GEMINI (AIR) MAY 21 – JUNE 21 The less you expect from others, the less you will be disappointed. There is nothing you can to do move things along and for the time being you are simply going to have to get used to working at a much slower pace. Tuesday you might discover you are more sensitive than usual, and it may be best for you to avoid serious conversations or important meetings on that day. HINT: This is a good week for mending fences and reaching out to someone younger who misses you.
CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22 – JULY 22 This is a good week for getting things organized around your home. Out with the old and in with the new can be your mantra for the next few days. Once you are organized you will be amazed at just how much better you feel. Don’t be surprised if your relationship with your partner and/or mate takes on new impetus as these days the lines of communication between you are wide open and the information continues to flow between you.  HINT: Your family always comes first, no matter what.
LEO (FIRE) JULY 23 – AUGUST 22 Take some time to bring your partner and/or mate up-todate on your plans. Together you will accomplish far more than you will individually and you will be amazed at just how much you enjoy working closely again. Soon you will have to put some time aside to complete a project that has been sitting on your desk for far too long. HINT: Towards the end of the week you will be busy socializing with your family and close friends and you may have to rearrange your schedule.
VIRGO (EARTH) AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22 Financially, things are progressing a lot slower than you had expected and you may need to cut back on some expenses you had planned for the near future. This is a good week for tying up loose ends as well as for meeting with someone who is interested in helping you advance professionally. HINT: By the middle portion of this week your thoughts and energy turns to your partner and/or mate.
LIBRA (AIR) SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 23 This is a perfect time for stepping back and rethinking your ideas for your future. Don’t hesitate to call in a colleague whom you trust to brainstorm and work on your strategy. On a personal note, you need to cut back a little and take better care of yourself. A new diet or exercise plan will go a long way to getting you back up on your feet. HINT: Tuesday and Thursday are going to be busy days, so plan accordingly.
SCORPIO (WATER) OCTOBER 24 – NOVEMBER 21 The time has come for you to let go of the past and look towards the future. You have learned from your mistakes and are not the same person you were even six months ago. Dust yourself off, hold your head high and reach for the gold ring. Choose your friends wisely and when in doubt trust your intuition. This is a time for renewal and building. HINT: Time spent with a Pisces will be interesting, exciting and invigorating.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE) NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21 Finally after weeks and even months of planning, you are ready to make your move. In the meantime, you have also learned who your true friends are and who you can honestly trust. Your sense of fair play and justice will do you well when choosing which people you want to join you on your journey. Spend your money wisely and, for the time being, if you don’t need it, don’t buy it. HINT: Try leaving your office early this week. Time spent with your family is just what you all need.
CAPRICORN (EARTH) DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19 Career wise, you know what you want and need and you also know what conditions are unacceptable for you. Soon you will have to make a serious conclusion concerning your work place. Take your time, weigh your options carefully and when you are ready announce your decision. This is the week for spending time with close friends and siblings. HINT: Try to catch up on your sleep over the weekend. Perfect opportunity for you to rest and recharge.
AQUARIUS (AIR) JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18 You have so many ideas running through your mind, each with its own set of emotions. Take a step back and give yourself some breathing room. There is no need to rush, you have plenty of time and trust your instincts. Friends you have made over the past few months are steadfast and some of them will remain in your inner circle for years to come. Financial matters begin to ease up and soon you will be able to relax where money is concerned. HINT: Although you long to travel, your plans may have to wait for a more convenient time.
PISCES (WATER) FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!A great deal is happening behind the scenes and this time you will be best served by walking away and avoiding all the office gossip. You know who your true friends are and who can be trusted. When you have a moment, pick up your feet and try to do nothing, for a change. Time spent in the company of another water sign is just what you need in order to get a proper perspective on some of the things that are happening in your life. HINT: When dealing with a family member, try to remain patient. This person is doing their best.
ARIES (FIRE)
MARCH 21 – APRIL 19
You continue to wait for the right time to make your move and the delay is causing you to feel frustrated and angry. Keeping busy is a way of passing time productively and the best you can hope for at the moment. Meetings and social functions cannot be avoided as you must honor your commitments both professionally and personally. Be patient with your partner and/or mate. This time they need a shoulder to lean on. HINT: Wednesday and Thursday you may discover that you are short-tempered and even the simplest conversation may flare up into an argument.
TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY 20
Your self-image and social standing become even more important this week and you will find it rather difficult remaining pleasant and staying calm when faced with a person who has too many questions and doesn’t wait to hear your answers. Your relationship with another earth sign is improving daily and this is the time for reaching out and inviting this person to share an elegant dinner for two. HINT: Problems at work cannot be avoided, and your reaction to them can either calm the waters or create a storm.
