Weekly stars

This week’s birthdays: Now through January you’ll be juggling a lot of different activities and making progress with a few. Then in February one giant endeavor takes your focus and you make quick headway. You could even find yourself with a new title in March. Creative financing helps you overcome blocks and do so in a way that’s more fun than if you had followed your original plan. A relationship gives you raucous days and romantic nights in June and beyond. Family bonds through travel in July.

Aries
March 21-April 19

People have been telling you “no” since you were learning to crawl. You’ve heard it so many times now that it no longer bothers you. It’s a necessary function in getting to “yes.” And the “yes!” you hear on Thursday is glorious indeed. Sagittarius and Pisces are mischievous contributors to your merrymaking.

Taurus
April 20-May 20

You are so powerful this week that you can reverse an insidious cycle of negativity that has gone on long enough. Make it your sole intent to improve the problem. Small steps will get you there. Find ways to feel just a tiny bit better about things than you did before. See what’s good and then look for what’s great.

Gemini
May 21 – June 21

You have used your influence for good. Through your persistent uplifting attention, the beings around you are growing and thriving. Oh, joy! Do be sure to focus some of that goodwill on yourself without seeing your acts of rejuvenation as some kind of indulgence. Recharge without rules Thursday and Friday.

Cancer
June 22-July 22

You get stronger this week by eliminating confusion. You think you must choose between a few different options, and you’re not sure which to take. The reality is that none of those options may be right for you. Watch and wait. When you’re sure, that’s when you should move and not a moment before.

Leo
July 23 – August 22

You’re being practical because you know it will inspire trust in the people you need and want to trust you. Privately you might think you can get away with taking more risks, but you’re willing to err on the side of caution if it makes a loved one happy, which it most certainly will. On Saturday you can let down your hair a bit.

Virgo
August 23-September 22

You experience a renewed sense of ardor and ambition, and this affects everyone around you. You can even change the opinions and manner of people who have proved in the past to be downright mean. Sneers will be reduced to blushes. Your positive contribution helps to raise the vibration of the planet.

Libra
September 23 – October 23

You’re excellent on the fly, adept at spontaneity. And yet, if you have the chance to practice for an upcoming event, it’s a worthwhile use of energy. Planning ahead may not affect the outcome of what happens except in one crucial way — you’ll feel better. Knowing you’re prepared, you’ll relax and be confident.

Scorpio
October 24 – November 21

Miracles will happen. These are not like magic tricks that are pulled off as a result of hours of practice at the art of distraction and manipulation. These are brilliant twists of fate that come about suddenly and naturally as a result of your doing the best you can and the universe responding to that effort.

Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21

What was once a hopping scene is now a ghost town — cue the wind whistling through the boards and coyotes howling in the distance. There’s a strange peace in this change, and you like it. You can now get a proper perspective on all that has happened and choose to be a part of the new scene, or not.

Capricorn
December 22 – January 19

You belong to a group that accepts and promotes you to an intoxicating degree. Things are so cozy there that while in the company of these folks you feel immune to the troubles that preoccupy the rest of the world. That’s why it’s so important this week to provide some kindness to those on the outside.

Aquarius
January 20 – February 18

You have the courage to see problems in a new light and move through them. Ernest Hemingway said, “Life breaks everyone, but some are strong in the broken places.” You are in that category, and you prove it this week by succeeding at and even enjoying the exact thing that once caused you so much pain.

Pisces
February 19 – March 20

Being one with the universe isn’t all bliss and pretty colors. It hurts sometimes. Your famous compassion once again has you losing yourself temporarily as you take on the pleasure and pain of those around you. It’s all worth it to you because the more your spirit expands the better you enjoy this lifetime of yours.
