.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’re spreading yourself too thinly. Stop accepting every invitation that comes your way and start making more room for personal time in your schedule. Friends aren’t terribly supportive of your plans. They think you’re setting yourself up for a disappointment and maybe they are right. Still, you’d rather take a chance than hedge your bets. Arguments over an inheritance or refund throw a wrench in your financial plans. Don’t count on this sum to pay your bills.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Don’t throw your pearls to swine. Someone who continually takes advantage of your kindness and generosity will come to you for yet another helping hand. Be ready to give them the thumbs down. You work hard for your money; use it for your own comfort and care. Nobody will think you’re selfish for doing so; they all know the score. A powerful mentor is ready to form a partnership with you. This will helps you focus on the sort of work you do enjoy.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) An opportunist will try to take advantage of your boundless energy and generosity. If there’s anything you can’t stand, it’s being idle. So when you see people who are struggling with tasks, you volunteer to help. Unfortunately, someone who has decided they don’t want to pull their weight is counting on you to relieve their burdens. Don’t take the bait. A persuasive charmer has plans and ideas that attract you, but your views and values are just as valid so stick to them.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Friends are jealous of your good fortune. Don’t let this spoil your fun. The Universe is an abundant place. Just because you’re being showered with love, money and adventure doesn’t mean you’re hogging everyone else’s supply. An attentive lover shows appreciation for your creative talent. This inspires you to paint, bake, garden and create, anything that allows you to play with colour, flavour, fragrance and texture appeals to your artistic side. Invite your inner child out to play.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You won’t be able to talk sense to an idealistic friend or lover. You’ll just have to let them make their own mistakes and learn their own lessons. If their efforts are triumphant, be willing to eat humble pie. Revamping your daily schedule will help you move past some destructive behaviours. Make time for exercise, rest and creative pursuits on a daily basis. Too often, you suffer burnout from spreading yourself so thin. Prepare for family members to take your ego down a few pegs.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A negative attitude is taking its toll on your relationships. People are tired of being dragged down by your pessimistic predictions. You have to focus on what is going right in your life, rather than the disappointments. Part of the problem is your environment. Fill your living space with flourishing plants, light colours and natural fibres. If you’re suffering from depression, adopt a pet. A cat, dog, or tank filled with fish will provide a welcome outlet for your nurturing instincts.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You’re paying the price for having an entourage of friends and followers. Spending all of your time with a large group is draining your energy. Take this opportunity to strike out on your own. Communing with nature can be very helpful for you. Ordinarily, you prefer the glitz and glamour of big cities. By walking through the woods, park, or garden, you’ll realise you have an appreciation for another kind of beauty as well. Be realistic about a lover’s strengths and weaknesses.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) It’s time to face off with a business or romantic partner who is trying to put you in the shade. Usually, you have no problem standing on the sidelines while your friend soaks up all the attention. This only becomes a problem when people start ignoring your feelings. You have very strong feelings about a political matter. Just because you’re close to someone doesn’t mean you share their views and values so speak up when somebody makes assumptions about your beliefs.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Stop looking at a situation through rose coloured glasses. If a person or organisation has a history of disappointing you, you have a good idea of what you can expect from the future. It’s time to break off this relationship and look for something better. Spending quality time by yourself will make you realise just how much tension this problem has caused. Give yourself a chance to heal. Repairing an old business relationship will give you a renewed sense of strength.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A passionate involvement could be causing problems in your social life. It’s hard to tear yourself away from something or someone who fascinates you. Still, you can’t afford to sideline or neglect your oldest friends. At some point, you have to reconnect with the people who have loved and supported you through the tough times. Your magnetic personality helps you mend fences, especially if you own up to your shortcomings and issue sincere apologies.
    .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Stop kidding yourself about an authority figure. You need to be careful or you might find yourself in hot water if you don’t know when to put on the brakes. Trust your instincts and don’t put yourself in a compromising position. Never be alone with this executive, or people will talk and gossip will run rampant. You can no longer feel charitable to a family member who is continually down on their luck. At some point, your relative must take responsibility for their actions.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Don’t be too quick to praise an egotist. This so called expert is being given too much credit for their accomplishments. The majority of work is being performed by a dedicated army of assistants. Don’t listen to your inner critic when it comes to taking a class. You’re more than capable of expanding your horizons. You’ll never know what you can do until you push the envelope. Joining a professional organisation will give you an outlet for your expertise.

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Beware of poking your nose where it doesn’t belong; everyone has a right to privacy. If you don’t trust a partner, it’s time to have a heart to heart talk. If your amour’s reassurances aren’t convincing, ask yourself whether your suspicions are rational or not. Have you caught them telling lies before? Do their stories seem farfetched? Do they have a pattern of going missing? Deep in your heart, you know the truth. You deserve a lover who is loyal and true.

