ARIES (March 21-April 19)
The week features multigenerational interactions. Though it is old-school to be sure, in some sense it is an honor to be called endearing nicknames by strangers, such as “sugar” or “honey,” especially because it implies that interacting with you is sweet indeed. When you’re the older one, things get a bit trickier, but you’ll manage it well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
From the outside, it looks like a result can be achieved through certain actions — which is technically true, but the actual experience cannot be described by the blueprint. There is just no way for the uninitiated to know. This is why you sign up to do your own living. No advice could possibly teach you what you will soon learn from doing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
When you can’t put your hands on something you just held a minute ago… now, that’s a strange feeling, and one of your least favorite. It proves how fast you are going through this life and how many small treasures you touch during the day. What gets lost in the blur is a reminder of how very lucky we are to have enough and more.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
How do you capture the essence of a person? Is it the phrase they say most often? Is it the topics they choose for conversation? It couldn’t be something as simple as their preferences or their line of work, could it? Anyway, it’s an ongoing investigation for you this week as you try to get to know someone new.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
The thing you’ve waited for will finally come. That’s when you understand the place that waiting has in your days. Anticipation is not a void; rather, it’s a taut stretch of life, trampolinelike, that bounces the spirit. So as soon as one thing is off your plate, put a new event on the books to look forward to, then wait for it, wait for it…
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Without downtime, there is no uptime. However, you tried to convince yourself that the rest is unnecessary, but it just isn’t the case. Better to give yourself the break, because if you wait for life to give it to you, you will be far less in control of the form it takes. This is all part of taking excellent care of yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Someone will leave the proverbial door open just a crack, and that is all you need to gain access to a new world. Do you dare step into it? Go first with your imagination. Ask it to fill in the blanks. Your projections will help you prepare your opening moves, and they’ll also be fun to reflect back on later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
You can do a task 100 times and still find something novel at the 101 mark. You are open-minded and filled with a hope that doesn’t always make sense — nor does it need to. The little fears along the way are normal. They teach you about your preferences and what it takes to feel safe in a situation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’ll lead with love. Problems will either be solved, or they will be revealed as opportunities to work and learn together. Everything you’re doing to make things better is a step in the right direction. Have patience with the timing of the world, which doesn’t always match our own, but will nonetheless prevail, so we may as well relax into it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You find contentment in the unfinished. Even if you can’t put your finger on exactly what’s missing, you welcome the mystery. There is no urgency to solve life, and in fact, things are more beautiful when you dance with the questions. There’s quiet joy in the silence of not knowing what’s next.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Not all feelings come with reasons. Feel them anyway. The rationale is less important than it would seem. Also featured this week is a line-up of people who each bring out a different side of you, and in so doing, teach you something about yourself. But nothing will be quite as surprising as what you learn in a moment of solitude.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You want different things than you used to want. Either you got your way and had enough of it to satisfy you, or you didn’t get your way and found out that life goes on, often bringing superior delights to the ones you imagined would bring you happiness. This week sees you ready to articulate new dreams to the supportive people around you.
