2007 - the year ahead
Horoscope - All About 2007
by Tanya Obreza
Last year wrought a ridiculous number of working hours from you, though at times it felt like two steps forward and one step back. Thankfully, this long cycle of struggle is nearing an end. 2007 allows your life to resume continuous momentum - this time in the right direction. As the months unravel, your unlimited potential comes into its own - allowing true and energetic expression. Nonetheless, prolonged intensity can place high demands on even the sharpest of minds. Which is why you’re allowed a well earned break after November. The pace slows and you become more reflective. Consider taking a sabbatical.
An ideal month to push for professional progress, so don’t be afraid of putting your name forward. If this means more work, so be it. Strong options include networking and overseas trade. Seems nothing’s too challenging, and crises are handled without so much as a whimper. Power Days: 3rd, 5th, 12th Challenge days: 13th, 23rd
Venus fosters friendships, with new contacts inspiring fresh ideas and hopes. You’re also encouraged to develop your own special talents - though more may be achieved within a team effort. No surprises either, if romance comes by way of a mutual friend or new business contacts. Power Days: 5th, 29th. Challenge days: 7th, 16th, 23rd,
It’s one of those months when you feel like pulling the phone out of the wall and leaving the door locked. But your reclusive behaviour shouldn’t be mistaken for depression. It’s more just a case of needing some time for contemplation. With luck, everyone will respect that. Power Days: 4th, 5th, 24th Challenge days: 1st, 8th, 22nd
It’s a time to enjoy life so try to forget about money problems and ease off the pressure. Then ask yourself what it is you love about being on this planet, and go find it. Sentimental ties come up for renewal, and old cohorts re-establish contact. A beguiling month. Power Days: 8th, 29th Challenge days: 20th, 30th
Prudence doesn’t exactly spring to mind as your word of the month. Hedonistic is closer to the mark. That’s because the Sun’s made a very dramatic appearance in your financial sector, and likes what he sees. Your reward? More money, confidence and possibly, love. Power Days: 4th, 24th Challenge days: 1st, 12th, 13th
You’ve a reputation for mincing your competition rather than words, so wry humour might be misunderstood. If making light out of others’ quirks, don’t expect an appreciative audience. Sure, there are times when the world deserves ridicule, but not everyone will get the joke. Power Days: 4th, 11th, 13th, 21st Challenge days: 22nd, 29th
Even in the toughest work schedule, we occasionally come to a halt and feel that something’s missing. Very often it will be the things we’ve taken for granted, such as friends and family. This month’s planetary line-up prompts you to retrieve some of these lost treasures. Power Days: 1st, 2nd, 10th, 20th Challenge days: 13th, 24th, 31st
Unbridled is how you’re best described this month. Artistically and romantically, it’s all systems go! With hot Aries passions firing full steam ahead, you’re on something of an erotic and creative bender. The rest of us mere mortals just step back in awe. Power Days: 3rd, 7th Challenge days: 1st, 2nd, 23rd
Aries thrive on constant motion. The downside: refusal to ease up. September teaches that you can have fun, yet still meet commitments. There’s no need for exhaustion. Once, too much may not have seemed enough. Now, a little could be plenty. Your body will let you know. Power Days: 3rd, 9th Challenge days: 4th, 21st
Look on October as an opportunity to share your concerns. That means being fairly open about your hopes and dreams. Only then can you hope to arrive at a mutual understanding. But October isn’t about honesty for honesty’s sake. It’s your chance to make a fresh start. Power Days: 9th, 17th Challenge days: 10th, 24th
The heat of the moment could have you revealing things you might later regret. For the time being discretion’s the key, particularly if you’re stepping into a brand new dalliance. Keep confidences under wraps until you’re absolutely sure you can entrust your secrets. Power Days: 9th, 19th, 20th Challenge days: 15th, 21st
December places travel within reach. Ditto for an active social calendar and an equally vibrant love life. You now have the choice between a simple thrill-ride or deeper commitment. And what better time of year to scissor the purse strings. Let loose cash, credit and common sense. Power Days: 6th, 9th, 16th Challenge days: 7th, 22nd, 24th, 26th
Feeling confused? Quite possible. Saturn continues to test family issues, while Jupiter encourages spending. Best case scenario: the purchase of a new home - though you should try to finalise property plans before September. There’s also a greater pull towards parenting. Professionally, progress may occasionally seem slow - but it’s still a time of methodical breakthrough. After April, ideas and conversations become inspirational as your awareness broadens. You easily recognise buried meanings and hidden motives. Should work or personal projects involve any type of investigation, confidential but crucial information could be revealed.
