Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Drawing attention to an abusive situation will be futile. The deck is stacked against you. Your only course of action is to find a healthier situation. Don’t limit your search to a particular industry or salary. You could find a very fulfilling job related to childcare, hospitality or farming. Once you make the change, you’ll realise how miserable you were in your previous job. Places of employment take their cues from the top. If the boss is a disorganised, problems trickle down to the very bottom.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) If you’re going to accomplish your goals, you need to get specific. Instead of thinking in vagaries, construct a step by step plan. It could include signing up for a class, joining an employment agency, going on three dates a month, learning three new words of a foreign language per day…anything that is specific and quantifiable counts. The first step is always hardest. Once you follow your programme for thirty days, it will become an ingrained habit, and you’ll be on your way to success.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Achieving intimacy is impossible if the other person is always harbouring secrets. Although you once enjoyed the mystery surrounding your lover, now it worries you. Maybe it’s time to part ways, at least for the short term. You can’t afford to give your heart to someone who isn’t being honest. If you’re single, it may be because you are looking for some ideal that doesn’t exist. Instead of seeking the love of your life, focus on having fun. The passion will come later.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’re indecisive about an intimate relationship and part of the problem is that you don’t know your own heart. Although an admirer’s attentions are flattering, they don’t push all your buttons. You’re looking for a lover who makes you feel weak in the knees. Hold out for the real thing, even if there aren’t any good candidates on the horizon right now. If you’re already in a relationship, you need to spice things up in the bedroom before you and your partner drift further apart.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) All your best laid plans could be derailed, thanks to an unforeseen emergency. Instead of dwelling on your disappointment, take a deep breath and get some perspective. There will be plenty of time to run errands and meet with friends later. Right now, you’ve got to live in the moment. Although being in distress mode is never pleasant, it does force you to take an objective look at your life. Maybe you’ve been spending too much time on useless activities, when you should be having fun.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Taking a stupid risk will backfire. Stick to the tried and true, even if you are bored. A child’s temper tantrums are wearing on your nerves. Instead of punishing your young friend, have a heart to heart talk. You may be surprised to learn how much this youngster yearns for your company. By scaling back your work schedule and making more quality time for this child, you’ll notice a marked improvement in their behaviour. It’s time to get your priorities straight.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A relative won’t admit to his or her wrongdoing. Pressing this family member for the truth is a waste of time. You’re better off focusing on your future rather dwelling on your past. If you’re having difficulty breaking into your desired industry, you should lower your expectations. Be willing to work as an apprentice for a respected expert. The pay will be minimal, but the experience you’ll gain will be invaluable. Everybody needs to sacrifice to realise their dreams.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Information overload is sapping your energy. You need to simplify your life. Whether this means reducing your hours at work, narrowing your social circle or cleaning the clutter from your home, get to work. If you’re in education, it may be necessary to suspend your studies until life settles down. This is really heartbreaking, but there’s only so much you can do with one pair of hands. Once you make the break, you’ll feel as though a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’ve got to take a good, hard look at your financial situation. Just because you’re not materialistic doesn’t mean money is irrelevant. You need to take steps to protect you from insolvency. If you have debts that have spiralled out of control, create a plan for paying them off. It may take years, but it can be done. Enlist the aid of a money manager if you’re not sure how to consolidate your credit cards and lower their interest rates.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Trying to talk reason to a stubborn friend, colleague or romantic partner will be futile. They seem determined to follow a particularly wrongheaded course of action, and nothing you say will change their mind. Of course, you will have the last laugh, but it will be a hollow victory. Instead of obsessing over this distressing situation, move your focus elsewhere. Writing or teaching will be a welcome distraction, and be an outlet for all your frustrations, too.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Keeping secrets from a loved one is tearing your relationship apart. At some level, you fear your friend will reject you once they know the truth. Your instincts may be correct, but this doesn’t justify your deceptions. Take a deep breath and come clean. Be ready to accept the consequences. At the very least, you won’t get caught in your own lie. Besides, it’s entirely possible your loved one will accept the situation and try to build a new future with you.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) The dream that once captured your imagination has crumbled to dust. Although this is heartbreaking, it is also liberating. Now you’re able to make new plans in keeping with your current situation. Whether this means settling down to a happy home life, getting a pet or finding a rewarding job, you have gained something. Sure, you need to grieve this loss, but sooner or later, you’ll notice a glimmer of sunlight emerging from the clouds. When it happens, you’ll know you are healed.