.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your romantic yearnings are unfulfilled, possibly because you harbour unrealistic expectations. If you want to find love, you should stop looking for someone who meets an arbitrary set of standards. Focus on meeting a variety of people instead. Sooner or later, you'll meet somebody with a unique combination of talents and flaws who is utterly captivating. Together, you'll generate a powerful chemistry that is almost impossible to ignore.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Don't give an authority figure the benefit of the doubt. This executive wants to get as much out of you as possible, with paying very little in return. If you allow this bully to take advantage of you, you'll set a dangerous precedent. Do some research into what other people in your position are being paid. Once you get a sense of what your talents are really worth, you'll be able to join the ranks of respected professionals. Hold out for the best deal you can get.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You're overly sentimental, tearing up at sappy commercials and weepy love songs. This is a sign you've been neglecting your emotional side. Take this opportunity to assemble a photo album, write to a faraway friend, or take a family memento out of storage. As a general rule, you prefer to look forward than dwell on the past. Lately you've been taking stock of your life. By maintaining those ties that bind, you'll avoid bitter regret in your later years.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) This is a terrible time to make a financial agreement or sign a contract. The terms will be confusing and you'll end up losing valuable resources. Be sure to check your credit card statement with a fine toothed comb. There could be some odd charges on your account. Call the powers that be to shut down your credit line. Take added precautions to protect your personal information, like using complicated online passwords and shredding financial documents.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Looking at life through rose tinted glasses is pleasant, but it can lead to trouble. A relationship that is falling apart at the seams needs your attention. Stop pretending everything is fine when your partner is clearly upset. You shouldn't put up with infidelity. If your amour has ongoing problems you need to think about giving them an ultimatum. You don't want to be seen to be consenting or enabling their bad ways. The sooner you face reality, the faster you'll nip it in the bud.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Deep seated fears are stopping you leading a more fulfilling lifestyle. Just because you want something that is totally alien to your family doesn't mean your desire is invalid. You've been blessed with a keen intellect and deep appreciation for culture. Moving to an area known for its music, galleries, and museums will give you a new lease on life. If you already live in a metropolis, you may want to relocate to another that affords better weather.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Friends aren't being very supportive of your creative efforts. Maybe it's because you make them feel unexceptional. Try not to put loved ones in the shade by always showing how wonderful you are. Yes, your work is incredibly impressive, but sometimes you should underplay your achievements. By adopting a humble attitude, people will be more amenable to embrace your talent. For now, focus on being just one of the gang.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) It feels like nobody understands you. Any time you venture an opinion, you're told you're being too negative and you do sometimes have a melancholy side that can be a little off putting. Still, there are many people who appreciate your dark sensibilities. The key is to know your audience. When you're with people who are relentlessly hopeful, keep a low profile. Once you've finished doing business with these starry eyed optimists, you can head out with friends and let your hair down.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You'll have to cancel plans at the last minute to help a neighbour, friend, or relative. Part of you really resents having to put off your holiday. That's understandable, but you'd never be able to live with the guilt if you ignored your obligations. The good news is you'll be able to get a better deal later in the season. With that in mind, turn your attention to making your friend as comfortable as possible. Rent some funny movies and audio books to keep their spirits high.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You can't afford to take a casual approach to work. Take extra care to review your efforts before turning them in. If you don't, you could be let go of a steady job, or receive reduced payment for your services. Lately, you've become a little lackadaisical with your duties, which is understandable. As a general rule, you're very conscientious. Now your love life is heating up, it's hard to stay focused on your responsibilities. Strive for a healthier balance.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Beware of coming on too fast with someone special. Whether you're looking for love or have a committed partner, you have to place a greater emphasis on foreplay. Get back into the habit of wining and dining the object of your affection. Resist the urge to jump straight into bed after a few preliminary kisses. The longer you let things play out, the more satisfying your encounter will be. Besides, you will benefit from being kissed, held, and caressed.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) It's hard to summon romantic feelings when your lover seems to have let themselves go. Have an honest but gentle conversation with your amour. Explain how you miss the days when you used to dress up for each other. Make an effort to recapture the early days of your courtship, when you'd make plans for a fun night out on the town. Ask to be treated with more kindness and consideration. This won't be an easy talk, but it is essential to the future of your love life.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Indulge your love of creature comforts. You'll find some terrific bargains on sheets, towels, and other household items. If you've been looking for a thick carpet or new curtains, now is the time to look for them. It's possible you'll find a terrific deal at an antique store. Put your negotiating skills to work. If you drive a hard bargain, you can get a discounted item for even less than the ticketed price. It's worth a try!

