H o R o s c o p e
ARIes
(March 21 - April 20) : You have strong
humanitarian instincts, Aries. You think
of your fellow humans more than most.
This, combined with your intuition and
empathy, makes you well suited for the healing
professions. If you've felt a bit disgruntled at work
lately, it may be that you're in the wrong career.
Consider training as a counselor or therapist. You
would be good at it and help a lot of people.
TAURUs
(April 21 - May 21) : You've been more
thoughtful lately and truer to yourself.
This is due to your recent introspection.
You really can change your life. All it
takes is time and commitment. You've made great
progress in your development. Continue on this path
and you will wind up in a much better place. Keep your
eye on the goal, but don't be so focused that you forget
to enjoy the journey.
GeMINI
(May 22 - June 21) : You're feeling confident
and more comfortable in your own skin than you
have in a long time, Gemini. You're so
accomplished, why are you the last one to
acknowledge it? Try to look up from your desk long enough to
socialize with friends and loved ones. You've been so focused on
work that your relationships may have suffered a bit. Spend some
quality time with those you care about, if possible.
cANceR
(June 22 - July 23) : It's time to loosen
up, Cancer. The planetary aspects bring a
new cycle of tolerance and
understanding your way. You could use a
bit of both. Take baby steps as you introduce the
kinder, gentler you to your friends and co-workers.
They won't accept a rapid transformation, but they
won't mind gradual changes. Listen more and speak
less. This can make a big difference in a relationship.
Leo
(July 24 - Aug. 23): Remember all
those resolutions you made in the past? It's
time to recommit to them. All signs indicate
that you need to take better care of yourself.
You've been so busy working that exercising has begun to
feel like a luxury you can't afford. Actually, exercise and
proper nutrition are luxuries you can't afford to ignore.
You're burning the candle at both ends. Stop before you
burn out completely!
VIRGo
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): This is an
auspicious time for you, Virgo. It gives you the
energy and enthusiasm to make the necessary
changes in your life. There is a lot of work to
do, but you're up to it! First focus on your relationships. Your
loved ones don't care about your professional successes. They
want (and perhaps need) to spend more time with you. Do
what you can to bring your life more into balance.
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): You have
tremendous creativity inside you, Libra.
Have you begun to use some of it? This
creative cycle will last for the next month
or so. Don't let it pass without taking advantage of it.
Use the other side of your brain for a change. Take up
sketching, painting, or fiction writing. What you do is
less important than doing something. The simple act
of creation unlocks the brain.
scoRpIo
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): Get excited because
this is going to be one great day!
Everything will go your way. It will seem
as if you simply can't lose. At work, team
members look to you as the leader. At home, family
members express gratitude and affection. You may be
tempted to try this luck at the casino, but don't be
impulsive. You're already a winner. You've earned this
shining moment.
sAGITTARIUs
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): This is a good day for quiet
contemplation, Sagittarius. You may have
worried about finances lately, but there's no
longer any need to concern yourself. All signs
indicate that your financial fortunes are about to change. You've
been working hard and should reap some rewards. Today's
aspects suggest that you will. Enjoy your newfound peace of mind,
but don't go out and use the credit cards in celebration!
cApRIcoRN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): Capricorn, you're bound to
enjoy this day! It's full of possibilities and
opportunities. It may begin routinely, but
keep your eyes and ears open for hints of
change. Your new adventure may come about in a
mundane way. You might meet someone in line at the
store who becomes a business partner. Or maybe you will
meet a romantic interest at the ATM. Adventure is all
around. Trust that you will find it!
AQUARIUs
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : Forget about work
for a change and focus instead on your
love life! This is one area that can really
use some attention. There's no sense
waiting for your partner to do it. It's up to you. Why
not book a romantic weekend? It will do wonders for
your relationship and add spark just by anticipating
the fun you will have. Your commitment should
mean more than your independence.
pIsces
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : You greet the day
energized! Your confidence is at an all-time high
because of recent events. You have every reason
to be proud of what you've accomplished,
especially at work. But your love life could benefit from the same
level of commitment. Why not be proactive? Arrange a romantic
evening for you and your partner. What a difference a few hours
can make in your relationship!
