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

Horoscope: April 23-29

Happy Monday- It looks like Spring has finally sprung. The gentle beauty of cherry blossoms are living up the bare trees. To sound cliche; spring is always a time of new beginning, and revived outlook. I'm apprehensive of spring this year. My life is changing; I'll be leaving the comfort of routine associated with school for an undeclared adventure. The eternal optimist in me know the journey ahead is promised to be "one hell of ride," I just have to learn to let go and to allow for life to happen. With spring in the air; rethink, reorganize and redo what needs to be done. Enough said, check out your Georgia Nicols horoscope for April 23 - April 29. 

Taurus:

This is such a fortunate time for you! Of course, the Sun and lucky Jupiter are in your sign this month. (Yay me!) This attracts favourable circumstances and important people to you. In addition, Mars promises you a playful, prankish, flirtatious summer. You can expect to have fun with vacations, explore the arts, enjoy sports and playful activities with kids, as well as explore frisky, physical sexual adventures. Meanwhile, "The King was in his counting house counting out his money." Yes, fair Venus will bring you opportunities to increase your earnings, as well as opportunities to buy gorgeous treasures for yourself and loved ones. (You do love your trinkets.) Not too shabby, eh wot?

Gemini:

Even though you're working behind the scenes and planning your new year ahead, don't forget that Venus is in your sign until August. This is so rare! (It's usually there for only three weeks once a year.) Incidentally, this phenomenon will not occur again for more than a century, so make the most of it. You're going to have such a fun-loving, pleasurable summer! Venus will help you make peace with others and make new friends. Venus also makes you more attractive in other people's eyes, which is why you'll enjoy shopping for wardrobe goodies. It will also ameliorate the aggression, chaos and increased activity taking place at home due to renovations or visiting guests. You're extremely fortunate to be alive while this influence occurs.

Cancer:

This long duration of Venus and Mars (in their respective signs) for the summer will produce a rather unusual situation. Mars is hyping your communications with everyone. Now and for the summer ahead, you'll be more forthright, direct and bold about going after what you want. This is an asset for those who sell, market, teach, act, write or drive for a living. (You're go, go, go!) Meanwhile, in a secretive way, Venus is hiding in your chart until August. (This long influence will never happen again in your lifetime.) For some, it will manifest as a secret love affair. Others simply will be content with moments of solitude and feeling pleased with themselves. "I like me." (You'll almost be purring.)

Leo:

This rare, lengthy stay of Venus and Mars in two signs will make you spend lots of money this summer. Indeed, this influence has been here for awhile, so you're already spending! Fortunately, Mars will energize everything to do with your cash flow, possessions and approach to money. This means you're also eager to earn money. You're similarly eager to organize your possessions and get rid of what you don't need and make the best use of what you have. "Out with the old, in with the new!" Meanwhile, Venus urges you to madly socialize. Friendships, clubs, groups and organizations all beckon to you this summer. (Friends can become lovers and lovers can become friends.)

Virgo:

You're super-revved with Mars in your sign for so many months. (From November of last year until July this year.) This hugely activates your life! It also gives you a wonderful chance to show the world what you can do. However, you are coming on like gangbusters! (You're more of a fighter for your rights than usual.) Because you're so aggressive and your physical energy is so high, you'll get a lot done but you might also be insensitive to others. "Outta my way! I've got things to do!" All summer, Venus, at the top of your chart, will attract romance with older, richer, worldlier partners. You'll also be asked to give your creative input to special projects. ("Perfect! That blue needed just a bit more white in it.")

Libra:

Not for more than 100 years will Venus have such a long run in this part of your chart. And what part of your chart might that be? It's the part that makes you want to travel, seek adventure and learn. Venus will bring you pleasurable trips this summer as well as possible love affairs with people from other cultures and different countries. Publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law will be blessed and might boost your income. Meanwhile, Mars continues to linger in a hidden part of your chart threatening to reveal childish, self-defeating behaviour (Moi?). When upset with others, don't confront them - confront yourself! Time to grow up. (Mars will also encourage secret love affairs.)

