Sensible is the way to describe you now, Cancer. You have a wealth of knowledge and are prepared to share your thoughts and opinions with everyone.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

If you have been feeling more stressed than usual, this is an excellent time to find relaxing outlets that increase your wellness and life balance. Meditation or yoga can bring you into a new healthy head space while gentle exercises can help in strengthening your core. Plan it out. Practical steps get you where you want to be, Libra.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

Large social groups give you more comfort and security, Scorpio. There will be times when your need for connection impacts your goals or opinions. So try to seek those whose interests align with yours and join clubs or organizations that get you out into the greater world. Expand your group of friends and see where it leads.  

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

Long terms plans can be reassessed to make sure they are attainable and still on target. Whatever you think you need to do, especially in your career, should be examined to make sure you are on the right path. But also allow yourself some flexibility, Sagittarius. You never know what can happen along the road to a cushy retirement.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Get out and see the world, Capricorn. Expand your knowledge base and allow yourself the opportunity to explore parts unknown. The most important thing is to get out of your current mindset and find ways to spice up your imagination and outlook. And you don’t have to do all of this activity alone. I think the more the merrier.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

Aquarians are feeling a bit feistier than usual and why not? You are a wonder and very attractive to others. Find ways to explore and express your deep feelings and bring certain people into your personal orbit. It will be an intense time. You have the ability to attract anyone you want. But it is a good idea to be a bit choosy.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

Finding common ground with others will take on an added importance, Pisces. Use this time to strengthen certain relationships and bridge any gaps that might have occurred over the past few months. You can also seek new partnerships in both business and personal pursuits. Build a bridge for future success.
