ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Since you are with yourself 24/7, your relationship with yourself is the most important and the trickiest to keep healthy. You don’t always like yourself as much as you think you should, but these fluctuations are totally normal. Roll with the little shifts in self-esteem, and give yourself as much leeway as you can. You’ll soon be back in step with yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
In days of old, when there were far fewer shoes on the planet, it was said that if one was found to fit, one should wear it. In modern times, there are so many shoes that fit, it would be impossible to wear them all. You can afford to be choosy in multiple ways this week, and you’ll explore options for comfort, function, style and versatility.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
There is one word that will make your life so much easier this week, and that word is “no.” It’s not a matter of if or when to say “no” this week so much as (SET ITAL) how. (END ITAL) This is where your charm will shine through. There are actually ways to say “no” that will make the other person feel better than if you had said “yes.”
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Are they thinking about you too? Asking would be too awkward, and even if you did, how would you know they were telling the truth? Since we cannot know what it’s like inside the mind of another person, it is an absolute thrill to get the evidence that would suggest a certain line of thinking. Such evidence will be the highlight of your week.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
It’s easy to be nice to pleasant people. The real peacekeepers are nice to the unpleasant too. For progress to be made toward the harmony of the world, someone must go beyond the call. You’ll appoint yourself to the order, then approach it like a spiritual practice so the action will be its own reward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You like people. Because of this, you care about cultivating a positive social atmosphere. You smile whether or not you are particularly happy, and in doing so, you feel happier and so will others. Being cheerful is your standard, your habit, your default. You’ll lift the vibes wherever you go this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You’re back to wondering if someone is good for you. The answer might be different every time you ask the question, because your needs and expectations are always changing. Also “good for you” doesn’t always feel fun in the moment. This week you will be reminded how some relationships are like candy, others are like a vegetable platter.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Before you enter groups, take a moment to consider their purpose and spirit, as well as your intent within them. You’ll learn in gatherings of all kinds, especially noncompetitive ones, where people don’t have to feel a pressure to bring their best. Rather, they are welcome to float half-formed ideas to the crew to play around with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’re a person who shows up in the moments that matter most. You want to be there as a witness to love, grief, great wins and losses too. Whatever the occasion, know that your presence is enough. Don’t feel like you have to have the big gestures or the right words. Just being there and sharing the experience will be the best gift.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You associate certain people with certain moods. There are some who popped to mind when you’re in the mood for a thoughtful conversation, and others who come up when you need comfort. Then there are those who are always up for a good time and those who seem never to be at a loss for excellent information. So when do other people think of you?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Because of the natural coming and going of social life, you do not have the same exact set of friends as you had 10 years ago. Something about this will be relevant to the action this week, and you’ll be celebrating and utilizing various ties. One strong influence will alter the plot.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
There are forms of communication that allow for undoing. On certain platforms it’s possible to “unsend” a message without detection. On others, the recipient of such a message is alerted as to the omission. And there’s real life. Nothing can be unsent, unsaid or undone, merely amended. This week shows you making thoughtful, careful choices.
