Horoscope: June 25- July 1

In my new life of leisure, I'm beyond restless. Everyday is a challenge to remain optimistic. I feel lost and void with out a solid goal within a tangible grasp. Today like the day before, I will create a list and strive to conjugate a list of options and derivatives. "What is it I want," I will ask myself, and "How will this action lead to an end goal?" It is okay to be unsure, as long as you use the time to acquaint  yourself more familiarly with possibilities. 

Enough mumble jumble, Happy Monday! Here are your Georgia Nicols Horoscopes for:

 June 25- July 1. 

Cancer:

You might feel as though you're being tested this week. It is not a midterm exam or a test where there are answers that are right or wrong. It's more like your beliefs are being tested. As the year progresses, you will feel increasingly idealistic about many things. As a result, you'll be more inclined to put the interests, needs and wants of others before your own. This is a tricky business because you don't want to be a doormat; you just want to be helpful to others. This week something will test you or demonstrate in some way just how realistic your ideals are. Remember: True generosity is giving what is needed.

Leo:

You're entering a popular year ahead, which is something you'll enjoy. But sometimes it's tricky handling the demands that others make on your time, isn't it? In your desire to please others or keep them happy, you might feel you're selling out your own freedom, independence or personal integrity. This is not good. This week something will happen that challenges this very question. In other words, how can you skillfully handle your relationship to others, yet not let yourself down or sell out? Another test might arise regarding your hopes and dreams for the future. How realistic are they? You might find out.

Virgo:

As Jupiter travels across the top of your chart this year, it will promote your good name among your peers. Eighteen months in the future, your reputation will be shining with accolades and praise that you earn in the coming months. All of this will build up to "send" you in a particular life direction. This week ahead could be a test for you to determine if you're going in the direction that you really want to go. Perhaps you have some kind of false optimism about what you can achieve? A splash of cold water might help you to be more realistic about where to put your efforts. After all, no one wants to put their money on the wrong horse.

Libra:

You're a social sign and you love ideas. Something in your life now encourages you to study or learn more about a philosophy, ideology or life-belief system. You want to learn and expand your world, not just out of curiosity but because you believe it will enrich your life or enhance you in some way. You might do this through reading, listening to teachers or traveling - all broadening experiences. (Especially reading, which can really broaden your butt!) However, how will you know that what you are learning is valuable or even credible? Something this week might arise to show you if you're on the right path or not.

Scorpio:

An interesting week ahead! Very likely, your values will be tested. Naturally, you embrace your values because they're yours; they reflect your core beliefs. But when you look back at your life since you were a young teenager, a few basic values have changed because you learned or experienced more. This week your values might be tested about something, especially related to how your values differ from the values of others, or something to do with shared property, inheritances, insurance matters and debt. If you're lucky, you'll be disillusioned, which means your illusions will be ripped away, letting you see things clearly. (Weird, eh?)

Sagittarius:

This week, your ruler Jupiter is tested by dreamy Neptune. This is the classic "wake up and smell the coffee" moment. (I hate smelling the coffee.) It means you have to ask yourself if your optimism and faith, especially in partners, committed relationships and close friendships, is well-placed. Perhaps you are not seeing the relationship for what it really is? Are you being suckered in and deceiving yourself? (You know who you are.) It's so easy to believe in what we want to believe, isn't it? Something could happen this week that makes you open your eyes to the truth of a close relationship. Could be good; could be bad. Either way, you will know the truth, which is far more important.

Capricorn:

Your reputation is so important to you. (Scandal is horrifying.) This is one of the reasons you're careful doing your job because you want the respect of others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. In the coming year, you can improve your job or get a better job or get a better boss; but how will you do this? In the week ahead, something might occur that tests everything you think about your job or your ability to get a different job. For example, you might be listening to the wrong person or kidding yourself about your job in some way. Your challenge right now is to be as realistic as possible because you're dealing with your own future!

Aquarius:

Without question, you're looking at a fun-loving, playful, romantic year ahead. Many will take a fabulous vacation. All of you will be happier and enjoy pleasurable, relaxing moments. Relationships with children and romantic partners will be a source of pleasure and happiness. But all of this depends on your choices, doesn't it? It also depends on your ability to balance your need for fun and pleasure with the responsibilities you have to family, job and even yourself. This week could be a wake-up call regarding your values and decisions about how to allocate your time. (On the other hand, according to Mae West, "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.")

Pisces:

How wonderful that the next 18 months will bring you a happier home life and an enriched appreciation of where you live. In fact, this blessing is so strong it also applies to real-estate transactions. Nevertheless, to make this good fortune work for you and loved ones, you have to be realistic about what you want to achieve and what is actually possible. You have to clearly define to yourself what you want. If you go into a big supermarket and have no idea what you want, when you get home you'll no doubt discover you need more things. Something might happen this week that makes you realize what you do and don't need in your personal life.

Aries:

The power of positive thinking is a wonderful thing. Many books have been written about this and it cannot be disputed that everything you see around you and everything you touch began with a thought in someone's mind. So thoughts are important. In the coming year (and beginning this week) you will easily enjoy a more positive frame of mind. You'll be more optimistic and eager to share your ideas with others. But how valid are your ideas and values? That's always a tricky question, isn't it? This week something might occur to test your grasp of reality. (Hey, our gene pool always needs a lifeguard.)

Taurus:

You are a tactile sign and you certainly value what you can touch and hold, especially mortgage-free land. As an archetype, Taurus is the country Squire or the banker. You want tangible security in your lifetime. (Preferably surrounded by beautiful things, antiques and excellent food and drink.) However, some of your ideas - about money, assets and possessions and how to keep them, hold them, or what to do with them - are going to be tested this week. For example, it's true that money and possessions are wonderful to have, but for what purpose? How do they alter you, change you or edify you? When you think about it, you never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul.

