.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A power struggle over money undermines your confidence. Stop questioning whether you deserve such a big portion of the sum at stake. You always have a tendency to downplay your contributions. You have regularly done the work of two people. Considering how much you have done, it’s a wonder you’re not asking for more compensation. Stick to your guns and keep demanding your fair share of the proceeds. You’ve got to advocate your interests; nobody else will.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) There are more important things than being in a relationship. If you’re single, stop lamenting your situation. Embrace it instead. Revel in the fact you don’t have to call home, share your money, or change your ways to suit someone else’s lifestyle. If you do have a lover, try getting a little distance. Go on a holiday by yourself. Don’t worry what your family will say. You shouldn’t have to justify being good to yourself, especially when you’re so nurturing towards others.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You won’t get extra points for working compulsively. It’s more important to foster good relationships with your colleagues than have an impressive record of productivity. Enjoy your time off. Spend it on a solitary activity that recharges your batteries. Reading, writing, or sketching will have a therapeutic effect. It will also remind you there is more to life than earning a wage. You’ve been blessed with tremendous creative talent. Exercise it like you would any other muscle of your body.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Obsessing over a lost love isn’t getting you anywhere. You could be having fun with friends instead of poring over old photos and emails. Force yourself to attend a casual party. Once you hear the music and have some refreshments, your troubles will seem like a distant memory. Resist the urge to go on a shopping spree to ease your wounded ego. If you need something special to wear, go through your closet. You’ll find a great outfit you had totally forgotten.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It makes you very uncomfortable to discuss family matters in public. Still, you must be honest about all the domestic tension you’ve been experiencing. This will let neighbours and colleagues know you need a little forbearance. There’s no shame in admitting you are experiencing stress. Everybody goes through similar situations. The key is not to pretend everything is fine when you’re really struggling. Human beings are social creatures who want to help each other in times of trial.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Wait 24 hours before firing off an angry email or leaving an irate phone message. You don’t want to come off as petty or unreasonable. Yes, an inconsiderate person has made life difficult. The only way to remedy the situation is to confront the pest in a calm, rational manner. It’s impossible to argue with logic, especially when it’s delivered by someone who has full control of their emotions. Push yourself a little harder with a creative project. Don’t give up on it just yet.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Shrouding financial matters in secret will create problems in an intimate relationship. Even if the two of you don’t share a bank account, you should be aware of each other’s monetary situation. If you’re deep in debt, admit it. Create a strategy to pay your bills. Your partner will be instrumental in helping you get back into the black. Pretending you’re in good shape will put unnecessary strain on your union. You have to admit, it’s tiring to put on an act all the time.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Your powerful personality is too much for a loved one to handle. Unless you back off, you run the risk of destroying a beautiful friendship. Jealousy has always been a problem for you. Instead of keeping a tight rein on your nearest and dearest, encourage them to expand their social circles. You don’t have to do everything together. Actually, it’s healthier to have separate interests and friends. Watch out for someone’s negative envy or jealousy.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) An embarrassing secret comes to light, prompting you to scramble for cover. Friends will be a lot more sympathetic than you expected. After all, everybody has one portion of their lives that is shielded from public view. Why should you be any different? From now on, you have to be more laid back with workmates who have the tendency to be very quiet and secretive They have a right to privacy. Not everything is as crystal clear as it appears.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Try not to be too hard on a friend who has just embarked on a romance. You won’t be seeing your loved one nearly as much as when they were single. This always happens with somebody falls in love. Instead of dwelling on your disappointment, find something interesting to do. This would be a great time to take up a sport or hobby. Resist the urge to take up an activity that your lover enjoys. You have to assert your independence.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Drive and determination are causing you to work long hours. You might have to skip an important family event as a result. As far as you’re concerned, your absence couldn’t be helped. Your relatives see the issue a little differently. Instead of getting defensive in the face of their angry accusations, offer a sincere apology. Aim to be more attentive to loved ones. The next time your boss asks you to work over the weekend give them the thumbs down.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Just because you feel very strongly about an issue doesn’t mean everybody else should take up the cause. Resist the urge to pressure a friend into joining a cause or fundraiser. You never know what people are dealing with in their personal lives. If you want to discuss politics, religion, or culture, do so with people who share your interests. That way, you won’t seem like you’re pressuring anyone to convert. It’s especially important to keep things friendly with fellow workers.