ARIES (March 21-April 19)

No one can know all that factors into another person’s behavior. You assume they have their reasons for acting the way they do, and this will take any lingering bad energy off of the situation. The pattern to success is pretty straightforward. Accept what is and find a way to handle it. Rinse and repeat.

 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

There’s an important event on the horizon — something to prepare well for. Imagine it going right, but also think of what might go wrong so you can build contingencies and safety nets. This will have you feeling very confident and calm when it matters. Knowing you’re prepared, you’ll better enjoy yourself.

 

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

Of course no one’s life is perfect — even, and perhaps especially, the airbrushed and edited lives you enjoy for entertainment. But fantasizing has its place. You’ll be informed by your fantasies this week, and you may set new goals based on what inspires you in the media, using entertainment for a higher cause.

 

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

 Some ideas are easier to bring into reality than others — namely the ones that several people have, need or appreciate at once. You’re so original that those kinds of popular ideas may not be the first ones that come to you now. Put your resources behind what matters to you. The others will catch up later.

 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Barbara Streisand hit suggests that “people who need people” are not only lucky; they are the luckiest. It doesn’t feel lucky to need, but it’s the thing that draws them in and keeps them coming back. So as you do what you can to become stronger, embrace your vulnerability, too. It only makes you more loveable.

 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

To excel at pleasing others is a double-edged sword. On the one side, it feels good to get the accolades and whatever remuneration follows. On the other side, now you’re expected to bring the satisfaction to them over and over. They will grow to depend on it. If this were a trap, would it be a pleasant one to you?

 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Thoughts can be as massive and unruly as wild horses. The way to peace lies in creating a spacious environment in your mind where thoughts are allowed to roam free and tire themselves out without interference from you. Not everything has to mean something or be acted upon.

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Think in terms of creation. At first, what you are creating won’t matter as much as the mere fact that you are creating. Being able to put one small thing into the world that wasn’t there before will lead to putting bigger things into the world. Creating will give you faith in what’s possible, and you’ll hone your vision from there.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It’s not going to happen the same way it did in your head. That would be too boring! But it is going to happen, and the reason is because you powered it with your imagination. Your visionary powers are turned up now. Direct them well. Keep projecting a positive outcome for yourself and all those around you.

 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The plan gets confusing. There are too many unknowns at this point. Don’t worry. A good plan is important, but it’s not the most important thing. Get your motives in line and your project will fall in line, too. The magic question this week will be: Why am I really doing this? 

 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your talents are unique; there’s no question about that. Don’t try too hard to fit in, but do give some thought to where you might naturally fit in better. Finding your place will cut out the unnecessary work of trying to mold yourself to an unamenable environment. This week you’ll use your special gifts to serve humanity.

 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The benefit to restraint is that self-control, being the hallmark of maturity, engenders trust. The disadvantage is in the limited emotional reach of entities acting in moderation. While enthusiasm may be unnerving or distasteful to some, it has the power to move people. Choose your tone carefully and accordingly.
