TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY 20
Whenever you have a quiet moment your thoughts turn to planning your next move both in your professional as well as personal life.
Never one to jump off the deep end, by the time you make up your mind, you will have examined all your options, asked all the questions, and, only then will you make your final decision. Trust yourself.
Financially, you may spend a little more money than you had planned this week, but you are still solid in the bank.
HINT: The last few days of this week are perfect for spending time with a water sign.
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21
You have a great deal of energy but before you take off, you need to sit down and discuss things carefully with your partner and/or mate. Short on patience you would rather go it alone, but by acting responsibly you will save a lot of aggravation down the road. Don’t waste time mulling over the past.
You are much stronger and much wiser now. Financially you may find it difficult putting money aside this week but if you halt any unnecessary spending you will be fine.
HINT: Take some time this weekend to deal with some paperwork that is piled on your desk.
CANCER (WATER)
JUNE 22-JULY 22
You have worked very hard to get where you are and this is a good week to take a step back and relax a bit.
Always thinking, you know where you have to focus your energies and when the time comes you will be ready to roll up your sleeves and tackle a new project. In the meantime, family and close friends help you to enjoy a little time off.
HINT: Financially things are a bit tight right now due to some unexpected expenses but in the weeks to come things will ease up and you will be able to start putting money aside once again.
LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
Rather than wasting your time and energy on things you have no control over, take this week to realize that the glass is actually more than half full, and for the time being that is the best you could ask for. It is simply that after setting your sights so high you need a break from climbing the mountain. Pay attention to your intuition. It never lets you down. Time spent with a younger member of your family is a win-win situation as you both communicate without words.
HINT: You hate pinching pennies but this week you have no other choice.
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
Finally you are able to loosen up a bit and rather than insist everything be done your way, you are prepared to follow a younger member of your family’s lead. You won’t be sorry. You may know better but the joy this person gains by your trust is priceless. Besides, ‘better’ isn’t always ‘best’. Take some time off during the middle portion of this week to simply rest, relax and recharge. For far too long you have been pushing yourself and no one is getting any younger—even you!
HINT: Don’t be too proud to ask for some help from your partner and/or mate.
LIBRA (AIR)
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
Good week for turning off your phone, locking your door and working on a project which demands not only your full attention but your expertise and experience as well. The contacts you have made professionally over the past few months will prove invaluable as new doors begin to open. The changes you have been striving for for so long are right around the corner, so don’t give up now! Time spent with a dear friend will help you unwind and relax during the last few days of this week.
HINT: Financially you continue to watch your situation carefully and soon the pressure will begin to ease up.
SCORPIO (WATER)
OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 20
Money, both your own and that you share with either family or business partners is accented this week and now is a good time to set up a meeting to discuss the situation and clear up some questions you may have. The solution will be much simpler than you had imagined as together you decide which your best options are.
Family members living far away are on your mind and this is the time to make arrangements to meet in the not too distant future.
HINT: Professionally things are moving according to your plans.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE)
NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
Be patient with your partner and/or mate and if you are honest with yourself you will realize that this person is not only on your side but a real partner in all things. Rather than use them as a vent for your frustration, take a day or two off from your busy schedule and rest. Your short fuse is simply because you are exhausted.
Financially things are just as you had planned and in the months to come you will be able to reach another goal you have set for yourself.
HINT: A conversation with an earth sign may not be simple but will be valuable.
CAPRICORN (EARTH)
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
Things are moving according to plan and all your hard work is about to pay off. You may not have the free time you had hoped for this week but you are definitely tying off loose ends and when all is completed that is when you can take a break and be proud of a job extremely well done. Family members stand solidly behind any decision you make and although you are independent, it is good to know they are there.
HINT: Working together with another earth sign will spark ideas and is well worth the effort.
AQUARIUS (AIR)
JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
Good week for staying focused on your goals and keeping the ‘big picture’ in mind.
You may have to wait a little longer before you make some changes in your life but rather than get frustrated by the wait, use this time to gather information, check your options and examine how you really feel. Time spent with a special friend will help you put some balance back into your very busy days.
HINT: When discussing your ideas with a family member remember that this person always has your best interest at heart and will forever guard your back.
PISCES (WATER)
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH
You may find yourself at a crossroads between your personal obligations and your professional commitments. This is a good week for re-evaluating your goals and for making a few minor changes which will help you ease into the next phase of your plans.
Everyone has an idea and is ready to give you advice. The truth is that you know exactly what you are doing and are working on your own time schedule. When the time is right you will know it.
HINT: If you watch your spending over the next few weeks and you should be alright financially.
ARIES (FIRE) MARCH 21-APRIL 19
Money and financial matters are on your mind as you continue working out some ideas for your future. Once you have the major pieces put securely in place you will make your move. The problem is procuring the patience necessary in order to bide your time. This is a perfect week for examining the possibility of registering for a course or two which you have been considering for some time now. You may even examine studying abroad, if that is possible.
HINT: This weekend is a good time for you to invite a few close, good friends over for a casual meal and some intense conversations.
TIP FOR THE WEEK: You may feel this week that the minute you step on the gas you have to slam on the brakes. Be patient…by the end of the week things will run smoothly once again.
