ARIES
— 21
March - 20 April Acting on impulse can bring random results. The game can begin to play you. Be wary of exaggeration. Flights of fancy are a means, not an end. You needn’t accept every invitation: pick your engagements and carve out down time. Ask what you can do to make a difference, place yourself in service to someone or something. And keep your wallet in you pocket. |
|
TAURUS
— 21
April - 20 May Many opportunities to behave badly. There’s nothing like breathing deeply and counting to ten. You continue to wrestle with ego, refuse to cut it any slack. In order to accomplish anything, your ducks must be under control. Talk’s cheap; if you deserve more, prove it. Then wait for someone else to notice. It’s your movie, don’t let some other moron direct it. |
 |
GEMINI
— 21
May - 20 June Activity increases, pretty people drift through, horizons raise. Dance with life, but don’t spin too fast. Check your synapses for wrong ideas, listen at least as much as you talk, keep one foot on the ground. Expect dealings to smooth out and progress to be made. Laugh at disruptions and keep the faith. Every action either increases options or diminishes them. |
 |
CANCER
— 21
June - 22 July Not the time to throw caution to the winds. Take time to ponder ego and its shattering effects on reality. You’re feeling full of yourself and a little lusty. No fault, no error, no blame. It all boils down to attitude and intent. Keep your sights high and your expectations reasonable. Save some energy for reorganizing. It’s a long game, play your cards well. |
 |
LEO
— 23
July - 22 August There are fires that warm and fires that burn. Exercise benevolence and compassion. Keep your own ego on a leash and ignore the barking of others. Keep your wits about you, give trust and support to those who return it. Do your best not to disappoint yourself, deliver what you promise, be someone you respect. Explore the many faces of love and loyalty. |
 |
VIRGO
— 23
August - 22 September It’s not good when you become unrealistic. Or when you listen to others who are. Avoid getting wrapped up in dramas not your own. Nothing is furthered by feeling neglected or misunderstood. Engage life, be where you are when you’re there, let someone else hold the reins. Give help when it’s needed, refine your methods, don’t believe everything you hear. |
 |
LIBRA
— 23
September - 22 October You want freedom. Give thought to what it means. Consider also the difference between excitement and pleasure. And the line between rights and privilege. Let the world know where you stand, dance your dance, sing your song. Fall in love, display flair and confidence. Purge yourself of wrongheaded ideas, engage no troubles but your own, seek harmony. |
 |
SCORPIO
— 23
October - 22 November Be ready and willing to change course. Be reluctant to throw security away. Be of good cheer but refuse to be walked on. A scene is ending; let it go and make room for beginnings. Be wary of self-delusion, filter dreams through reality. Whatever happens happens at just the right moment. Forcing matters achieves nothing. Neither does thinking you’re acting alone. |
|
SAGITTARIUS
— 23
November - 21 December The world’s not always what it seems and everyone it it’s not always your friend. Calibrate your crap detector and hone your communication skills. Avoid rushing into anything, use your head. No error in asking for help; the error lies in not asking when you need it. People look to you for inspiration. Disappoint them and you disappoint yourself. |
 |
CAPRICORN
— 22
December - 19 January Not the time for sudden movements or quick results. Take inventory of your life and get rid of what doesn’t work. It’s the time called ‘preparing the vessel’. Embrace the material world and align it with your goals. There are no accidents, just unforeseen events. Overlook nothing, be prepared to wait. It’s a long game and you only win if you play smart. |
 |
AQUARIUS
— 20
January - 18 February Your head’s in danger of getting too big for your hat. It’s crucial not to believe your press releases. Expand your sphere and take the lead, keep your ego muzzled. Forget to think of others and you dynamite your own bridges. Avoid indulging your genius for manic behavior. You’ll just frighten the horses. Advance slowly in the right direction, be able to change your mind. |
 |
PISCES
— 19 February - 20 March The world’s not filled with problems, it’s filled with challenges. Be careful what you whistle for and avoid dwelling on worst case scenarios. Be confident, be calm, ask for help when you need it. Embrace your enemies, seek understanding and common cause. Curse the darkness, then light a candle. The root of all virtue is compassion, the root of all evil is not caring. |
