ARIES (March 21-April 19)
The early stage of a relationship is steeped in projection and fantasy. You imagine who the other person is, and they do the same with you. The ideas here are usually based in wishes and fears. Reality corrects the fallacies and educates willing pupils as to everyone’s true essence, and expectations can be set accordingly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
If the efforts are strong but the plan is weak, the results will fail. If the efforts are weak but the plan is strong, there won’t be much result to speak of. You’ll be the pro who checks things from many angles. Knowing what you don’t know and being humble enough to ask is half the battle. You’ll gather opinions, insights and observations, and get it right.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Gather more influences. It’s good to have a few inspirational examples to model your work after. Twelve examples will make you more of an expert, with a body of research to show for it. Twenty examples give you a sophisticated eye. And when you have 50 examples, you’ll earn the discerning perspective of a professional.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
You are sensitive to the subtleties of human bonding. You know what emotional and spiritual connection feels like. You can tell when it’s strong and when it’s barely there at all, and most of all, you can sense when it’s broken. You’ll give yourself over to its healing this week, which is a process that takes tenderness and time. It can’t be rushed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
From where you stand, you can see the tools and resources afforded to others, but it’s unnecessary to turn an envious gaze that direction. You have everything you need. If you had more, it would only complicate things and steal from the wonderfully unique work you’re doing. Rest assured, you can achieve greatly using nothing more than what you already have.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This week, the education you seek will be particularly relevant to the action, and it will all seem to click in at once. Said the great acting teacher Uta Hagen: “The knowledge that every day there is something more to learn, something higher to reach for, something new to make for others, makes each day infinitely precious. And I am grateful.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
In the movies, courage is tested in the face of obvious danger. Real life features tests of courage that come pretty much on the daily in the form of extending oneself socially, pitching and presenting work, taking a chance by sharing real feelings and truths, and putting your heart on the line. The uncertainties of life will bend to your bravery.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
You’ll let go of the need to impress someone or manage how they think of you. You’ll move forward with the intent to be fully yourself and experience the moment as only you can. And though you do not aim to change anyone’s mind or opinion, your pleasure and joy in simply being alive has more impact than you might expect.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You approach your work with two distinct parts of yourself. One is like a film director with a big vision for the scenes of your life. The other is an emotional and impulsive actor who won’t learn the lines and keeps playing it loose and wild. The tension between these two aspects of your personality makes your life a work of art.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Emotional communication is tricky, as we are each wired a little differently in this regard. What one person thinks is a reasonable interaction can be a confusing code to someone else. Feel your way through. Listen with your whole self, not just to the words spoken but to the needs that ring through, and echo in their surrounding silence.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The positive energy propelling your relationships will culminate in arrangements that really serve you well. The universe is conspiring to make the financial aspects of a deal much easier for you. So, when people offer to pay you, treat you or handle the bill, all you have to do is let them. This will happen more than once this week.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
It only takes seven riffles to completely shuffle a deck of cards, but cutting the deck even once is enough to wholly alter the game. Relatedly, whether it seems like it or not, your impact is real this week. You’ll make your moves and, in the best way possible, because of those choices, nothing will be the same.
