.
Aries
(Mar21/Apr20) Muddled instructions make it difficult to do your job. You'll need
to ask for clarification. Don't be surprised when your superior is angered by
your request. That's because they're not sure what to do, either, and just want
to pass on the mess to you. Stick to your guns and keep asking for precise
directions. You're not afraid of confrontation. Besides, you'll just have to
begin again if you take the wrong tack. Why waste valuable time and energy just
for the sake of keeping the peace?
.
Taurus
(Apr21/May21) Think twice before getting involved in a tempestuous love affair.
Although you're attracted to a passionate lover, you aren't the type who enjoys
constant emotional upheavals. Hold out for someone who wants to make life easier
for you, rather than defy you at every turn. If you're already in a
relationship, you will find your partner being extremely disagreeable. It's
almost as if they want to start an argument. Don't take the bait.
.
Gemini
(May22/Jun21) Domestic squabbles make this a tiresome day. You simply can't get
any relatives or roommates to cooperate. If you're looking to find someone to do
repairs, you should wait for another few days, until an expert's schedule clears
up. Hiring someone with a dodgy reputation will only end in disaster. This is
not a good time to discuss moving in with a lover or applying for a home loan.
Household matters are a source of annoyance. You're better off focusing on
career prospects.
.
Cancer
(Jun22/Jul23) Take it easy while driving; if someone cuts you up, let them go
their merry way. Displays of road rage will just escalate the problem. Leave
plenty of time before embarking on a plane or train trip, and make sure to bring
diverting reading materials. It's possible you could hit traffic en route to the
airport or station. Alternatively, your flight or train could be delayed. It
will be extremely difficult to get where you want in a direct, easy fashion.
Postponing your journey altogether is your best bet.
.
Leo
(Jul24/Aug23) This is an unfavourable time to make expensive purchases or take
even modest gambles. You're better off keeping your money in the bank, where it
will be safe from wild changes of fortune. A child or lover is clamouring for a
gift you can't afford. Instead of putting yourself deep in debt, explain the
financial reality of your situation. Pretending to have more than you have will
just create more unrealistic expectations. By exercising caution now, you can be
generous later.
.
Virgo
(Aug24/Sep23) Be very careful when handling hot materials or sharp tools. Nasty
accidents have a way of occurring, so it's best to wear as much safety equipment
as possible. Friends and family will laugh at these precautions, but you'll be
glad you took pains to protect yourself in the end. Keep a close eye on
children, who have a tendency to put themselves in the path of danger now. Lots
of supervised playtime will create a pleasant spirit of harmony. Youngsters love
it when you lavish them with attention.
.
Libra
(Sep24/Oct23) It's hard to get any rest when you have so much on your mind. Try
adopting some relaxation techniques at bedtime. Turn the computer off an hour
before going to bed. Listen to soothing music. Wear earplugs and an eye mask if
you need to. By creating a restful sleep environment, you'll soon be able to
escape the stress that has been compromising your health. Once you get some
sleep, it will be much easier to deal with the problems that have been plaguing
you.
.
Scorpio
(Oct24/Nov22) Peers are pressuring you to do something you don't want. Now is
not the time to go against your conscience. It's better to take a moral stand,
even at the risk of losing friends. In the end, people will remember you took
the noble route. Of course, taking a stance can be a lonely business. Be kind to
yourself during this difficult time. Pamper yourself with a spa treatment,
shopping spree, or movie marathon. Sometimes it's best to shut the world out.
.
Sagittarius
(Nov23/Dec21) An oppressive authority figure is playing mind games with you.
Stop defending your decisions all the time. The more indifferent you are to
their criticisms, the less torment you will receive. It's hard for you to turn a
deaf ear to complaints, since you're the type who likes finding solutions to
problems. Does your boss want a row rather than resolution? Some people prefer
stirring the pot than actually doing work. Remember this when you have to deal
with them.
.
Capricorn
(Dec22/Jan20) Hidden enemies are trying to make trouble for you. Avoid legal
entanglements like the plague. You're better off settling differences behind the
scenes. The last thing you need is to make your private business public. If
you're in a relationship, your lover's family will try your patience. It's time
to establish some firm personal boundaries. Stop letting these interlopers run
rampant over you. Don't think you must always be at their beck and call.
.
Aquarius
(Jan21/Feb19) Finances are a source of contention. You and a partner have very
different attitudes towards money. The only way to reconcile this breach is to
have a heart to heart conversation. Each of you will have to make concessions to
each other. Establish a savings goal and schedule occasional indulgences.
Maintaining separate bank accounts can ease the tension between you, too. Nobody
likes to feel judged, especially when it comes to what they value.
.
Pisces
(Feb20/Mar20) Your best friend or lover is pressuring you to pursue an
unappealing career opportunity. What they fail to realise is that you have very
different ambitions. You want work that inspires and enlightens you. Sitting
behind a desk and doing the same thing day after day will dull your spirit. Keep
your eyes open for a job that reflects your interests. Alternatively, you may
decide to take a steady position that gives you plenty of time to write, paint,
dance, or draw.
