CANCER (June 21-July 22) – The Crab starts this month with a solar eclipse, the third significant alignment since 2000. You have much to contribute — and a pain in your heart. Whether loss or disillusion has slowed you, the eclipse strengthens insofar as you can move on from old expectations and develop a strong spiritual nature.

In these turbulent economic times, expansion is rare. Yet ventures begun under Taurean principles can grow slowly and surely into solid capitalism.

Scientists say Pluto is not a planet. Tell that to my clients who are experiencing the irrevocable changes and regeneration of a Pluto transit.

Dogged individualists, Aquarians were the rarest of signs until the early ’60s. Now they proliferate.

Jupiter and Uranus square off with Pluto (the “nonplanet”) this year. A time of upheavals can be good fortune for those who seek a better way.

SAGITTARIUS  (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Some psychic types have whispered of coming good fortune, and their premonitions are correct. The challenge is to glean the reality from the spectacular potential that abounds now. Be convivial and inclusive to all who approach, but the real deal lies behind the scenes with a spiritual advisor. You will instantly know the truth in their wisdom.

Venus and Neptune are happy together this month. This is a generic transit that can affect us all. Because of the nature of Venus and Neptune, we can expect exceptional offerings in theater, movies, and all types of art.

Here’s your yearly forecast. If you know your ascendant (rising) sign, read that first, then your sun sign. Alignments this year promise to shatter the status quo in many areas.

Born at dawn? Your ascendant matches your sun sign, making you a double Taurus (or whatever your sign). Also born on the new moon (a possibility of four hours over two days of each month), you are a triple. Most of us are a mixed bag of signs and elements. Our chart, like the iris of our eye or fingerprint, is unique to each one of us.