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) At long last, you have a chance to rest, relax, and let your hair down. This is a great day to pamper yourself with a gourmet meal, spa treatment, or languorous lovemaking session. Alternatively, a friend might invite you on a wild adventure that takes you far from home. Your first instinct may be to refuse, but don't be so quick to turn down this offer. You'll benefit from a change of scenery. Besides, it's been a long time since you connected with this loved one.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Volunteering for a charitable organisation puts your problems in perspective. Sometimes you dwell on minor problems that are a waste of energy. Be aware of this tendency, as it is robbing you of happiness. Working to make the world a better place will give you a renewed sense of power. It will also teach you some marketable skills. If someone offers to teach you carpentry, cooking, or gardening, accept immediately. This could be the beginning of a new career path.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You're in big demand on the social front right now. Invitations are pouring in, but you won't be able to attend all these events. Choose the one that afford the most relaxation. You'd rather kick back and relax with friends than enter a contest or perform in front of a group. These days, it feels like everybody is more interested in outshining each other than connecting in a meaningful way. Fortunately, you have several friends who love you unconditionally and feel no sense of rivalry with you.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Honesty is the cornerstone of success. You never pretend projects will cost less than they really will, or try to sell someone a more expensive product when a cheaper model would do just as well. Furthermore, you don't exaggerate your talents. Customers are rarely disappointed when doing business with you. If you work for a company and would like to open your own establishment, do so. Your reputation will draw clients from far and wide. You can't buy that kind of publicity.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You're ready to expand your horizons; developing your artistic talent will be especially rewarding. Choose a medium that involves getting your hands dirty. Playing around with paint, clay, or papier-mâché will help you loosen up and have fun. Too often, you overanalyse your work. Choosing an activity that primarily relies on your sense of touch will be liberating. Let a friend show you the ropes. Their enthusiastic attitude will be infectious. Besides, it's fun working with a partner.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Admirers are lining outside your door, begging for a second of your time. It's flattering to be in so much demand, but ultimately, your heart belongs to one person. The two of you make a stunning couple and turn heads wherever you go. You admire your amour's executive ability, while they respond to your sex appeal. Be careful not to get too wrapped up in your roles. Sometimes you should take the lead in your relationship. Don't forget to praise your lover's allure, either.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Negotiations will go very well. Whether you're striking a business deal, getting married or embarking on a romance is immaterial. The important thing is to state your needs in a clear, positive way. If your partner has some misgivings about your requests, be ready to propose some alternatives. By demonstrating you're willing to bend on some points, you're likely to get most of what you want. Teaming up with the person in question will greatly improve your financial situation, too.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Word of mouth is spreading of your talent. Several people will seek your services. This could be the beginning of a very successful business venture. Before setting your prices, do a little research. Find out what everybody else is charging, and then adjust your rates accordingly. It may be necessary to lower your rates a little at first to compensate for your lack of professional experience. Pretty soon you'll be able to compete with the old timers.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Romantic and financial risks pay off big, so obey an impulse to do something totally out of character. If you've been harbouring a crush on somebody, ask for a date. The more confident you appear, the easier it will be to get what you want. Pretend you're playing a part in a movie if the prospect scares you. Bored with work? Apply for jobs that appeal to your artistic side. You will be surprised when you receive several requests for interviews.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Home is a welcome haven from the uncertainties of the outside world. You've been working really hard lately, and showing signs of burnout. Take this opportunity to enjoy some quiet time with your family. Let them spoil you with special meals, loving gestures, and kind words. Sometimes it's difficult for you to receive love, because it makes you feel beholden to others. Push past your fears and open your heart. It's the only way to revel in the warmth that is coming to you.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You will be given a gift from a relative, classmate, or neighbour. Don't bother saving this tribute for a rainy day; use it regularly so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Too often, you believe yourself unworthy of luxuries. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the more you give yourself permission to enjoy the finer things in life, the more readily they will come to you. It's an unwritten law of the Universe. Every time you catch yourself saying, 'I really shouldn't,' do the opposite.