Scorpio:

You're receiving a double combo of lovely influences for the summer. (This is most unusual and will never again occur in your lifetime.) One of the influences (Mars) makes you unusually competitive in your dealings with others, especially group situations. It also inspires you to aggressively pursue your goals. (Physical activity will be unusually rewarding for you.) Meanwhile, fair Venus will attract gifts, goodies and favours from others all summer long, as well as promote affectionate, sweet sex. (Woot!) Many of you will benefit indirectly because your partner will earn more money. Others will inherit (where there's a will, there's a way).

Sagittarius:

This rare, unusually lengthy duration of Venus and Mars in their respective signs is powerful for your sign because Mars is at the top of your chart and Venus is opposite your sign. This means your ambition is stimulated as never before. You are totally stoked with energy to achieve certain goals. You will not be daunted or held back. You're just going to bloody well do it: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" Meanwhile, fair Venus beautifully sweetens relationships with partners and close friends. You'll find it easy to express your affections for others. You can even make favourable headway with enemies. Coochy-coo!

Capricorn:

You must be amazed at the opportunities you have to travel, take vacations plus enjoy yourself and party with others. (And it's not as if you're sitting around getting dusty. You're working hard as well.) This month, you are totally focused on fun, romance, sports and playful times with children. But for the whole summer, these party times are nicely balanced with establishing an easy rapport with co-workers, one that is mutually beneficial. In addition to which, you will continue to explore opportunities to travel, get further education and make the most of inroads in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. You wanted more?

Aquarius:

Many Aquarians are completely involved in the most fantastic love affair of their lives. (You might be married to this person or not.) Everything to do with romance, love affairs, the arts, playful times with children, vacations and sports will be highly rewarding for you this summer. On top of that, your sex drive is strong. You're ready for fun! Not only that, you will confidently defend your own best interests and make sure you get your fair share of the pie. If you have to divide something or discuss an inheritance or dispute about shared property, you'll be confident and successful. Continue to tap into your creative talent.

Pisces:

Busy, busy you! Short trips, mucho errands and conversations with others keep you on the go. But in the bigger picture, this summer you'll want to entertain at home and do whatever you can to beautify your digs. You'll buy goodies for where you live or paint and redecorate. Relations with family members will be more affectionate and peaceful. (This is wonderfully restoring for you.) But more than that, this will anchor you because Mars opposite your sign continues to create conflict with friends and partners when you least expect it. The upside is you're ready to defend yourself. You have the guts to clear the air with others and speak your mind. Hey, this is a good thing!

Aries:

This double whammy of Mars and Venus means you'll accomplish a lot this summer for two reasons: The first is your ruler Mars will motivate you to be super-productive. You'll take pride in how hard you work and how much you accomplish in the next few months. Not only will you want to be efficiently productive, you'll also want to improve your health. Therefore, you have all this motivation and energy! Meanwhile, Venus will give you the means to accomplish what you want because Venus makes you charming, diplomatic and able to talk about anything to anyone. Venus will also enhance your ability to discover how much love there is in your everyday world. And hey, do let others know how much you care for them as well, hmmm?

horoscopes: April 16- April 22

Happy Monday, Ya'll! I've been soaking up some sun in South Carolina for the past few days. The beach is beautiful. I love watching the water roll in and out with the tide. The ocean is hypnotic; so much so that I don't feel myself burning to a crisp. The sun-rays have left beautiful marks on my back; oh tan lines! 

As I recover from my zebra strips, the words of wisdom from Gergia Nicols will penetrate my thoughts reminding me that tan lines are not the end of the world. 