Gemini:

I've been writing (and will continue to do so) about what a great year this is for Gemini. Through a celestial fluke, Venus is in your sign for 18 weeks, a rare occurrence that will not happen again for 105 years. And now, lucky Jupiter is in Gemini where it will stay for a year. Goody for you! But that's only part of your chart. It doesn't mean a gallon of paint can't tip over and ruin the trunk of your car. Even though you have this blessing of good fortune, there are other factors at play. This week something could happen that will put it all in perspective for you. Even though this is a favorable time for Gemini's, don't take risks. Don't think you're bulletproof

Horoscopes: June 18-24

Happy Birthday fellow Cancarians, and of course Happy Monday. Here is to ringing in a new year full of new challenges and rewards. I give a shit about life, even though sometimes it might not always work to my favor. However caring about  doing a good job (and not about the politics) equates to a passion and a commitment to project goals that is contagious. Caring is Charismatic! This week challenge yourself by separating your personal emotions from your greater goals. You'll find, like I did, that a new perspective can open doors. 

With that, Here are your Georgia Nicols Horoscopes for June 18- 24. 

Cancer:

This week the Sun enters your sign for the next four weeks, boosting your energy and attracting favourable circumstances to you as well as important people. This really is a super-charge! It's also a time where it's totally appropriate to put yourself first because, essentially, it's all about you. Plus, you'll have a strong need to express yourself. This is the beginning of your personal year (birthday to birthday), which is more real than the beginning of a calendar year. Because the Sun in your sign allows you to project yourself more forcefully, you'll make a strong impression on others. You want to run the show and don't want to be told what to do.

Leo:

This is a time of preparation because your birthday is a month away. January 1 is an arbitrary date devised by the Gregorian calendar. But your birthday is real. It's when the degree of your sign (at the time of your birth) lines up with the degree of the Sun in the sky. A true beginning! Why not set some goals about what you want to achieve in the next year? Life is a conveyor belt. You get on until you get off. The ride is your life, which is chopped into segments of being asleep and awake creating the illusion of days, months and years. But you're always on the ride. The question is - what do you want to do with the time left to you?

Virgo:

This solar shift ushers in a month of popularity for Virgos. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Accept invitations to socialize and extend a few from yourself as well. You might join a club or take a class. You'll find it rewarding to be with others because not only will you enjoy the contact and a chance to exchange ideas, you'll be excited to discuss your dreams for the future with them. And their feedback will help you! Not only is this a social month ahead, it's a time where you feel connected to your goals. You're very future-oriented. Others can help you now, which is why you should encourage them to be in your life.

Libra:

This is the only time of year when the Sun travels across the top of your chart acting like a spotlight on you, which is why others notice you more than usual. Since this lighting is flattering, you look unusually good to others, which is why you will likely be asked to take on increased responsibilities. (People think you're the cat's meow.) This is a good thing! Just say yes because you'll be able to do the job. In addition, you'll be thinking about your career, your reputation and your life direction in general. If you don't know where you're headed, how can you make important decisions? You would just be a chicken crossing the road - poultry in motion.

Scorpio:

Life is taking on an exciting quality because you've decided it's time to spread your wings! Many of you will have rewarding experiences by travelling somewhere new or learning new things or enjoying exciting adventures. You're hungry to enrich your world. Do make an effort to travel, sign up for courses, go back to school, or put yourself in a situation where you will discover new ideas from people from different backgrounds. You want to break stagnant boundaries and free yourself from routine. You might also explore religious, spiritual and consciousness-raising ideas. Even casual encounters could be profound. Totally cool!

Sagittarius:

"The King was in his counting house, counting out his money. The Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey." This line from Sing a Song of Sixpence aptly describes your month ahead because your focus now turns to debt, taxes, inheritances, insurance matters and red-tape details. But that's not all. Sweet sex will start to play a larger role in your life. (Woo-woo!) However, in the bigger picture, you are on a self-improvement kick. You're trying to clean up your act so you can be a better person. You might even meet a teacher or someone who provokes self-inquiry or challenges your values. (We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.)

Capricorn:

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be directly opposite your sign, which means it's as far away from you as it will get all year. Since the Sun is your source of energy, this means you're going to need more sleep. Factoid. Recognize your need for this and try to get more rest. Another thing this opposing Sun will do is draw your attention to your closest friendships and partnerships. Not only will you give them more thought, you'll have a chance to observe yourself in action, which is why the next month is an opportunity for you to see how to improve these close relationships, whether you're in bed or not. (Yawn.)

Aquarius:

Oh my! Busy you! You've decided it's time to get a little closer to perfection. This is why your month ahead will be full of To Do lists as you try your best to be as efficient, effective and productive as possible. You want to get things done! You want to feel more in control and on top of your scene. In addition, you want to feel healthier. You want to eat better, sleep better and get exercise and, of course, all this will be done in a home that is tidier. You might not alphabetize your CDs but you're headed in that direction. You'll feel so pleased with yourself when you live up to these new standards of self-control and self-discipline. (Let's call this your smug month.)

Pisces:

Tra-la, tra-la! It is to laugh. As the Sun shifts signs this week, it welcomes one of the most fun months of the year for you. That's why the next four-to-six weeks are all about love, romance, social tete-a-tetes, parties, sports events, fun vacation escapes, and playful times with children. It's your turn to kick up your heels, let your hair down and paint the town red! Naturally, you're going to need a supporting cast for all this and no doubt they will materialize. Lovers, running mates, friends and creative, artistic contacts will appear to give you so many thrilling experiences, it will be regrettable that you can't write them down in your diary. Who has time? Enjoy!

Aries:

In the month ahead, you'll want to nest at home. One reason for this is you'll feel a need to have time alone. Childhood memories will bubble to the surface of your mind. You'll appreciate being around familiar things. Discussions with family members (especially parents) could be significant. In turn, these memories and family discussions might make you want to bounce your thoughts off of third party - a friend, advisor or professional counsellor because families can be wonderful and supportive but also quite maddening. George Burns was right: "Happiness as a loving, warm, caring family living in another city."

