WEEKLY FORECAST:
ARIES: March 21-April 19
Sunday starts a month of ambition, Aries. Higher-ups will be watching your progress, and will have some advice or notes regarding this in January or February. Prestige relations, worldly standing, dressing up for the occasion, joining status organizations — all are favoured in the weeks ahead. You might, briefly or more permanently, join the ranks of management. Bosses will be critical, yet will recognize your executive abilities. A fortunate influence enters this area midweek, until mid January — a woman might help you climb the ladder. Good advisors and good intelligence on your part, HU for the rest of December. Remember, your home or real estate is the luckiest “place” or goal for you for another six months. Dress your best Sunday — you might run into a business or career opportunity. Monday dawn (PST) to early suppertime Wednesday brings a light heart, popularity and social joys, optimism and flirting. Happiness rules! But take care late Tuesday and Wednesday morning/noon — romantic fantasies are just that. Retreat, relax, contemplate and plan Wednesday eve to midnight Friday. Avoid competition, seek advice. This is a benign interval, good for contacting gov’t or head office. Your energy and charisma soar Saturday (and the weekend) — which is probably good, since you face a lot of obstacles and “conquering them” will boost you up on the career front.
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
The weeks ahead focus on gentle love, far travel, higher learning, law, social rituals, life philosophy, and media, Taurus. Sunday brings this influence front and centre — and might open the door to a friendship or partnership. But if you live in Europe or Asia or Australia, DO NOT pursue love this day. Ultimately, this is a romantic influence. You might decide that you love someone — now all you’ve got to do is talk them into it! People or a person who began to fade in your favour the last few months, now seem like a good choice. However, wait until March or April to make up your mind. Conditions/situations will change on a pretty deep level. Conversations, travel and paperwork remain lucky but might be be a little overwhelming. You might hear or discover secrets about a young person. Be ambitious Monday morning to late afternoon Wednesday (PST). You can impress higher-ups, but be careful Tues. night/Wed. morning, when you might be confused about something (esp. a legal something). Happiness arrives Wednesday eve through Friday: optimism, popularity and social delights, flirtations and entertainment fill these few days. But retreat, find a quiet spot to rest and think, plan, seek advice, liaise with gov’t or management types, Saturday (and the weekend). Don’t push too hard or extend yourself too much, as this day “likes to argue.”
GEMINI: May 21-June 20
The weeks ahead hold many temptations, Gemini. The doors will open, whether a little bit or wide, to lust, power plays, secrets, investigation, large finances,
and medical and lifestyle options. If honest and moral, you can gain in these areas, even gain hugely. You can learn valuable information that leads to profit, especially if you follow the lead of a prominent or powerful person. Good luck here will enter Wednesday morning (to mid January) not before. Some of you might begin an affair that is very physical, but could, over time, reveal incompatibilities. Such a person might appear this Sunday. (If he/she appeared Saturday night [Dec. 20] or Sunday [Dec. 21] up to 3 AM Eastern Time or before noon in Europe, or before 3 pm CCT, the relationship will be a difficult one.) Look for practical opportunities Sunday afternoon/night. Love, intelligence, far travel, media, law, higher learning — these capture your attention Monday (dawn PST) to suppertime Wed. Be slightly cautious — fantasy, or seeing love where there is none, can interfere with your judgement, even cause a disruption/falling out, later Wed. This night through Friday, be ambitious, show your skills, talk up the boss, etc. — good results. Saturday is for fun and socializing, but the aspects are not good, the worst coming around suppertime when arguments are accidents are possible. So be happy but keep a light touch!