Aries:

In the month ahead, you'll be focused on money, earnings and cash flow. You'll think about how to boost your earnings, get a better job or make money on the side. Plus, you might make a major purchase. (Heavy focus on money!) You'll also be concerned with possessions and the things you own. Specifically, you'll want to feel that what you own helps you in your life, not hinders you. (In other words, do you own your stuff or does it own you?) Naturally, if you do buy something, you'll want to show it off! And at the most subtle level, the month ahead will prompt you to think more deeply about your value system: What really matters in life? Hmmm.

Taurus:

This week the Sun returns to your sign for the first time in a year, which means it's all about you and it's your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Take note: While this is a good thing, it can make you a tad overbearing when dealing with others. Nevertheless, it's totally appropriate in the month ahead to be self-centred and concerned with yourself. It's not selfishness. It simply means it's time to focus on you. Furthermore, you have a strong need to express yourself to others and this is valid. It's one time of year when your first duty is yourself. (Yes, you can have seconds on dessert.)

Gemini:

Observe your behaviour in the next month to identify self-defeating acts. We all send out two signals to the world: one is what we consciously say and do and the other one is what unconsciously propels us. Although we might not be aware of it, others see both. (Yikes!) But in the month ahead, your unconscious self can really grab you by the throat. Childhood behaviour patterns that are no longer appropriate might manifest in an embarrassing way. Grab this chance to identify them and let them go! ("Be gone!") Because your personal year is ending, the next four-to-six weeks is a good time to look back and see how well you're doing at the art of living.

Cancer:

Many of you love to garden, which is why the pastoral influence of the Taurus Sun excites you. This excitement translates into energy in your personality, which is why you're going to be much more popular during the next six weeks. Not only will you enjoy involvement with groups and friends, others will love to see you as well. Get out and schmooze! Team efforts will be productive. (In fact, it's a good time to form working relationships.) Speak freely about your hopes and dreams for the future because others might be able to help you (almost a certainty). Plus you're excited about your ideals.

Leo:

The Sun is now slowly moving across the top of your chart acting like a spotlight and drawing attention to you, especially from bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. And this lighting is flattering! Everyone think you're hot! Naturally, you can use this to your advantage. Go after what you want. Make your pitch. Demand the advantage. You'll be surprised how easily doors will open for you. This is also the perfect time to think about your life direction in general. Where are you headed? Where do you want to go? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, many of you are involved with parents more than usual. (My parents turned out pretty well.)

Virgo:

Mars in your sign is moving forward again, so you're charged up and raring to go! In part, this is why you're so keen to grab more of life in the next six weeks. You want to travel, see new places, meet new faces and learn new facts. You want adventure, fresh knowledge and the feeling that life is stimulating! You're Gene Kelly strutting across the stage singing "Got-ta dance!" This is a fabulous time to take a course or enroll in any kind of study or take up a new hobby. By all means, travel anywhere if you can! You'll love discussions that are metaphysical, philosophical, spiritual, religious and political because you're drawn to big ideas.

Libra:

Your love of restaurants, social fun, chic clothes and a beautiful home is tough on your pocketbook. ("Laugh now, pay later" can land you in debt.) Because you've enjoyed recent travels and splurges, now your financial reality is coming home to roost. This is why you'll be focused on debt, taxes, inheritances, insurance matters and shared property in the next month. You want to reduce your debt so you can have more fun in the future! Along with this desire, you want to improve your life at many levels. You'll be making lists of daily habits you wish you could cultivate to become a better person or live a richer life. Nothing wrong with that. Focus on what you want to achieve.

Scorpio:

The Sun is your source of energy and this is the only time all year when the Sun is opposite your sign. This means you need to get more rest. Factoid. Do yourself a favour and acknowledge this. Furthermore, the Sun opposite your sign makes you focus keenly on partnerships and close friendships. Good! Clean up messy situations and examine your relationships with others. Do these relationships benefit you? After all, it's a two-way street. You must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you for both parties to be happy, right? This is also the best month of the year to consult experts - lawyers, counselors, accountants and astrologers. Do it.