There finally seems to be some sort of reward for having lived a little more frugally. This month, finances should free up enough to allow a couple of small indulgences. Maybe there’s even enough leeway for some well deserved luxuries. A quick holiday isn’t out of the question either. Power days: 13th, 15th, 26th Challenge days: 19th, 22nd,
Professionally, Taureans look primed for a better month. You’ve managed to shake off recent irritations, and the forces previously impeding progress have now moved on to plague less fortunate souls. This leaves you with optimism and a god-sent glimpse of rationalism. Use them well. Power days: 13th, 26th Challenge days: 7th, 9th, 20th
Life seems simpler this month, including friendships and dreams. Recently you’ve may have felt that the world was against you, but such fears should be allayed. Right now, everyone’s aware of how wonderful you can be and they’re in the mood for your delightful company. Power days: 8th, 9th, 10th, 17th, 31st Challenge days: 14th, 28th
The cosmos now encourages personal review, which of course is part and parcel of this whole learning game. Basically, pursue what works - leave the rest behind. And for you, this shouldn’t be a major problem. Taurus is the most pragmatic zodiac sign. Better still, you’re mindful of your intuition. Power days: 11th, 26th, 27th Challenge days: 2nd, 4th
More recently, many Taureans have felt dragged down by life’s daily pressures. Perhaps you need a rest. If you stop struggling for a few days, some problems could even resolve themselves. So do the unthinkable and take some time out. You may even come to enjoy it. Power days: 1st, 25th, 30th Challenge days: 7th, 13th, 27th
Taureans love the best of everything. Maybe the current financial climate doesn’t lend itself to extravagance, but you might get away with a small spending spree. Whatever happens, five major planets are currently lazing back - and so should you. Power days: 9th, 19th, 29th Challenge days: 30th, 11th, 26th
Try as it might, Mercury holds little chance of stopping a determined Taurean. Your communication skills are on side and after the 11th, you’re back in control. Even unexpected disruptions should work in your favour. Meanwhile, finances don’t appear to be too dire either. Power days: 8th, 9th, 27th Challenge days: 1st, 10th
Home is where the Taurean heart is this month. But don’t expect it to be a solo stretch. You move towards more family involvement, and may be asked to give extra support. DIY fever also kicks in. So drag out those old dungarees - you’re ready paper and paint. Power days: 5th, 22nd, 31st Challenge days: 7th, 13th, 25th
Saturn decrees a change of scenery. Both home and work have seemed like too much hard work lately, so relax and have some fun. It’s also a hot-blooded month, one which whips up sexual prowess. If game enough, abandon all self-imposed inhibitions. Power days: 3rd, 19th, 28th Challenge days: 16th, 21st, 30th
Romantic encounters see many of you draped in little more than a bathrobe. Health may seem sluggish, though. If you haven’t been taking care of yourself properly - then make some extra effort to do so. Talk of precautions - unless you’re planning parenting, take extra care. Power days: 3rd,16th Challenge days: 14th, 25th, 29th
Relationships could be running a tad raw this month, especially if your feeling tetchy or even a tad guilty. Start talking, Taurus. Sometimes the best thing to do is simply own up and take your portion of the blame. This should help free up lines of communication. Power days: 16th, 26th Challenge days: 6th, 20th
Income increases, and you’ve earned it. The catch? You’re asked to handle those funds in a more sensible manner. Even so, there’s still time for a secretive tryst. If the prospect of being discovered becomes too dangerous, opt for imaginative musings instead. Power days: 2nd, 11th, 12th, 18th Challenge days: 13th, 22nd
Some years wave life’s contradictions in your face more than others, and 2007 seems happy to heckle. Instincts tell you to step forward - friends and family may ask that you step back. Some choose to openly disagree with your values and ideals, while others simply refuse to keep up with your mercurial pace. Ignore their jibes and go about your own business. Professionally and financially, It’s a pivotal year. It’s time to forge ahead with your life goals and personal callings. Should past lovers stray back within reach, keep the fire hose handy. Reignited embers could soon flare into a raging inferno.