Taurus:

The solar shift will speed things up for you! Expect a busy month ahead with an accelerated daily pace because your schedule will be busier than usual. Many of you will take short trips while others will be running around doing errands more than usual. You feel a bit restless and the need to move around, which is why this could be a good time for a vacation as well. You're also eager to reach out to others because you want to communicate. You want to enlighten others and share your opinions. Basically, you can expect to be eager, enthusiastic, mentally alert and on the go, learning new things and sharing your ideas with others. (And remember the password is "Sherbet lemon.")

Gemini:

You're giving more and more thought to your values. (You think a lot.) You've just had your birthday. You're beginning a new year, but more than that, with fair Venus and lucky Jupiter in your sign, you sense this is a time of opportunity and fresh beginnings. There's a difference between having with a sense of intent and having a To Do list. The latter is just a list of activities, but the former is potentially life-changing. This is why you're thinking about how you earn money, how you would like to earn money, and what you want to do with your money. Cash flow and possessions are outer expressions of these values. (As something to think about if you're into nude rap sessions.)

Horoscopes: June 11-17

Happy Monday, my head is a little sore from constant fretting. I am at a bit of loss emotionally- I'm unsure of where I stand at the moment and frustrated by the constant push in all directions from interested third parties. I want to live my life, happily, and on my own terms. I am responsible for my happiness; my happiness only. I understand that life itself is quite controversial. Life's controversies are irrelevant. How can life be lived or enjoyed when constantly in fear of  overstepping the invisible and politically correct boundaries of modern society?  Without risk there is no reward. At the end of the day I would rather be able to smile about my accomplishments and failures knowing I gave my all; opposed to laying awake with regret for not challenging the status quo. 

Change is the air...Below are your Georgia Nicols Horoscopes for June 11-17 2012. 

Gemini:

Well, it doesn't get much better than this because lucky Jupiter moves into Gemini this week! (Yay me!) The last time Jupiter was in your sign was in 2001. It will have such broadening, expansive and beneficial influence on you that a year from now, others will notice you have more self-confidence and poise. (Would I kid either one of you?) Essentially, this is the beginning of a new 12- year cycle of growth. It's time for you to discover who you really are and what you can really accomplish. Your year ahead will be a fortunate year for you and you will attract fortunate circumstances and influential people. (Put something in the tip jar on your way out.)

Cancer:

As Jupiter shifts signs this week it moves into a hidden part of your chart, which means many of the benefits you receive from Jupiter's journey will be quiet, hidden and related to your inner development. (Hey, don't knock it. Some signs are going to get fat!) Deeper issues about spiritualism and religion will appeal to you. In a way, you'll be on a journey of discovering your inner truth. Many of you will meet a spiritual teacher or someone who acts as a guide for you. In some cases, you might become the teacher for others. (If you find yourself wearing sandals in the winter, this is probably the case.) It will be an enriching year for you before Jupiter then enters your own sign. Like, wow!

Leo:

As Jupiter changes signs this week, you can expect to become increasingly popular in the next 18 months. Invitations pour in from others making demands on your time! But ah-ha! This will be a two-way street; you will initiate interaction with others as well because you're entering one of the most popular years you've had since around 2001-02. Friends will benefit you. No question. This is not the year to go it alone. Get out and schmooze because socializing plus acting for social reform will make you appreciate the importance of group goals. Enjoy fun times with pals. Turn up your eviction speakers!

Virgo:

For the first time since 2001, lucky Jupiter will travel across the top of your chart. This means your focus will be on career, your reputation in your community and your profession. You'll be very ambitious in the coming year and try hard to get ahead. You can expect a promotion, accolades, kudos and public recognition for your work. (It's sort of like your name will suddenly be up in lights.) Those who don't experience this increased success, flash and dazzle, might instead change their job or focus to something related to medicine, healing, the law, higher education or travel. This is traditionally one of the most successful astrological influences you can have!

Libra:

Start packing your bags because you're going places! In the next 18 months, Librans will be travelling and exploring more of the world. Those who don't expand their world through travel will instead expand their experience of life through further studies, reading or interaction with people from different backgrounds. Your desire to learn is very strong now. In fact, many of you will explore consciousness-raising groups and human potential movements. Your year ahead is also excellent for writers because publishing and higher education are favoured. It's an exciting time promising adventure, new knowledge and hours stuck in airports.

Scorpio:

The gravy train is coming! All Scorpios will be on the receiving end of the wealth and resources of others in the next year. This means you might receive inheritances, money back from the government, or insurance payouts as well as cash, gifts and favours from others. Some of you will benefit indirectly because your partner or someone in your family will have a boost in their wealth. Money and sex often go together and in this case it's true! Your sex drive will be amped in the coming year so get ready for this as well. Keep in mind the next 18 months are the perfect time to ask for a loan or mortgage or support from others.

Sagittarius:

Once every 12 years, lucky Jupiter is sitting opposite your sign, which means this is a time of culmination in your life. You're very proud of your achievements and you feel surprisingly satisfied with how things are going. (Nothing satisfies like satisfaction, does it?) In particular, you'll discover that all your one-on-one encounters will be exciting learning experiences. Partnerships will become enriched and practically everyone you encounter will seem to be helpful in some way. In the year ahead, it's beneficial to contact experts of all kinds. Even people from other backgrounds in different countries will be helpful. Those who marry in the coming year will marry someone richer, older or more established.

Capricorn:

It's finally your turn to really tweak your job! Jupiter will help you get a better job, or better duties, or get rid of your terrible boss (legally), or solve problems that are bugging you at work. You might even simply change your attitude to your job because the result of this Jupiter influence is that you feel more job satisfaction. You have a greater sense of accomplishment and fulfillment from what you do. The year ahead will also be an excellent year for your health because Jupiter will help you build your physical strength and vitality. The only thing you have to watch for is extras on dessert. (Jupiter does go overboard!) Remember: A minute on the lips is a decade on the hips.

Aquarius:

Lucky Aquarians are having one of the most wonderful Jupiter transits possible. The area that will be expanded and magnified is totally related to your creative self-expression, your love life, romance, parties, vacations, the arts, the entertainment world and anything to do with sports. In other words, it's fun city for you! (Yay me!) Definitely plan on a vacation in the coming year. And plan on having more fun with others, especially children. In fact, your relationships with children will improve immensely! Look for ways to express your creative talents because you're full of original ideas and enthusiasm. Finally, you feel free to be exactly who you are!