Sagittarius:

You're making To Do lists because you're so keen to get better organized. You want your life to run efficiently and effectively. You want to finish tasks you've already begun. You want to establish a better sense of order. In part, this is because you're also keen to improve your health and you know that cluttered surroundings contribute to a cluttered mind, and your mind is everything. Vigorous, daily outdoor exercise is probably on your list along with getting rid of whatever you don't need. You love to lighten your load because it means greater freedom in the future, which of course means freedom to travel. Yes!

Capricorn:

Oh joy! You're entering one of the most fun-filled months of the year! In fact, all this fun stuff will continue for six-to-eight weeks, depending on whether you're an early or late Capricorn. Because it's your turn to party, you're motivated to get out and have a good time. You also want the freedom to be able to express who you are. (Good.) Everything around you feels lighter, prankish and social. Your involvement in sports, the Arts and children will be increasingly rewarding. Your passion to have a good time encourages love affairs and romance to flourish. Needless to say, this is the perfect time of year to take a vacation! (Ya think?) Enjoy these good times.

Aquarius:

This month your attention swings to home, family and domestic matters. Some will cocoon at home to relax or tackle special projects. Others will be involved with family members, especially a parent. Because you're doing lots of personal self-evaluation and evaluating your surroundings, you'll think a lot about your personal lifestyle. This focus will manifest externally (as you check out where you live and your relations with family members) and internally (as you acquire a deeper, psychological self-awareness). "So Crates" (as he was called in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) espoused "Know thyself." And Lao Tzu said, "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened." I always say, "Who is picking up this tab?"

Pisces:

Strap on your sneakers because you hit the pavement running this month! You're busy. You've got places to go, things to do, people to see. You'll love the pace because you feel excited and "up" about life. Furthermore, you're stimulated by talking to everyone, running around doing errands and taking short trips. As the tempo of your life accelerates, you'll be increasingly aware of the need for clear communications with others. In fact, the next six weeks are the perfect time to tell others exactly what you think. Don't leave them in the dark. Spell it out for them. Many of you will read, write and study more as well. Life takes on a thrilling quality because you are so stoked about being alive!

Horoscopes: April 9-15

Happy Monday, hope you all enjoyed the long weekend. I hope that I am never to old to partake in an Easter Egg hunt; the bunny spoiled me this year with clever hid treats and Kinder Surprises. Enjoy the playfulness of time and family. And Check out your horoscope for the week of April 8-15, courtesy of Gorgia Nicols.

Aries:

This long Venus transit could be similar to whatever happened in the summer of 2004. It's cha-cha time! Your everyday social life will pick up in a lovely, pleasant way. You'll have fun talking and schmoozing with neighbours, siblings and relatives. Short trips will delight. And while all this lovely busy-ness prevails, you'll start to notice how much love there is in your everyday world. (Gosh.) You'll more easily express affection to others. You'll definitely appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings. What a gorgeous summer awaits! Romance with a neighbour or "relative" could percolate. (Hey, we're not talking Deliverance. We're talking blended families.)

Taurus:

"Show me the money!" This unusually long transit of Venus, the last to occur in more than a hundred years, will attract money and material possessions to you. Ka-ching! From now until the autumn, do look for ways to boost your income or find jobs that pay better. But keep in mind that Venus works both ways. Not only will it attract money and assets to you, it will also make you want to spend money on beautiful things, art, gorgeous clothes and elegant furniture. It could bless your investments and make borrowing easier. Some might even strike up work-related romance. And think of the beautiful clothes you will acquire all summer long.

Gemini:

This will be a memorable year for Geminis. For starters, Venus will be in your sign until the autumn (and never again be in your sign that long while you're alive). Plus, lucky Jupiter enters your sign in June to stay until July 2013. It doesn't get any better than this! (Well, it might, but I like saying that.) You'll be so charming and diplomatic, you'll magnetize others to you. And because you feel so attractive (and you will), it's the perfect time to shop for wardrobe goodies because you'll instinctively pick what looks flattering. Naturally, all this good stuff warms partnerships and close friendships. Take vacations! (Venus ranks pleasure above work.) Laugh it up!

