ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
The urge is to tackle everything and everything with verve and dispatch this week. Aries think that they are especially efficient but it is a mirage. Everything that you think you have completed will come back to bite you later because of loose ends, cursory reviews and too little follow-up. Bide your time and tell the powers-that-be that you are on a conference call.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Who will be responsible for letting Taurean bulls loose on the party scene? You will not know when enough is enough when fun is taken to the extreme. Mayhem ensues and you can become grist for the gossip mill. A gurgling romance dares you to take the plunge. So go and see who you can impress. Just don’t stay at home and impress the sofa.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Electricity around the house may cause surprising problems now. Check for overloaded outlets and frayed wires. But all of this domestic investigation shouldn’t dampen your exuberance for over the top home entertaining. In fact, right now you can be exceedingly entertaining, Gemini. Ha cha cha! But save that lampshade hat routine for the dim bulbs....
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Connection is the pivotal word this week. What is it about Cancers that require a big discussion on every little thing now. Too much talk results in unanticipated reactions. Can you hold it in for a few days and refine your message? There is no dissuading you. Since you can’t move a big boat on wind alone, might as well turn up the motor mouth and hold on tight.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Leos feel pretty darn rosy about their financial prospects. I am not sure why. You gleefully count your winnings but manage to ignore your mounting losses. Tsk tsk. Be practical, weigh the risks, do your homework and carefully plot and plan for a sturdy future. Then you will feel ready to run with the bulls and the bears. Don’t relegate your finances to the sideshow.
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
You are never one to completely fade into the background but now not only do you outshine all competitors, you practically cast a floodlight. Leave it to the planets to make a staid Virgo a true iconoclast. Revel in your uniqueness while you command attention but don’t become a caricature. Self possessed moderation will have them eating out of your hand. Yuk.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
There are those who would love to see you trip and fall so they can walk all over you. Don’t tempt them. Libras are apt to act on their loosey goosy gut feelings. Wait and see how events unfold before you jump to conclusions. On the other hand, you could catch a few lucky breaks as their secrets are exposed and demons revealed. Do a little exposing and revealing yourself....
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Park yourself in the middle of any group and you will surely find someone who gets you into wild mischief. Scorpios are on a rampage where every action can have an equally dramatic reaction. But there can be a happy ending after all; By the end of this short but intense period, you will know the difference between conscript and co-conspirator.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Taking a professional risk may be too risky this week. Sagittarians are chomping at the bit for advancement, recognition and the big bucks that go with a corner office. Hold off for a couple of weeks. Not only are your eyes too big for your ambitions but you may rub a powerbroker the wrong way. Heat your oil and pour it on once you have mastered the stove.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Your reach has no boundaries this week. This is the time to spread your influence and see how charged up you can get the troops. But filter your message through a good editor before you blast it out to the masses. In the heat of the moment you may slip out an unintended remark that pops your world view. Are you ready for primetime or fringe, Capricorn?
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
How short is your fuse this week? Aquarians seek a love connection but their ardor is more spark than slow burn. You may tire easily or lose interest once the bait is taken. Or you may race off to rescue yet another lost cause. Rather than waste energy and effort just relax, sit back and let the adoring masses come to you. Still waiting... still waiting...
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Whether you are part of a pair or ache to be paired, this is a good time to take a break from any deeply intensive relationship issue. Pisces want results NOW! And they are prepared to jump into a quest for a solution with vim and vigor. But things need time to settle and solidify. Wishing and pushing doesn’t make it so. Whining and pleading may however ....
