.

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.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) If you’re looking for a job, explore opportunities at a place you once worked before. There could be something right up your alley. Granted, the pay won’t be spectacular, but it will be steady. Any position you take will be temporary. Don’t worry; you’ll find a permanent position next month. Right now you’ve just got to focus on making ends meet. It may be necessary to correct a colleague’s mistakes. Be as tactful as possible; nobody likes being corrected.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) This is a great time to return to a creative project you abandoned some time ago. You have a little more time on your hands, making it easy to put the finishing touches on this endeavour. Exercising your creativity gives you a sexy glow. Don’t be surprised when admirers beat a path to your door. Someone from your past will try to reignite your passion. While the prospect of an affair is tempting, you really don’t want to rekindle this particular relationship.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re starting to reconsider some of your core values. Just because your family taught you to think in certain ways doesn’t mean these beliefs are valid. Now you’re older and have more experience, you can develop your own moral code. Some of your relatives will be offended by your new direction, but don’t get defensive. You have every right to forge your own life. Just because you reject certain values doesn’t mean you’re overhauling your entire social circle.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Some appointments are made to be broken. You’ll be forced to overhaul your schedule several times, and may even miss a meeting or two. It can’t be helped; the stars are going haywire. Save yourself some aggravation by keeping your mobile charged at all times, and having everybody’s numbers programmed in two separate places. That way, if your phone crashes, you’ll be able to replace all the data you’ve lost. Don’t mail anything valuable without insurance or tracking.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It’s time to streamline your resources; too much clutter makes it difficult to focus. Tackle your workspace first. Get rid of any material you haven’t used in over a year. If you have to keep samples or documentation, keep them in a special storage file and stow it safely away. You may want to invest in some attractive boxes and bins. The fewer eyesores you have in your office, the more productive you will be. Surround yourself only with things that are useful, beautiful, or both.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Softening your approach will make it easier to form alliances. You have a tendency to be critical, and even if your comments are valid, they can be experienced as hurtful. By tempering your comments with genuine praise, you’ll become more successful. An unresolved personal matter needs to be cleared up before you make a presentation. Be the first to extend an olive branch. No one will think less of you for taking the first step towards a peaceful resolution.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A growing dissatisfaction prompts you to make some critical changes. You’re tired of the status quo, but are afraid of disrupting it. Everybody else is having a great time, and you don’t want to spoil the fun. Fortunately, you don’t need to make a big deal of your boredom. Just slip away quietly and take up an activity that gives you pleasure. Planning a garden or lavish menu will be a good use of your creative talent. This should be a solo effort.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You’ve been very impressionable lately, and are anxious to strike out on your own. Spending all of your time with friends has been wearing on your individuality. You should assert yourself in some bold way. Don’t talk about your plans with loved ones; they’ll just try to discourage your ideas. Just get started on a writing or research project that has been weighing on your mind. It doesn’t have to be commercially viable. It just has to engage your imagination and soothe your soul.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’ll have to reverse some decisions, which is embarrassing. Ultimately, it’s more important to do what is best for the group than maintain your pride. The surprising thing is how people will respect you more for changing your mind. It takes guts to admit you are wrong. An authority figure will go back on their promise. This will be devastating. Give yourself a chance to sneak off to some private hideaway and get your act together again.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You must reconsider how much importance you’re putting on spirituality. While it’s always admirable to pursue the larger questions in life, the physical plane is equally important. Attending to your sexual needs will be very gratifying. If you have a partner, engage in frequent lovemaking. Satisfy your desires, even if they seem a little strange. Articulate your needs; your lover will be happy to oblige you. Are you single? Spend more time engaging your five senses.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Lately, you’ve felt drained of energy. It’s time to consider how you can change your routine so you’ll have more time for rest and relaxation. Restorative activities like sketching, painting, and reading need to be incorporated into your daily routine. You’d also be wise to spend more time out of doors. Some people will feel alienated by your new lifestyle, but eventually, they’ll accept these changes. You’re not trying to drive others away; you’re just making solitude a greater priority.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A strained relationship can be repaired provided you’re willing to listen. Cast aside all of your assumptions and ask your friend what is wrong, and what you can do to remedy the situation. At first, their observations and suggestions will seem absurd. Before lashing out at these remarks, sit with them quietly. Consider whether you have been contributing to the problem, even if your motives have been pure. A little compromise will go a long way. What’s more important: being happy or being right?
