ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You gave up what you no longer needed or wanted, leaving room for something new to drop in. Here comes the drop in the form of an interesting connection. It won’t take long for this to turn your life in unexpected directions. You’ll discover capacities you didn’t know you had.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’ll find yourself on a fact-finding mission. As you gather information this week, do consider the source. Some professions require pessimism from their practitioners. Lawyers, doctors, police officers and more must anticipate what could go wrong in order to do their job well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

When you already own a thing, it’s silly to try to figure out what’s wrong with it. Why look for problems? But when you are still considering a purchase, it makes good sense to kick the tires, slam the doors, test the waters and poke around to see where the holes are. Anything broken will reveal itself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

You may not be able to actually go on the adventure you’d love to launch right now, but the world of imagination and media will provide much-needed escape from routine pressures. Why should this be a guilty pleasure? Let it be just a pleasure and leave needless emotions out of it — no apologies!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Even in the case of very principled people, loyalty can trump agreement. Therefore, a person who is always on your side may not always think you’re right. Such ideas swirl around this week’s themes. The bottom line: People make mistakes, but you’d rather stand by them if you can find a way to ethically do it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

There will be a few black holes to navigate around this week. These dangers come in the form of people, ideas or situations too dangerous to approach, lest you get sucked in. Stay on the well-worn path. Follow trusted guides. Your power is substantial enough; you need no other source.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

You could burn the bridge behind you and there would still be ways to get back — swim, build a boat, hitch a ride on a plane — all uncertain and time consuming. When you think about it, it’s smarter to be nice to the bridge. This may be a lot for your ego to take. Get away from the situation to let feelings mellow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Self-control may seem to be a finite and therefore exhaustible resource. You’ll have more of it than you did on other days. Still, you can’t expect yourself to resist temptation forever. Make adjustments to your environment so you won’t need as much willpower to fulfill your expectations of yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You show up to life, and you try to surround yourself with people who do the same. It’s a baseline of expected behavior by which the world runs. Even so, don’t take a change of plan personally. It may seem inconvenient in the moment, but the switch-up will be for the better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

There are many ways to think of the situation; it can work beautifully in a number of different iterations. So, when plans change, it’s nothing to worry about. This week presents opportunities to tell yourself it’s all going to be fine — and probably even better than if it had happened in the original way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your dreams are neither unrealistic nor selfish; they are right for you. Your biggest obstacle is a lack of faith. Could you decide to be naive? Stop overthinking and move with your instincts. Without the extra baggage caused by doubt and worry, you will float with improbable speed toward the fulfillment of a fantasy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

What’s readily available will be perceived as less valuable — a complexity of human nature that you can use to your advantage now. You will be the commodity that is less available, more mysterious and therefore an irresistible draw. People will compete for your attention and pay top dollar for what you sell.
