ARIES (March 21-April 19)

In the battle to self-betterment, there is no end to the world’s advice about what you should do. What if the answer isn’t to do anything? What can you accept? What can you welcome? What can you allow? Embrace the whole of you and become mighty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Patience is a type of endurance. Many find the waiting difficult because it feels passive. But is it really? If patience were an exercise, it would be akin to the plank — more difficult as the seconds tick, engaging every faculty at once and eventually delivering results in every area. Breathe through it, and keep going.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

Beware the person who wants your validation more than your truth — in other words, every person. This week challenges you to be thoughtful in your responses and diplomatic in the social dance. You can’t go wrong answering the needs of people. With loving observation, you’ll realize what those needs are.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

What worked before might work again sometime in the future, but the fact is that it’s not working now. Staying current has everything to do with accepting what’s creating impact in this moment. Nostalgia has its place, but it would be a waste to indulge it with so many updates happening this week.  

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

There are times when it’s important to keep yourself in check and other times when it’s best not to judge yourself. Negativity in particular is a state that gets a lot of self-criticism when it can actually be just the tone needed to respond to the day. The most creative frame of mind isn’t always a positive one! 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The easy way is to ask how to do something. The hard way is to take it apart and try to put it back together for the sake of comprehensive understanding. The last way comes with the risk that you won’t be able to make it work again, but even if you can’t, you’ll still have knowledge instead of merely information.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

The instinct to become secretive points to having something you deem worth protecting. You don’t always know exactly what that thing is, but this vague sense of its significance is worth pursuing on your road to self-knowledge. The thing worth hiding might also be a jewel to cut, shine and set inside wearable gold.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Those who believe themselves to be battling against overwhelming odds are bound to be vigilant in their defensive state. A change in an assessment of the odds will reduce jumpiness and suspicion. Trust, care, love and tenderness will change the game, too, as will tangible gestures, resources and provisions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

If love is an art (and who is to say it’s not?), you’re currently redefining a highly original creative process, with attractive results. In the art realm, many are casually drawn in by beauty, but the world turns on the action of an elite class of appreciators who interpret, care for and preserve the value of the gift.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you wanted to, you could listen to the dictates of time, money and reason, although don’t expect to be surprised or entertained by what they have to say. You could also ignore these factors as you formulate, scheme and imagine. Reality rules in the end… why give it the beginning and middle, too?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

When the resources tighten up, don’t worry; it’s just part of the pattern. Calmly, coolly take what you can get, and remain patient. Circumstances will eventually turn around, and quite obviously so at that. The ground will split and crack right open before you to reveal the glittering diamond vein.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

In your own way, you are cultivating a rebellion. It started back when you noticed the ineffectiveness of the status quo. Now you see, with increasing clarity, the ways in which you could improve matters in a sector of your influence. And the more you notice, the harder it is to stand by. Plans come together.