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Power plays are going on all around you. You have to divide your time between home and work. No matter how hard you try to be fair neither party will feel satisfied. When you feel as if you’re being torn in two, head for some quiet place you can collect your thoughts. Channelling your frustrations into a creative project can be soothing. You’ve got a good eye for colour so why not take up a design project, paint a masterpiece or decorate the front room.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’ve never felt very confident about your intellectual powers, preferring to rely on intuition and instincts to guide your way. Unfortunately, you are being held back from a lack of experience or know how. The only remedy is to get the training you need. This may take a considerable sacrifice of time and money. Still, the results will be worth it. Console yourself with the fact that now you are an adult, you get to choose how, when and with whom you move forward.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Learning to live with the restrictions of a tight budget is never fun. Still, you’re imaginative enough to make your existing resources stretch far. It’s just a matter of treating the whole process like a game. If you link saving with sacrifice, you’ll fail. On the other hand, if you treat every shopping excursion as a challenge, you’ll save tons of cash. Be realistic about a legal matter. It may be better to settle out of court than to let the matter drag out for weeks.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A close partnership is showing signs of strain. You long to assert your independence, but this means putting distance between you and a friend or lover. It’s possible your loved one is jealous of your success. When the chips are down you’re more than a match for anyone. Your leadership ability is second to none. In fact, people often turn to you during their worst troubles, knowing that you will find inventive solutions. That’s something to be very proud of.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Take care not to burn too much midnight oil. Although you’ve been blessed with tremendous energy, even you can get wacked out and weary every now and again. Scale back your schedule a bit. It will be good for you to spend a couple of quiet evenings at home. A power struggle at work will erupt. You’re tired of being bossed around by someone who doesn’t have any authority over you. Standing up to them will cause some fireworks, but they’re long overdue.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You feel torn between following your heart and pleasing your pals. At some point, you have to set some boundaries. Although you love to be of service, that shouldn’t mean pushing your needs aside all the time. The next time you go out with a group, push your agenda. If your attempts aren’t successful, head off on your own. Your loved ones will be startled by your rebellious behaviour, but they’ll eventually come to respect it. There is such a thing as being too nice.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) If your domestic life is becoming a strain and if you’re not happy with where you live, it’s time to find another place. This may mean you have to take a second job or find a roommate, but that’s better than being miserable all the time. If you get a new job, it may be necessary to move to a new home. Although you don’t relish the prospect of all this change and upheaval, it’s a small price to pay for fulfilling your potential. Move beyond what is familiar. .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Do small things and do them well. Yes, you’ve experienced a string of bad breaks, but you’ve also had some good fortune along the way, too. Furthermore, you have some very supportive friends and relatives. Get into the habit of looking around you and counting your blessings. It may sound old fashioned, but this sort of positive outlook on life will help you see that there are opportunities for personal growth and even professional and financial success.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Going against your principles always unnerves you. You hate having to decide between standing up for your beliefs and protecting your interests but that’s what you have to do today. Ask a legal professional if you’re being asked to do something dubious. Their advice will be invaluable. Maybe you can draw things out so you won’t have to make a hard decision. It may sound as if you’re outing things off, but that may be your best way forward now.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You’ll have to relinquish an element of control if you’re going to preserve a close relationship. Although it scares you to leave a loved one to their own devices, you may have no choice. Exerting more pressure will only drive love from your door. Stop issuing orders and be receptive to their proposals. Be willing to put your faith in your partner. If you’re single it may be because you can be too demanding. Relax your standards, especially in the early phases of courtship.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Isolating yourself from the world won’t solve anything. In fact, it will just add to your troubles. It’s essential to deal with someone or something that has been tormenting you for weeks. Take the direct approach. You have to draw a line in the sand and say things have got to change. Once you seize the initiative and make your position crystal clear to all and sundry you will find life gets easier and you will definitely feel more empowered and independent

