Your Month Ahead

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

You begin this month feeling a greater love and closeness with another or/and with yourself. There may even be a greater focus on all things sexual so avoid feeling embarrassed about any thoughts or feelings you are having. Everything may feel a little intense for you for the first week or so of September although it won’t be unpleasant.

The middle of the month finds you feeling calmer and more balanced. The week of September the 14th onward opens up channels of communication between you and others. Those conversations that really need to happen are likely to take place around this time. This is a good time to speak up and be heard. Just beware to avoid petty arguments.

The end of the month brings the focus back to love and you may find yourself more romantic than usual. You will also find teamwork easier at this time and if you work with others it should be enjoyable for you during this period.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21)

The start of this month will find you setting boundaries as you realise your worth and what you deserve. Don’t feel bad about treating yourself to a little bit of self-indulgence. It’s also okay to say “NO” to others.

The second week of September is a great time for intimacy, although as you get closer to the middle of the month don’t let feelings of jealousy take over. It will be a very passionate and intense time for you, so remember to take a breath and think before you act. You might even find yourself feeling suspicious of others where there is no need to.

The end of the month brings a relief to the intensity you were previously feeling although you might find that you have a tendency to overthink at this time. Don’t allow those worries to turn into anxiety. Make an effort to talk to others rather than allowing your thoughts to get out of control. Reaching out to others at this time will bring you reassurance and greater love.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

The first week and half of the month will find you focusing on what you actually want. This is the time to use your excellent communication skills to let others know exactly what you need. Feelings may rise to make it easier for you to recognise and admit your desires. Allow them to flow.
