ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Aries are usually bold communicators. Now, the amount of your communication remains the same but the feeling behind it may morph to the circumstances. When gentleness is needed, you will be gentle. When brash is required, you will be commanding. Check out the landscape and see what is needed at the time. You have everyone’s ears. Speak so they really hear it.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
If you can afford to help someone out monetarily, this may be the best time to do it. But for those Taureans who are struggling financially (like many of us) there are some ways to ease the strain. You have sharp attention to locate organizations or people who can help. Do your research, reach out virtually to advisors and think financially creative. You can succeed.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
As much as you may want to pull back and hibernate for a little while, your mind remains active, imaginative and fertile with great ideas. Find ways to get your best ideas out. Help, do outreach and enhance existence, Gemini. There are many virtual forums, blogs, podcasts and sites that might welcome your personal philosophies now. Or maybe start your own...?
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Cancers now find themselves more behind-the-scenes volunteers striving to do what they can to help out. Make your messages count by finding ways of connecting others to charitable causes. Maybe this is a good time to put some long deferred good deeds into action. Anything that helps communities will have extra oomph. Do good while doing well.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Leos may be getting a little stir crazy in their caves. But you can still socialize without leaving home. Do a cyber search for new groups who share your interests. Reach out to friends from close by to around the world virtually. Hangout, Twitch, Slack, Zoom or just phone call. It doesn’t matter how you do it. The most important thing is that you just do it.
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
If you are working from home, you may find that you are spending ore time thinking about what you need to do rather than doing it - and that is okay. Strategizing a plan of action saves time and effort. For those essential Virgos who need to venture out, take the usual strict precautions but also think about how you can work even more safely. You may close some holes.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
You yearn to break out of your routine and expand your horizons. But how can you best do that while sheltering in place, Libra? Think about what you would like to do in normal times and do some internet searches. You will find new and creative ways to find new experiences and enjoyments that will spice up your life. It is all just a click away.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Even if you don’t feel particularly sexy now, you can find ways to make yourself feel a bit more confident and attractive. There are many ways to totally relax and spoil yourself, Scorpio. Take a long luxurious bath or have a glass of wine (or a non-alcoholic beverage) or sun bath through the window. When you chill out, you feed both your inner and outer beauty. Wow!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Relationships may seem faraway or strained but they don’t have to be, Sagittarius. Think about ways to virtually reach out and reconnect. Communication is especially important now and your mind is full of great ideas. Try a new approach, try to really hear what the other person is saying. For those sheltering with someone else, find balance between together and alone time.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Focus on your general health now, Capricorn. Some ways to improve your stamina are by sleeping more and working towards a more balanced diet,. Exercise in some form will have greater than usual benefits. And you can spoil yourself a little too. Afternoon ice cream breaks soothe the soul but an entire gallon every day might be a tad too much.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Break out of your doldrums, Aquarius. Your mind is bursting with creative ideas. There are things you can do to break the boredom and ignite fun. You manage to find inspiration in even everyday routines. So bake, dance around the house, paint a masterpiece, write a play or even act up a storm. Who knows? Maybe a new internet star is born...
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Gather your family together and start to build your family tree, Pisces. There is no better time to get into a project of this magnitude and value. You can reach out and get some interesting history, stories and background for your research. Things may come into clarity and perspective. Communication is the driver and you will hold the keys to the answers.