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A deep, abiding love transforms the way you look at life. Before you met your amour, you had certain plans that were set in stone. Now you realise you've been selling yourself short. Travelling to foreign lands, expressing yourself through writing, and developing your artistic talents are all avenues you want to explore. There's no reason you have to continue down a boring, predictable path. Ask your partner for support and change direction. It's never too late to realise your full potential.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Your confidence gets a huge boost from a magnetic teacher. At long last, you feel encouraged and appreciated. You've always had a profound love of the arts. Take this opportunity to capitalise on your knowledge of the creative arts. Apply for jobs that speak directly to your passion. The competition will be fierce, but you're a very strong contender for a prominent job in a cultural organisation. Be sure to stress your strong work ethic during an interview.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Escaping the world through drugs, alcohol, or sex can be tempting. You're tired of bashing your head against a brick wall. If you give yourself one last push you'll finally overcome a stubborn obstacle. You have a sharp intellect, as well as a keen wit. Drawing on these qualities will melt a rival's defences. It's hard to refuse someone who is so charming and perceptive. Enlist the aid of a government worker if you must deal with a complicated bureaucracy.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your goals are undergoing a profound transformation. The activities that once filled you with excitement no longer captivate you. It's time to build a new dream. There's a good chance you've been taking a greater interest in the visual arts. Playing with colour, form, and composition will be a welcome challenge. Sign up for a painting class. An attentive teacher will recognise your talent and help bring it to perfection. You're about to embark on a whole new life, and it feels great.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) There's more to you than meets the eye. Although you've always had a fondness for glitz and glamour, you have real depth of character. This shows whenever you exercise your leadership ability. You make sure every member of your team feels valued. You reward good work and demand improvements whenever somebody falls short of the mark. Last but not least, you treat everybody with dignity. No wonder why so many people enjoy working with you! Use your popularity to catapult you up the ladder of success.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Your beliefs are undergoing a profound change, thanks to a younger friend. Seeing the world through their eyes renews your faith in humanity. Suddenly a world that seemed to be heading for destruction seems rife with possibility. Get involved with an environmental organisation, recycling drive, or organic food project is a great use of your time. If you play your cards right, you'll be offered a paying position within the year. Earning a salary to make the world a better place is your idea of heaven.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Tapping into your sensual side is critical to your happiness. You have a tendency to skim the surface of life, avoiding skirmishes and difficult questions. Now you have a chance to learn what you really want from life. Hitch your star to a visionary artist who brings out your playful side. With their encouragement, you'll become more assertive. Instead of deferring to your loved ones, you'll suggest the restaurant or movie. Don't be surprised when you become more forceful in the bedroom, too.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Your financial picture is starting to improve. A job opportunity involving teaching, writing, or research is worth taking. Don't worry if you lack previous experience. You're a fast learner and your employer has faith in your ability. It's especially fun to delve into a subject that's close to your heart. Your enthusiasm will be infectious, and you'll attract a loyal following very quickly. Pretty soon, people will be clamouring for your services. Adjust your prices accordingly; it's only fair.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A short trip for pleasure gives you a new lease on life. You're not the type who enjoys staying rooted to one place. Head for a nearby town that's always interested you. Venturing into unfamiliar territory will make you less resentful of your job and family. There's nothing wrong with having a home base. Problems occur when you lay the blame for your boredom on the people and activities that provide security. Learn to satisfy your desire for stimulation when restlessness sets in.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Realising the full extent of your personal power is as simple as finding a creative outlet. You especially like working with your hands. Hobbies involving textiles, clay, beads, or metalwork will bring you fame and acclaim. You're a lot more artistic than you realise. Don't let practical considerations stop you exercising your imagination. Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and take a risk. If you make a mistake, at least you will have had a little fun along the way.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) This is a good time to find a new place to live, you should search for a home in a relatively secluded area. Although you're highly social, you need a private retreat where you can rest and relax. If you don't have the money for a deposit, you can seek financial help from government sources. Alternatively, a generous relative will give you the necessary funds. Don't hesitate to accept help. You've always prided yourself on being self sufficient, but tend to take this policy too far.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Improving your health requires a big change to your routine. Eating nutritious food, taking regular exercise, and getting more sleep are all critical to your wellbeing. It may be difficult to overhaul your ways if you're surrounded by people who encourage your bad habits. Perhaps it's best to separate yourself from the crowd, at least for the short term future. Don't reveal your plans to anyone in the initial stages. Just take this opportunity to focus on your own needs.