Pisces:

You are looking at a wonderful window of opportunity for real estate in the next 18 months, the best since 2001. Even if you don't buy or sell real estate, whatever you do in the next year to improve where you live will immensely please you. You'll feel richer and more fortunate. This blessing obviously extends to your family and the people you live with. Expect your family life to improve beautifully in the coming year (and you'll notice that family members are more easily generous to each other). In a nutshell - you'll be happier at home! Privately, you will also increase your sense of inner worth and feel more contented and secure. (Hey, security is nice.)

Aries:

In the coming year, you'll find it easier and easier to be happy. The reasons for your happiness will be based on the details of your own life, but I see you'll have a happier frame of mind and be full of positive thoughts. Since your mind is what is constantly creating your world, what a boon! After all, first comes the thought, and from the thought springs the word. Then from the word springs the deed, and the deed soon becomes habit. Habit, of course, eventually hardens into character, which is why it is so important to have happy thoughts! Short trips, much travel, increased discussions with others, opportunities to learn and happier times with siblings are also on the menu.

Taurus:

You are the banker of the zodiac. You can practically mint money in your backyard. This is why you will be super delighted to know this week's shift of Jupiter ushers in 12 to 18 months of increased opportunities to boost your income. Ka-ching! No doubt about it. You might get a better job, or make more money in your current job, or make money on the side, or dream up wonderful money-making ideas. It will be something. You'll also feel richer because you'll buy yourself lovely goodies that make you feel spoiled and fortunate. ("Spoil me! Spoil me!") Obviously, many of you will score superb antiques and wonderful collectibles for a mere song.

Horoscope: June 4- 10

Happy Monday! My weekend was spent in a classroom at at the University of Calgary, taking a GMAT prep course. The GMAT is a masterful profit driven entity, owned by Pearson Publishers. I am not looking forward to taking the GMAT as 4 hours of computer dictated testing does not sound overly enticing. Unfortunately the test is a necessary evil for the pursuit of higher education. Like my horoscope suggests i am in a state of planning, and visioning what I want for my new year. The universe always has a funny way of presenting new opportunities, and tying up loose ends. This week, I want to challenge myself by letting go of self expectations, and to remember that it is okay to be in state of uncertainty. Like Greg Brown said in his commencement address, "plans change and evolve."

With that, here are your Georgia Nicols horoscopes for the week of June 4-10. 

Gemini:

Your future's so bright you're gonna need shades. Fair Venus has been in your sign since April - so unusual! (It's normally there for three weeks once a year.) And it will stay until August, making you charming and boosting your social scene. (I repeat: Shop for wardrobe goodies.) And now the Sun is in your sign, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. In about a week, lucky Jupiter returns to your sign for the first time since 2001 to stay until the summer of 2013, magnifying your good fortune and attracting favourable circumstances and important people to you. All these opportunities guarantee that you'll be working hard at something you like in about a year 'cause you're on a roll!

Cancer:

This is a time of preparation because your birthday is about three weeks away. Since this marks the beginning of your "personal" year, why not prepare for it? If you clearly define some goals, the odds that they will become a reality hugely increase. If you know your goals it is easier to do or go after what you want and, secondly, when you know where you're headed, it's easier to make choices. Take a moment to think about how you're doing at the art of living. What do you want in your new "personal" year? It's curious how we make plans for sport events, parties, business and family occasions, and yet we rarely plan our future. (Even though the future is where you're going to spend the rest of your life!) Sheesh.

Leo:

In astrology, there's something called a "sextile." (And yes, it can be sexy.) Essentially, it describes when planets are 60 degrees apart and it's considered to be highly beneficial. (It has a sort of Venusian influence.) This fantastic Gemini hit that is embracing the world is sextile to your sign. (Surely you didn't think you would miss out on all this good stuff?) So you're in for a fabulous year ahead. In particular, it will boost your popularity, attract all kinds of people into your life, and help you make your hopes and dreams a reality. Yeah, yeah, it's a bit like the tooth fairy, which, of course, you know is your Mom. (But how does she get into the other kid's houses?)

Virgo:

This is the only time all year when the Sun moves across the top of your chart acting like a spotlight on you. This is why others now notice you more than usual, especially authority figures. And because this lighting is flattering to you, these authority figures will ask you to take on increased responsibilities. (You look so competent to them.) Don't worry. Just say yes. You don't have to be a rocket-scientist to fill the bill. This special "lighting" will dazzle them and you'll come out smelling like a rose. And hey, with Mars still in your sign (foreeeeever) you have the energy, drive, guts and determination to do anything. I say, grab the baton and run with it!

Libra:

You want to explore the world because you need to blow this pop stand. You need to grab every chance to travel or learn something new from people from other backgrounds and countries. You're hungry for something stimulating and exciting. Incidentally, you should know now is the perfect time to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education. (These areas are blessed for you.) But do travel! Meanwhile, romance with someone more educated or more experienced might rev your engines. What you are hungry for is something to expand your world and juice your life.

Scorpio:

This is a fortunate time for you in terms of benefiting from the wealth of others. It's an excellent time to ask for a loan or get a mortgage or a line of credit or establish a better situation regarding debt because, whatever the result, it will probably benefit you. Many of you will receive an inheritance or money back from the government. You might also benefit indirectly through your partner or a third party. Essentially, you can get money, gifts, assets and favours through others this month and in the coming year. Therefore, take a look at these things and get your ducks in a row. If there's something you want, this could be how you will get it. Meanwhile, romance swoons dizzily along!

Sagittarius:

Many planets now make you focus on partnerships and close friendships. (This focus is stronger than perhaps ever before in your life.) It's a beneficial influence and can prompt you to become seriously involved in a committed relationship, especially with someone older, richer or more experienced. It could also mean existing friendships and partnerships will become enriched and more meaningful. Naturally, this is an excellent month (and, for that matter, the year ahead) to enter into professional partnerships. It's a good time to consult experts and people who can help you simply because others CAN help you. (Nevertheless, marriage will continue to be the main cause for divorce.)

