Astrology Forecast for Mar. 23-Apr. 5
By Cortney Litwin / Staff Writer
A dreamy Venus-Neptune merger meets passionate Mars on the 24th-28th, emphasizing spiritual aspirations in relationships, but turns up the heat as well-a sure-fire recipe for steamy, soulful intimacy. Communications should also improve when Mercury turns direct on the 25th. Next, the new moon in Aries on the 29th promotes a sense of adventure and risk-taking in new endeavors. On the same day, Pluto turns retrograde until Sept. 4, which encourages reevaluating finances and eliminating emotional baggage. Love gets another dose of idealism when Venus transits into Pisces on April 5. And finally, Saturn turns direct on the same day, clearing the way for new business ventures.

The end of March has you yearning for a soulmate, or at least an enhanced spiritual connection with your sweetie, so share your ideals to increase intimacy. The new moon begins a new cycle in your career.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The Venus-Neptune merger sensitizes and enlightens your primary relationship (share your dreams!), but may create some confusion if communications aren’t clear. The new moon highlights education and spiritual activities.

Donating money to a philanthropic endeavor can prove inspiring, if you’re cautious of financial schemes. And the new moon brings a new cycle of expansion and/or improvement in your home life.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The Venus-Neptune hook-up in your sign has your head in the clouds over love. You can be especially intuitive about romance, too, but don’t avoid occasional reality checks. The new moon emphasizes talk and travel.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your Neptune ruler dancing with Venus deepens your need for shared ideals in your relationship and can deepen your intuitive insights as well. On a practical note, the new moon can help open financial doors.
