Auroscope

Aries (MAR 21 – APR 19)

We know it’s hard for you to wait, dear Aries. But you may have to wait for the next bonfire to start your professional projects. So this is the perfect time to develop your inner social butterfly … but beware of Scorpio rising! You might just find yourself in the center of an Auro-scandal.

Taurus (APR 20 – MAY 20)

Taurus, holy cow! Uranus is in your sign for the first time since before the creation of Auroville! That means you are striking out on your own – no longer just eating more wood in the summer, like termites. You should be active with a new project to keep you busy. Get out of your routinous rut and try something new – like a tandem bicycle!

Gemini (MAY 21 – JUN 20)

You know you’re going to wake up in a Gemini dream. Expect night sweats. So keep cool, dear Gemini, and sleep under a wet sheet. You should be hibernating this summer, ideally in A/C. Even if, with power cuts, it disrupts your short term adaptive thermal cooling capacities, at least it might interrupt your REM sleep.

Cancer (JUN 21 – JUL 22)

Difficult as we know this is for the shy introvert, you should work on your kundalini chakra to keep the energy flowing this month. Get out of your shell and draw kolams on Serenity beach . But beware that molting means you will be releasing those pheromones in the air! So stay on the lookout for summer surfers… ;-)

Leo (JUL 23 – AUG 22)

We know that you like to be at the center of attention. But this summer is expected to be too hot for you to shine. Use your energies to test your ego and get inspiration under the shade of a banyan tree. If this is too far from the limelight for you, maybe you should... do nothing. Anyhow there’s not too many people left to impress in Auroville in the summer months!

Virgo (AUG 23 – SEP 22)

It appears that you have recently been through a breakup – and everyone knows about it! The selection pool is small, dear Virgo, and you may have used it up. Watch out when you ride around on someone else’s motorcycle. Befriend Entry service? Or maybe you should just travel abroad this summer!

Libra (SEP 23 – OCT 22)

Libra is the sign of balance: playing on rusty antique scales… and never deciding anything. But heat waves will hit into your ruling planet Venus. So stop avoiding the inevitable – your soulmate is waiting for you to take a risk. To muster up your courage, run 10 times around the Matrimandir to catch the universal ray of light!

Scorpio (OCT 23 – NOV 21)

Your mind is teeming with enigmatic thoughts this summer. We suggest that you go to the Edayanchavadi village festival – to pour hot spices over your head and walk over the coals. No piercing, please! Transform your potential poison into a healing potion, and reach out to people in need. Join the Auroville Council!

Sagittarius (NOV 22 – DEC 21)

Our Greenbelt hunter/huntress, with crowbar over the shoulder… It is too hot to work in the forest now, Sag! Maybe slow down your life pace – a little less vital, please! – and try some Vipassana in the hill stations. If you dare staying still for that long!

Capricorn (DEC 22 – JAN 19)

It has been a difficult time for you this year – universal mourning with Saturn opposition, the planet of oppressive discipline. So shave your head and circle around the Thiru mountain in the full moon. You won’t meet the love of your life this summer, but you might inspire a following!

Aquarius (JAN 20 – FEB 18)

Aquarians are a dime a dozen in Auroville, my dear, so you may not feel as radical as you’d like to be. Temper that inner fire and go for a Watsu. But watch out for mid-summer thunderstorms – coup de foudre! Let the force of love assuage your relentless non-conformity!

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)

The universal nebula is good for your dreamy spirit. Have faith in the divine guidance of your ruling planet Neptune. Follow your flow and go diving in the Indian Ocean. Expect a miracle - the fish might just meet a mermaid! But beware of jellyfish, coastal effluent, agitating cyclones and coastal flooding. Reality is over-rated.