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You’re losing valuable time. If you’re going to fulfil your dreams, you must buckle down. Set aside time every day to further your education, develop a creative project, or strengthen your body. A dreamy person like you needs to work according to a timeline. Without one, you’ll lose sight of your goals. Ask friends to hold you accountable. If certain people in your life encourage bad habits, stay away from them. It’s time to create a strong support network.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’ve never been very judgmental about friends, preferring to live and let live. Lately a couple of your loved ones have given you cause for concern. You’re worried that associating yourself with them will compromise your own reputation. Get some distance from this group, even at the risk of seeming disloyal. Stay close to a romantic partner who wants the best for you. Collaborating on a creative project will give you an excuse to stay out of trouble.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Lately, you’ve been going with the flow, following whatever opportunities look best. This approach to life has been relaxing, but it hasn’t yielded impressive results. If you’re going to realise a goal, you have to take charge of your living situation. Move to a place that is good for your career. Put an end to a domestic arrangement where your confidence has been undermined. Affiliate yourself with people who are working in your desired industry.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re tired of looking outside yourself for answers. Books, classes, and services have been helpful, but now you’re ready to look inward and draw your own conclusions. Beware of sharing secrets with a relative or neighbour. Although you long to have a heart to heart talk, people have a way being disloyal. You’re better off recording your thoughts in a diary, where you can express yourself freely. Watch anything you post on a blog or social network; it could come back to haunt you.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) It’s important to be vigilant about joint finances. Review all bank and credit card statements. If you see any charges that don’t make sense, call the financial institution in question. You have to protect your own interests. Nobody else will do it for you. If you’re in a relationship with someone who isn’t very responsible with money, open your own bank account. Don’t give your partner access to it. That way, if any problems arise in your relationship, you won’t be left in a precarious situation.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Adopting a more realistic view of relationships is critical. In the past, you’ve had a tendency to see people as either all good or all bad. Everyone has positive and negative traits. The sooner you acknowledge your loved ones are flawed, the more rewarding these unions will be. You might be surprised to learn some of your friends live in fear of letting you down. Being perched on a pedestal is scary. If someone makes a mistake, laugh it off and move forward.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) At long last, some job offers are coming your way. Although these positions won’t be very prestigious, they will bring a steady income. One of your assignments will require working with a temperamental expert. You won’t agree with their methods, but you’re not getting paid to reinvent the wheel. Just do what you’re asked and you’ll be given a greater measure of freedom. Everybody has to pay dues before moving up the ladder of success. That includes you!

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You’re starting to emerge from a heavy romantic fog. While indulging your sensual side has been fun, it’s time to get back to business. A friend will ask you to take the helm of a creative organisation. At first, you’ll be reluctant to accept such an important job, but don’t be so quick to refuse. If you make a success of this venture, you’ll be given even bigger and better assignments. Making a respected name for yourself in the arts will have unimaginable benefits.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Get some distance from a needy relative. Although you enjoy being of service to your family, there needs to be a limit to what you can do. Recently, you’ve been given an opportunity to take charge of an important work project. If you do a good job, you’ll be given a raise or promotion. Your progress will be compromised if you’re constantly interrupted with calls for help. Ask other members of your family to attend to the person in need while you’re busy.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Although you enjoy being involved with community activities, it’s time to cut back your involvement. Spending every spare moment on neighbourhood meetings, fundraisers, and crime watches has taken its toll on your personal life. Move your focus to health issues. Making time to cook nutritious meals and take regular exercise is critical. Changing gears is always difficult at first, but once you establish a habit, your new regimen will become second nature.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Adopting a more practical attitude towards money puts you on safer ground. Lately, you’ve been donating a lot of resources to an important cause. That’s admirable, but it’s also put you in a difficult position. Instead of automatically agreeing to support every cause that comes down the pike, pick two or three charities that are close to your heart. Donate a set portion of your income to these organisations, while also putting a bigger percentage into savings.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You won’t be as susceptible to environmental influences as you have been in the past. At long last, you’ve mastered the trick of blocking out distractions. Being able to focus on work is a relief, but your personal life will suffer. It’s hard to maintain an intimate connection when you’re always thinking about different ways to get ahead. Set aside some time this weekend for a romantic interlude. Head for your amour’s favourite retreat so the two of you can reconnect.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Irrational fears have been holding you back from achieving your dreams. Now you’re determined to shake off these anxieties. If that means getting counselling, so be it. A hypnotist can also be helpful in situations like this. Beware of sharing your plans with others. Well meaning relatives and neighbours may not be as supportive as you need. Remember, the important thing is to get help. Whatever form this assistance takes is irrelevant, so long as it works. Trust your instincts.