Looks like you’re not as pliable as some would like. Geminis are way too sharp to be duped. Still, this mightn’t stop the less scrupulous contingent from working other angles - particularly if they know which buttons to push. They may even try a little emotional blackmail. Power days: 4th, 22nd, 26th Challenge days: 26th 28th
February’’s dilemma could be in choosing what to do - especially if you’ve been lucky enough to benefit from an increased cash flow. Travel, friendship and study are all offered. Contentment also graces your love life where, again - your greatest quandary is having too many options. Power days: 1st, 28th Challenge Days: 11th, 24th
After the 8th Mercury pushes forward, and so do you. But before moving at lightning speed, check that your idea are workable. Truthfully, any current delays should work in your favour. With borrowed time, previous cynics not only see the light but also your profit potential. Power days: 16th, 17th Challenge days: 10th, 23rd
Should you doubt whether you’re making the right choices this month, trust that you are. April is also a unique time for friendships. What can you hope for? Unconditional support. Not only the assistance that you offer, but the encouragement and love that’s so readily returned. Power days: 7th, 21st, 23rd, 26th Challenge days: 4th, 10th
May is more inclined to give you a spiritual nudge rather than a financial boost. Run with the compassionate route rather than the materialistic, and you could stumble across that elusive inner dimension. Maybe it’s not as deeply hidden as you think. Power days: 9th, 21st, 23rd Challenge days: 7th, 20th, 27th
Lately, it’s been hard to break free from the chains of responsibility. There’s always been some kind of nagging commitment sitting in the back of your mind or deadlines have drawn too close for comfort. But here’s a month that let’s you unwind and have fun. Relationships definitely benefit. Power days: 7th, 25th Challenge days: 11th, 26th
You’re almost always getting slapped over the wrists for overspending but, truth is, shopping’s an essential part of your whole being. You’d rather deal with monthly statements than do without "must haves". But here’s a month that refuses to extend your credit. Tragic, but true. Power days: 1st, 29th Challenge days: 6th, 20th
Given your capacity to learn, August should suit you well. The planets promote an atmosphere of open chat, enabling you to share your views with others. At the same time, you’re encouraged to discard outworn attitudes and embrace the new. This could mean travel. Power days: 3rd, 9th, 17th Challenge days: 14th, 18th
You’ve half a mind to make a run for it, especially when friends or family inflict their disapproving views. Ever wondered what you did in the last life to get stuck with this lot? It’s a puzzling time all round, so the best thing you can do is just go about your business, and ask others to do the same. Power days: 19th, 24th, 26th Challenge days: 3rd, 21st
October whisks many a Gemini from their work and plants them in the romantic playground. If single, the liaisons on offer are as licentious as you want them to be, and they’re also very close at hand. Your quest probably involves a short taxi fare, at most. Power days: 1st, 17th, 19th Challenge days: 5th, 20th
Geminis thrive on constant motion. Such a powerful life-force is a huge plus in maintaining good health, but even you can occasionally overtax your strength. While there’s little to suggest a slide in your well being, a balanced diet is a must. Consider it another challenge to be met. Power days: 8th, 16th, 21st Challenge days: 1st, 24th
Should you notice tiny cracks in relationship foundations, an even closer look may reveal that the most obvious stress lines lie beneath the bedroom. But there’s no need to hit the demolition button. In most cases, the planets suggest just a touch of renovation, rather than reconstruction. Power days: 14th, 20th, 30th Challenge days: 6th, 11th, 19th
It’s going to be a full-on 2007, both professionally and personally. Last year’s hard work finally starts to pay dividends. Some even come to know fame. More importantly, debts are repaid and personal partnerships thrive. But avoid becoming so busy wrapped in your own success that you don’t hear the cries of frustrated friends. While many may cope reasonably well, some of your nearest and dearest may be left sitting lonely and confused. Exhausted, too. So gather up those you call your own and make this next year a team effort. Besides, there’s safety in numbers...and much greater earning potential.