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're intent on creating security for your family. Put away a little money into a savings, college, or retirement fund. By putting a set percentage of your income aside for a rainy day, you'll be able to provide your loved ones with a nice cushion. Looking for a way to save money? Think about growing your own food. Joining a food cooperative can be economical, too. You might even be able to trade services with a local farmer. The fresher your produce is the better.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Normally, you don't give your opinion quickly, preferring to deliberate over decisions. This time you're anxious to move forward with a project. Fortunately, your instincts are right on target, especially where an ethical matter is concerned. Making a change to a daily procedure will improve the lives of everyone involved. Some traditionalists will wax nostalgic for the old days, but you're smart enough to realise these methods were outmoded and unfair.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You have to spend money to make money. Putting resources into household repairs will make for a good return on your investment. Of course, you should use quality materials. This is no time to be penny wise and pound foolish. A relative who is experiencing financial money could use some help. Put some cash in an envelope and slip through their letterbox. Don't let your loved one know you are behind this generous act or they'll feel obligated.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) It's time to assert your leadership ability. Generally, you don't like throwing your weight around. Now you have a chance to bring a lot of valuable resources to the public. By speaking on their behalf, you'll make life easier for a lot of people who are struggling. This is a great time to initiate a neighbourhood beautification project or launch a free lunch program. The whole community will come together to turn this dream into a reality.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Working in seclusion is soothing. You're tired of being micromanaged. Fortunately, you have a clear idea of what you want and possess the talent to realise this vision. This effort will bring you plenty of fame and acclaim. It's great to be celebrated for your gifts, especially when you've been given so many thankless jobs in the recent past. That is all about to change thanks to this most recent victory. It looks like you're in for a promotion.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Organising a group effort is right up your alley as you love finding ways to stretch limited resources. Besides, it gives you pleasure to plan an event designed to bring so much happiness. If you've got too much on your plate, enlist the aid of a friend with executive leadership ability. Together, you'll be able to blast through obstacles that would normally stop you in your tracks. Don't forget to wish your favourite Lion a very happy birthday.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Taking charge of a troubled organisation gives you a thrill. You are great at bringing together warring parties in a spirit of harmony. If you play your cards right, you'll win a paying position that has plenty of perks. It won't be any trouble getting tickets to shows and tables at restaurants. If there's anything you enjoy, it's being celebrated for your talents. Don't be surprised if you become something of a minor celebrity in your community. Your name will be synonymous with success.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You're able to use your superior knowledge to benefit the whole group. People look to you for answers when they are confused. Most of the time, you are very gentle with your followers, but sometimes, you have to be firm with the stubborn ones. In the end everybody respects your methods. If you're thinking of taking a trip overseas, schedule one now, and be sure to invite your favourite person along. The two of you will have fun exploring an ancient city.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Troubleshooting is your specialty and you love finding solutions to stubborn problems. Your effort won't go unnoticed. A colleague who benefits from your help will return the favour. Be ready to accept their offer of concert tickets or a gift certificate. Turning down this offer will be like rejecting their gratitude. Besides, it's about time somebody rewarded you for all the good deeds you perform on a daily basis! Some people need to learn how to give, and others how to receive. You're in the second category.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're intent on getting your point across, even if you have to do the dance of the seven veils. By interspersing your pitch with lots of humour, you'll eventually win over your audience. Still, there may be one or two stubborn holdouts. The best way to appeal to them is through flattery. By appealing to their vanity, their defences will drop and you'll be able to get unanimous support. This is just one of those many instances when your persistence pays off.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You cut through chores like a hot knife through butter. There's a good chance you'll finish work well ahead of time. Knock off early and head for home. Your nearest and dearest are so anxious to spend more time with you. Prepare an elaborate meal with all of your favourite dishes. Nothing is nicer than enjoying good food with the people you love. Don't be surprised if you feel the knot in your shoulders loosen as a result of this warm interlude.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Romantic sparks are flying between you and a neighbour. You might find yourself passing by this cute number's place several times a day. It is time to stop playing games and get to the point. Invite the object of your affection out for coffee or something stronger. The two of you will feel an instant rapport. If you're already in a relationship, throw a party for your amour and be sure to invite all their friends, even the ones you dislike!
