CAPRICORN (EARTH)
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
Your thoughts turn to money and finances this week, but have no fear. All is under control and you have done your extreme best to assemble the money you will need for an expensive venture in the coming months. No one can fault you and your word is definitely your bond. Take a little time off this week to simply have fun and enjoy some quiet time with the people you love the most. Sunday and Monday are wonderful days for getting things done, so roll up your sleeves and dive in!
HINT: Trust your intuition when meeting a person who smiles with their mouth but not their eyes.
AQUARIUS (AIR)
JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
This is the week to begin concentrating on you own needs rather than take care of everyone else. You have made some important decisions over the past few months and the time is right for acting on some of them. You know what you want and need and have many more people than you expected ready and willing to open doors, lend a helping hand or simple offer some expert advice. Financially you have the funds so stop worrying.
HINT: Your partner and/or mate is a constant source of support and as you begin to lean more upon each other, you are reminded just how special your relationship is.
PISCES (WATER)
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20
You have a few decisions to make in the coming weeks and this is the time to start gathering information. Pay attention to what is missing rather than concentrate on what you already know. When speaking with water sign try to give each other a bit of ‘wiggle room’. As you are both dominant people, the sparks may fly if you get too close. You may need to dip into some of your savings in order to pay an unexpected bill. Don’t worry you everything is under control and you can afford it.
HINT: You are in the mood for visiting exotic places, meeting new people and changing the view from your window.
ARIES (FIRE)
MARCH 21-APRIL 19
You energy turns to family property and money this week. Take your time. Check out all your options before bringing your ideas and desires to the table. Not everyone will agree with you at first, but your power of persuasion is strong and your facts will bear up under scrutiny. This weekend try to tone down some of your activities. Time spend quietly at home is just what you need to recharge and catch up on some long overdue rest.
HINT: Take the time to prepare for an important meeting and be ready to answer some difficult and complicated questions.
TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY 20
This is a good week for commitment and compromise. You are stronger on the first than the second, but once you have examined the pros and cons, you will quickly come to the conclusion that a little flexibility on your part will be well worthwhile. Financially all is moving according to plan and even if you are a little shorter than you had hoped, you will still have the necessary funds when the time comes.
HINT: Time spent with a fire sign will be a great deal more pleasant now than it has been for some time. It is up to you whether or not you wish to pursue the relationship.
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21
Things are finally beginning to fall into place and you are happy to see that there are still a few places where you are in control. As for the rest, relax and go with the flow. It is much easier to move with the crowd than try to fight it this week. Financially you need to continue watching your bank balance carefully as more and more opportunities come your way which look very promising. By getting organized you find that you are not nearly as tired as you used to be.
HINT: Your partner and/or mate is not only your friend but your anchor in a stormy sea.
CANCER (WATER)
JUNE 22-JULY 22
This is the time for you to put your own needs ahead of everything else and begin to take care of yourself… pamper yourself. You always have the funds necessary for everyone else and this is your time to buy that piece of jewelry; get a new laptop; sign up for a new course and take a few days to rest and relax with your partner and/or mate in a local spa. Once you put yourself first, you will be amazed at how energetic and optimistic you feel.
HINT: Your creative juices are flowing so put aside some space in order to work on a special project.
LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
Your energy is focused now on your home and family. You have been thinking lately of some changes you wish to make in your house and if you put aside some funds now you will have the money in the spring that you need. Surprisingly the cost will be less than you imagined and the joy will be greater. The time is right to begin working on a new project which has been on your mind for quite some time. At first some people will not understand, but as time passes they will see the light and be ready to enjoy your success.
HINT: Your relationship with a Capricorn is stronger than ever now.
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
Your energy turns from financial matters to family ones as you begin to spend more time with a sibling. Your relationship over the past few years has not been nearly as close as it was and you may feel that this is an opportune moment to do something which will draw you closer together. Refrain from dwelling on the past and look instead toward the future. After a busy day you enjoy relaxing at home and this week prefer to spend quiet time enjoying a good book or movie rather than entertaining and being entertained.
HINT: A conversation with your partner and/or mate is just what you need to see things from a different perspective.
LIBRA (AIR)
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
You have been running around tying off loose ends and preparing for a major change in your life for so long that you have forgotten just how fabulous it is to simply sit in your favorite chair and do nothing. Take advantage of this break in your very busy schedule and don’t feel guilty in the least! Your services are much in demand and you deserve a little break here and there. Financially you are always concerned, but things continue to move forward and there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel.
HINT: A conversation with a water sign will prove once again just how important this relationship is.
SCORPIO (WATER)
OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 20
Before you say something you may regret, take a step back and re-evaluate your answer. Sometimes it isn’t so much what you say as how you say it. Keep focusing on your goal and take baby steps. Time spent with your partner and/or mate will be amazing this week, so try to clear your schedule in order to have as much time as possible. When dealing with person who can’t see beyond their own nose, save your breath. No sense wasting time and energy on someone who is so stuck in their ways.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE)
NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
A major problem at work was quickly avoided and you have not only learned by your mistake but gained important knowledge along the way. Everyone makes mistakes so stop beating yourself over the head and move forward. Your family understands how busy you are but would appreciate spending a little more quality time together with you. For those of you contemplating beginning a course or two, the time is right…go for it!
HINT: New friends are always interesting, but old friends are gold. Luckily, you have both!
