Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your loved ones are quite unsympathetic to your plight. As far as they are concerned, you get to do what you want, when you want. The truth is a little different, but that won't change their opinion. Stop complaining out loud and scribble your frustrations in a diary. Having a private outlet will keep anxiety at bay. It will also prevent resentment from building. Right now, you need all the allies you can get. You'll need a few babysitters so you can attend an upcoming project.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Playing the martyr won't get you anywhere. In fact, it could create unseen enemies who will do everything in their power to block your way. If you're having trouble with a friend, address the problem directly. Give examples of their problematic behaviour, and explain why it bothers you. The less emotional you are, the more seriously you will be taken. If the two of you do have a quarrel, your friendship may be permanently damaged. Maybe that's a blessing in disguise.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Joining a group will cause unexpected headaches. You're better off keeping your own counsel, but it is sure to take longer to reach your goal. Fortunately, you're talented enough to make a success of the project at hand. If you combine forces with others, you'll have to compromise until its impact is entirely diluted. If you owe a friend money, you need to pay it back as soon as possible, or your relationship will fall by the wayside. That would be a tragedy.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Assuming a public role will be more trouble than it is worth. Your personal life demands the lion's share of your attention. Pass up this promotion for the sake of your family. Spending more time with your nearest and dearest will give life a sense of purpose and meaning. Right now, your identity is being formed by the work you perform. It should be shaped by the relationships you hold. Try not to treat your relatives like lowly office assistants. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Imposing your beliefs on others will result in disaster. You need to be a little more open minded if you're going to work with a large group. Some members of your team seem distracted and unfocused. When this attitude seeps into their work, you can say something. As far as their personal lives are concerned you have to keep quiet. Nobody likes to be preached to, especially in a professional environment. Keep your judgements to yourself and focus on doing the best job you can.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Your intensity is driving potential allies away. You need to tone down your act, even if you're bursting to share your ideas with the world. Having a creative outlet can be helpful. Playing music, writing, or painting helps you put down on paper what you can never say aloud. A romance is starting to show signs of wear and tear. A temporary separation gives you the chance to reconsider whether this relationship is worth your time. You may prefer to go solo.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) The companionship you crave is elusive and everybody is too wrapped up in their own troubles to come to your aid. It looks as if you'll have to tackle a difficult task all by yourself. If you're not sure how to proceed, go online for a crash course. Whether it's fixing a tyre or cooking a meal, you can find some really helpful material. The more you exercise your independence, the easier it will be to find a partner. Self-sufficiency is an enormously attractive trait.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You need to take better care of your health, getting enough sleep is critical to your wellbeing. If insomnia is plaguing you, there are steps you can take to combat the problem. Stop eating four hours before bedtime. Listen to the same piece of soothing music at the same time each night. Comforting routines will lull you into a sense of relaxation, making it easier to forget your troubles and succumb to sleep. Resist the urge to read or watch television before retiring.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) It's not easy to trust people with your most cherished possessions. It may be better to cancel an appointment than throw caution to the wind. A youngster who has been having difficulty at school needs your care and attention. By scaling back your work schedule, you'll be able to get to the root of the problem. If you've recently embarked on a romance, refrain from introducing your partner to your family until your relationship is more secure.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're determined to settle an argument in your family, but one of the warring parties refuses to listen to reason. Instead of putting yourself in the middle of this fight, sit back and let Fate take its course. You can't control other people. If somebody insists on choosing money over loyalty, there's nothing you can do about it. Time will reward your sensible attitude, but right now you're starting to wonder whether it's better to act in your own interests. It's not! Continue to take the high road.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Be very selective when making friends. Someone who seems gracious and kind has an ulterior motive. You have lots of contacts that can benefit this newcomer. Don't write a letter of recommendation or put in a good word with the boss until you've had more time to observe their character. Resist the urge to buy something expensive. You won't be satisfied with the product once you bring it home, and may have difficulty returning it for a full refund.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Trying to be all things to all people will only bring disappointment. A relative or neighbour won't appreciate the sacrifices you make on their behalf. On the contrary, they will take advantage of your generosity until you don't have anything else to offer. Protect your interests, even at the risk of seeming callous to outsiders. If you lent a cherished object to somebody a few weeks ago, ask for it back. You've been more than patient. If it's been damaged, get a replacement.