CANCER: June 21-July 22
Sunday starts four weeks of relationships, relocation themes, public appearances, opportunities and opposition, Cancer. You hold the “lucky cards” this winter, while the other person could hold all the “power cards.” Your luck is personal until next June, but also relates to work, employment. (One of the areas you should push optimistically, ask for a pay raise, etc.) Mars says watch out to avoid belligerent people and be diplomatic with everyone, until late January. Venus also enters your relationship area Wednesday, so the times ahead might feature a sweet union. So, sweet and sour for relations. Communications are not easy (now to late January) — watch for gossip, secrets you don’t want revealed. Sunday highlights all relationships — bad in the morning, good in the evening (PST — add 8 hours for Britain, 15 hrs for China, etc.). Life’s deeper side, sex, pregnancy, financial actions, medical and lifestyle choices, emerges Monday to early suppertime Wed. Good stuff here Monday, slowly fading to ridiculously wrong by Wed. This night through Friday brings wisdom, a mellow mood, gentle love, profound thoughts, law, scholarship, far travel…a great interval, so plunge in. Careful Saturday — be ambitious, dress “up,” but realize many obstacles/problems float through this day, so “carefully” get things done. Beware sharp tools, chemicals Saturday pm.
LEO: July 23-Aug. 22
Work, work and more work, Leo, for the next four weeks. You will be working more physically than usual, so watch sudden changes in temperature, abusing your muscles, etc. Your health needs protecting – minor protection – for the month ahead. The love planet Venus enters your work sphere this Wednesday, so it’s very possible that a coworker romance will spring up. This sweet and sour trend at work will last to late January. You might still be uttering words of love to someone special, although that’s more likely next week than now. Major projects seem to be slow to develop, but everything will start to wake up in January/February. Sunday features work and health. If you were born in Europe or Asia, do not attempt to start a new love relationship before late Sunday afternoon. Relationships and opportunities come front and centre Monday dawn (PST) to early supper time Wednesday. This is a good, mostly happy interval, but beware mixing reality and fantasy, or fantasizing about a love that could never be, especially late Tuesday into Wednesday. Life’s depths, secrets, investigation, valuable facts, finances, medical and lifestyle choices, sex and lust, enter Wednesday eve through Friday — a good, productive interval. Saturday’s for wisdom, international concerns, far travel, higher learning, etc. — but is almost totally “blocked,” so pick small goals, harmless pursuits.
VIRGO: Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Ah, sweet romance, Virgo! The four weeks ahead hold a treasure of feelings, desires, good luck, pleasure, beauty, joy with children, and all-round happiness. You are more social this year, which will boost your confidence and romantic potential. Partly, this romantic trend will hold a fair portion of pure lust, and another portion of selfless affection. In addition, your romance planet (Saturn) is now in your marriage sign — as is your marriage planet. This could be a significant month ahead! Discussions are still ongoing in your family, perhaps about your abode — this is lifting you from the fog of November, home-wise. Sunday’s romantic. But if you met anyone yesterday (Saturday, Dec. 20) or do so Sunday pre-dawn PST (Sunday before 8 am British time, 4 pm in China, 6 pm Australia, etc.) DO NOT PURSUE. This person would eventually grow (or already is) cold to you, and can be cruel. You might not believe this, but instead remain in “fantasy” about this person all week. Walk away! BUT 2 hours to 16 hours later, the right, best prospect might cross your field of vision (around suppertime PST). Tackle chores and protect your health Monday dawn (PST) to early suppertime Wed. You’ll get a lot done, but take care late Tuesday and Wed., as illusion and disruption enter. Relationships, opportunities (and opposition) public stances and relocation themes fill Wednesday eve through Friday — approach someone, state your case — you might get lucky. Saturday’s for finances, secrets, research, lust/sex, power plays, medical decisions — but this day is so filled with obstacles that you might be wise to just sit back and observe. NOT a good time to commit to anything, anyone.
LIBRA: Sept. 23-Oct. 22
The weeks ahead accent your home, family, garden, real estate, security, food and Mother Nature, Libra. This is an ending time, and a beginning time. A good time to get rid of stale, unproductive relationships/projects, a good time to prune, to edit. Your home might be subject to friction until late January, so be gentle, especially with children. By the middle of this week, you are beginning to throw yourself into domestic zones with strength, conviction, and flair — and beauty. So this is a fine time to paint, renovate, and make your residence your own. (You might also invest in real estate in the next few weeks, but proceed with caution.) You are still talking to someone who seemed significant during the last few weeks. Sunday brings all this home stuff — careful early day (bad love) look for the opportunity late day. Romance, beauty and pleasure, risk-taking, and creative surges fill Monday dawn (PST) to early supper time Wednesday — a good interval, but be sure you are not fantasizing, especially about someone’s health or job. Tackle chores Wed. eve through Friday — a great interval, you’ll get a lot accomplished. Saturday is for relationships and opportunities — careful, others do not want to co-operate; they want to dominate. Silence best.
SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 21
The weeks ahead bring a flurry of messages, communicating, travel, errands, reports and paperwork, Scorpio. It will be a lively, even restless time. An excellent time to gather information. You will have two sides now till late January: one is affectionate, gracious; the other is impatient, impetuous and argument prone. Let affection rule — or at least, apologize if you get too rough. Lots of talk (or reports) about earnings and possessions. You are free to buy anything now, but don’t buy whatever you were desiring in November. Sunday highlights communications and errands. If you met someone the day before. (Dec. 20) or do so early Sunday (PST) DON’T pursue. You could fall in love in the most painful (and never rewarding) way. (For exact times, see Virgo’s message.) Be home, or with family, Monday dawn (PST) to early suppertime Wed. All’s good, but don’t chase an alluring person — fantasy and frustration. Wednesday eve through Friday brings romantic notions, beauty, pleasure, and a winning streak. Be creative, or take a gamble. Charge ahead, you’re a winner! Saturday is for work. Eat, dress sensibly. And proceed cautiously, esp. around sharp tools and chemicals.
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The weeks ahead bring themes of income, spending, possessions, casual sex, and rote learning, Sage. Not a hugely significant time, but it might, in the four weeks ahead, trigger a physical attraction or a lucky financial opening. (Though these might suffer a delay of two or three months before results appear.) Money will flow to you, but you also will love to spend — so what remains? You remain talkative and interested in partnership and career — recent delays or misgivings here dissolve now. Sunday highlights these money themes. A “romantic trap” awaits everyone; it occurred at 9 pm Saturday PST, which equals midnight EST, 5 am Sunday in Britain, 9 pm in China, etc. A romantic attraction formed now will lead, very soon, to fantasy (Wed.) then to long, unchanging disappointment. Paperwork, reports, communications and errands fill Monday to early suppertime Wed. — a good, productive interval, but avoid “dreams that lead to accidents” late Tuesday and Wed. Head for home, hug the family, garden, rest, contemplate Wednesday eve through Friday. A solid Interval, a good time to start renovations, security projects or plan a family adventure. Saturday starts a romantic, creative weekend, but has problems all day long. Wait-and-see might be the best advice.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
This is your time, Cap! You’ll shuck off recent weariness, as you start the most energetic, effective and charismatic month of your year. This is the time to start new projects, to see and be seen, to gather allies. One glitch: if your plans include a partnership or association, or the public, or a relocation, or a new opportunity, you might find doubt and indecision delay these, or delay another’s response, until early (second week) of March. To some degree, you are still dealing with contacts from the past — these will dissipate or fall away by mid February. You can be quite ferocious and demanding – and impulsive – until late January. At the same time, and almost for the same duration, a sweet, gentle affection will course through your veins. So it’s a sweet’n’sour thing. Secrets, valuable information hover around you. Sunday, your energy and optimism are tops — jump through an open door, grab an opportunity. For love, read Sagittarius’ message about a “romantic trap.” Chase $, casual sex, possessions and rote learning Monday to early suppertime Wed. Monday’s great. Tuesday late, and Wednesday, illusion tempts, and reality hits — be cautious. Paperwork, trips, common actions, data, reports — these fill Wednesday eve through Friday — and very successfully, so charge ahead. Saturday is domestic, but contains obstacles. Be gentle with kids this pm.
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 18
Every year, each of us must go through a month of quietude and recuperation, Aquarius. Now it’s your turn, until late January. Be content, contemplate, plan future actions, groom your soul (comb all the little temptations out of it) and recharge your emotional and physical batteries. Avoid competitive situations. (Oddly, professional athletes will outperform now.) You still face a big load of chores (until next July) but don’t feel you must rush through them. Patience is your virtue now. You are hanging onto one hope, perhaps involving a Gemini or Sagittarius. You might be crawling into a secret romance — be ethical! (Or you might watch a friend’s affair as it throws off sparks.) Sunday features the weariness of this month ahead. Read Sagittarius’ message about a “romantic trap” this day. Your energy and charisma rise Monday to early supper Wed. This starts well, but you might run into fantasy, illusion or lies late Tuesday, early Wed.
