good friends; talk about where you all expect to be in about 10 or 20 years. That can trigger inspired hunches about the future. As wild as they seem, talk about them for a clearer vision of what will be.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The future is necessarily uncertain. Don’t let that worry you; even the best astrologers can only hint vaguely at what will be. Focus on what you really want and expect of life — that will alleviate concerns about your career.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When you’re not sure what else to believe in, believe in yourself. Even that may be difficult while you are in the midst of redirection, but look into your own heart, your own guiding light, to see what you know to be true.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Discuss your deepest, darkest sexual fantasies with your partner — or someone you can trust. Something new is likely to come up. You may not be ready to act on it, but at least consider the notion and what’s behind it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The bedroom can be a great place to clear up misunderstandings with your partner. Be willing to let your lover lead you to places and positions you’d never considered. Also be open to returning the favor. It’s all about trust and empathy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your ideas at work are brilliant enough, but winning support can be a problem. The art of persuasion is more seduction than argument. Let others think they had a part in your ideas if you don’t mind giving up some of the credit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The phrase “being a team player” does include some actual play — even at work. Morale-building fun and games will help you get into better sync with your colleagues. Even solo new techniques will improve your game.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Family secrets or community scandals, some innocent, and even playful explorations could open quite a can of worms. In the end it could prove very healing, although the catharsis could put some big bumps on the path to resolution.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): Confusion is the first step to enlightenment. Remember that when things get a little crazy with neighbors or siblings. Their “deception” is probably not deliberate. Be patient, forgiving and alert!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19): A necessary choice between diplomacy and honesty could test your values. “Being kind” is a mistake if it means hiding the truth, which will be discovered in any event. Gentleness and finesse will be appreciated; pussyfooting and sugarcoated lies will not.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Birthday splurges can carry hidden costs. Enjoy, but think ahead and consider the consequences. Take time out to consider where you’re going in life. Maturing is a process of adaptation. Aging offers opportunities for insight and liberation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 19): Take as much time out as you need from worldly demands. You need to be able to charge your batteries to intuit the big changes coming up both globally and personally. Trust your instincts and act on them.
