ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
This month Uranus is running in Aries and square Jupiter and Pluto. What is nice is by the end of the month this is finishing. So what does that mean?

By month’s end you have energy without this Pluto effect.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month be reflective and patient. Patience is a wonderful virtue. It comes from understanding that aggression is not the best way to resolve issues. Go slowly and your goals will be attained.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