Cancer:

This might sound corny but from now until the autumn your interest in spiritual ideas and things you might consider to be touchy-feely will deepen. Quite likely, you'll experience something personally that triggers this. As a result, you'll feel more selfless and genuinely be willing to share something or help others. You might say you'll be more in tune with the rewards one gets from altruistic and humanitarian activities. This could be in a personal sense (with family or your social circle), or it could resonate in a larger way because of your activities that affect others beyond your own sandbox. Sounds like a powerful opportunity to do some good.

Leo:

Is this the summer of 2004 again? You can definitely expect to enjoy mucho schmoozing with everyone and be involved in mucho activities with others. Not only will you enjoy the company of others, you'll feel affectionate with everyone. Even professional organizations and group meetings will benefit and please you. (People think you're hot. Everyone wants to be on your team.) Friends will become lovers and lovers will become friends. Privately, you'll find it easy to embrace hoped-for goals. It's like you're riding up front with the Little Engine That Could. ("I think I can. I think I can.") This is why relations with bosses and authority types will improve. They'll sense your positive attitude and certainly your potential! And this lasts until September!

Virgo:

Well, it's time to really sit up and take notice. Two unusual things are happening. One is Mars is in your sign for eight months instead of six weeks (like, Holy Steroids!). And now fair Venus will be sitting at the top of your chart until September. This is rare stuff! A large part of "luck" is knowing opportunity is knocking at your door. You do have to get up and open it. Remember this. You will appear so favourable to others (especially people in authority), they'll ask for your creative input on office furniture, floral arrangements, design, layout, gardening or the appearance of anything. Plus, romance with someone older, richer, wiser or more established could blossom. Need I say less?

Libra:

Travel for pleasure will so appeal to you this year! You love beautiful places and beautiful things so you will adore anywhere that has a fantastic, enticing ambience - gorgeous setting sun, balcony table, cobblestone streets and a little vino. (Good conversation is a must.) Romance with someone from another culture will blossom for many of you. Or perhaps this person is just "different." Explore art: buying it, learning more about it, or creating it. You'll be attracted to ideas that are consciousness-raising. You might also explore opportunities in publishing, medicine, the law and higher education. A very rewarding five months ahead awaits you. Start to dress for it. (You like to look pulled together.)

Scorpio:

Good news! (I say this because many of you enjoy recreational sex.) The next five months will not only stimulate all your love relationships in terms of intensity, but will also sweeten them with fond affection. (Aw, gee.) New relationships that begin this summer will be hot! (Definitely memorable.) In addition, this summer will attract money to you or your partner. In fact, not only money, but gifts, goodies, favours, perks and opportunities to benefit from the wealth and resources of others. Yee-haw! ("We get the cabin again!") Obviously, this same period is the perfect time to ask for loans or mortgages as well as settling disputed issues about shared property, inheritances and insurance. Lucky you!

Sagittarius:

Life bodes well for you for the next five months with fair Venus opposite your sign. This will hugely sweeten relations with others, especially important partnerships, intimate or professional. New friends and relationships will be attracted to you. The only downside this summer is you likely won't feel like working. ("I want to par-tay!") You'll be constantly amorous, ready for fun and possibly lacking in discrimination. ("Moi?" "Yes, you.") Naturally, this will be a fabulous summer for love affairs and indeed all relationships (even smoothing troubled waters with enemies). New love could be knocking at your door! ("How did you get my address?")