Capricorn:

Keep in mind you have a big chance this month (and for the coming year) to improve your job. You can get a better job, or better duties, or get rid of your evil boss (legally). Possibly, it means you'll put a new spin on your job or develop a different attitude to it. The upshot is something will change so that you feel greater fulfillment and happiness and a sense of accomplishment from your work. In the same way, you can beautifully improve your health in the coming year. Traditionally, you are a long-lived sign who looks young when you are old. Think of what you can do now to improve your health. Meanwhile, a work-related romance might begin for some, which is always a boost to mental health!

Aquarius:

This continues to be a playful, romantic time for your sign. Lucky Aquarians will take a vacation this month. Many of you will explore opportunities to express your creativity because you're alive with the desire to do your own thing. Playful activities with children will also delight. (In fact, your ability to deal with children is excellent now.) Naturally, romance is beautifully blessed because it's another fun diversion, which is where it's at for you right now. You feel confident about who you are, with no need to pretend to be anybody you aren't. Because you have a playful, fun-loving year to look forward to, start to alphabetize your blessings. The gods are smiling on you!

Pisces:

You're pleased that things at home are smoothing out and becoming more enjoyable, more pleasant and happier for everyone in the family. Many of you are redecorating and enjoying your home more, or you're enjoying your home more because family relationships are more loving and mutually generous. All this is happening because a fortunate blessing exists very strongly this month and, in fact, will linger for the next year in the part of your chart that's related to home, family and real estate. All these areas will beautifully improve! In fact, you are looking at the best year ahead for real-estate opportunities that you've had since 2001. Sweeeet!

Aries:

Grab every opportunity to take a short trip, be chummy with neighbours, siblings and relatives, tackle your To-Do list of errands and grapple with reading and writing, which so engrosses you. Yes! You're busy! (But it's fun busy and you like it.) Schmoozing is delightful because Venus makes you diplomatic and charming right now. And yet, on top of this, you're working hard at your job as well as getting better organized in your personal life. Bravo! You're even on a health kick. It appears you have lots of reasons to give yourself a pat on the back. No wonder a lovely career peak promises much in 2018.

Taurus:

Your money-making ideas are sound now, so don't hesitate to explore them. Even your purchases look delightful, especially those related to art and beautiful things. However, at a deeper level, you're searching for something more than just money and treasures. What you really want to discover is what matters, because you don't want to put your money on the wrong horse and regret it when it's too late. It's important to define your values because if you have the ability to attract what you want (which you do right now), wouldn't it be smart to know what it is you want? If you give thought to the car you drive or the clothes you wear, why not give thought to what matters most to you in life?

Horoscope May 28- June 3

Happy Monday! For some much needed and appreciated R&R I've escaped to Rancho Leonero Resort just outside of Cabo San Lucas Mexico. Rancho Leonero is beautiful, quiet, and charming. Rancho Leonero is a boutique resort that specializes in deep sea fishing. Rancho Leonero has over 3 miles of ocean front and sandy beach; including access to one of the two remaining living great barrier reefs in the northern hemisphere. The resort is stunning; and provides so much to do beyond fishing.

My experience fishing, was ummm....somewhat painful. The motion of the boat disturbed my equilibrium and I felt sea sick for the majority of the experience. While I might not have enjoyed the "art of fishing," I did enjoy spotting a marlin jump, and a seas turtle sun bathe. There is beauty is all things, rewards are granted to those who put themselves in uncomfortable situations and constantly seek to challenge themselves. With that I wish you a fabulous week, and here are your Georgia Nicols horoscopes for May 28-June 3!

Gemini:

All this energy and activity in one part of your life for eight months (you have about six weeks left) has been stirring things up at home for you. The downside is it makes you aggressive with family members creating domestic conflict, especially with parents. (You have probably surmised that we never grow up - we only learn how to act in public.) The upside of all this energy, however, is that you're much more willing to work at home - renovations, moving furniture or building things. Naturally, this positive activity gives you a feeling of accomplishment. "Look at what I did!" This beautifully sets the tone for the fabulous year you're about to enter. (I still wanna be a Gemini.)

Cancer:

So far this year, this sustained energy for your sign has helped you sell, market, teach, act and negotiate anything on your own behalf. In all your communications, you've been coming on like gangbusters! KOO-KOO-KA-FREAKIN'-CHOO! (Deadpool) Sure, it's made you argumentative and a pain in the butt to many. (You can't deny this.) But because you identify so strongly with your beliefs and opinions now, you are a force to contend with! You're verbally articulate and intellectually incisive. You can read, study, write and talk with great energy! (You might want to lighten up on the attack mode and all will be well.)

Leo:

Mars is energy and, of course, a sustained, long-lasting burst of energy in one area has both pluses and minuses. The downside of this Martian energy for Leo is you've been spending money like it's going out of style! (And considering that you're the last of the big-time spenders, that's saying a lot.) Actually, this hasn't bothered you one whit, has it? In fact, it's been great fun, hasn't it? Shopping therapy! (You feel shopping is an expression of exercising your rights.) But you are also wisely using whatever you own to make it work for you and make your life run more smoothly. Meanwhile, be careful about espousing your beliefs to the point others run from you. Blah, blah, blah. Lighten up.

Virgo:

Well, well, this unusual long-running hit of Mars is happening in your sign! You have definitely felt revved up since the end of last year. You're bursting with energy and keen to show the world what you can do. Since you are much more of a fighter for your own rights than usual, some close relationships have been bruised or terminated. Mars is the warrior, which means if attacked, you will fight! Furthermore, your physical energy is very high. Basically, this can be a positive time in your life because you're willing to face problems, solve them and accomplish as much as possible. You're on a mission. ("Take me to your leader.")

