ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

As you set off in new directions, allow yourself some time to survey the landscape and it take all in. In fact, Aries, maybe even consider stepping back and taking a rest. There are people to see and new personal projects to launch but some need some time to settle. You don’t need to rush. Just be your calm beautiful self.

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

There is so much going on behind the scenes that it may be difficult to ascertain what is really happening. Others’ advice to you may not be accurate. So if you find yourself trying to predict the future, give yourself a break and wait for the fog to clear. In fact, Taurus, you have plenty of time to make the right decision.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

There may be some miscommunication among friends, Gemini. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t get together with pals and have a great time. What is means is that dates, times and meeting places should be confirmed and re-confirmed so that no one misses an opportunity to meet and greet. Synchronize and party!

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

There may be some twists and turns in your career Cancer. Promises made may still be waiting to be kept. Directions may shift in unexpected ways. But try not to react or press the point with the bosses now. Know that things are still in process and may take a bit longer than you expect or want. Patience wins out the day.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

If you are planning to travel, be sure to check all of the details out before you depart, leave plenty of time to catch planes and trains and expect a few snafus along the way. Think of all of this as adding to the adventure and will provide you with fun stories in the future. In the meantime, your check list is your vital friend, Leo.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

If you feel a surge of passionate feelings, wait before you express them to another person, Virgo. You feel deeply but need time to craft your message accurately. Use this time to explore your inner emotions and why you react the way you do. Keep ideas to yourself until you fully understand the landscape of love.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

You may find that while you strive for balance and harmony, your communication may not be as understandable as you first think. Try to listen more to others, Libra, and more fully understand their point of view. Then anything you propose will more easily be accepted and adopted. Think and then rethink your argument.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

Whatever you decide to do to improve your health regime or job may be subject to change as you go along, Scorpio. This is a good time to do careful research and gather all the facts but also to understand that things are subject to change. Start the process, attend to the details and expect some surprises along the way.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

Fun has its complications now, Sagittarius. Whatever you are planning may be subject to change. Invitations could get lost and dates confused. Allow yourself some latitude as you plan your festivities and your more creative side to be much more flexible and open. You may even enjoy the unexpectedness of life!

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Anything that you are planning to do around the house may take more time than expected or cost more than you think, Capricorn. This can include home updates or family get-togethers. This may feel frustrating at first but it will enable you to avoid pitfalls as you progress over the next few weeks. All is revealed eventually.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

While you are usually very good at ascertaining the motivations of others, you may need to step back and listen more carefully, Aquarius. It may be that you are not hearing what they are saying or missing their meaning. You have plenty of time to share your views and opinions to their change minds. For now, chill out.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

You can find yourself spending more based on emotions that practical facts, Pisces. Please don’t allow your heart to rule your wallet. Things are still evolving and what you feel you need today may not be what you want tomorrow. There are also those who want more from you than they deserve. Be caring but also skeptical.