Capricorn:

How fitting that at this time, when you're really attaining a sense of power and a sense of who you are and what is working in your life and what is not - that at this time, for the next five months, relations with your job and the people you work with will improve beautifully. Yay! It will be easy to get along with bosses, employees, co-workers, customers and clients because this is an excellent time to discuss agreements and working relationships. Not only will you get praise from others, you might even get a raise. This is also an excellent time for your health, although overindulgence in sweets will be a temptation. (Maybe you can make it a tax-deductible experience?)

Aquarius:

Well, we knew (didn't we?) that your home life was going to improve beautifully. In large measure, this is going to happen simply because you're happy and you're having fun! But this unusually long sojourn of Venus (see All Signs above) will also encourage opportunities for fun, entertainment and having a good time. It's just that simple. Romance, love affairs, improved relations with kids plus sports activities and vacations will all be thrilling and exciting. Many of you will get in touch with your creative side. You'll love the Arts, whether it's Arts and Crafts, concerts, museums or enjoying the creativity of others. Romantic relationships will blossom incredibly! You'll feel happy in your skin.

Pisces:

This unusually long transit of Venus (never to occur again for 105 years) is here to stay, promoting good feelings this summer with family members as well as an increased enjoyment of your home. Many of you will be excited about decorating projects and tweaking your digs to make them more attractive and more appealing to everyone. An increased closeness and warmth of feeling with family members, especially parents, will last for months. Not only can you improve your home, but real-estate opportunities will benefit you as well. (Things will even look better with your daughter who is attending Stiletto High. Who knew?) A great summer ahead!

Horoscopes: March 19-25

Happy Monday, unfortunately for me, Spring Break is over- and I have to embark on the long trek back to Spokane. My muscles are a little soar from all the fresh snow that I was spoiled with at Sunshine Village. Now, I'm in the final academic push before my graduation commencement. I'm back to work; with fresh  motivation in mind. Here are your Georgia Nicols horoscopes for March 19- 25.

Aries:

Hubba hubba! The Sun is back in your sign, which means it's your birthday. Since the Sun is your source of energy, this is your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. (We like!) Furthermore, when the Sun is in your own sign, it tends to attract people and favourable circumstances to you. Make the most of this! (Ya think?) Demand the advantage. Ask for what you want. Meanwhile, continue to work hard. Many of you are improving your health through changes in diet or exercise. Perhaps we'll be looking at the new you by the end of this year? This year also promises money-making opportunities.

Taurus:

Every year, when the Sun enters Aries, it's your signal to work behind the scenes and ponder profundity. In fact, because your birthday is just one month away, this is the ideal time for you to plan or strategize what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. Are you pleased with last year? How do you want things to be different? With Jupiter in your sign for the next several months, you can expect many favourable conditions and pleasant surprises to please you. Then later this year and into next year, you will boost your income! Meanwhile, Mars continues to urge you to flirt, take vacations plus enjoy sports and playful activities with children. (Not too shabby!)

Gemini:

You will so enjoy the next six weeks because by nature, you're curious and social. You like to be out there in the thick of it. You like to know what's going on and you love the gossip! You will love this very popular month ahead. Get out and schmooze. Accept all invitations. Join groups, gatherings, clubs and associations. You'll find it particularly beneficial to discuss and share your hopes and dreams for the future with others because their feedback will help you. (Almost guaranteed.) You might need to touch base with a good friend to talk about the insanity or conflict and chaos that is going on at home. (Hey - there might be two of you, but you can only stand so much!)

Cancer:

The Sun is now at high noon in your chart acting like a spotlight on you. This is why the next six weeks will bring moments where people will notice you more than usual, in particular bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. (Ah yes, do take note this includes the police.) Fortunately, this so-called spotlight is actually great lighting for you, which is why you will be perceived as being unusually talented, capable, industrious or clever. (And you are!) This is why others will ask you to take on increased responsibilities. Just say yes. You can do the job. Furthermore, your ability to be assertive (surely you have noticed) will no doubt serve you well. ("Where do I sign?")