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Paying off a debt takes a huge weight off your shoulders. It also helps you to develop a new kind of intimacy with a loved one. You no longer feel defensive about your financial circumstances. Making a fresh start together feels exhilarating. Don’t let extravagant friends lead you into bad spending habits again. If you can’t afford an expensive outing, say so. Throw parties at home instead of hitting the hot spots. You’ll have just as much fun for a lot less cash.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You and your best friend, lover, or business partner have a fantastic rapport. It’s as if you can read each other’s minds. If you’re single, a friend will offer to set you up on a blind date. Be sure to accept this offer, as it will lead to a very fulfilling relationship. A career matter turns murky, making you worried about the future. There’s nothing you can do to protect your job, so just resign yourself to ride out this storm.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) A job offer will fall in your lap, just in the nick of time. Fortunately, your boss is a kind, generous person who wants to bring the best out of the staff. If you long for a creative assignment, ask for one. You may have to do a series of tasks before getting the plum job, but that won’t be a problem. You’re a speedy, efficient worker who has no problem with deadlines. Don’t be intimidated by a so called expert who has a lot more education than you.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You have a welcome chance to take a break from family and work responsibilities. Going on a trip will put you in the path of romance. Be sure to pack some of your most attractive outfits. If you already have a lover, the two of you will enjoy a second honeymoon of sorts. Getting a change of scenery helps you to see each other’s strong points more clearly. Money from an inheritance, legal settlement, or refund will be delayed. Budget your money accordingly.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Making your home a warm, nurturing place can be as simple as adding some tactile furniture and artwork. Buy a plush carpet for the living room and some fluffy bathroom towels. Invest in bed sheets with a high thread count of natural fibres. Choose blinds made of natural bamboo. An intriguing blend of tactile materials appeals to your sensual nature. Don’t let a partner’s disapproval curb your spending. You’ve earned the right to a little splurge.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Taking a class gives you a new lease on life. Sexual sparks will fly between you and the instructor. You love their generous spirit, while he or she admires your keen mind. If you’re already in a relationship, you and your partner may decide to launch a website or online business. At first, your roles will be muddled. It will take some time to realise your individual strengths and weaknesses. Until then, be kind to each other. Collaborative ventures take time.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A new source of income is on the way, just in the nick of time. A bigger pay packet makes daily life much easier. Suddenly, you’ll be able to buy the little luxuries that make life worth living. Beware of letting an old lover back into your good graces. There’s a reason the two of you broke up in the first place. Although he or she will talk a good game, you’ll soon realise this leopard hasn’t changed its spots.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Pay more attention to your appearance. Highlighting your best features will open new doors for you. Suddenly, it will be much easier to find jobs, love, creative opportunities…the world will become your oyster. Relatives may not be supportive of your makeover, but that’s because they want to maintain the status quo. Unfortunately, your present situation isn’t working to your benefit. It’s time to make a change, and you’ve got to be the one to trigger it.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Rest, reflect, and relax; spending more time at home gives you a sense of purpose. In the past, you hated the idea of setting down roots. Now you realise just how important it is to have a secure home base. If you want to buy a piece of property, a hidden benefactor will come to your rescue. Take a relative or neighbour’s promises with a pinch of salt. He or she has a tendency to exaggerate their abilities.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Donating time to a charitable organisation helps you acquire valuable skills. If the head of the institution offers to teach you something new, agree. You will be able to use this knowledge sooner than you think. The terms of a financial agreement are very murky. This is not a good time to sign a binding contract. Be sure to check your bills carefully, or you could be overcharged for a relatively inexpensive product or service.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A clear leader has emerged and it looks like it might be you. You’re able to make good decisions without letting emotion get in the way. Although you have a clear idea of what you are doing, you don’t like to tip your hand to your subordinates. This is a mistake. Keeping people in the dark will only make them anxious and angry. Show your game plan and be willing to make changes if they make sense. The best leaders know how to engage their team.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Expanding your knowledge makes you more attractive to others. You’ve always been fascinated in foreign cultures and art forms. By delving more deeply into your favourite subjects, you’ll be able to land a teaching or writing job. Don’t let your subconscious prevent you from following a dream. Your inner critic is intent on keeping you out of harm’s way. Unfortunately, sometimes you need to take a risk in order to move forward. Face down your fears and push past them.
