Expect a whirlwind of social activities, Aries. Your calendar fills up and your ability to decide which events to attend will be tested.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

Leos need to find the happy combination of balancing one’s own independence and the co-dependence needed for relationships. Where do you draw the line? How much do you want to compromise? I suggest that you give such consideration more time. Anything that you decide to do now might have dramatic effects.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

Friends can lead you to new discoveries and directions, Libra. That, in turn, can lead you to new interests and romances. Let yourself be carried on the inspiration and delight of it all. This can be a time of great unanticipated change if you let it. Sometimes change is scary but oftentimes change comes when you most need it.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

Your actions can lead to entirely new and unanticipated life directions, Scorpio. It may anticipate a change of residence or some other change in your domestic life.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

Whatever you may think about certain global events, elections and hotbed issues your opinion may modify or even change as you receive more information or you may become even more certain of your current views. Wherever you get your information, find ways to test the theories and see if they are true to you, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Deep psychological matters come to the fore and make themselves known to you, Capricorn. It can be love, taxes or another sensitive subject that can impact the way your view your future. Focus on the effect it can have on finances or in deeply held values. A refreshing new look at long held beliefs can be liberating.

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

Certain relationships have you wondering where the boundaries are, Aquarius. Find more ways to define yourself without any comparisons to others. You are an independent soul who can soar to the highest heights without worrying what others think. At the same time, no one is an island so find connection on your own terms.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

As you improve your health regime, be sure that you understand your limits, Pisces. There may be things that you do not yet see that can change your direction or priorities. You have enthusiasm and grit and can attain any goal you desire. But slow and steady wins the race. Energies should be tempered by common sense.