Chase money, pay bills, make purchases, and welcome casual sex, or rote learning Wednesday eve through Friday — you’ll succeed! Saturday brings errands, trips, communications and paperwork — but be careful, as this day promises arguments, paper cuts, and other frustrations. Don’t write any emails you might regret later.
PISCES: Feb. 19-March 20
A month of good times starts now, Pisces. Optimism, popularity, entertainment, social delights and flirtations will lift your heart. The social whirl will be more whirling than usual. Venus and Mars will bring new romance, if you’re single. If attached, parties and groups will add satisfaction and buoyancy to your days. Deep romance is still strong, healthy and fortunate, but stalled — expect forward motion, March onward. In some ways, this month to mid February is a last, great chance to form really solid goals for your future. Sunday focuses on social life and future projects (and wishing!). Read Sagittarius’ message about love this day, beginning with “A romantic trap…” Retreat from the hustle and bustle Monday to early suppertime Wed. Rest, recharge, contemplate and plan. However, be cautious Tuesday eve through Wed., when illusions and wrong words could frustrate. (A love born now will also frustrate.) Your energy and charisma soar Wednesday eve through Friday — a great, fortunate interval, so charge ahead, Pisces. Start things, approach people, make a name for yourself! Saturday is a different story. The emphasis is on money and possessions, shopping and intimate sex this day, but the aspects are poor, especially as we approach evening (PST). Be cautious, keep a grip on your wallet. Despite all the grim stuff mentioned here, this week will be a happy one!
THE END.
AFTERAMBLE:
We all tend to make unwise decisions when the lunar south node is in our Sun sign. The south node has been in Virgo since January 2025, and will remain in this sign until late July, 2026.
Nick Reiner, who was recently arrested and charged with murdering his famous father Rob and his mother Michele, is a Virgo. Nick was born Sept. 14 — so about 21 degrees Virgo Sun at birth. The much-mentioned argument between Nick and his father was a patina over a deeper compulsion to murder. The temptation to kill his dad began as a small seed last January, and grew from there. It would be interesting to see his birth chart.
***
BTW, the nodes change signs approximately every 18 months. So the south node will be in Leo from late July 2026 to late March 2028. Then in Cancer, April 2028 to late September 2029. Then in Gemini Sept. 2029 to March 2031, and so on. (The lunar nodes travel “backwards,” in the opposite direction to the planets.)
The opposite signs of the ones above (Aquarius, ’26 – ’28, Capricorn 2028 to 2029. And Sagittarius 2029 to 2031) will enjoy a “break from karma,” or a mellow mood leading to wise decisions, during the applicable 18 month period.

Pluto entered Aquarius on March 23, 2023 at 4:14 AM Pacific standard Time. The solar chart for that time/date describes the segment of destiny between 2023 and 2043. It is subordinate to the November 1983 chart of Pluto entering Scorpio, which shows the general prevailing influences until 2229AD.
So for the next 20 years (well, only 18 years left) this chart can be our guide. The sun and two planets are in Aries, the sign of dispute, violence and war… And of humour and courage, impulse and inventiveness. We are going to see a lot of invention., Especially in the areas of steel, machinery, weapons, war material, surgery, mining, and sports.
Those who rely on income will be favoured; those who rely on capital gain will be very clever and good hearted, and yet might run into very complex situations where it is difficult to tell truth from falsehood.
Anyone can see that our social structures are changing. Pluto is bringing about these changes. This is the segment, 2023 to 43, in which we can see the future with a new accuracy. Bureaucrats will continue to exercise a shadowy form of control that exceeds their mandate; and they will be successful in this.
There will be disputes over land, such as in Ukraine at present. Taurus people will be blessed during this segment until 2 043, especially ambitious Taurus people. Scorpio people will farewell if they seek partners, associates, cultivate a public image, relocate, and/or jump on opportunities. Independence is a dead end for this sign.

Once you see a certain thing, you never blame anyone for anything anymore. It’s like climbing one small step up the stairway of happiness.

