CAPRICORN (EARTH)
DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
The weekend finds you rather sensitive and fragile and this is a perfect time to simply crawl under the covers and enjoy some quiet time.
You have been doing so much for everyone around you although you may think your efforts have gone unnoticed, the opposite is true. You are appreciated and respected more and more as time goes on. Money and financial matters are uppermost in your mind as a major purchase has either just been made or is coming up in the not so distant future.
HINT: This is not the time to begin new projects which have come your way over the past few days. Instead, take this time to tie off loose ends.
AQUARIUS (AIR)
JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18
Don’t waste your time on endless minor details; instead, take a step back in order to see the big picture. This may not be a good time for you to make your move, but you have planned well and can feel confident in your ability to choose. A discussion with your partner and/or mate will certainly help you to see things clearly as this person is rather down-to earth and pragmatic rather than flighty. Your financial situation is moving along according to plan, so relax and enjoy yourself a bit more.
HINT: Think twice before blurting out something you might be sorry for later. By Sunday all will be back to normal.
PISCES (WATER)
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20
Things are definitely moving in the right direction, but there are days when you doubt you will have the strength to see things through to the end. The problem is that you have been overworked for so long and you simply aren’t as young as you used to be. Take a little time off for yourself during the middle portion of this week. Nothing will happen if you put yourself first for a change. A conversation with an elderly member of your family might tax your patience, but grin and bear it. This person needs you more than ever now.
HINT: Financially you need to continue watching your bank balance.
ARIES (FIRE)
MARCH 21-APRIL 19
You have so much energy and not enough outlets right now. Tied up with family business and professional matters does not leave you much room to work on your own projects causing frustration and a bit of friction between yourself and those closest to you. It might take up to three weeks before the situation improves and in the meantime you would be best served by focusing on the present and clearing your desk as much as possible.
HINT: Financially you continue to watch your spending carefully and always have a little tucked away for a rainy day.
TAURUS (EARTH)
APRIL 20-MAY 20
A great deal of your energy involves your partner and/or mate and together you are a strong and interesting team.
You may not be identical by nature but are as suited as a hand in a glove. Trust your instincts and you won’t err this week.
You may feel the urge to go on a mad shopping spree but at the last minute your conservative nature will save you a lot of money and grief.
HINT: When talking to an employer you may have the feeling that there is a breakdown in communication between you. There is nothing you can do, but it will clear up shortly so try not to get offended or insulted.
GEMINI (AIR)
MAY 21-JUNE 21
Although you would love to take off and go to some exotic island and relax under the sun, you know this isn’t possible. Daydreaming is good but pining away for something you can’t attain is a waste of time and energy.
You need to get organized this week and keep as precise notes as you can. Soon a new project will appear which will take up a great deal of your time.
HINT: This weekend provides a perfect opportunity for you to spend time with your partner and/or mate hashing out new ideas, remembering things from the past and simply enjoying each other’s company.
CANCER (WATER)
JUNE 22-JULY 22
You may not be very savvy where money is concerned this week, so wherever possible turn to your partner and/or mate and share your thoughts and ideas with them. Together you will work out the flaws, the mistakes and decide on a conservative plan of action with will be more suited to your personality and needs. You enjoy the company of family and close friends but this week prefer to hibernate and recharge.
A project which has been left undone needs looking at.
HINT: Your relationship with a sibling always makes you smile. Pick up the phone and make some plans to meet soon.
LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
You may find it rather difficult working with an earth sign right now as this person is so stuck in their ways and has no patience to listen to anything new or innovating.
However, by being a little crafty and clever you will find a way to break down the wall between you. Financially things are definitely improving but you are still smarting from expenses that could not be avoided from last month.
HINT: People living far away are certainly missed, but for not you have neither the time or money for a trip abroad. The good news is that by the summer the situation will be much different, so don’t give up hope!
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
You may be absolutely correct but not many people are interested in listening to you. A little tact will go a long way and will be far more effective than raising your voice. Stop worrying about things you have no control over and rest peacefully knowing that you have done a good job. And you have been an umbrella and an anchor for those you love. And more important, they know it! Financially you are rarely satisfied but this week one or two problems are easily solved which will give you a boost.
HINT: Take a moment to tell your partner and/or mate just how important they are in your life
LIBRA (AIR)
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
Slowly but surely you have accomplished almost all of the goals you set out for yourself months ago. The journey was neither simple nor certain, but you managed, and managed extremely well. The people surrounding you now are those you have a bond with and who consider you family rather than friend. Financially you continue to pay strict attention to your spending but there are moments when it is just more fun to splurge a little.
Don’t worry all is moving as planned.
HINT: Give someone you care about a little more space, and they won’t go far away. The relationship is stronger than ever.
SCORPIO (WATER)
OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 20
Your intuition runs high and you won’t err by paying attention to your feelings.
Not everyone in your inner circle understands what motivates you or what your final goal is, but that’s just fine. They aren’t supposed to. Only those involved closely with you are privy to your private thoughts and plans and those people are more than a bit excited and supportive. Financially you have the funds to let loose a bit but only a bit.
HINT: Monday and Tuesday you may find it more hectic at home than you imagined so plan accordingly.
SAGITTARIUS (FIRE)
NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21
Try to be a little more patient with younger members of your family.
They can’t always understand just how overworked and exhausted you are. And, actually, they don’t need to. Professionally things are moving forward quickly and all your hard work is bearing fruit. Take this time to check what went right, what needs examining more and what needs fixing.
HINT: A conversation with an earth sign may not run as smoothly as you had hoped, but it is a minor thing and not something you need to worry or lose sleep over.