Libra:

This lengthy journey of Mars has been a learning experience for you. (Yeah, yeah, Taurus has all the fun and Aquarius won't get out of bed.) Mars represents your ego and it has been "hiding" in your chart for months, stirring up little demons from your past. All your childhood, egocentric, self-defeating numbers have been breaking out, exposing your foibles. (Rather embarrassing, isn't it?) The downside is obvious. But the upside is unbelievably valuable because now you can identify these suckers and banish them - ha-ha - to Mars! (Or anyplace without a return ticket.) Basically, this is a wonderful opportunity to confront childish behaviour patterns. When the dust settles on this one, you'll be looking at the new, improved, drip-dry, wrinkle-free you.

Scorpio:

This is been an unusual year so far because you have so much energy for relating to others, particularly in group situations. But let's look at this more closely: It means you can achieve your goals more easily by working with others. Team action is your motto, now and for the next two months. Your challenge is not to fight with others or be too competitive because this will only arouse resentment. Physical activity with others, especially athletics and group sports, will turn your crank. But you will want to win. Oh yes! "Surrender? SURRENDER? You think this letter on my head stands for France?" (Captain America.)

Sagittarius:

This long run of Mars for eight months in one sign has super-amped your ambition. You are PowerPoint on steroids. That's why you've been working so hard to be your own boss, gain independence and pull off some big schemes. (Sagittarians always have big schemes.) Your personal desire for independence has created conflict with authority figures, no question. Try to avoid these unless it's really worth it. If there's not a lot at stake, shrug it off. If you try to defeat every challenge the price will be too high. One has to pick one's fights, right? After all, in one way that's the tragedy of life - you're here today and here tomorrow. ("This again?")

Capricorn:

Travel opportunities have kept you on the go for months and these opportunities still continue. But travel is just the external expression of your desire to expand your universe. You want more out of life. You want to see more, experience more and meet fascinating, unusual people. You want to learn, which is why further schooling totally appeals to you now. This is also a marvellous year to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Continue to look for any experiences that open up new dimensions of reality. (And quit wasting time defending your ideas about religion, politics or whatever.) Just feed your soul.

Aquarius:

Your gonads have been in overdrive for months. And this ain't gonna go away. Lucky Aquarians have been having hot and heavy sex and will continue to have the promise of more. (Ah yes, sex is a gripping experience and the most fun you can have without laughing.) And in truth, because Mars is also a strong ego identification, many will want sex to be a transforming, transcendent experience, which is a helluva lot to expect from another frail mortal who flosses and wears underarm deodorant just like you. Others will have conflict about shared possessions, taxes, debt and differing values. Try not to make a big deal about this because you are identifying with your values, which let's face it - if you're intelligent - are constantly changing according to your own personal evolution.

Pisces:

This unbelievably lengthy duration of Mars opposite your sign has had its challenges (and continues to do so). The downside is that you are quick to fight with friends and partners. (Of course, it's all their fault, as it invariably is.) But what a drag! The upside, however, is that this opposition of Mars gives you mettle, a kind of inner strength. You won't be anyone's doormat. You'll stand up for yourself. And you also have the guts now to speak up about repressed grievances and things that have been secretly gnawing at you for ages. The saving grace of all this is to learn how to work with others to get what you want. But remember: People who live in stone houses shouldn't throw glasses.

Aries:

The wonderful thing about this sustaining energy of Mars for eight months in one part of your chart is that it makes you want to work! There are no lazy Aries on the planet right now. That's a fact. All Aries people are taking lots of pride in their work; plus they have lots of energy to work. (Naturally, you want credit for what you're doing because Mars is competitive.) Mars is also making you physically vigorous, although it can promote infections, fevers and accidents. You have about six more weeks more of this super vitamin B shot to your system. Keep working to accomplish whatever you want. Go, go, go.

Taurus:

You're lucky to experience this eight-month blast of Mars because it makes you playful, flirtatious and fun-loving! Your creative skills are off the map, which is why you're filled with energy for athletics and the arts. You can be unusually productive in your creative expression because impulses, which are normally fleeting, genius-like ideas, now translate into a sustained reality: The abstract into the concrete. In other words, you think about something, then you decide to do it, and you keep doing it and soon it is done! This applies to vacations, social occasions, playful times with kids and your romantic aspirations.

Horoscope:May 21- May 27

In Canadia Land, May Long Weekend fall a little before Memorial Day. The Canadian version, is much the same as the American lots of booze, music, and time with friends and family. May long weekend is always a righteous party for the town of Banff. As Victoria Day, marks the end of the ski season for the Canadian Rockies. Every May Long, Sunshine Village celebrates the end of the season with "The Slush Cup." Where slightly insane skiers and snowboards through themselves of a jump and into a pool of freezing water; warmed with snow.

The ski conditions at Sunshine Village are surprisingly good. While I won't be partaking in Slush Cup I look forward to some park laps, BC*DC, and the show of drunken stupor. With that, I'd like to remind everyone that there will be police check stops today, so please party responsibly.

And check out your Georgia Nicols Horoscope for May 21-27.

Gemini:

"...the envelope please. And the winner is Gemini!" All this good stuff snuck up on you, didn't it? Well, I say grab the baton and run with it. Life is full of up-and-down cycles as well as cycles within cycles. It's important to recognize when you're on a roll and things are going well. In fact, things are going to be even better and better! Don't take this for granted. Not only do you have a great summer ahead, you have a fortunate year ahead of you. Make the most of this. That saying, "Make hay while the Sun shines," is true! Fortunately, you don't sit around getting dusty. But why not go one step further? Hatch a plan. Set some goals. Write down what your perfect world would be about a year from now. Be specific.

Cancer:

Because Gemini is the sign next to yours in the zodiac, many of you have some planets in Gemini in your chart. This means all this Gemini pixie dust will sprinkle on you as well. We know you've been working hard to secure your home base and feel good about where you live. (You're a nester.) But for the next four-to-six weeks, it behooves you to think about what you want your "new" year (birthday to birthday) to be. For starters, why not look back over your shoulder and size up your last year. How are you doing at the art of living? If you clearly define the goals you want to achieve in the coming year, they will more likely become a reality. After all, are you steering your life or just responding to whatever happens?