I have a fierce face. I always look like I’m scowling, or ready to jump up and punch you in the nose. When I was seven, my mother brought her three children from the East Coast to Vancouver on the west. This placed my Mars on my ascendant, so I look, and to some degree act, like an Aries, not the Gemini/Libra I am.
***
Our lives are shaped in many ways. Our parents and their beliefs inform our beliefs in massive ways. Then there is the influence of peer group, outside adults, blah blah blah.
But we are strongly attached to these patterns, no matter how much we intellectually, and/or vocally decry discrimination. So if one’s parents are bigoted, and one recognizes this in themselves and works to prevent it or rid themselves of it, that’s a heroic act, and this person, outside their workday and domestic duties – including love – should teach others to see the world in the same un- prejudiced way. To see all other human beings as first and foremost, human beings.
This is why I have such hope for the younger generations. The millennials started this trend or seeing humans as humans. This prevents wars, and reduces other kinds of ugliness/weakness. GenZ and those earlier, have raised this new, mostly earth-wide empathy, for all others of the species to a moral habit. This level (Gen Z, etc.) is much stronger and freer from the mistakes of power. It is a true step forward for mankind. So I see these youngsters as true bearers of Hope.

You know all these teenagers that commit suicide after being hounded on the Internet for a week or more by other teenagers? I’m thinking of a new career for myself: I will hire out to any family suffering this situation. I’ll go on the internet and give these accusers such a load of accusations and insults and slurs that they would give up and run away. Since there’s usually a group of boys , I would single out one of them, and tell the rest that he’s a homosexual, and that he actually told me in person secretly that he wanted to go to bed with two of the people in the group. This and a host of other insults and slurs… How about discussing their mother’s — ? It should be easy to out gross a little band of nasty teenagers.

Last week, a man and a woman about millennial age, were accosted by a mugger who tried to take the woman’s purse. He had a knife with what looked like a six or 8 inch blade. When the mugger grabbed the woman’s arm, her male companion stepped away and hid behind a wall. The woman continued to struggle. At one point, a man walked by, a fairly large man over 6 foot and fit, stopped, watched for a moment in hesitation, then walked away. Suddenly, a man in the white T-shirt, also about millennial age, came charging from the left of the screen and swung a motorcycle helmet into the mugger‘s head. At that point, three or four men rushed in and started beating the mugger. At one point they let the mugger stand up and he began to stumble away, down the sidewalk. At this point, the cowardly boyfriend or husband ran out of his hiding place and punched the mugger from behind.
The week before, the news reported that a man in New Zealand took his wife to climb a mountain. In a middle of the night, he snuck away and left her on the mountain. He was an experienced climber/hiker; she was not. She died from hypothermia.
And it seems only a week before that there was a similar story of a couple hiking on some mountain (in Indonesia?). Again, he was experienced, she was not. He abandoned her. She was later found dead.
I think there is a strong causal link between the entire woke movement, and such incidents. These anecdotes might be canaries in civilization’s coal mine.
The trans movement, taught from kindergarten to university, the at least partial acceptance by medical doctors of altering children’s sexuality (one doctor called lopping off boys penises a “money train”) the DEI awareness, which stated all sexes and combinations of sexes, and all of what were formally called perversions are now acceptable… After a childhood and teen-hood spent bathing in woke’s pool (formerly the swamps of PC) — and being punished if they didn’t – is it any wonder that some of the male characteristics have fled also? Why should a man protect a woman anymore?
From my perspective, the man who abandoned his female companion was a coward. But maybe from his perspective, and perhaps the perspective of his generation, he was simply being self protective — protecting the self is the greatest good. (A belief that is commonly overcome by parenting or by simply growing older, usually 40 onward.)
Most significantly, the cowardly boyfriend was a harbinger, announcing 1) that the old social mores are not going to last; and 2) heralding a new kind of selfishness.
It also tracks (for these things have already begun, having reached their climax during the woke years, the Biden years in America) a new kind of equality between men and women. Their roles are becoming more fluid (a trend that really started in the 1950s, and probably grew out of the Second World War) with men generally ceding ground and women gaining influence – though still far less than men’s. (I’ve heard that in N.A., there are more female law students than male ones.)
