ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Patience doesn’t let you know how patient it’s being. Love is the same. If someone is trying to show you patience while putting emotional pressure on you or rushing you along, this is a lie in action. Similarly, you’ll be able to feel love. If you can’t feel it, the one saying “I love you” isn’t doing it right. 

 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’ll connect with that person who is particularly adept at eliciting strong emotions from you. What’s stirred up will be mostly positive, though, so don’t let the intensity-factor scare you. You’re ready for the big feelings — and why shouldn’t you be lavished in love? You can handle this! 

 

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

The more you support and love your people, the more indispensable you become. But you want them to take care of themselves, too! This week, help them help themselves. It might be hard for you to back off and let them handle their own care, but it just might be the most generous thing you can do.  

 

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

 There’s no reason to invite or invent trouble. If there’s not enough evidence to support the premise that there’s a problem, go on worry-free. Build a case for happiness. It will be there because you put it there. Don’t expect to land in your happiness. It won’t exist until you create it. Create and be happy. 

 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You don’t depend on others for support. It’s nice when you get it, but it’s not necessary. You’ll still make it your job to improve a little with each day, with or without praise and encouragement. This is a private journey. The ego-less way you approach self-development makes the whole process better. 

 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t underrate the value of smiling. This is the facial posture that will change the way you feel about life. You’ll think more creatively and love more readily. That person who makes you smile and laugh is someone to keep close. Whatever you do to honor and delight this person will double back on you.

 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) 

It’s difficult to act in service of the greater good when you can’t count on everyone to do the same. But this is precisely when you most need to keep your cool. The success of the relationship depends on your ability to stay even-tempered, fair-handed and focused on what’s best for all. 

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

 It’s lovely when the external environs support the way we want to feel, but it’s not something we can count on. Ultimately, we can’t control all conditions, but we can take responsibility for reacting to them. We can cultivate the mood we want to live inside. You’re getting better and better at achieving this.  

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Mirrors can only reflect what you show them. The very best mirrors of the week will be your loved ones. The way they interact with you is no accident. There’s something very specific you will do to trigger their response. You’re becoming more and more masterful at creating the dynamic you want.

 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Everyone has insecurities. Admitting yours will help you move past them. It’s good to say them out loud — air your fears in a public setting, even if it’s on a message board, anonymously. It’s not your flaw that’s getting you down, but what you think others are thinking about you. This can be overcome. Be brave.

 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re trying your best. You might be surprised at what they still need from you. It could all seem like a bit much, and you’re probably right. A boundary must be laid. Just remember that good communication usually starts with something positive and moves 

 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re so intelligent and creative that you can often make sense of whatever nonsense you land in. But sometimes things just are what they are. Release the need to justify and explain all that’s going on, and suddenly it all gets a whole lot funnier. Laughter is a healing balm.