Some relationships might seem best abandoned through early January, but a calmer outlook mid-month should confirm that there’s plenty worth salvaging. Don’t let tetchy planets rule your heart or head. They have to move on - you needn’t. Power days: 5th, 24th Challenge days: 14th, 27th
A full moon on the 2nd summons in a super-sexy stretch. Romantic stakes continue to climb, with interests soaring through to late March. Singles expand sexual frontiers. Couples become more risqué. One word of warning: watch for deception after the 15th. Power days: 2nd, 20th Challenge days: 12th, 24th
After the 8th, communications flow more easily as does good news regarding career or money. Even so, friendships or travel may lure you away from work - as you’re ready, willing and able for anything that’s out of the norm. If the budget allows - go shop. Power days: 1st, 20th, 29th Challenge days: 9th, 22nd
Success might breed success but it also awakens a poor cousin called Envy. You’re on the way up Cancer, and that’s bound to bother some. Be sympathetic. After all, not everyone’s born with your special qualities. Besides, current triumphs have been hard-earned. Accept the glory that’s rightfully yours. Power days: 16th, 25th, 30th Challenge days: 5th, 18th
There are plenty of times when Cancerians want to eject reality. Luckily, this isn’t one of them but you might still feeling a tad stunned. All of a sudden, everyone’s being co-operative, to the point of making you wonder where the catch lies. Perhaps it’s just genuine friendship. Power days: 3rd, 14th, 22nd Challenge days: 16th, 18th, 30th
If you’ve taken to working on a hunch, your success rate is now surprisingly high. Cosmic trends are lending their weight to your powers of intuition this month, enabling some instinctive decision making when it really matters. Unexpected financial gains also look set to boost spending power. Power days: 1st, 10th, 18th Challenge days: 12th, 14th, 29th
Suddenly, life looks more appealing. Mars flirts with Venus, and the Sun beams right into your own sign of Cancer - which makes for a delightful time. You’re probably overdue for both challenge and change, especially if present routines have lost their sheen. Invitations won’t go ignored. Power days: 7th, 15th, 27th Challenge days: 6th, 10th, 24th
The spending spree is over, Cancer - so assign all those credit cards to the bin. You can curse marketing ploys all you like for worsening your financial woes, but you’re the one who’s taken the bait. It’s time for the banks to reel in their dues. Power days: 3rd, 12th, 30th Challenge days: 2nd, 6th, 21st
Don’t become disheartened by rumours. Sometimes words are scattered around just to test resolve. It is possible, however - that some is trying to break your spirit. You’re just as good as any competition - so be as formidable as the situation requires. Confidence leads to success. Power days: 8th, 14th, 27th Challenge days: 3rd, 17th, 30th
Seems it’s a busy month ahead. Family and social activities look memorable, with your home becoming the centre of much activity. Singles could find commitment via a family introduction, while those of you settled into a happy arrangement look set for some renewed spontaneity. Power days: 6th, 22nd, 25th Challenge days: 15th, 16th
November grants permission to play. Most Cancerians should find this freedom of spirit very welcome, and it’d have to be a very serious Crab who ignores this cosmic invite to down tools and enjoy. So why fix your mind on anything except the audacious? Power days: 2nd, 22nd, 27th Challenge days: 5th, 11th, 25th
It’s high time that others realised you’re not around merely to make up the numbers. Just take care that you don’t end up driving yourself too hard. Your devotion to duty is inspiring, but the planets warn that no amount of success can replace good health once it’s been lost. Power days: 7th, 19th, 28th Challenge days: 3rd, 9th, 22nd
For some time now, Leos have weathered tough times and paid their dues. Surely, you’ve worn all the nonsense that the heavens can muster. To a point. There will always be hurdles to clear, and challenges to overcome. 2007 keeps your mind pacing, and your pulse racing. Particularly so when winning hearts. And when Saturns swings in a sympathetic direction in September, you should act on any cues to promote ambitions. Even so, financial caution is still recommended. With Uranus disrupting your money sector, watch for a slowdown in earnings and an increase in expenditure.