Leo:

You're looking at a popular six weeks ahead. (Do get out of bed.) Invitations will pour in as friends, clubs and organizations make demands on your time. Expect to hang out with younger friends and creative, artistic types. (These are your people.) And while the next six weeks are the perfect time to schmooze and enjoy the company of others, they are also a good time to think about your hopes and dreams for the future. You're a leader. It's not your style to muddle along relying on management by crisis. Your reputation is getting a lovely boost now so what can you do to best use this advantage? (He who hesitates is miles away from the next exit.)

Virgo:

Of course, you're still a force to contend with because fiery Mars has been in your sign since November (staying until July). Small wonder this Gemini hit occurs at the top of your chart. It boldly calls attention to you, especially the attention of bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. You are definitely high viz during the next six weeks, and take note: This spotlight is flattering! Others see you as capable, which is why you'll be asked to take on increased responsibilities. Say yes because you don't have to be an action hero to please them. (It's the great lighting, get it?) Romance with someone older, richer or in a position of authority might percolate. (When you don't know what you're doing - do it neatly.)

Libra:

In the next six weeks, you want to blow town. You want a change of scenery. You want to see new places, new faces and hear new ideas. In fact, you want to be stimulated by fascinating conversation with intelligent people who transport you to new levels of awareness. You want mind-blowing experiences to make your life exciting. Obviously, if you can travel, do so. If you can't travel, then explore your own sandbox. Go someplace you've never been. Talk to people from different backgrounds. Do things that are out of the ordinary (nothing as extreme as jogging, but you could get a window table in an ethnic restaurant and watch runners go by. Of course, cyclists are more fun because they dress better. And the guys shave their legs.)

Scorpio:

Keep your pockets open because all kinds of gifts, goodies, money, as well as favours and perks will come your way in the next six weeks. Ka-ching! (Would I kid you?) People will give you things directly and many of you will benefit indirectly because your partner or someone close to you gets a windfall. The next six weeks are the perfect time to ask for a loan or a mortgage. They're also the perfect time to decide how to share jointly-held property or an inheritance or settle insurance disputes. Sex will be very hot as well. Hey - you're laughing!

Sagittarius:

You are on the other end of the teeter-totter with Gemini because Gemini and Sagittarius are 180 degrees apart. In other words, you are two ends of the same plank. Therefore, all this wonderful stuff swirling around Gemini mirrors you! In fact, life will be so dazzling you'll need to wear shades. Relations with everyone will be smoother, more gracious and diplomatic. A casual relationship could become more committed. It's a great time to begin new partnerships (personal or professional). This is not the time to go it alone. Form working units with others and let people help you! Good time to consult experts as well. ("Is there a taxidermist in the house?")

Capricorn:

Your urge to organize (which is always there) is going to be strong in the next six weeks. You'll want to alphabetize your CDs and colour-code your closet. ("A home for everything and everything in its place.") Not only will you enjoy getting better organized at work and at home, you'll become more active at work in a hands-on way. Partly, this is because your relations with co-workers are so good right now. (Good enough for a romance to spark!) This drive for self-improvement will expand to your health as well. The high standards you set for yourself could earn you a raise or praise from others. Kudos!

Aquarius:

The next six weeks are going to be one of the most fun-filled times of the year for you. Grab every opportunity to enjoy a vacation (even a tiny one). Attend musical performances, summer fairs, sports events, the arts, craft fairs and anything to do with theme parks and the hospitality industry. Playful times with children will be rewarding. Romantic relationships will get a wonderful boost. Singles could start a new romance. Existing relationships will heat up in a sweet way. Look for ways to express your creativity because this will be satisfying.

Pisces:

You're entering a domestic phase for the next six weeks. This is why you will enjoy gardening, redecorating, puttering around your digs and tweaking things. You will definitely enjoy entertaining at home, which is also why you're keen to tackle home repairs. This impulse to improve your living space extends even into your family, which is why family relationships will become a stronger focus and also more rewarding and affectionate. For those of you who are exploring real-estate deals, this will be a busy time. Profitable opportunities are possible so keep your eyes open.

Aries:

Your tempo is quickening. In the next month, you'll be running around like you've got an outboard motor on your ass. The pace of your days will accelerate because you're cramming more into each day. Short trips, busy errands, conversations with everyone plus increased reading, writing and studying are just some reasons your pace will be approaching Warp 9. But you'll welcome the challenge! (You love being out there, flying your colours, talking to everyone.) Look for ways to make money from talking and writing because you can do this in the next four-to-six weeks. Hey, you're more than just a pretty face.

Taurus:

This heavy-duty Gemini trip makes you focus on money, money, money! You've got money-making ideas and opportunities to earn money. Naturally, since you're earning some coin, you're thinking about major purchases. (You do love your treasures.) But at a subtler level, when you think about your assets and what you own, you'll also think about your life values. What are your values? What guides you? You know you want to be happy, and you know you want financial security. (Mortgage-free land!) So what can you do that's fun and rewarding and makes lots of money? (Will this make you happy?)

Horoscopes: May 7- 13

Happy Monday Ya'll! So I did it. I ran Bloomsday In 1 hour 5 minutes. I happy with time; and my self. I stayed true to my goal of running the entire race only stopping for a quick potty break. I love seeing all the  veteran blooms. Especially those who have Run 'em ALL. 

To all the Bloomsday finishers: You are Winners!

Bloomsday, is an economic stimulus for Spokane that benefits local businesses and charities. This year the economic impact of Bloomsday was over 9.5 million dollars. I am an advocate for supporting local communities, (where ever I find myself.) With good karma in mind: here are your  Georgia Nicols horoscopes for May 7-13. 

Taurus:

This summer you will continue to feel playful and frisky! You'll be interested in sports, the arts and fun times with children. Nevertheless, Venus is going to bring you all kinds of financial opportunities to earn more money or improve your job and make purchases of gorgeous jewelry, clothing and art. (You love to collect treasures.) This summer will also be an excellent time to make financial investments; in fact, all business negotiations will be highly favourable. This makes sense because you're setting up a situation where the next 18 months will boost your earnings. No question. Ka-ching!

