Most of you probably know your sign, but if you're uncertain - or if you want to check the horoscope of your partner - here's a convenient chart.

Tarotscopes are cast using a combination of astrology and tarot cards. Each month I will pull a fresh card for every sign of the zodiac to see what influences are in the stars for your love life. To get even more out of your tarotscope, read your moon sign and rising sign to get a better grasp on what you need to know. If you are born on the cusp, read the sign near you as well. You can never be armed with too much information to make the right moves in that age-old mating dance! For example, I was born on January 23, so I read Aquarius and Capricorn. My moon sign is Virgo and my rising sign is Leo so I read those signs as well. Your moon sign is your feminine side and the side you become more like as you pass through middle age. Your rising sign is your public face, the mask you wear before people get to know you. You can have an astrology chart cast at astrology.net or astroadvice.com.

Here's JULY:


One and All:
Batten down the hatches from July 4th to 28th as Mercury will be going retrograde. Since Mercury is the planet of communication, you may find even the simplest things are a big trauma. Before Mercury goes retrograde, you can make some preparations. If your car has been acting up, get it fixed before the 4th. If you have any contracts coming your way, try to have them finalized and signed before the 4th. Once the retrograde starts, you may find you are having problems all over the place. There may be miscommunication, arguments, lost items, Internet issues, computer problems and car problems. Some people do well during the retrograde, and this is because they have planets that are complimentary during this time. If you find that you’re having problems during this transit, try to hang on and chant to yourself that by the 28th it will all be over.


ARIES: High Priestess
Patience is the name of the game. Maybe you are eager to play with someone but they aren’t quite into it yet. Don’t bully him or her but use your powers of communication to explain yourself in more detail than you’re used to doing. You have the power in this relationship. Even if you’re into SM, be certain to let your partner feel that the power is equally balanced. Everything is going to work out if you don’t push it.

TAURUS: Queen of Cups
Feminine energy is high this month. So is your psychic energy. You may find you are having some weird dreams. Pay attention to them, for they are bringing you messages. This is also a time of romance. Use your feminine side to capture your lover’s attention. Be warm and nurturing, doing your best to please your partner. You may find that some wine in a Jacuzzi or by a beach will open the doors to more interesting adventures. You may want to try going to a nude beach if you’ve never done it.

GEMINI: Ten of Swords
Ok, so something happened that makes you feel betrayed. You aren’t dead yet. Don’t let past disappointment color what happens next. You may be having some back problems so go to a chiropractor. Adventurous Gemini may need to add something extra to your sex life to spice it up. You may want to go to a dungeon and experiment with different types of floggers. Some Geminis will get a new piercing or tattoo. A bit of pleasure mixed with pain will wake up your senses and you’ll feel alive again.

CANCER: Page of Wands
Women: You may meet a younger man. This guy has a lot of sexual energy so put on your best cougar outfit and play. He will be aggressive, sexual, may make a few false promises but he means well. He also may disappear on you as fast as he arrived. Men: You may have the opportunity to meet a new woman. Take her to a fetish night and enjoy spanking each other. A bit of caning will also excite her. You could play teacher and student, with you being the naughty boy, of course!

LEO: Page of Swords
Women: You are going to meet a younger man who is impatient, impulsive and acts like Peter Pan. You may find yourself arguing quite a lot, but the make up sex rocks. Don’t be quick to jump to conclusions with this guy, he’s just spouting off at the mouth because he’s so full of nervous energy. Men: You may meet a woman who brings out the little boy in you. Be playful but try not to be critical or argumentative. You both like to play around with bondage, so tie each other up and use some interesting floggers.

VIRGO: Eight of Swords
You are so confused that you don’t know if you’re coming or going. The games that are being played are fine as long as you both agree on them. Always pick a safe word and discuss your games in great detail before going into them. Bondage is in the cards this month, whether you are the one that likes to tie people up or whether you are the one that likes to be tied up. Poke around on the Internet to find some new ways to use rope.

LIBRA: Four of Swords
If you party too hard, you’re going to get sick. If there’s been a lot of stress lately, take some time off. A vacation is the best bet but if you can’t have that, at least take some time out for yourself to chill for a while. Incorporate some new ideas into your relationship so that you don’t get bored. A new spanking table or bondage bench might be just the piece of furniture you need for your dungeon.

SCORPIO: Ace of Cups
Lucky Scorpio. Your cup runneth over with love and passion. There is sex in there too. If you’re single, you’re going to meet someone new. But it’s not going to happen sitting alone in your apartment with your cat. Get out to the clubs and meet people. Do some online dating. Take a few chances and you will be repaid. Have a romantic candlelight dinner or drink some champagne in the Jacuzzi. A kinky bubble bath will add some zing to your relationship.

SAGITTARIUS: Page of Pentacles
A new opportunity is going to present itself this month. You have an admirer who is just dying to meet you. This person may be a bit shy, so if you notice someone oogling you, ask him or her out. Women: You may meet a younger man who will give you a gift or take you on an interesting adventure. Men: You want to shower your present lover with presents. Go ahead, every woman loves presents. If you’re into SM, a new paddle will add some excitement to your love life.

CAPRICORN: Eight of Wands
Everything is happening so fast and you can hardly keep up. The sexual energy is high. You may find yourself having sex many times a day or with many partners. If you’re single, take advantage of your overactive libido and get out into the dating world. For kinky Cap, going to a fetish club will put you touch with the right people. In the whirlwind that is ongoing this month, don’t take anything for granted. You just might overlook something.

AQUARIUS: Three of Cups
Kinky Aquarius loves threesomes and this month may bring one or more your way. Get out to parties and clubs. Put your profile on the Internet. Be happy and charming (not that I have to tell you that) everywhere you go. One party may lead to another. Your natural charisma will put you in the spotlight. Be creative in the sexual arena. Go on a sex cruise or go to a nude beach. Wherever you go, people will be attracted to you. Use your powers wisely.

PISCES: Empress
Love and emotions rule Pisces this month. You are sensuous, seductive and passionate. Women: You are sitting pretty, wanting to be ravished with affection and given lots of gifts. You want sensual gifts that will wake up your sexuality. Men: There’s a woman that you adore in your life this month. Buy her a new vibrator or other sex toy. Your oral sex technique is legendary and your woman appreciates it as much as you want to give it to her.
