.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You'll get a lot of cooperation at work, which comes as a real relief. Usually, you do the work of three people, just in the interests of finishing work in a fast, efficient manner. Now everybody is coming together in a spirit of harmony. Your boss is impressed by how you lead the team to victory. A raise won't be forthcoming as money is tight. Be patient and hold out for a better paying position. You'll get a stellar recommendation.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) A recent disappointment makes you hard and unyielding. The thought of opening your heart to someone simply terrifies you. Be gentle with a youngster who looks up to you. You may not realise it, but your opinion means a lot to them. If the stress becomes too much to handle, scale back your schedule. Cancel a trip. Give yourself more time to rest and relax in the comfort of your own home. Familiar surroundings have a soothing effect.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) It's important to finish what you've started, even if you're not happy with the way a project is going. Abandoning ship at this point will be a cause for regret later on. If you need help with a particular skill, enlist the aid of a tutor. Their guidance will help you blast through a stubborn obstacle. Your teacher will also introduce you to a type of art or music that never moved you before. It's as if you're looking at life with new eyes.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) An indecisive relative is driving you crazy. You're ready to put a bold plan into action. If you pull off this venture, you could make a good amount of money. Unfortunately, you don't have the start up capital to fund a business. It seems like your only recourse is getting financial help from an affluent family member. Think again. You could strike gold after applying to a religious, cultural, or educational institution for help. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Avoid black and white thinking, as it only makes you miserable. If you feel like you're being backed into a corner, take a deep breath and look around. There are more avenues available than you realise. Breaking a bad habit won't be as difficult as you think. It's mostly a matter of staying away from bad influences. You've got a good idea for a novel, short story, or screenplay. Sketch it out quickly, while inspiration is still strong. Don't let your inner critic censor you.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Don't let anxiety undermine you; there's no reason to believe the future will be fraught with problems. Why waste valuable energy fretting over worst case scenarios when you can be reading, studying, playing music and just enjoying your life? Positive thinking can work wonders. Trust your instincts about a money matter. If you think you can get a raise, ask for one. Are you self employed? Raise your rates. Customers will pay for quality work and service.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) An authority figure is pressuring you to make a decision. You don't want to commit yourself yet, but there may not be a choice. In the end, it may come down to flipping a coin. Try not to take the situation too seriously. Whatever comes, you'll be able to deal with it. The important thing is to jolt yourself out of this state of paralysis. If you need an added dose of courage, stick close to a brave friend.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Take care not to overwhelm a tender person with your blunt statements. At times, you have a cynical view of life. If you scratch the surface of any cynic you'll find a disappointed romantic. Find a way to satisfy your urge to create and enjoy beauty. Take up a musical instrument, go to a museum, or visit your favourite natural setting. Slowly, your heart will start to melt and it will be easier to let down your defences with those you love.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You're confused about what you really want. As a general rule, you're eager to accommodate the ones you love. Lately you've felt a burning desire to go on a trip, or write a book. These plans will put a tremendous weight on your loved ones, as they'll have to assume your duties while you're having fun. Don't be afraid to share your dreams. You'll be amazed how eager friends and family are to help you towards your goal.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You want to be left alone to do your work, but a well meaning friend or lover keeps interrupting you. Resist the temptation to lash out, or you'll do irreparable damage to your relationship. You've always been something of a workaholic. Try to scale back your duties and spend more time with your loved ones. Jobs may come and go, but friends are forever. At least, they will be if you give them your time and attention.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) An attentive friend or lover makes you feel valued. It's good to know all of your hard work is appreciated. Sometimes, it feels like you're operating in a vacuum. Work is challenging, as it's hard to connect with colleagues. Their interests are completely different from yours. Still, you should make an effort to strengthen these relationships, as they are integral to your career success. If you don't know what to talk about, try asking questions about their interests, hobbies, and beliefs.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Lately, you've been consumed by dark thoughts. The best way to brighten up your life is to do something good for yourself. Go swimming or dancing. Head for the park and take some pictures. Visit a flower garden and update your diary. Avoid pessimistic people like the plague. You don't need their negative energy dragging you down. An exciting work assignment will be offered to you. Accept immediately, before a rival swoops in and grabs it away from you.
