A mixture of progressive and traditional energies describes the next two weeks, when communicative Mercury enters practical Capricorn on the 14th, the Sun enters unconventional Aquarius on the 20th and the New Moon in Aquarius on the 21st ushers in a wake-up call for humanitarian causes. This revolutionary New Moon, however, is accompanied by the limitations set by Mercury and cautious Saturn, a tug-of-war that may show up in your life as a need for change that conflicts with the way someone else thinks things should be done. Fortunately, Venus dances in harmony with Saturn on the 21st, which should make personal and business negotiations-and compromises-easier.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your personal power scores a win on the 20th and 21st, a good time to press your advantage. The New Moon could bring in a new contact, who will assist your plans. It’s also a great time to acknowledge your friends.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Don’t let fear stop you from moving forward-just give yourself time to research facts before making any major decisions. The New Moon points you toward the future, when you may be focusing on learning something new.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The New Moon says to clear out what’s not needed in your life to make way for new endeavors (and people). Communications are heightened with your significant other, but may need patience-and clarity-around the 21st.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A close relationship gets energized with commitment during the New Moon. Or if you’re unattached, it’s a good time to attract a significant significant other. In addition, intimacy heats up, especially at the end of the month.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
