CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 20)
By now you’ve tasted the power Pluto of-
fers. You’re probably already aware of the
massive upheaval and change that’s on its
way…mild tremors start with your work-
ing life and scheduling on the 17th and
20th June. The 3rd and 10th July put the
spotlight on relationships and might make
you feel pressured. You probably thought
everything was organised until a new per-
spective appeared that’s making you re-
learn and reconfigure- especially on the
13th and 15th August. The eclipse cycles
on 1st and 16th august show there’s a new
path opening for generating money and re-
sources which will ‘fix’ everything around
the 10th august. By the months end you’ve
worked out what’s best. Try a live personal
consultation with me on Skype +1 (928)
257-3414.
AQUARIUS (JAN 21 - FEB 19)
There’s a money issue to do with creative
endeavours (or your children) between the
10th and 12th June. Be ready to make a
surprising investment or fork out unex-
pectedly. Your communications get erratic
on the 5th July, just as you express your-
self and your self worth. Money is a con-
tinuous theme in July and you have to
learn about other peoples values the hard
way on the 10th. The eclipses on the 1st
and 16th August bring relationships to
the forefront. It’s time to fix your rela-
tionship issues. Use August to find a bal-
ance between your independence and your
partnership needs: reach out for your des-
tiny instead of repeating old patterns. Let
me explain in a personal live consultation
on Skype +1 (928) 257-3414.
PISCES (FEB 20 - MAR 20)
You’ve been considering relationship pa-
rameters and now its time to get serious.
The question is will you get commit-
ted…or not? There’s pressure on 10th
July: you’re driving with the brakes on
and find it difficult to take action. Avoid
arguments with significant others and ra-
tionally explain what your future plans
are. They’ll understand you by the 26th
July. The eclipses on 1st and 16th August
enclose a time of higher calling to tran-
scend boundaries and go beyond limita-
tions by fulfilling your dreams.
Meanwhile the 28th July, 4th and 11th
August give you examples of your old re-
peating patterns. What’s it like to go in a
new direction that really stimulates you?
I’ll explain more in a live personal con-
sultation on Skype +1 (928) 257-3414
