ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
You could be hit with a range of new situations that require immediate and decisive action. Those who you speak to now not only help you better understand the situation but also provide you with insight that can change your mind about which course of action is best. Listen to all suggestions but be sure that you ultimately do what is best for you, Aries.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
While there are things that will remain mysterious and somehow out of reach for you, the landscape is changing every day. Stay on top of things and listen carefully to your intuition - your gut reactions - and they shouldn’t steer you wrong. Taureans will have a guardian angel who offers some protection but there is nothing like relying on your own careful efforts.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Gather your friends around you this week but do it virtually. Self isolation may be hard for Geminis who are naturally sociable and friendly but it is best. Get creative - Anything that you can do to connect to others will uplift your spirits. The world is changing and the way we interact is changing too. You can find novel ways to expand your social network globally.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
If you are able to work from home, Cancer, do so. For those who still need to work outside the home, find new ways to stay safe and more protected. For those whose careers have been upended, use this time to reassess your options and reach out to mentors and others who can offer advice. You may find solutions where you least expect it.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Although travel is highlighted in your horoscope, Leo, this is not the best time to travel far. But you can still expand your horizons and learn new things. There is a lot to choose from in cyberspace. So take a new class or three, try a new more difficult recipe and generally do things that break from your routine. You can feel free while still in your PJs.
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgos may yearn for physical closeness now. In some cases, this is possible and in other instances it might be best to avoid any contact. See where you can reach out safely and, where there are no options to do that, find ways to self-pamper and feel special. Even a luxurious bubble bath will bring you a renewed sense of hope. Maybe add a glass of wine?
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Most of your relationships - personal and business - are due for a change, Libra. Some partnerships prove strong and durable and bring you in closer. Others could break under pressure and not survive the test of time. This is obviously an experimental period and you have to assess each situation as it comes up. But don’t make drastic decisions. Stay centered.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
The good thing about this period is that if you have been putting off certain projects, you find that this is an opportunity to work on them. Clean out a closet? Fix a chair? Handle a pile of old photos? There is now ample time for all of this. Immerse yourself in the details, Scorpio. It not only brings you a sense of accomplishment, it can also be meditative.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
You may want to party hearty, Sagittarius, but do it within a safe social distance or, even better, virtually. Explore your more creative side and see what you can do to have fun and still be totally protected. Try keeping a diary, hosting a podcast or video or even painting a picture. Anything that mines your artistic juices and keeps you occupied. A star is born!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Shelter in place, Capricorn, and see what you can do improve the comfort of your surroundings. While a renovation might have to be postponed for now, moving some furniture around or rearranging household objects can bring a sense of refreshment. Also try to stay connected with family members. Not only is it a good thing to do, it brightens the lives of others.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
You now have an opportunity to make your opinions known to a much wider audience, Aquarius. And you can do it from the comfort of your own home! Find ways of sending out your thoughts and create a new community of like minded people. Your influence grows and, before you know it, you can become a major opinion leader and influencer.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
In these changing times, it will behoove you to spend some time reviewing your finances, Pisces. Be sure that you have enough money to get what you want when you need it. Also try to prepare for the future weeks where expenses may increase and sources of income constrict. I know you can be practical when you need to be. Like right now.
