ARIES: Mar 21—Apr 20
Jumping the gun would be inappropriate now. Your assertiveness leads you to believe that confidence is the only prerequisite for anything. A little humility and the ability to go along with the program will get you more in the long run.
TAURUS: Apr 21—May 20
Things have panned out in ways that have made you truly glad you didn’t lose faith. If the last few months have been rough, the corner you just turned is about to show you that life goes better when we let our experience teach us what works and what doesn’t.
GEMINI: May 21—Jun 20
As you contemplate the reality of a new horizon, last minute questions as to whether or not 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. Second-guessing is usually a sign that the ego is afraid to grow beyond itself.
CANCER: Jun 21—Jul 20
You keep doing your best to shine everything on. 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.
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
What’s going on now is giving you the opportunity to reclaim yourself. So much of what has gone down has taken away the bigger part of what makes you who you are.
LIBRA: Sep 21—Oct 20
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. At this point, understanding your situation involves opening up to the idea that others will be there for you no matter what.
SCORPIO: Oct 21—Nov 20
Your story gets more interesting by the day. You can’t figure out where you’ve been all your life because recent 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
Take time to deal with the things you overlook. Minor repairs are bound to become major if you don’t tend to them now. Changing your mind regarding a move or other important shift has become an issue.
CAPRICORN: Dec 21—Jan 20
The coming months will see you grow toward a fuller experience of love. This will not exclude those of you who happen to be single; there are many types of love; you may find yourselves bonding as deeply in friendship and kinship.
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.
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.
