GEMINI (AIR) MAY 21 – JUNE 21Some days you have the feeling that you don’t know what is expected of you and can’t understand what is causing the breakdown in communications. For the time being, take notes and, wherever possible, refrain from signing any important papers until you can have the experts look them over. Don’t expect too much from a sibling and you won’t be disappointed. HINT: This is a good time for rectifying a troublesome situation at work.
VIRGO (EARTH) AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22A breakdown in communication expected over the weekend which might cause you to lose your self-confidence. Take a step back and allow yourself some breathing space before committing yourself either verbally or on paper. You are correct—one piece of the puzzle is missing and, for now, the best you can do is wait. Money and finances need looking into, but you can relax, as the situation is better than you thought. HINT: When organizing your week, try to postpone important meetings for another week.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE) NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21Even though you don’t think you have the patience, take your time and pay attention to the little details along the way. You will be amazed at just how much you learn by observing and listening carefully. Setbacks concerning money and finances are expected, but are not as serious as you first thought. Nevertheless, put some money aside. HINT: Sunday and Monday are good days for coming home early and catching up on some quality time with your family.
PISCES (WATER) FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20Changes in routine and work are expected and no matter how careful you are, or how much you try to be organized, sometimes things are simply beyond your control. This is one of those times. Rather than getting upset, try to go with the flow and enjoy the ride. Your relationship with another water sign brings you both a great deal of joy as you have come to respect each other’s opinion. HINT: The first half of the week is perfect for pampering yourself.
CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22 – JULY 22You have a lot of energy right now and this is the time for forging ahead with your plans. Try to refrain from beginning anything new. Instead, take this time to complete a project which is close to your heart, and build some bridges between yourself and someone who can help you professionally. No one is more important to you than your family and time spent together is just what you need this week. HINT: Money and finances will not be a problem if you are careful now.
LIBRA (AIR) SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 23Problems concerning scheduling are expected this week, so don’t rely solely on your memory, double check your appointments and leave yourself some room in order to compensate for last minute changes. You have been busy with family and friends and this is the week for slowing down and catching up on some of that paperwork that has accumulated on your desk. HINT: Professionally you continue to be recognized as a leader and tops in your field.
CAPRICORN (EARTH) DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19This is the week to cut back on unnecessary spending. Always careful about money, you have been rather optimistic about your financial situation and need to be a little more responsible this week. Make the effort to spend some time with another earth sign this week. Together you are a formidable team. HINT: You don’t seem to have much patience with your partner and/or mate right now and a simple conversation could escalate into an exchange of harsh words.
ARIES (FIRE) MARCH 21 – APRIL 19Confusion and mix-ups are expected this week and the more flexible you are right now, the better. You have so much to do and not nearly enough time to get everything done on your own. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a colleague you trust and ask for help. You are extremely creative, but this week you need to be more conservative, for a change. HINT: A lot of energy is placed in and around your home, but for the time being hold back on some serious renovations you have been contemplating.
LEO (FIRE) JULY 23 – AUGUST 22You have a great deal on your mind but every time you think you have discovered the solution to the problem at hand, something new crops up causing you to have second thoughts. For the time being, jot things down and keep your thoughts to yourself. Time spent with family fills your heart and this is the best week for surrounding yourself with close friends and relatives. HINT: Double check reservations and time schedules.
SCORPIO (WATER) OCTOBER 24 – NOVEMBER 21Any stumbling blocks you face this week will help you get to a better place professionally, so stay calm and listen carefully. You have many options and soon your path will be much clearer. In a couple more weeks you will be able to tie off some loose ends which will bring you much closer to your goal. HINT: Take some time to tell your partner and/or mate just how much you appreciate them.
AQUARIUS (AIR) JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18This is a perfect week for mending and solidifying a relationship which means a great deal to you. You have the chance now to reach out and take a second look and eliminate some problems that were standing in your way. Financially, this is the time for eliminating risk and concentrating on business ventures that are solid and safe. HINT: It is perfectly fine to lend a helping hand, but that does not mean you are responsible for taking on the entire project.
TAURUS (EARTH) APRIL 20-MAY 20The time has come to take a step back and rethink your plans. You may be on the right track, but need some more information before you can commit yourself. Don’t hesitate to try to get to the heart of a situation in order to determine what needs to be done, and what needs to be eliminated along the way. HINT: Your relationship with a water sign is both pleasant and confusing. Pleasant because you enjoy each other’s company. Confusing because you don’t always know what this person wants.
