Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Dwelling on the past is driving opportunity from your door. Command the power of the present moment. Review your options and make a choice that feels good. It’s better to ignore conventional wisdom and follow your heart, even at the risk of seeming impractical. Someone will try to impose their ideas on you. Be polite but firm about setting boundaries. If this pest continues trying to convert you, cut off the relationship or file an official complaint. You have better things to do than listen to this drivel.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) A friend has deceived you and you’re not sure how to react. If you still have affection for them, talk to them about how their behaviour has negatively affected you. Explain that you’d rather hear a painful truth than be subjected to a lie. Stop getting in the way of making more money. Instead of working harder, try becoming more receptive to abundance. It’s much easier to attract wealth than cultivate it. Picture yourself living in the lap of luxury, enjoying all your favourite creature comforts.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Be scrupulously honest at work, even if it means losing a client, patron or patient. Your professional reputation rests on giving truthful feedback. Stroking someone’s ego might work for a few days, but it will ultimately backfire. Be direct when making assessments and offering advice. Excessive pride is keeping you from advancement. Instead of brushing off a newcomer’s advice, give it a try. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how their idea saves time, money and aggravation.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Giving away your power to a spiritual guru or powerful teacher is a mistake. The answers you seek are within. No formula can solve your spiritual dilemmas. A sensitive person like you needs a creative outlet to thrive. Pick up a pen or paintbrush. Talking behind someone’s back will backfire. If you have a problem with a child or romantic partner, have a heart to heart discussion. When you give them a chance to amend their behaviour, you’ll pave the way to a stronger relationship.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Difficulties with an insurance policy or legal settlement can drain your energy. Don’t get sucked into a downward spiral. When you feel blue, change direction. Play some upbeat music. Step away from your desk and take a walk around the block. Call a humorous friend. Stop feeling compelled to paint a rosy picture of your life on social media. If you feel lonely or want help, admit it. You’ll be touched and surprised by all the compassionate responses you receive.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Emotional confusion surrounding a relationship can be resolved. Instead of looking to your partner for guidance, turn your attention inward. Ask yourself what you want from this partnership. The answer will surprise you. Moral support is more important than financial assistance. Throwing your weight around at work will create great resentment. If a job needs to be done, assign it to the person who is best qualified to perform it. Resist the urge to micromanage them.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) It’s important to deliver what you have promised. While the temptation to take the day off and stay in bed is tempting, it’s better to meet your obligations. After dispatching your long list of things to do, give yourself a reward. Imposing your beliefs on a romantic interest will drive a wedge between you. At times like these, it’s important to remember that variety is the spice of life. Differences can enhance your relationship, rather than detract from it.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) The irresponsible behaviour of someone younger is driving you to distraction. You’re starting to worry about their safety. Resist the temptation to impose a lot of harsh rules and regulations. Show faith in your protege. This will build their confidence and make them more mindful. Asserting your independence will be more difficult than expected. Normally, you’re the one who clings tightest. This situation is different. Don’t feel guilty about demanding more free time. You deserve it.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) An illness could be a manifestation of emotional distress. Instead of trying to mask your symptoms with a lot of over the counter medications, tune into your feelings. What can you do to relieve anxiety, fear or anger? Communing with nature can be therapeutic. Insisting on getting your way could mark the end of a close relationship. You’ve always had a commanding personality. This has made it easy to get what you want. Start deferring to your partner’s needs for a change.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Are you having difficulty learning a task? Look for a tutor who takes a flexible approach to teaching. After working together for a few days, this instructor will hit upon a method that works for you. People have all different ways of absorbing information. Stop conflating your self-worth with your job. It doesn’t matter if you have a wonderful position or are unemployed. You’re fabulous, regardless of the way you make money. Using work to disparage or envy others is a losing proposition.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) An impractical attitude towards money can create annoying situations. Get into the habit of paying bills on time. It’s so much better than being hit with late fees. Program your phone to send reminders or set up an automatic payment plan through your bank. A creative block is driving you to distraction. The best way to get your imagination to flow is to tackle mundane tasks. A brilliant breakthrough will occur while you’re chopping vegetables, folding laundry or sweeping the floor.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You are unclear which direction to take. Rather than pressuring yourself to choose a path, give yourself a break. Enjoy some pleasant diversions. While your conscious brain is occupied with fun and games, your subconscious can drift, dream and discover your heart’s desire. An inability to get along with a relative is not your fault. You can’t force affection. Although you’ve tried treating this family member with respect, they continue to berate you. Feel free to cut yourself free from this bond.
