TAURUS (EARTH) APRIL 20-MAY 20
By the latter portion of this week your thoughts turn to personal matters and you may find yourself a bit overwhelmed with the flood of information. You are a master of calm and determination, so trust yourself and enjoy the excitement.
Financially all is as expected as you have mapped out your expenses for the coming months. Lately you have spent a great deal of time with an older member of your family, which has proven to be wonderful for you both.
HINT: Time spent at home over the weekend is just what you need to relax and recharge.
GEMINI (AIR) MAY 21-JUNE 21
Your mind is working overtime and if you want others to understand you then you must take a deep breath and get your thoughts organized before you speak. Not everyone can work at the level you do.
The downside is that sometimes you progress so quickly that you are perceived as superficial rather than the serious person you know you are. Financially you need to keep an eye on your bank balance and reach for cash rather than plastic.
HINT: You may find yourself dwelling on the past, but the memories are pleasant this time, so enjoy the trip down memory lane.
CANCER (WATER) JUNE 22-JULY 22
Self-doubt which troubled you over the past weeks is no longer a matter of concern and you can be proud of a job extremely well done. There are so many people who care about you and are looking forward to spending time in your company that you will have to fight to find enough spare time to accommodate everyone. Financially you continue to be a bit concerned, and although you still don’t have all the answers you need, you will discover that things are not nearly as dim as you thought.
HINT: Problems with either plumbing or electrical items may appear, needing the help of an expert or two.
LEO (FIRE) JULY 23-AUGUST 22
As time passes you feel the need to isolate yourself rather than stand center stage as usual, and those closest to you may not understand this change. All you really need is some quiet emotional space in order to create and produce something which has been on your mind for quite some time. So, without giving away your secret, just calm everyone down and get to work. Financially you are keeping a close eye on your bank balance while cutting down on any unnecessary expenses.
HINT: A conversation with a family member you are especially close to will warm your heart.
VIRGO (EARTH) AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
You seem to feel a lot more relaxed lately and are even a bit more flexible with your family and close circle of friends. The change has deepened your connections, but it will take a bit more time before trust is established. When dealing with a Sagittarius, remember that this person needs space and understanding, so don’t try to tie them down. Financially all is better than you had hoped, and you continue to get closer to your ultimate goal.
HINT: Time spent with your partner or mate is important to you, and day by day you realize just how much this person adds to your life.
LIBRA (AIR) SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
You are super-sensitive this week and the indifference of someone you trusted might affect you more than you had anticipated. Always ready to see every side of the story, this time you not only feel that you are right… you know you are! Rather than make a hasty decision, take your time. Financially you are a bit concerned, but continue doing as much as is possible to increase your income.
HINT: The middle portion of this week is a perfect time for getting away with your partner or mate for a quiet evening. You both need some more one-on-one time.
SCORPIO (WATER) OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 20
Lately you have noticed that time flies quickly at work, and you have enjoyed not only the job you are doing, but the people who are working with you. Friendships are growing and there are even a couple of people who you would like to spend time with outside the office.
Don’t be surprised if a member of your family reaches out to you for advice this week. A little bit of brainstorming will put things right. Financially you continue being careful as more than once you have had the feeling that your salary disappears in the supermarket!
HINT: A conversation with your partner or mate will soothe some minor concerns.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE) NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
Although things are much better than they were, and you are sleeping sounder these days, you still can’t let your guard down. Once you have solidified your financial base, everything else will fall into place. Fortunately you are much wiser now and your experience and good name will help get you over the rough spots. Nothing is more important to you than family, and any opportunity to get together is a party!
HINT: Before beginning a conversation with an earth sign, make certain you have all the facts and are prepared to answer some interesting questions.
CAPRICORN (EARTH) DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
This is a busy week for you professionally, and in order to get everything done on time you will need to be super-organized.
You have a great deal to do in a short period of time, but once it is done, you are free to enjoy yourself and relax. Financially all is moving according to plan, and you have the money you need with funds left over for pleasure.
A conversation with a parent will help you see things in a different light and will relieve some of the stress you have been feeling. HINT: Sunday and Monday are good days for pampering yourself.
AQUARIUS (AIR) JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
This is the week to enjoy family and friends, especially people you have known for many years. Together you have shared experiences which make for some interesting and hilarious conversations. Although you have no professional complaints, you may be considering making a change or two which will be more challenging and rewarding than what you are doing now. A conversation with your partner or mate will produce some good advice.
HINT: Financially you are doing fine but still haven’t been able to put as much money aside as you had hoped.
PISCES (WATER) FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20
Your intuition continues to be strong, especially when meeting new people this week. Someone you come into contact with will not only prove to be an interesting person but will become important to you in the future. Professionally you continue working long, hard hours but have managed to set aside some personal space in order to relax and work on some personal matters which bring you much joy. Financially things are far from where you would like them to be, but much better than you thought.
HINT: Sunday and Monday are good days for meetings and social gatherings.
ARIES (FIRE) MARCH 21-APRIL 19
By the last few days of this week your thoughts turn to property and money matters. As much as you would love to push things forward, for the time being you have to take a back seat and let things move according to plan. In the end you will achieve your goal, so don’t waste time and energy on what you can’t change. A conversation with a Taurus will turn out to be far more interesting than you had expected, as you have much more in common than either of you knew. Your lack of patience with an air sign is obvious to one and all. If you are so inclined, you can still avoid a confrontation.
