ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

"No pain, no gain" is an apt motto for you nowadays. Yes, you've been through more than your fair share of troubles but there's no denying that the prize is still worth it.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

What looks like a short-cut will only cut you short in the end. Stick with the tried and true.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Mercury turns retrograde right at a pivotal point.  You're going to have to take it on faith that what doesn't materialize now will at a later date.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Make sure you don't create a situation where you wind up catering to the squeaky wheel.  This could create animosity with those who feel taken for granted and deserve better.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

The planet of transactions reverses direction today.  Don't put out any more money until you've collected on all of past debts.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Oh, no!  Mercury turns retrograde.  But it's for your own good.  Instead of relying on your wits, you'll have to follow your heart.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

You can't stop someone from doing what s/he wants, but if you try being more lenient then this person won't stray.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

A desired prize goes to a rival at work.  Let it go.  This has nothing to do with you and your job performance.  It's all about balancing the scales.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You're going through a lean period when you will have to do without the usual amenities.  Belt-tightening now will reap enormous benefits in April.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Don't feel guilty pushing back a deadline.  A client may be disappointed, but it's all in service to doing the best job that you can.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Don't let a friend discourage you.  Just because things didn't work out for this person doesn't mean you'll meet with the same fate.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

A client or love interest suddenly drops out of sight.  Others would panic, but you know this person will resurface when it's time.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

You spent days rehearsing a confrontation, so it's a surprise when you compromise instead.  You look stronger when you don't fight to get your way all the time.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

Is a prize really worth the trouble?  Mull it over.  What looks like little consequence now could trip you up on the 26th.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

You're too invested in one outcome.  Listen to people's thoughts and ideas.  You'll know the right one when you hear it.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

You may not have been serious when you said you were looking for something new, but the person who responds today is sincere.  Check it out.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

A friend or loved one is moving up in the world and wants to take you along. Considering how long s/he's ridden on your coattails, why not?

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

You're so focused on the result that you're missing out on the process.  It's like a mystery novel.  What's the use of reading it if you skip ahead to the end?

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Just because you can't do it all doesn't mean it won't all happen. What looks overwhelming becomes manageable when you take things a step at a time.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Check the expiration date on foods and meds.  Life has been hectic lately and you don't want to take any chances.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

Things may be fine in your cubicle, but what about your neighbor's? Ask what's up.  You'll nip a problem in the bud.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Whether it's branding, incorporating, or registering a domain name, you'll want to make things official before the 29th. Your idea is too precious to leave unprotected.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Rein in self-sacrificing tendencies today.  There's no reason to pay a high price for something that will resolve itself given time.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

It's hard to tell if someone wants to be left alone or not.  Leave him be.  He needs to take care of a private matter on his own.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

You're looking at a situation all wrong. It's not your job to prove your claim – it's the other party's. Sit back and enjoy the song and dance.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

What's final is final. Take the offer that's on the table because you won't do any better.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

It looks like you've just been handed a victory. It's not exactly what you wanted, but it's the next best thing.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Loved ones sure have been moody lately. Give them space and they'll re-emerge from their dark corners soon enough.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

You won't be the only one thrown for a loop by today's surprise twist. That said, don't respond right away. Developments are already underway to rectify the situation. 

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Own your choices. Telling yourself you have to bend to circumstances isn't entirely true. You have final say and that's what's matters most.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Something that was on is now off again. You've had your fill of the other party's fickleness. It's time to walk away.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

No sooner does a certain someone bolt then s/he will want to return. This is fine by you because you've just been handed a tremendous advantage.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

Setbacks may say less about your fortune and more about the path you're on. If you don't believe in what you're doing then how can you expect the Universe to?

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Moon occultations of Saturn and Pluto are apt to bring out dark moods. Thankfully the Moon is the fastest moving planet so you'll be OK inside 48 hours.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

It's important that you stay the course. Don't let today's radical twist throw you – especially since it will wind up being much ado about nothing.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

You tried your best but it looks like a project or enterprise just isn't going to happen. Let it go. You've got other hopes and dreams worth pursuing.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

You couldn't wait to break free from a certain obligation.  And now that you are, you don't know what to do. Maybe you want to see what your "obligation" is up to?

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

You receive a boss or client's seal of approval. This is more than a pat on the back.  You can look forward to real and tangible rewards.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Say that you're interested, but still on the fence. You worked hard for others in the past.  It's time to see what they'll do for you in the future.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Moving forward means leaving behind what's safe and secure.  But don't worry.  The unknown will become familiar soon enough.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

There are hints of progress at work today.  Keep doing what you're doing and you'll soon see a break in the cloud cover.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

It's time to pool resources.  It's not something that you're comfortable doing, but what you and another party accomplish together is more than what you'd get done on your own.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Sheer determination and discipline enables you to go further than you ever thought you could before.  Every achievement brings new possibilities.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Your moral support is what's important.  Whether or not a loved one realizes his/her objective is secondary.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

Approach your goal in stages and you'll get a clearer idea of what you're capable of.  Expectations become realistic as your mastery of the situation improves.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Moon trine Mars gives you a confidence boost. Instead of feeling like you'll be asked to leave, you can relax and make yourself comfortable.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Helping someone else helps you in the end.  It's not what you initially planned, but it's nice to see how everyone benefits.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Seeing something through to the end isn't easy, but you'll be glad you persevered today.

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

A surprise hitch in plans stops you short. Save yourself grief and review details. A simple adjustment is all it takes.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

A Sun/Mars sextile shows someone giving you an assist with getting up and over a hurdle.  Everything that follows this will be up to you.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

You're being given a chance to let go of things that haven't been working and to pursue a new approach.  Take it!

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

A customer or client gets demanding.  Do the unexpected and accommodate. You'll see a mountain revert to its former status as molehill.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Sometimes you can come on too strong. Instead of pushing, why not let people come to you? Make them feel needed and they'll flock to you in droves.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

A vote of confidence comes from an unlikely source.  Not only does this remove a major obstacle, it breathes new life into an endeavor.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

You set the rules and colleagues break them.  Try using reverse psychology instead.  Don't set them and watch as they look around anxiously.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

You can provoke or diffuse a confrontation.  It's a question of handling.  Keep matters light and breezy and you'll soon see that no one's in the mood for a fight.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

Heed a warning.  You won't see how it applies right now, but you will be thankful for it later on. It's why they call it foresight.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

You were banking on one outcome.  Now it looks like there are alternatives to consider.  You need to reassess how to proceed from here.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Skepticism takes a holiday when someone you were sure would say no accepts instead.  Moreover this person wants to help.  Don't spare the requests.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Think about what you're truly capable of doing at work.  An accurate assessment of your abilities (more than ambition) leads to a happy fit.
