Aries | 3/21-4/19

When you wake up from a bad dream, it might still seem real and frightening for a moment or two. And then you begin to come to your senses, and you realize it was just a nightmare, and it is over. Even so, that dark feeling can linger for a while longer. The same thing can happen when you experience something that is deeply upsetting in waking life, as may have happened to you recently. Now that it is over, Aries, you have to remind yourself that it’s over! Don’t let it reverberate through your thoughts and have power over you. You’re not going back there!

Taurus | 4/20-5/20

We live in an era of instant gratification. Want to talk to someone immediately? Dial their number. Want a quick meal? You’ll find prepared food at the grocery store or a drive-through. Need some vitamins? Order them online, and they may arrive the same day. Instant gratification has spoiled us. We don’t always appreciate things the way people did years ago. Something you’re striving for is taking a long time. Savor it. Recognize its importance. And when you achieve it, realize all that you did to make it happen. Some things are worth waiting for.

Gemini | 5/21-6/20

You may be looking for ideas for a new venture that could increase your stability and improve your financial outlook. If you have already put this request out there, Gemini, you may get some really great suggestions this month. Don’t discount one idea that comes from someone who doesn’t seem to have the right experience or who is very young, because they might be onto something that could be quite good for you. Go by the idea itself, not by the source, and follow through quickly.

Cancer | 6/21-7/22

You have been quite concerned about something for a while now, Cancer, possibly a money matter or your finances in general. You have been trying to be optimistic and to come up with ideas to improve the situation. Something you are working on right now might be extremely auspicious, although other people might think it sounds foolish. Do what you need to do, and don’t allow naysayers to fill your head with fear. You are onto something! If you maintain hope and keep trying, you will be able to achieve what you have been hoping for.

Leo | 7/23-8/22

On a very windy day, you might be worried that trees will topple and electrical wires will fall, creating a dangerous situation outside. Yet if you stay inside, you can be reasonably sure you’ll stay safe until the windstorm passes by. When you are going through an emotional storm – especially when someone is stirring up trouble – it might seem quite upsetting in the moment. You can take shelter by taking care of yourself and waiting for things to calm down. You are encouraged to do that a little this month, Leo. Don’t let someone’s temper tantrum get the best of you.

Virgo | 8/23-9/22

You have been worrying needlessly about an upcoming event or presentation, Virgo. You are concerned because it might be very complicated, and you are afraid of making mistakes. However, that will not happen as long as you prepare yourself, and you can certainly do that. In fact, with your natural organizational abilities and your command of critical thinking, you can be quite prepared without all that much effort. Use any free time this month until the time arrives to prepare yourself, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

Libra | 9/23-10/22

If you are feeling tired – either physically or emotionally – it isn’t a good time to have an important conversation you’ve been thinking about. Timing will be important, as will your state of mind, Libra. This can go very well if you are patient and you wait for the moment when you feel clear-minded, stable, and optimistic. Don’t rush things just because you are eager to reach a solution. Things will flow best if you take your time. This is not an urgent matter, so don’t handle it that way.

Scorpio | 10/23-11/21

You may be hoping that you can complete a current responsibility on your own, without any outside help. Yet you may keep putting this off because, deep down, you know that you aren’t there yet. There may come a point where you can be independent, Scorpio, but if you put it off for too long, you may weaken your position and risk failure. Rather than take a chance, ask for help. You may find that having help will not only result in success but will make the experience much richer.

Sagittarius | 11/22-12/21

You should be feeling more ambitious than usual now, Sagittarius, and your ambition will be met with opportunity if you remain alert. Whether you are looking for something in the area of employment, or your focus is on money, or perhaps you have an idea you would like to explore, you should find that opportunities will appear on your path if you put that energy out there this month. As you go along, be sure to establish connections with like-minded people and to take note of opportunities you might want to pursue later on. Good things are happening now.

Capricorn | 12/22-1/19

Whether you have the experience you will need for an upcoming opportunity or not, you do have something far more important to offer. You are unique, and you have gifts that are rare and perfectly suited for this chance, Capricorn. The rest of whatever you need can be acquired over time. Don’t give up a perfect chance this month just because there are things you still need to learn and experience, because that can be accomplished in time. The extraordinary traits you possess naturally, however, cannot be duplicated. Recognize your value.

Aquarius | 1/20-2/18

You may be so invested in a plan of yours that you want to ask others for feedback and advice, Aquarius. That could go either way. If you are looking simply for ideas that could help you to enhance and improve your plan, it’s a great idea. You can take what you hear and sift through it, applying only what you feel is best. However, if you are looking for validation of a plan you started out believing in strongly, that might be a mistake. Don’t let anyone shake your confidence this month. You are on the right path.

Pisces | 2/19-3/20

An idea of yours that once seemed absolutely brilliant is beginning to fade under continued scrutiny. When it came to you, Pisces, you were quite excited about it and ready to begin. However, someone may have expressed their criticism and given you reasons why it would fail or suggested that it’s silly, and you have applied more of a critical eye to it yourself. That means you have lost the magic you once felt, but you have to get it back. There are good reasons you felt the way you did, and you have to recapture that. This is still a fabulous idea.
