The less involved you are in office gossip, family feuds and intrigue among your neighbors, the better. If you plan carefully, you will be able to find the emotional quiet space you have been seeking in order to write, paint, sculpt, garden or any other form or activity which demands precision, ingenuity and creativity.HINT: You may not have as much patience with a sibling right now, but any time spent together will be good for you both.CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22-JULY 22When asking someone you trust for their opinion, don’t be surprised or upset when you get an answer you weren’t expecting.If you are honest with yourself, you will realize that this person is right, and rather than feel insecure or even angry, be grateful that you have such a true friend. You can stagnate or grow— the choice is yours. Financially you continue to watch your expenses and wherever possible put some cash aside for a major trip or home renovation.HINT: People enjoy being in your company and this is a good week to get out and mingle.GEMINI (AIR) MAY 21-JUNE 21Easily bored, you need constant challenges which help spur you on to reaching your goals. Rather than try to tackle all aspects alone, relegate some of the work to people you trust. Your relationship with a fire sign continues to grow and the more time you spend with this person you realize just how valuable a friend he/ she has become.
