Aries (March 21 – April 19) — Meditate on career this month. You can have many “coincidences” that lead you down a path of exiting changes and great success! Since Jupiter is in your sign for many months, it helps with optimism and gives you “good luck”. You can also start a new relationship that’s passionate, lighthearted and fun, yet still meaningful.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — Energetic Mars is in your sign until late August. Use it to inspire and activate your dreams! You might start a new fitness program, new relationship, or increase your self-esteem. Pay attention to dreams, intuitions and meditations, since guidance will be easy to hear and receive. Mid month the Full Moon can make communication bumpy, so write things out before you confront others. Your thoughts will be more clear and you’ll be less likely to say something you regret.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — Mars changes signs and wants you to empty your subconscious of built-up resentments. This happens every two years and cleans out your heart and mind so you can be freer from anxiety, inner tension and pessimism. Jupiter pairs with the Mew Moon to help you feel more gratitude and joy! If you have financial issues, let go of shame and allow an expert to help and guide you.
