Wanna’ have some fun close to home, from Rivers to Wineries?

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): Hello to all of the Rams out there! During the first part of the month you may find that things go smoothly as you bury yourself into business to bring things in line with what 2009 may bring. It would be wise to focus on business, and how you manage shared resources. By bringing these in line with your work ethic and health habits, you increase how much you can maximize what you can create in 2009. The second half the month may bring more of a call for adjustment, as you may find yourself reviewing relationships in your life, both personal and professional. Whether you change how you handle your relationships is entirely up to you as we live in a free will zone, but one thing is for sure: it would be optimal to reevaluate them and the role they play in your life.

 

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): The first half of the month may bring challenges to your door with regards to some of the higher concepts in life, such as philosophy and spirituality, as well as business and resource management. You may also find that travel challenges come up as well. This can be something as simple as having to redo travel plans. Or it can be as subtle as looking into vehicular maintenance. You may also find that diplomacy is the name of the game for the first half of February as well. During the second half of the month, things will soften up quite a bit with fewer challenges in those areas, and things going smoothly to prepare for spring. By exercising the aforementioned diplomacy, you may find that you are in a position to grease the wheels of your world a little easier. To assist you with this is the fact that the work you do now, as well as its done responsibly, will put you into a position to create a solid foundation going forward.

 

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): The first half of the month is going to require some work, but it can open up skills and opportunities that you never knew existed. Most of the first part of the month will find emphasis on your career and the workplace. This may also include where you are going professionally. The second half of the month may bring challenges, but it will also bring you more into the spotlight of where ever you are currently working. The challenges that may be brought to your door are challenges regarding your relationships, how you handle them, and how you allow them to impact you and your professional life. However, one thing to remember during the whole month is that you will have challenges with regards to lessons, structure, and foundation. These challenges will intensify as the month goes on, but if adjustments are made, these challenges will provide growth opportunities for improvement of the self.

 

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): This is a month that may seem like just another month for you Cancers out there, but there are hidden opportunities available to you if you put forth the networking work. The first half of this month is going to spotlight your social circles and group associations. This includes all manners of groups that you may be a member of, but excluding your family. The second half of the month is much more active, as you will find yourself in a situation to create a lasting foundation going forward with regards to health habits and relationships. Another opportunity that awaits you in the latter half of the month is with regards to defining more of your individuality. Finally, one other opportunity brought to your door is the emphasis that will be placed on creating more of who you are, and how you can harmonize expressing who you are versus conservatism.

 

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): This is the month, Leos. The first half of the month you may find things that have been buried come to the surface to be addressed. This may be in conflict with your work and/or health habits, but there is a tension that is present, and unless you take steps to address this, it will come out on its own in a way that you may not like. The second half of the month will find things a little more relaxed, as you will find social circles, groups, organizations, and associations brought into the spotlight. Towards the end of the month, you may begin to see the necessity for bringing some things in your life to a necessary ending. Be careful how you handle these things, though, since we are still so new into the New Year, and the new opportunities that present themselves to you. This is a natural cycle being completed, so be cautioned to exercise wisdom whenever possible.

 

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): During the first half of the month, you may find yourself in an interesting position, Virgos, as you are in a position to work well with the energies of change that are in the wind. There are also hidden opportunities present to increase your social or professional circles should you choose to do so. These opportunities will manifest should you choose to put extra effort into making this happen, but these opportunities are not visible at first glance. Most of this will be focused around the betterment of you as a personality. The second half of the month will bring a different kind of energy to your awareness, as you will notice a certain tension in the air. By itself, this is neither good nor bad, but it does put you in a position to create your world more clearly. You may find that, in order to accomplish what you have in the planning stages, the development of the individuality may have to take a back seat to conservatism and structure.   

 

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): The first half of the month is going to put you into many positions to work with your resources, Librans. These situations may not manifest quickly, but they will give you a solid foundation over time to work from. The areas of life that will be highlighted are the areas of personal resources. This is usually money, but it can also mean other resources that you may have. The second half of the month will find more opportunities brought to your door to develop and heal the self. This time of the month provides an excellent opportunity to re-evaluate who you are, and whether or not you are comfortable with yourself. Part of the reason for this is that we are quickly approaching spring, and as we all know, spring is when the year truly kicks off!

 

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): The first half of this month is going to bring many challenges to your door Scorpios. Watch out for challenges regarding communications, siblings, and maybe even your computer! There may also be opportunities brought to you with regards to transformation. As we al know, if we don’t take the initiative on transformation, it will be brought to our door. The second half of the month will be more positive as you will notice opportunities brought to your door to re-evaluate structure, limitations, and lessons. You will also find yourself in a position to work with work habits, health habits, and relationships. Overall, this is a very positive month, but just be aware of the opportunities that are brought to your door so that you can work with them before they manifest in ways you may not want them to.

 

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): This is the month to focus on the home. While you may find this an easy-going month for the first half of it, you may also find that the most you can get out of the month is on the home front. The second half of the month is when things will heat up with challenges galore. The first challenge to watch for is in the area of creating your individuality. If you have to choose between going with the flow or carving out your unique niche, be cautioned to go with the flow. You may also find yourself challenged with lessons, limitations, and creating a lasting structure.  If you are put in a bind, play things conservatively, and slowly if necessity dictates. You may also find challenges brought to your door in the latter half of the month with regards to communications, siblings, and computers, so when things get touchy, just remember that laughter is the most effective banishment!

 

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): This month starts off with a bang Capricorn! The first things you may notice are all of the transformation opportunities brought to your door. Most of these opportunities are going to give you opportunities to more creatively express yourself. The second half of the month is going to be more interesting. There are going to be opportunities brought to your door with regards to creating stability and a solid foundation going forward. While the second half of the month may go smoothly, this will happen because it would be wise to put the attention on the home in the latter part of February. As the month goes on, you may find yourself in situations to express your individuality in better and more unique ways, especially in the areas of relationships.

 

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): This is your month Aquarians! Happy Birthday to the collection of unique individuals known as Aquarians. This month you may find opportunities for personal growth in the areas of service. You may also want to focus on your health habits, work routines, and analysis skills. The second half of the month may take a little bit of adjustment, but in the long run it will be very little effort for maximum results. All in all, keep that level head that you are known for, and you are set for a nice, relaxing month. One final point to note is that, just about at the very end of the month, you may find challenges brought to your door with regards to lessons and limitations, but this will only be around for a few days, so take it with a grain of salt.

 

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): This is an excellent month for the fish out there. The area of life to pay attention to this month would be relationships. There may be some adjustments that you should think about making, but they are slight indeed. The second half of the month will be easier going, and for the most part, you will have opportunities brought to your door with regards to transformation and foundation building. While there may be some tension in the air regarding building a foundation to work from going forward, there are also opportunities in the air to reinvent yourself, so, if you choose, take this time right before your birth sign to make any changes that may be overdue, or that you feel like making.