Leos work hard and play wild. When on a roll, you effortlessly transform from gentle kitten to untamed tigress of the night. Just don’t forget your cat naps, or you’ll be using up too many lives too soon. Maintain your health, my feline friend. Power days: 2nd, 4th, 28th Challenge days: 7th, 11th, 25th
Mercury shifts into reverse which prompts a rethink of personal partnerships - encouraging you to question how you deal with life’s little variances. One particular event also causes you to realise that one or two judgements may have been a little too hasty in the making. Power days: 3rd, 17th, 23rd Challenge days: 8th, 10th, 26th
Good one, Leo. You’ve managed to make it to this point without being caught out. All you have to do now is keep your cards pinned close to your chest while doing business as usual. Two hints: don’t say more than you have to, and don’t fix what ain’t broke. Power days: 9th, 28th Challenge days: 5th, 19th
If you’ve an itch to try something new, maybe you should trust your instincts. Right now, the cosmos is preparing any number of options you may care to experience. Travel’s looking particularly likely, so it wouldn’t hurt to have your suitcases packed for all weather conditions. Power days: 8th, 11th, 19th Challenge days: 10th, 24th
Success looks imminent. For starters, you’re inspired - so there’s no lack of ingenious ideas to hustle with. Next up, you’ve a truckload of energy, and are willing to put it to good use. No less importantly, you’re a true die-hard. Anyone else would have given up by now. Power days: 3rd, 8th Challenge days: 13th, 23rd
Some plans may be compromised by a lack of funds, but don’t let this ruin a good month. Rather than worry about what you have and don’t have, focus on the love that surrounds you. This is something of a social stretch for Leos, so do what friends do. Power days: 11th, 13th Challenge days: 5th, 9th
You don’t seem yourself until the 11th, Leo. Instead of racing along at breakneck speed, ambitions give way to a gentler, more meditative pace. Perhaps for good reason. Sometimes you need slow down to ensure a safe journey ahead. Still, it needn’t be a lonely excursion. Power days: 5th, 24th Challenge days: 7th, 22nd, 30th
Use August for love and fun, before professional demands truly set in. Whether your contact is through work or play, your romantic strike looks high. Money should be equally plentiful, so spend a little. Declare this a reward spell and treat yourself accordingly. Power days: 15th, 19th, 23rd Challenge days: 5th, 13th, 20th
If you didn’t exploit last month’s invitation to have fun, don’t worry. Venus gives you a second chance, but the offer won’t last forever - so go make the best of that famous Leo charm. The best news: after months of wading through a sea of bills, the cash finally starts to flow in. Power days: 1st, 16th, 22nd Challenge days: 4th, 19th, 26th
When on a roll, very little can break your momentum. This month you’re hurtling along on the passion of a great idea, which means everyone’s going to hear about it. But it does pay to have your facts straight when arguing this strenuously. Over confidence could be your weaken defences. Power days: 9th, 20th, 30th Challenge days: 3rd, 19th
You can’t keep everyone happy, especially during a month when family interests stray far apart. Children show little respect for your values, and new friends feel like they’ve just been introduced to Bart and Lisa. To top it all off, hidden secrets threaten to be revealed. Power days: 4th, 20th, 29th Challenge days: 1st, 17th, 30th
It isn’t just the year that’s rounding its last bend. One particular phase of your life is coming to an end. Not to worry. You’re merely trading what’s worn-out for something far more exciting. Romantically, you’re on a hot new stamping ground. Let the dancing begin. Power days: 12th, 14th, 19th Challenge days: 1st, 21st, 24th
This year forces a review of priorities. Take your cue from February’s retrograde Mercury to correct mistakes and reconcile differences. You must also decide what truly motivates and fulfils you. Freedom of thought and performance both at work and home are essential. But so is balance. As is accepting the reality of what you’ve created. Do this, and you will emerge from 2007 with greater maturity and wisdom. September finds you in an unstoppable, determined mood. You’re direct without seeming abrasive, so others willingly support your plans. It’s not all work, though. There’s plenty of play to be had as well.
