TOKYO GINZA Astrology

This month gets more interesting when you team up with someone. A romantic invitation, support for a project, a request for advice from an unexpected person: someone else's arrival could suddenly make an idea you have been nurturing feel real. The Sun and New Moon in Libra energize one-to-one relationships, while Mars and Jupiter in Leo bring life to romance and creative work. Who gives you room to act like yourself? October helps you find the answer through your actual exchanges.

September makes you want to put your skills to satisfying use and enjoy the hours that follow. The Sun in Virgo and the New Moon around the 11th illuminate the 6th house of work and habits. Bringing a new method into familiar work could improve the result while giving you more to enjoy in the process. In the second half, the light shifts to one-to-one relationships, and you get a clearer idea of what you would like to do with someone you want to see. The Full Moon in Aries around the 26th marks a point when your own wishes come into focus. There is room in the same day for being useful to others and enjoying yourself.

In August, you may want to pursue something you had only thought looked interesting before. Around the 12th, a New Moon accompanied by a total solar eclipse falls in the 5th house of romance and creative work. It may give you a reason to move from enjoying an experience to creating one. Show your work, invite someone out, or start learning something you have long wanted to try. At the end of the month, Jupiter and Saturn help that first step grow into an activity you can keep up. Behind a lively calendar, you may also find an answer to feelings you have quietly nurtured alone. This month centers on the place where what others admire in you meets what you love doing.

An unexpected invitation, a piece of information so interesting you want to pass it on: in July, everyday conversations set your plans in motion. Early in the month, Mars and Uranus come together, stirring up messages and short journeys. Rather than nurturing an idea on your own, you may find your next destination by talking about it. Plans for your home or the places you use for work and other activities may also come up for review. In the second half, however, the Sun and Jupiter come together to enliven romance and creativity, and you will want to play a more active part in what you love. You can do more than join everyone else's plans this month; you can bring in something you find exciting yourself. The pleasure you take in it could draw new people to you too.

Things you want to know, people you want to meet, places you want to visit: in June, interests that have lived in your head become conversations and plans. The Sun moving through Gemini and the New Moon around the 15th illuminate words and learning close to home. Around the 9th, there is also a special pleasure in the time you spend at home or wherever you are staying. You may want to enjoy some of the stimulation you find outside in your own space too. At the end of the month, some arrangements need another conversation, while Jupiter moves into the area of romance and creativity. What would you like to enjoy for yourself next? This is the month you begin to find out.

This is the month to bring what you began in April to other people. The Sun in Taurus in the 2nd house and the New Moon around the 16th highlight the kind of work your skills and experience can become. An adjustment that feels routine to you may be exactly what someone has been hoping to ask for. Early in the month, refine what you do best; later, try fresh ideas for explaining and sharing it. As the Sun and Uranus meet in Gemini, a change in presentation could bring you to a different audience. You will also want to enjoy the money you spend on everyday life and the pleasures you share as a couple. Having something to savor after the work is done could put a spring in your step as you get down to it.

In your birthday month, you take the lead. Mars and Mercury enter Aries, followed by a New Moon around the 17th, and you want to turn something you have been eager to try into a concrete first step. Yet strength this month is about more than speed. Saturn in Aries asks what you will take on and how you will keep it going. Put your own name to a plan that has so far been about meeting other people's expectations: that kind of beginning suits April. In love, you receive the other person's answer; at work, you lead the way. A month that opens with exchanges between people eventually turns to how you share your own words and skills. Once you get going, you may have a much more specific goal than those around you realize.
