PISCES: Feb 21—Mar 20
You’ve got to keep going at a time when your energy level is down. There isn’t much time or space for the emotional component either. When life gets like this, it leads to exhaustion and it makes it real hard to stay in the Joy Zone.
ARIES: Mar 21—Apr 20
Jumping the gun would be totally inappropriate in this situation. Your assertive tendencies lead you to believe that confidence is the only prerequisite for anything. This is one of those times when a little humility will get you more in the long run.
TAURUS: Apr 21—May 20
Things have panned out in ways that have made you glad you didn’t lose track of your faith. It’s been a true test of your willingness to let things be. If the last few months have been rough, you’ve just turned a corner.
GEMINI: May 21—Jun 20
As you contemplate the reality of a new horizon, last minute questions as to whether this is the right thing to do have become an issue. It makes sense to think twice in situations like this; but only up to a point.
CANCER: Jun 21—Jul 20
You keep doing your best to shine on everything. I suspect that part of you wonders how long you can keep it up. There’s a fine line between positive thinking and Pollyanna-ism. Stop pouring your heart into a person who doesn’t reciprocate.
LEO: Jul 21—Aug 20
Things would be going a whole lot better if your sense of superiority and/or entitlement wasn’t driving everyone around you nuts. Take a good look at what’s going on; whatever your truth or your path or your goals are, don’t lord things over people and don’t expect them to drop down and agree with you.
VIRGO: Aug 21—Sep 20
So much of what has gone down has taken away the bigger part of what makes you who you are. Accommodating people, giving everyone but you space to figure out what they want out of this, and adjusting your whole persona just to make it work has taken a toll on more than your freedom.
LIBRA: Sep 21—Oct 20
This is something that you would do better to let your heart figure out. Any attempt to apply logic to it will only confuse the issue. All of us go through times when there’s no way to explain to ourselves or others why we need to do what we do.
SCORPIO: Oct 21—Nov 20
The story gets more interesting by the day. You can’t figure out where you’ve been all your life because developments have taken you further into your wildest dreams. If things are hopping, it’s because everything is getting redefined.
SAGITTARIUS: Nov 21—Dec 20
Minor repairs will become major if you don’t tend to them now. Changing your mind regarding a big move has become an issue. Ignoring your intuition, hanging on or playing games will get you into more trouble than facing the truth could cause.
CAPRICORN: Dec 21—Jan 20
The next few months will see you growing toward a fuller experience of love. This will not exclude those of you who happen to be single; there are many types of love, some deeply in friendship and kinship, not just with people but with life itself.
AQUARIUS: Jan 21—Feb 20
You never thought life would end up like this. Welcome to the human race! Feeling like you don’t have a clue about how you got from A to B seems to be a collective issue these days. There’s no point in analyzing it; face it — you’re here.