Gemini:

Your future is so bright you're gonna need to wear shades! First, we have this unusual situation of Venus being in your sign for more than four months, something that will never again happen in your lifetime. And coinciding with it, in June, lucky moneybags Jupiter enters your sign for the first time since 2001, and it will stay there for a year! (Not too shabby.) Venus, of course, will stimulate your desire to relate to others. That's why you'll be keen to talk to others and co-operate with them this summer. You'll feel super warm and friendly. That's why you'll enjoy a good relationship with family members and siblings. Yay me!

Cancer:

When you think about it, it's easy to confuse pleasure and happiness. But there's a distinction: Pleasure is sensory and temporary (perhaps the joy of eating something delicious or getting a massage or enjoying a fun time), whereas happiness is sustaining, long-lasting and much deeper. This unusual journey of Venus in Gemini is going to promote a deep happiness within you this summer because you will do things that are noble, generous and selfless. (Yeah, yeah, doesn't sound like fun but, in truth, this is where true happiness lies.) Your actions will engender self-respect, which make you love yourself more. You have such a rewarding summer to look forward to!

Leo:

You're going to be so popular this summer, it could be problematic. You might be running around like the White Rabbit muttering, "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date." For whatever reason, you'll be much more involved with groups: clubs, organizations, small groups or large conferences. You will also be quite involved with friends, enjoying parties, social situations and group outings. (An interesting group outing is when three people come out of the closet at one dinner party.) Lord knows you're burning through cash right now, and it looks like you'll continue to spend big as all these social opportunities urge you to keep pace with what's happening.

Virgo:

Things are looking very good for you because this unusual situation with Venus takes place at the very top of your chart. This means your reputation is shining! People are impressed with you. They see you as attractive, charming, diplomatic and successful. Because you look so good, you might strike up a new friendship or even a new romance with someone older, richer or wiser - perhaps a mentor figure. In addition, others will want your creative advice about design, layout, appearances, colours, composition or any kind of aesthetic dilemma. Suddenly, you're the go-to person. (Enjoy this great PR!) But don't come on too heavy. Explore physical workouts and outdoor sports to use some of your pent-up energy.

Libra:

Perhaps more than any other sign (Taurus is a close second), you adore beauty. You love beautiful clothes, beautiful rooms, beautiful carpets, tables, gardens, patios, libraries, boutiques, linens and fabrics, dishes and stemware - the list is endless. You also love beautiful ideas. (Oscar Wilde and Pierre Trudeau were Librans.) This summer, you will adore travel and meeting unusual people and fascinating circumstances. You'll also enjoy studying and broadening your experiences through the arts, literature, film and seeing museums, parks and gorgeous architectural buildings. You will find a way to feast on exciting ideas and eye-candy experiences that delight you. All this will expand your consciousness. (Like, wow.)

Scorpio:

Lucky you! The heavens have arranged to bring you money. Most definitely, people will give you money this summer (and have probably already done so). In addition, you'll attract favourable opportunities, perks, gifts, loans, mortgages and the offer to use things that others own. You will benefit from the wealth of others. This can be handy because you're so involved in group situations (sports or whatever), you might need an instant clubhouse! Privately, your love life is going to be life-changing. Not only will romance be intense, it will strongly impact your life in a deep way. It will go beyond the mere physical and become a vehicle for self-transformation. (Well, at least a new hairstyle.) Pretty heady stuff!

Sagittarius:

Oh my, you have the good fortune of experiencing a summer wherein all your partnerships and close friendships will delightfully improve. You can count on this. Singles could meet someone "serious." Those of you in existing relationships will find your relationship deepens in an affectionate, friendly way. In part, this is because you find it easy to express your affection to others. (Everyone wants to hear they're loved.) In turn, you will feel warm and gratified when they express their affection to you. Everything is going along so swimmingly, you'll even forgive your enemies. (Just remember their names.) This is an excellent time to settle lawsuits and make peace. This is also an excellent summer to marry or make a commitment to someone. Don't go it alone. Be cozy and friendly!

Capricorn:

Many of you are going to have wonderful health benefits this summer. Perhaps this is due to a new exercise regime or because you'll take up a new sport that benefits your body. Or you may change your diet in a positive way by avoiding eating things that are harmful to you. (You will however, be tempted by sweets and desserts. Just remember: A minute on the lips is a decade on the hips.) Along with improved health, your job is going to improve as well. This is a great time to negotiate with co-workers because they will be co-operative. You might get a raise, or praise or favours from others. You might also get a better budget or better working materials. It's all good.

Aquarius:

You're looking at one of the most fun summers you've possibly ever had. However, disputes about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues could continue. Nevertheless, your sex drive is strong! Vacations will promise good times. So will sports events, playful times with children and entertaining events: festivals, musical concerts and mini getaways. Love and romance are in the air! Existing romance will be unusually lighthearted and prankish. You will delight in opportunities to express your own creativity. Basically, you'll be having such a good time, unconsciously, you'll just be happy to be who you are. Yup, there's no time like the pleasant.

Pisces:

All Pisceans are going to be happier with their home scene this summer. You might get a new deck, or a new barbecue, or you might change your home to be more attractive. Many of you will certainly be on a decorating kick. Not only will you enjoy your own home personally in a quiet, private way; you'll also enjoy entertaining at home. In other words, you'll have it both ways! It certainly behooves you to improve your home this summer because you're entering an 18-month period where real-estate opportunities are going to be the best they have been for your sign in more than a decade. This means you can buy and sell. It also means you can invest in where you live because you will value whatever you do or buy for years in the future. (How thumb-sucking cozy.)

Aries:

This unusual placement of Venus is going to give you an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings and also to appreciate - on a daily basis - just how much love there is in your life. This is a wonderful thing because appreciation is one of the most elevating, edifying and inspirational experiences anyone can have. An appreciation for who you are and what you have, especially in your daily environment, is phenomenal! This summer, something will happen to make you feel so very, very fortunate. Naturally, these positive vibes set up a vibration of attracting positive people and favourable circumstances to you. What a great merry-go-round ride!
