Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What is your superpower because the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all in Capricorn? Be confident. Go after what you want because you will probably get it. Tim- ing is everything. Make hay while the Sun shines!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is a good day to buy wardrobe items for yourself. In fact, you might hang out with younger people right now and they could influence you in a fun way. With Mars at the top of your chart, you are ambitious about achieving your aims.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a great day to schmooze and enjoy the company of others, especially female companions. When chat- ting to others, I suggest that you share your hopes and dreams for the future to see what their feedback is. Could be very interesting.
Aries (March 21-April 19): This is another day where you are high viz. because there are five planets at high noon in your chart. Make the most of this because you look good in the eyes of others, which means this is a perfect time to do what you can to advance your agenda.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You are keen to travel or do anything to "get away from all this." Because you need the stimulation of change, if you can't travel, then be a tourist in your own backyard.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Your strong emphasis on shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance issues continues. If you're in a dispute about any of these areas, you will come out looking pretty good. Make sure you do your homework.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The Moon is still opposite your sign, which means you have to be tolerant and accommodating with others. And why wouldn't you be because when you are pleasant and easy going, then others will react in kind to you. The result is a nicer world.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Chaos, confusion and increased activity on the home front continues! This could be due to visiting guests, ren- ovations, house repairs or residential moves. Today you want to be ef- ficient and get a lot done. It's also a lovely day to schmooze.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are still in play mode, which means this is a great day to grab a matinee or party with others. Family conversations will be significant. You are a strong communicator right now, which is good news for those in sales, marketing, teaching, writing and acting.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The influences for your sign today are a mixed bag. You might want to hide at home and relax. You might want to get out and schmooze. You might even want to work! You've been spending a lot of money lately, which means you have to generate some- thing to pay the bills!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are proactive, energetic and very strong about going after what you want right now. In fact, you might be coming on so strong that you intimidate others. While Mars is in your sign, try to get some physical exercise to blow off any pent-up steam.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You're keen to talk to others now because Mercury is in your sign and this makes you eager to communi- cate and share your ideas. It will also accelerate your days, which is a good thing because you have money on your mind.