Mars issues erotic invitations, with torrid intensity spilling into a romantic new year. At the same time, Venus helps to soothe any hint of stress in long term relationships. Enjoy this time while you can - as subsequent months push more for professional and financial gain. Power days: 4th, 22nd, 26th Challenge days: 26th 28th
If nursing fragile nerves and a short fuse, this isn’t the best time for negotiation. Wend your way to the sick bay, Virgo. Tetchy emotions are racing around unchecked, and it’s not a pretty sight. Thankfully, the latter half of the month feels healthier - physically and emotionally. Power days: 1st, 28th Challenge Days: 11th, 24th
Love has an inevitable way of going stale unless you preserve it’s freshness. Spontaneity’s an important ingredient, but that’s usually dependent on having a relaxed lifestyle - not something that comes naturally to workaholic Virgos. Why not consider a romantic holiday? Rediscover the magic. Power days: 16th, 17th Challenge days: 10th, 23rd
April suggests a move towards places of retreat or privacy. A secret love affair could begin, or perhaps entanglements from the past disrupt your present in some way. Should you feel the need to withdraw from others, use whatever excuse to turn down intrusive invitations. Power days: 7th, 21st, 23rd, 26th Challenge days: 4th, 10th
More recently many of your ambitions have been left in idle, but not so now. With the lure of exotic shores gripping your imagination, your mind’s open to travel and new studies. Whether social or professional - foreign affairs look just the ticket. In more ways than one. Power days: 9th, 21st, 23rd Challenge days: 7th, 20th, 27th
Once again, that Virgo dependability gets a chance to shine. June’s all about knuckling down and getting the job done without so much as a sigh. If this sounds like just a matter of course, you should be aware that not everyone takes to their duties so readily. More power to you. Power days: 7th, 25th Challenge days: 11th, 26th
Even when battling against the odds, there’s often someone or something that will help you along the way. And here’s a month when one small gesture could make all the difference. Stay optimistic, Virgo. That in itself should attract the assistance you need. Power days: 1st, 29th Challenge days: 6th, 20th
Every now and then we’re offered a glimpse of that "something special" that can lure mind, body and soul into a realm of new possibilities. Like now. August encourages you to try something new. Don’t worry about falling behind, others will pick up the slack. Transcend. Power days: 3rd, 9th, 17th Challenge days: 14th, 18th
Virgos get a chance to walk on the wild side, and this is bound to raise a few eyebrows. Others expect you to stick to your principles which, on the face of it, can seem rather restrictive. But of course, appearances can be deceptive. Clever you. Power days: 13th, 17th, 19th, 24th Challenge days: 3rd, 21st
Mercury requests that you get your affairs in order this month. It’s time to strip away the clutter, especially if you’re burdened with way too many pressures and obligations. Finances need more attention, particularly joint matters and taxes. Power days: 1st, 17th, 19th Challenge days: 5th, 20th
You’re on a roll, Virgo. Not only are the ideas sparking, they’re also connecting - with seemingly few thoughts left lying by the wayside. Often as not, many of your projects dawdle along in the slow lane, but not now. Jaws drop as you power into top gear, and race ahead. Power days: 8th, 16th, 21st Challenge days: 1st, 24th
Career issues may have to queue in deference to family matters. As much of a platitude as it may seem, the answer lies in finding the balance professional and domestic commitment, especially during the festive season. Right now, stability relies on keeping loved ones happy. Power days: 14th, 20th, 30th Challenge days: 6th, 11th, 19th
While others map out a clear blueprint for the coming year, Librans mull over the past. More recently, relationships and career have suffered a severe reality check. Seeing your inner strength put on the rack can be a queasy experience, but there are always valuable lessons to be learned. As means of reward, what you sacrificed in the past is now returned tenfold. Venus brings love and laughter. Uranus offers prosperity. Armed with a renewed joie de vivre - life takes on a more energetic theme. Whatever the activity, you’ll enjoy the company that comes with it. By 2008, few dreams should escape unfulfilled.
Though family priorities remain important - you now learn to gently put your own needs first. Whether through travel or work, this next month promises a recharged sense of purpose. The Sun helps to focus your efforts, at the same time providing a realistic view. Power days: 13th, 15th, 26th Challenge days: 19th, 22nd
February promises enough romantic sparkle to light up even the darkest moments. So try to set aside some time to play. Whether it’s love, sport, music or a creative pursuit - indulge in the things that promise happy days.....and nights, ahead. Power days: 13th, 26th Challenge days: 7th, 9th, 20th
If you’re trying to scrape up that last trace of chocolate, maybe your diet needs addressing. This is a month for dredging out the digestive tract before it‘s no longer navigable. A good dose of competitive exercise wouldn’t go amiss either. Time to shape up. Power days: 8th, 9th, 10th, 17th, 31st Challenge days: 14th, 28th
Money and status may be gained through partnerships or marriage. At the same time, couples crave more personal space. You might need to give partners more room to move, but in doing so you gain a far better perspective. And then you get to spend some of that lovely cash....together. Power days: 11th, 26th, 27th Challenge days: 2nd, 4th
This is a contemplative month, when you should listen to your heart and not your mind. In learning to trust your instincts, you can gain remarkable inner strength and insight. Love brings surprises around the 25th, with romantic interests possibly venturing into illicit territory. Power days: 1st, 25th, 30th Challenge days: 7th, 13th, 27th
When Librans feel this tethered, there’s little peace in the house. That’s why you should grab June’s invitation to escape routine. Travel’s possible, so scrape up every spare dollar and and book that ticket now. How often do you get the chance to do this? Once in a blue moon. Power days: 9th, 19th, 29th Challenge days: 30th, 11th, 26th