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’re a very fast learner, and have no problem picking up complicated concepts. As a result, you’re quickly accepted as a valued member of the team. While it’s gratifying to realise you are respected, it means even more than knowing you are popular. If you are thinking of launching a home based business, this would be an opportune time to do so. You’ll enjoy building a team of talented people who enjoy working together.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Your charisma makes you a popular figure on the romantic market. Whether you’re attached or single, you won’t lack for attention. Ultimately, you have to hitch your star to someone who appreciates your nurturing abilities. Your talent for bringing out the best in children, animals, and plants should be applauded. Unfortunately, too many people take these gifts for granted. You will team up with a romantic partner who knows what a gem you are.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Spending money on home improvements makes you nervous, but you’ll soon be glad you took the plunge. Struggling with faulty appliances and broken furniture is taking a toll on your sanity. By making a list of your needs and wants, you’ll be able to get the most for your money. Someone who is well versed in home improvements will direct you to the best products. If you play your cards right, you will even be able to learn how to fix a few things yourself.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Making quick decisions is critical to your success. You have a chance to study with an exacting teacher. Although you will bristle at their criticisms, don’t let that discourage you from your studies. Besides, there is always room for improvement. By taking your instructor’s advice, you’ll hone your raw talent to a diamond like brilliance. If you need a computer or gadget, be willing to drive a hard bargain. You’ll get a great deal if you stick to your guns.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to conquering an old demon. You can break a bad habit, provided you’re gentle with yourself. When you have a setback, grieve the situation and then move on. You’re only human, after all. It’s probably wise to keep your rehabilitation a secret from friends who are bad influences. They have a vested interest in keeping you dependent. Although you hate to keep your distance from your loved ones, it’s probably a good idea.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You’re intent on getting your own way and won’t brook any refusal. Friends are impressed with your enthusiasm and will offer their full support. Financial and emotional assistance will be forthcoming, but you do need to ask for it. Push your foolish pride aside for the sake of your dreams. Eventually, you’ll be able to repay your benefactors. More importantly putting yourself in the hands of your loved ones will foster closer friendships. There is strength in numbers; gather your team now.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Trust your instincts about a career prospect, as you’ve never given yourself much credit for being gifted. It always seems like your peers are more talented and capable. Stop selling yourself short. This job or promotion is long overdue. Getting paid to exercise your diplomacy, artistry, and intelligence will be like getting a gift from heaven. Although you’d never admit it you love basking in the spotlight. Don’t be surprised when romantic propositions start rolling in.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Spending time with friends expands your appreciation for art, music, and culture. Let your loved ones expand your horizons. Too often, you stick to what is familiar. If you treat the unknown as an exciting mystery to be solved you’ll garner some enthusiasm. A dynamic teacher or guru wants to take you under their wing. At first, you’ll feel completely out of your element. Remain patient and allow yourself to make mistakes. Eventually, you’ll get the hang of things.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You take pleasure in overseeing big projects; leave the niggling details to someone else. People enjoy working for you because you’re so quick and honest with praise. Everyone feels appreciated when you’re at the helm. If you think somebody can do better, you’ll offer a friendly suggestion, rather than a harsh criticism. This brings out the best in your entire team. Looking for work? Seek opportunities related to education, research, or writing.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You say exactly what’s on your mind, which impresses an ambitious admirer. The two of you can accomplish great things by joining forces. You’ll take care of the big picture while your partner will attend to the small details. When it comes time to make a difficult decision, you’ll pull the trigger. Although you have a reputation for being a tough business executive, you’ve really got a soft heart. Let your partner pamper you when you’re feeling blue.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You’re very good at keeping secrets and maybe that’s why so many people want to confide in you. Your greatest challenge is to open up to others. Fortunately, someone who is worthy of your trust is helping you to overcome your fear of betrayal. If you’re romantically involved, you’ll reach new heights of sexual ecstasy. You know you’re in love when your brain stops working and your body reigns supreme. It’s nice to see your sensual side come out.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) This is a great time to sign a contract or strike a business deal. You have to create an arrangement that allows you a great deal of creative expression. Your partner can handle all the nuts and bolts of the operation. Obviously, you will have to perform a few unpleasant jobs, but that will be par for the course. Still, you want to spend the majority of the time dealing with the artistic side of things. Fortunately, your partner will be very supportive of your talent.
