What’s this?

These horoscopes are written for the sidereal sun signs using the stars and not the seasons for calculation.

It’s helpful to read your sidereal rising sign if you know it.

HC and LLC are abbreviations for High Cycle and Lay Low Cycle. These days don’t guarantee things will go well or worse, but are more of an indication of your personal physical and emotional operational levels. Back in the day, we used to call these biorhythms.

Mars in Cancer April 3-June 6

If you regularly read this, you may notice Mars transiting Cancer is lasting a little longer than the usually 6-7 weeks. Mars was Retrograde, now Direct but still slow coming out of Gemini. The energy shift in some area of your life is much stronger and prolonged than usual. Where Cancer is in your chart there will be new beginnings and hopefully a separation from what you don’t need anymore. Or it may be ripped away in a most unpleasant way. If your Sun, Moon or Ascendant are in Cancer stay focused around machines and sharp objects!
