Aries-March 21-April 19
Now is the best time to finish up lingering projects, rather than starting new ones. The reason is that the energy is pulling at you rather than giving to you. Now is the time to plan, write and visualize new goals. Just stay patient and take it one day at a time. This will enable you to move forward soon and accomplish even more than you have dreamed of.
Taurus - April 20-May 20
You know what you want. The key to success is to focus your resources, energy and time, rather than scatter these most valuable commodities. It's your turn to shine. The increased energy available should be sufficient for you move your main goals along and experience a few victories. Just remember to stay calm when you are under pressure, and you will prevail.
Gemini - May 21-June 21
Focus on the things you love and protect your possessions and family values. Refuse to let negative attitudes pull you down to a lower level. You do your best when you are psyched up and feeling good inside. You will see positive increase in the next three weeks from unexpected sources. It's kind of like the universe sending you a blessing.
Cancer - June 22-July 22
Strive for a lighter touch in life. You don't have to do everything at once. Your unhappiness comes from taking on too many responsibilities and not finishing what you start. Stay true to your own beliefs. Don't let others around you manipulate you and bend you to their will. Develop an attitude "This is my life, thank you. I'm going to do it the way I want." This will earn you much more respect.
Leo - July 23-Aug. 22
Stay strong in your own beliefs, but continue to listen to trusted advisors as well. When you ask for advice from another person capable of giving it, you pay him or her an honor. It also demonstrates that you are coming from the heart, rather than the ego. This way brings you more respect, cooperation and help. If one plan doesn't work, regroup and try another until you get it right. Never give up.
Virgo - Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Your courage in the face of adversity is one of your strongest virtues. Keep on psyching yourself up every day by doing something fun that is just for you. This keeps you fresh and focused and drives away the blues before they have a chance to take over. This is a sign that you will soon be feeling more expansive and excited about new ideas that you wish to explore.
Libra - Sept. 23-Oct. 23
You have so much heart. You care so deeply. You are doing an excellent job with your life. Others admire you from near and far. Be sure to keep a sharp focus on your top interests and leave other less important things alone for now. Keep on searching for the answers to life's deeper mysteries. Reading, writing and studying should be some of your main interests. This inner quest is what makes you really happy.
Scorpio - Oct. 21-Nov. 21
Your energy is on the increase. Your stress level is down. You are happier inside. Why? Because you are taking a little more quality time for yourself. Plan to get away for a long weekend soon. You will come back feeling even more invigorated and alive. Your natural center is the heart. If you don't take care of your own emotional needs first, you won't let anyone else do it consistently either.
Sagittarius - Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Don't forget to keep your life in balance. This means that you don't take on new responsibilities unless you offset them with more quality time for yourself. This strong focus on balance and priorities will continue to work for you. Taking time for that exciting creative project will keep your energy high and moving in higher and better directions. Put some time and energy toward improving your home and surroundings as well.
Capricorn - Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Make a plan for the next three, six, nine and 12 months. You can only live one day at a time, but this will give you a strong sense of direction and focus. It will keep you from getting stuck or sidetracked on less important things. Evaluate which activities are fruitful and which are not. Stop placing energy, time or money on activities that don't bring some kind of positive reward.
Aquarius - Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Take time to read a few of the inspirational books you have accumulated. This increases your already strong spiritual knowledge. Maybe it is time to reflect on your main dreams for change and increase in the future. Go ahead; take the plunge and raise your life to new and exciting levels that bring much greater rewards.
Pisces - Feb. 19-March 20
You have been working pretty hard lately. Spend a little more time with family and friends. Begin work on a personal creative project you have been putting off. Your vision remains strong. Your high heart and desire for excellence is what keeps you going. You are used to balancing these different aspects of your life. You always seem to find that second wind and keep on moving forward. You never give up. This is your greatest personal quality.