"El amor no mira con los ojos, sino con el alma."
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’re tired of playing follow the leader all the time; you have strong feelings and definite tastes. Having to defer them for someone else is depressing. The next time you have to choose a restaurant or movie, speak up. Press your point, even if it means having an argument. It may seem like a minor issue, but what’s really at stake is equality. Nobody should have to give up all their interests for the sake of a relationship. Stand your ground.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Being too demanding of your colleagues will make you very unpopular. Remember you want different things from your job. For you, it’s a calling. For others, it’s a way to pay their bills. Therefore, you shouldn’t be surprised if colleagues opt to attend family functions instead of staying late. If you’re offered a choice between earning a flat salary and a commission, choose the latter. With your drive, you’ll outperform the competition by a significant margin.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Don’t be naive about a blossoming friendship because a newcomer has romantic designs on you. It doesn’t matter if you are single or attached; this admirer is determined to win your heart. Try not to lash out at an old acquaintance who warned you about this possibility. When you were first alerted to the problem, you brushed it away like an annoying fly. Now you realise the threat is serious, you’re angry and embarrassed. Swallow your pride and admit you were wrong.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It’s time to decide whether you’re going to take the path your family wants, or the one you desire. Your job requires you to project a luxurious image. This makes frugal relatives uncomfortable. Resist the urge to underplay your glamorous aura; it’s part of who you are. At first, you’ll feel judged. If you persist in dressing the way you want and attending the sorts of events that appeal to you, your kin will stop giving you grief about your celebrity status.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You lack the funds to study or travel, but don’t let that stop you from learning. You’ve been blessed with a keen intellect. Reading books that have always interested you will give you a greater understanding of the subjects you love. Granted, it is difficult to operate in a vacuum. Eventually your financial situation will improve. By that time, you can afford a good teacher and you’ll have lots of preparation for the coursework ahead.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Summoning your personal power is difficult when you’re indebted to others. Take this opportunity to create a plan by which you will fulfil your obligations as quickly as possible. If someone is emotionally blackmailing you, it’s time to cut the cord. You shouldn’t feel compelled to be in a relationship with anyone, especially out of guilt. Distancing yourself from this manipulator will be a huge relief. Fortunately, a protective relative will keep this pest at bay.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) It feels like you’re losing your identity to your best friend, lover, or business partner. You’re tired of suppressing your passion all the time. For some reason, your friend is threatened by your powerful emotions. They are always telling you to tone them down. This approach doesn’t work for you. You need a channel for your feelings, whether it’s a writing project, blog, or diary. Going to therapy can help, too. You need a place where you can talk freely, without fear of reprisal.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You feel the urge to isolate yourself from the crowd. Giving all of your time and energy to work has been exhausting. No matter how much you contribute, you never get the recognition and compensation you deserve. No wonder you prefer solitary pursuits. Writing, taking nature walks, and meditating give you a sense of fulfilment that your job never could. Fortunately, you’ll find a wonderful opportunity to earn money whilst working from home.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) At some point, you have to set yourself apart from the crowd. While it’s very comforting to have the support of a large group, you cannot distinguish yourself in its midst. You’re a lot more creative than you pretend. Expressing your imagination will attract lots of favourable publicity. It will also make you an expert in your own right. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to teach classes or start a business in your area of expertise. Stop hiding your light beneath a bushel.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Pride will be your downfall if you are not careful. Stop clinging to the stature of your position and do what is required of every member of your family. Doing chores, attending special occasions, and spending quality time with your nearest and dearest is essential. Using your job as an excuse to neglect these duties will create a great deal of resentment. Besides, there is more to life than career success. Balance your professional life by strengthening your personal one.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Imposing your ideals on others will drive people from your midst. Just because you are passionate about religion and politics doesn’t mean everyone else should be. We’re all made differently. Some value family above all else; others have a powerful social conscience. By showing respect for everyone’s values, even when they are different from your own, you’ll notice a remarkable change. Suddenly people will be more receptive of your ideas and appreciative of your talent.

And as the international community tries to get to the bottom of Gaddafi's death, a leaked video could very well provide the answer everyone's looking for. This Libyan says he didn't like the idea of taking the Colonel alive. He also flaunted what he calls Gaddafi's bloodied shirt, and a golden ring he claims to have taken from the dead dictator. The man's comments have not yet been confirmed. Doctor Benjamin Barber, a senior fellow at a U.S. think tank, doesn't expect anyone will be held accountable for the Colonel's death
