ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
A light flirtation can accelerate into something big and beautiful. But a more cautious approach may be the better action now, Aries. You may have a tendency to allow the moment to overtake you in a beautiful romantic fog. Give all encounters time to process and evolve. If it is tried and true, it will be there for you next month.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Close family interactions take on a more emotional component, Taurus. Enjoy the good vibes and allow any negativity time to evaporate into the air. Try to create an island of calm in your surroundings at home with more mellowness and less stress. There may be times when your patience is tested but take a breath and chill.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
If you find there are times when your communication feels a bit more emotional and heartfelt, embrace the warmth and use it to your advantage. But avoid the tendency to say that one more thing that could disrupt the conversation. Geminis are compelling without a hard edge. Use that talent to negotiate to your advantage.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Your love of luxuries, however small and affordable, may cause you to overspend based on emotions alone. Resist the temptation, Cancer. This is a time of increased spending on items that, in the long term, do little for you. In fact, find ways to save money and pace yourself to an ever better treat down the road.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Emotions may run high in any long term planning with others, Leo. That means that no matter how much you may want to make a scene, the better action is to let things play out a little longer to deprive your opponent of air. You find that others tend to undo themselves without your participation. Relish the outcomes …
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
You feel especially intuitive, Virgo. So much so that it may consume more of your attention and thought processes. But some of these signals are more emotionally conjured and, perhaps, overblown. Think your thoughts but understand that whatever is swirling in the background may not pan out to anything important.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Your participation in large group efforts has a bit more stress than usual, Libra. Prioritize what you need to do, what you want to do and what will ultimately give you the most pleasure. Avoid wasting energies on unnecessary interactions for now. Surround yourself with friends who know you well and support you totally.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Interactions at work, especially with bosses have a tendency to get a bit too emotional for the situation. Calm down, Scorpio, and allow situations to develop and evolve. You can get much more done and get more of your asks if you find the opportunity to pull back and fully assess the interaction. See things from all sides.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Although you may feel like you are sitting in one big rut, Sagittarius, sometimes the tried and true are exactly what you need. Your stress has been higher than usual and any way to sit back and relax without any emotionally charge will be greatly beneficial for you. There’s time to charge ahead and explore new terrain soon.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Your heart is big and ready to express itself, Capricorn. That is great! But timing is pivotal in any big love experience. You may come off a bit over-emotional and possessive. Maybe you are but maybe you understand the need for another to have a bit of space. Why not show how cool you are and how flexible you can be?
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
One-to-one relationships of all types are poised to become more emotional and complicated, Aquarius. But it doesn’t have to become all consuming. Try various ways to lower the temperature and just enjoy everyone’s company without a lot of stressful discussion. Put off any discord and find mutual commonalities.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Find ways to mellow out, Pisces, and prioritize all of the small detailed tasks and jobs that are piling up and surrounding you. Understand that you cannot accomplish everything at once, nor should you want to. You are much better prepared to accomplish once you review the options. So give yourself a deserved break.
