ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Being a fan means you like something or someone. Being a superfan means your affinity runs deeper, and so you’re willing to see the team or person through inevitable changes. That’s how you feel about your team or person this week. You’ll hang tight through wins and losses. You’ll believe the best.

 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Perhaps you’ll never completely stop caring what people think about you, but you’ll balance that mental emphasis with the things that are so important to you to accomplish that you’re willing to do what it takes, regardless of how that might make you look in the eyes of others. 

 

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

A good life is not a life without problems. You need those to develop your skills, to keep things interesting, to learn who you are. If you didn’t have problems, you’d be bored and purposeless. It’s really a matter of having quality problems — problems that help you develop in the ways that most interest and excite you.

 

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

You’ll listen and read, but that’s not the same as learning. If you act on new information right away and make it a part of your life, it will become part of your memories, too. Eventually, it’ll get bonded to your behavior and being. If you don’t act on it, it was either irrelevant to begin with or will soon be.

 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

One way to get through fear is to decide that there’s something else much more important at stake. That sense of purpose will pull you through. Sometimes, it’s not obvious. Sometimes, the more important thing is your sense of who you are and upholding the character standards that go along with that.

 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Life can be cumbersome indeed. Then again, it never stopped the elephant family from roaming the earth like kings for 25 million years or so. Whatever is weighing on you, if you can’t seem to shed the heaviness, consider using it as might. It gives you greater leverage, power and significance.

 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

There’s no perfect amount of socializing that fits every individual. There’s a range of socializing that works well with your comfort level and need for human connection. Even that range will stretch and contract with different seasons of life. You’ll find ways of honoring your own needs and a partner’s simultaneously.

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

The big issues are not under your jurisdiction, and there’s definitely a bright side to that. You’re not responsible for how it is, and yet you’re in the perfect position to make a positive difference. You’ll focus yourself in such a way to create good in the world.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Attitudes spread, especially yours because you’re influential in the lives of people you know. You’ll inspire subtly with your manner of being and what you choose to focus on. It will keep you on your toes knowing that people are watching you for cues even when they don’t appear to be.

 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Before the advent of Instagram, rock star Neil Peart suggested: “A tired mind becomes a shape-shifter. Everybody needs a soft filter.” Such filters come in many forms. Recognizing the need to give yourself and others a break from mental and emotional demands, you’ll apply gentle comforts to positive effect.

 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Building your portfolio isn’t something just to be done in a professional context. Prepare for the day you will need to show what you can do. Think of the role you want and create some proof that you have, are, or can do what it takes to fulfill that role.

 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

People are always making and projecting their conclusions about how they think the world works. In children — and those who don’t have a strong instinct for image management — internal thought processes can be easy to see. You’ll deal with trickier types this week. There’s much to gain from learning people.
