ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

Your communication sure packs a punch, Aries. You have some provocative ideas and opinions that may be amplified and louder than usual. And your projection is so much so that it can have widening and global impact. Wow! Is that what you intended? If so, then go ahead. If not, try to think before you post, tweet or text.

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

Anything that you are planning to accomplish could get a gale force of energy but can also have much greater repercussions and costs, Taurus. You live and love large. You want only the best for your closest companions. But check and see if your dreams fit well in your budget or if your ideas are practical and attainable.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

There is a delicate balance between what you want and what others in certain relationships want. Communication is pivotal so that each side fully understands the other. Even so, you may be tempted to go ahead with plans. Geminis are advised to find ways to compromise rather than command others in their desires.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

Projects that seemed to be on track and controllable can take a bit of a detour, Cancer. Check the directions and reconfirm the goals as you go along. Distractions and rash actions waste time and lead you to an unintended direction. Keep in mind that any detailed job now requires intense concentration. Stay focused.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

Life is fun and frivolous, Leo. Not only are you full of great ideas, you have the ability to get things rolling along rather quickly and seamlessly. Events pick up steam fast. But it may seem that the more you get friends involved in any plans, the more confusing and out of control it can become. Maybe that is your ultimate goal? Whoo hoo!

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

Balance is everything, Virgo. How will you parse your time between competing demands of work and family? Some decisions can be made immediately but I suggest that you delay major moves for a few weeks if possible. There is a changing landscape and lots of movement going on that can make any future decisions easier.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

Concentrate on local issues and projects, Libra. Your ability to bring neighbors together and do good deeds for your community eventually launches you into a more global spotlight. Planning and diplomacy will take you far, as will the ability to listen carefully and not make any drastic, dramatic moves before all the facts are in.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

It might be a good time to review your value system, Scorpio. Recent relationships could have tested your patience or your ability to provide everything that you wanted to do for another person. The time is ripe for a reassessment to be sure that everything you do meshes with what you really want and value. Seek introspection.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

You are you and that is all there is to it, Sagittarius. Don’t let others dictate who you should be or what you should do. Try now, especially in front of new people, to moderate your tone and engage in quiet diplomatic conversation. You can attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. So try to be sugary and win big!

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Surprises are in store for you, Capricorn, especially when it comes to working with certain people or with a particularly detailed project. Try not to rush through anything. Read instructions carefully and be cognizant of any changing landscape. Also don’t overdo or stress out. Success is possible as are new and amazing results. Surprise!

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

Your social calendar fills up and overflows. Be careful of taking on too much and not being able to complete anything tangible, Aquarius, as you suddenly become number one on everyone’s invite list.  There are so many delightful options that it may be hard to choose. But choose you must. Or at least, try to prioritize.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

Changes within your home that you might have been planning for a while like a renovation or a move can suddenly feel like they are speeding up and getting a little out of control. Your extra energy and focus can go astray. As long as you know this, Pisces, it will be easier to maneuver and less likely to be stress producing.
