GEMINI (AIR) MAY 21 – JUNE 21
Plans may suddenly change this week and people you trusted and relied on could cause set-backs and serious delays in your schedule. Leave yourself some space to maneuver and you should do just fine. Sudden bursts of spending cannot be avoided right now so plan carefully. Monday and Tuesday are good days for taking care of personal business. Don’t hesitate to invite a friend for coffee or a light meal. HINT: Sometimes it is better to let the other person think he is right for a change.
CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22 – JULY 22
Money and financial matters continue to be on your mind as you are spending more than usual these days. Since it can’t be avoided, don’t let it play on your mind and keep you up at night. You have things covered quite nicely and soon all will fall back into place once again. During the middle portion of the week take a break from your busy schedule to pamper yourself a bit. HINT: This weekend is a perfect time for sharing a traditional meal at home with people you especially like.
LEO (FIRE) JULY 23 – AUGUST 22
Think twice before revealing too much personal information. You have a lot on your mind and would love to share your thoughts and feelings, but, for now, your best bet is to take a back seat and listen. So many people want to spend time with you and you will have to keep to a rigid schedule if you wish to sail smoothly through all your many appointments and meetings. HINT: Better to walk away from an argument, even though you know you are in the right.
VIRGO (EARTH) AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22
You have the feeling that something is missing and if you could only find that extra piece all would be well. The truth is that it is staring you right in the face but you continue to walk by without noticing it. Take more time to pay attention to the little things and you won’t be sorry. HINT: Money and finances are not nearly as stable as they were and you are going to have to be a little more careful right now.
LIBRA (AIR) SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 23
Always honest and trustworthy, you are not prepared to see a lack of stability and dependability in someone close to you. The problem is one of priorities rather than anything else. Perhaps your expectations are simply a bit too high right now. HINT: Even though you continue working long hours, you still have a project that is not nearly ready and this week you are going to have to readjust your schedule in order to get the job done.
SCORPIO (WATER) OCTOBER 24 – NOVEMBER 21
No matter which path you choose these days, it seems you are taking the long way around. Be patient and pay attention. In the weeks to come you will have the information you need. In the meantime take good notes and roll up your sleeves. Your relationship with a sibling may need some nurturing and it would be best if you make the first move. HINT: Time spent with your partner and/or mate is just what you need this week.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE) NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21
Confusion concerning money and finances cannot be avoided, and this is not the time for trusting on luck alone—no matter how lucky you are. This is the time for careful contemplation and cutting back on unnecessary spending. The more attention you pay to the little, seemingly insignificant details, the better as every bit of information you glean now will benefit you in the weeks and months to come. HINT: Be patient with your family, they can’t know the pressure you are under unless you sit down and tell them.
CAPRICORN (EARTH) DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19
This is the week for tying off loose ends and for paying strict attention to your finances. Never one to spend foolishly, you do have moments of splurges and binges. This week should not be one of those times. Confusion centered on your home and family will quickly pass as the week progresses. Give yourself some space to relax and catch up on some much needed rest. HINT: Time spent with a Taurus will be much more pleasant than you anticipated.
AQUARIUS (AIR) JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18
This is a good time for taking a closer look at a personal relationship. You may not have given this person enough space or the benefit of the doubt, and now is the time for throwing assumptions out the window and building bridges. However, in the end, the final decision is yours and it is your needs which must be satisfied. It is difficult for you to save money right now but you don’t have to spend it foolishly either. HINT: Friday is a perfect day for staying home with family and very close friends.
PISCES (WATER) FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20
You will find it difficult saving any money right now and the best you can do is to try to cut back on your spending. You are in a much better position financially now than you were in the past but need to continue being careful. When speaking to a fire sign pay attention not to step on this person’s ego, which is quite fragile at the moment. HINT: Family and friends continue to take up most of your spare time, but you enjoy the company and companionship.
ARIES (FIRE) MARCH 21 – APRIL 19
This is the time for gathering information rather than for dispensing it. You have a lot to say and need to ensure that the audience you seek is ready to listen. In the meantime continue taking copious notes and ask good questions. Your partner and/or mate is a constant source of wonder in your life and Tuesday is a good day for doing something special for this person. HINT: A conversation with an old friend who lives far away will do a lot to lighten your mood.
TAURUS (EARTH) APRIL 20-MAY 20
This is not the time for making serious changes to your home or for major renovations. Hang in there for a few more weeks and if you feel the same then, then you can begin to call in the experts and start shopping. This is the time for asking questions rather than for volunteering answers. HINT: A simple discussion with a sibling could turn into an argument if you are not careful. Since you really like this person, your best bet will be to walk away.
