ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

A loved one is brusque because s/he's overworked. You know what that's like.  This should be grounds for camaraderie, not conflict.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

A sibling or close friend reveals something shocking.  Don't be judgmental.  Speak from the heart, not the moral high ground.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Sometimes the best way to appreciate what you have is to see it through someone else's eyes.  You're fortunate to live the life you're living.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Be everyone's upper today and make the rounds. Whether visiting neighbors or chatting with co-workers, your words of encouragement work wonders.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Something that began as a lark (or was it a dare?) grows into a true passion. What's even more wonderful is how it also makes you a better person.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

There's something to be said for "look but don't touch".  If you could have it, you'd be over it; yet anticipation leaves you in a state of fluttery excitement.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Sometimes being new to a situation allows you to catch things others miss.  Point out that gaffe or inconsistency and save the day.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Time to switch mental gears.  You could trip yourself up bracing for the worse when you should be anticipating the best.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You can overrule the naysayers, but you still have to deal with them.  Their concerns are valid and you should hear them out.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

A loved one asks for help, but you're reluctant because when you did this before it was a disaster.  Map out terms now and there will be no surprises.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

For someone who knows so many people, it's weird how little you draw on this valuable resource.  The wealth of their experience is yours for the asking.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Are you getting too full of yourself?  The Moon in egotistical Leo brings out your inner puffer fish.  Exhale.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

Most people avoid long shots, but not you.  You believe in making a running jump for the brass ring which is why you will walk away with it today.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

You assumed a higher up would protect your interests when the time came, so it's disillusioning to find s/he's a no-show.  It's OK.  You can look out after yourself.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Sum up what you have to say in two to three sentences. People aren't interested in reading the whole long email chain. You want to make your point, not hide it.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

You see the writing on the wall, but colleagues won't believe you.  Maybe it's time to let them decipher it for themselves?  You've been covering for them too long.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

A friend provides an assist.  You're grateful but also feel a little guilty for neglecting this person.  It's never too late to make up for lost time.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

You're doing it again.  Stop picking around for faults and undoing all the good you've done.  Sit on your hands if need be.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

People are signing on because of you, so this isn't the time for second thoughts.  If they believe in you then maybe it's time you did too.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Money is made available for you to use at your discretion.  Remember that the word is "discretion" and not "spend."

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You've been looking for an advisor you can trust.  Thankfully you find the genuine article today.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

A financial decision that lay further down the road is suddenly up close and personal.  Ironically it doesn't look bad.  It may even be a no-brainer.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Don't question something that's settled.  Stand by the decision that's in place and others will do the same.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Appearances are deceiving today.  That person you think is selling you down the river is actually trying to pull off a last minute rescue.

I get all kinds of crap for how I run my business. Most of it rolls off my back. After all, haters gonna hate! The one thing that actually gets under my skin, though, is when people say I’m sexist or not a feminist. I’m a single woman who runs her own business. Of course I’m a feminist! Does my strategy for romance acknowledge certain gender-based relationship norms? Of course it does! But, only because they’re the norm. Meaning normally that’s what my clients want and expect Read more →

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

Be open to a change in plans.  You could find something more worthwhile than what you initially set out to achieve.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

Keep in mind that it takes a few tries to get something right.  This isn't an exercise in futility.  It's called learning something new.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Just when you thought you had faded into the woodwork, you're singled out for praise.  This revives flagging spirits.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

You may not be looking, but people are certainly responding as if you were. Enjoy the attention.  And if someone catches your eye . . . who knows?

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

You said you'd be there when needed and now you're needed. What you deliver will be above and beyond the call of duty.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Past shortcuts come back to haunt you.  Thankfully you can still backtrack and do what should have been done the first time. Let this be a lesson for you in the future.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

There are big plans in store for you at work, but don't try to second guess them.  Wait and see what a boss or manager has to say first.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Why insist on a home run when you can bunt? Though not as showy, at least you get to first base. It's all you need to stay in the game.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You need to tie up a loose end because you won't have any peace of mind as long as it's left dangling. Plus you need to focus on the future now.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

You put a lot of time into spadework and it's paying off.  Don't stop now.  Build on your momentum and you'll take things to the next level.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

It's annoying when people don't stick with the program, but maybe you need to be more flexible?  Programs have been known to change and you don't want to be a stick in the mud.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

You get your answer, but it's more of a riddle than a definitive yes or no. You're intrigued and this is what will renew your interest and drive.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

You don't have to believe in something to make it happen.  Sometimes things happen by themselves.  Let nature take its course. You may be pleasantly surprised.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

If you have to correct the way people give advice (like their wording or "tone"), then you're not ready to hear it.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Going back and forth gets you nowhere fast.  Tell the other party you don't buy what s/he says, but you're willing to be proven wrong.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Thank heavens you're naturally empathetic.  Your sense that there's an emotional storm brewing allows you to defuse tensions in a timely manner.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Don't be so eager to lock in terms.  Not when the Sun sextiles Pluto. Be non-committal and watch the other party pursue you for a change.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

At first it feels like you've been left holding the bag, but crisis also brings opportunity.  You finally have a chance to show off what you can do.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Every big decision is made up of hundreds of tiny ones.  If anyone can connect the dots and see the grand design - it's you.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Your need to win is blinding you to what you stand to gain.  Take your pride off the table and you'll wind up with the entire smorgasbord.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

Covering for someone seems noble, but think again.  Why perpetuate a no-win situation that you could happily live without?

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

The terms of an agreement aren't as rigid as all that.  There is some wiggle room.  Keep up the back-and-forth and you'll find a way to make it work.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

An offhand remark sets you off today.  Is this person being underhanded?  Or are you being overwrought?  Chances are it's a mix of both.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Everyone feels the urge to reinvent themselves, but don't go too far. Test drive the "new" you with friends to see if you're still recognizable.