Leo:

As the Sun changes to Aries this week, your desire to travel and explore more of the world will increase. In fact, you want to grab more of life! This is why any kind of exploration will please you, be it physical, i.e. through travel or exploring your own city, or mental, i.e. travelling through books and film and learning more about the world. This is a great time to study and read. It's also a good time to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. (You also enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and other countries.) Meanwhile, you're spending money like it's going out of style. You might want to try to curb this (yeah yeah, why even mention it?)

Virgo:

Suddenly, you're intense about practically everything. And it looks like you're going to stay in this focused mode for the next six weeks. (Get ready, world.) Naturally, this gives you a greater drive for self-improvement and also for improving your surroundings and especially dealing with shared property, other people's resources and anything you own jointly with someone. You want to clear up the mess! However, this same energy will also make you sexually passionate. (Woo-woo!) Either way, you're turned on. And with fiery Mars still in your sign until the summer, you are all systems go! ("Houston, we're ready for take-off.")

Libra:

The Sun is our source of energy, and for the next month the Sun will be as far away from your sign (astrologically speaking) as it gets all year, which means you are going to need more rest. Many of you will have already noticed that you are sleeping more. (Your sign is funny when it comes to sleep. Your sleep patterns are all over the map.) Just remember to get more rest. You might feel easily confrontational with partners, and close friends as well. Instead of being annoyed with them, be the change that you want to see in them. If you want them to be loving and flirtatious, be loving and flirtatious! (Get it?) Got it. (Good.)

Scorpio:

Aren't we industrious? This Aries Sun makes you want to work! Well, you might as well make the most of this urge because it comes only once a year. Act on this by giving yourself the right tools to do a bang-up job. Buy cleaning equipment, paint, file folders, hangers, shelving, closet organizers or whatever you need to de-clutter where you live and work. Give yourself a feeling that you're more in control of your life and on top of your scene. (You'll love yourself for this later.) By the way, many of you want to maximize your health as well. Focus on a healthier diet and doing more exercise. (You'll love yourself later for this as well!)

Sagittarius:

"Come out and play!" The next six weeks are full of opportunities to flirt, party, play and travel for fun. You'll also enjoy arts and crafts, the theatre, movies, show business and exploring opportunities in the hospitality industry. Playful activities with children will also delight. That's because anything to do with fun and play (ironically, this includes financial speculation because technically, that's playing with money), is tops on your menu for the next month. Naturally, you will continue to work hard because Mars continues to rouse your ambition but do take time out to reward yourself with some sheer fun. Yay!

Capricorn:

Many of you are travelling for pleasure now. Enjoy yourself! Furthermore, enjoy flirtations, vacations, love affairs and romance. You're keen to expand your world and learn more about everything around you (preferably thousands of miles away). The irony is that coupled with this desire to travel and expand your world you're also focused on home and family in the next month. (Weird combo.) Some of you might travel with family or to see family. Others will do both: travel somewhere and then later enjoy "hiding" at home to do some serious thinking. Some will create a new home in another country or a different location. My, my.


Aquarius:

During the next six weeks, you're busy. You've got things to do, people to see, places to go. Interaction with siblings and relatives will increase. So will your involvement with reading and studying. "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date." You'll be doing the White Rabbit thing. (You might want to get a digital pocket watch.) You're eager to inform others about something or enlighten people. That's why you'll find yourself talking and writing more than usual. Home decorating projects will also appeal. Nevertheless, disputes about shared property or inheritances lurk in the wings.

Pisces:

You're pretty revved up about money in the next six weeks. You're focused on your cash flow as well as ideas about how to boost your earnings. Some of you will explore new job possibilities or ways to make money on the side. At a deeper level, you might wonder what your true values in life are. In other words, what really matters? (We know your car matters and the shoes you wear but, aside from that, what are the top five things that matter the most to you?) The more you are aware of what you value, the more you will live your life in a way that makes you happier. (I just made that up but I think it's true.)
