This week’s birthdays: It’s a significant year in your personal development. The next seven weeks show you in an extremely active stage. You stop yearning for what you want and start acting. Connections you make in January are both unexpected and fruitful. You’ll be flummoxed by the choices before you in February, until one career move happens and everything else seems to fall into place. A central relationship develops sweetly in June. Providence moves on your behalf in August.

Aries

March 21-April 19

Napoleon Bonaparte said, “Ability is nothing without opportunity.” The trick is in seeing opportunity, which is an ability in and of itself. You possess that gift so strongly now, especially Thursday through Saturday, that you notice for the first time an opportunity that was there all along. Pisces helps in this matter.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

Relationships can be complex. Loving one another is the simple part until suddenly loving one another becomes the hard part. You’ll be in both phases over the course of this week, but whatever stage you’re in, keep doing the work to build strong love. The road evens out by Friday and your personal life is a smooth ride.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

You’ve learned your social savvy the hard way with lessons that made you impervious to the same slights that would knock others off their game. After all, why take offense when none was meant? You’ve learned how to focus on the positive. You’ll be helping friends, especially the overly-sensitive ones, do the same.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

To be in a relationship with you is a commitment to self-improvement. You’re constantly seeing how those you love can learn and grow, and sharing information to help them do that. Knowing when to push and when to back off are important this week. There is much that people simply must find out all on their own.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

Contrary to what some people think of you these days, you’re not entirely perfect. Of course, you’re still the one who is the hardest on yourself. Around Wednesday little missteps could cause you to obsess, which cut down on your productivity. Really, you’re doing fine. Reward yourself to reinforce all you’re doing right.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Your body will talk back to you this week. Take preventative action, such as using a headpiece on your phone to keep you from kinking your neck. Go easy at the gym. Stay within a gentle physical regime. It’s not the time to force your body into new and potentially awkward positions.

Libra

September 23 – October 23

The process of getting along is different for everyone you know and it changes through time. What created harmony yesterday could create dissonance today. Surrender to the process of relationship building knowing that it cannot be perfected, only enjoyed. You will never stop learning to love well.

Scorpio

October 24 – November 21

Thoughtfully schedule ahead. If you don’t have enough activities on the books, you will be tempted to obsess over details that are ultimately meaningless. Too many activities will cause you to lose focus entirely. You don’t want life to blur by you! Get balanced. Let your highest self be your social secretary.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

You don’t know what’s going on next door, though you have an inkling. The neighbor’s business holds a peculiar fascination. You’ll find yourself preoccupied with such for most of the week — that is until your own pressing business takes priority. Soon tales from the house over yonder will be a dim dalliance.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

What is it about those people who get to live their fantasies that intrigues you so? Your thinking patterns are ingrained to the point that it’s almost impossible to see the world any other way than the method you’ve been seeing it for years. A Scorpio may change all of that, to the same degree that you are open to change.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

In the past, you’ve held the opinion that having a back-up plan is for people who don’t believe enough in the first plan. However, the times have changed. Right now, contriving another route might give you the security you need in order to really go for what you want. Write it down — that’s what makes it real.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Oh, the personalities you’ll be navigating this week. If only people could be as spiritually attuned as you. But that would require them to mind their own business, find their own inner strength and not lean so heavily on others, namely you. Lucky for them, you’re extraordinarily generous with your wisdom this week.
