Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’re not thinking clearly about money matters. Ask your best friend, business partner, or lover to help you make order out of this chaos. Writing down everything you buy, whether it’s a new outfit or stick of gum, will show you where all of your money really goes. Beware of wasting your money on insignificant purchases. Bring your lunch instead of buying it, brew your own coffee, and get reading material from the library.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’re not getting a lot of direction from your boss so it looks like you’ll have to make your own way. Just be sure to play by the book. You don’t want to give your superiors any excuse to fire you. Fortunately, your colleagues sympathise with your situation and will go the extra mile to help. Lean on an experienced colleague when you’re out of your depth. Their advice will help you finish a difficult project well before the deadline.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Contrary to what you might think, it is important to get formal training to get ahead. Yes, your hands on experience is valuable, but it won’t impress officials. If you’re going to get ahead in a desired field, you need to get a diploma or certificate from an accredited institution. Your studies will cut into your leisure time, but you will enjoy the intellectual stimulation that your classes afford. Plus, you’ll make a very close friend who serves as the yin to your yang.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Check your credit card bills and bank statements for inconsistencies. You don’t want to get charged for things you didn’t buy. These days, identity theft is so rampant that everybody needs to be vigilant about their accounts. An older relative has good advice about finding a job. Although it may have been a long time since they have been working, they still have good instincts about what it takes to get hired.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Deceiving a loved one will do irreparable damage to your relationship. If you’re engaged in shady behaviour, it needs to stop. Compulsive shopping, sneaking around, gambling, drinking…if you feel the need to hide things, it’s because they’re wrong. Talking to a counsellor will make you understand why you feel compelled to lead this double life. With a little work, you won’t feel tempted again. Nothing defeats addiction like bringing it into the harsh light of day.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A mysterious illness is causing problems at work. It’s hard to get steady employment when you always have to phone in sick. Maybe it’s time to see a specialist. Look for someone who has extensive experience with the part of the body or system that’s giving you trouble. You might also want to ask friends and family if they have recommendations. Going public with the issue will take a great deal of stress off your shoulders.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You’re having a hard time finding time for fun. It seems like everybody needs something from you now. Changing your priorities is critical. Devote a set time each day or week to your favourite activity, whether it’s a hobby, sport, or relaxation measure. Make this timeslot sacrosanct. That way, it won’t fall through the cracks and you won’t feel resentful when helping others. As with everything important in your life, it’s all about balance.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Usually, you have a good handle on your feelings. Now you’re not so sure what your emotions are. Part of the problem is you have difficulty feeling conflicted about loved ones. Putting friends and family on pedestals gets you in lots of trouble, because they invariably fall from these perches. Make allowances for people’s human imperfections. Working in seclusion will put some extra money in your pocket. Luckily, you enjoy the peace and quiet.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) This is a terrible time to sign contracts, no matter how pressured you feel. If you do enter into a legal agreement, you can be sure it will work against your interests. Hold out for a better situation, even if you have to pay a fine or take a temporary financial hit. Friends in high places will find a channel for your talents. If you need a job, spread the word. Somebody in your social circle will alert you to an upcoming job opening.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Step up your efforts if you aim to make the money you need to get the luxuries you want. That means taking on more responsibility, working longer hours, and tougher assignments. At times, you’ll feel like you’ve been separated from the team, forced to operate alone. Still, these quiet hours of seclusion will be very productive. Your enhanced performance will attract the attention of people in power, putting you in line for a promotion, rise, or both.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Your priorities have become confused and changes in your current world of work or sphere of operations make it not as attractive as it used to be. A person you once adored has lost their charm. You’re not even sure you want to live in the same part of the world anymore. Fortunately, a respected expert is poised to give you guidance. Take their words to heart. A short trip out of town will give you the perspective you need to make a change.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Dwelling on the past is only preventing you from realising your potential. Stop making excuses for why life hasn’t worked to your satisfaction. You can find happiness if you choose. It’s as simple as facing your demons. Stop living vicariously through loved ones and do something for yourself. Pursuing your dream career will take lots of work, but it will also give a great deal of satisfaction. A relative or neighbour could help you get a hearing.
