This week’s birthdays: Your gratitude paves the way for a year of many blessings. The next 10 weeks see you extremely motivated and fantastically lucky. Wherever possible, apply your energy to a single purpose. In November, necessity makes you brave, and your relationships reflect this, deepening in profound ways. There’s a metaphoric bridge to cross in February. You may never go back, but still it’s unwise to burn it. Family receives new additions in August. Business booms in September.

Aries

March 21-April 19

Ruled by Mars, you’re usually impulsive, daring and dynamic. However, playing the opposite just for a few days will be extremely effective in getting what you want. There’s something so compelling about you when you’re demure, unsure and coy. Loved ones delight in the surprise of your many different tones.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

Your heart is open and your intentions good, though there are logistical obstacles that may prevent too much social connection from going on this week. You have a lot of work on your plate, and it will be hard to strike a giving mood unless you put your livelihood first. Besides, your own business will be quite fulfilling.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

Your job is to bring someone into your world, to convince them to take on your cause or champion your project. Let your intuition lead in this endeavor, and you’re brilliant. You’ll artfully construct a set of expectations in the mind of your subjects. And then people see in you exactly what they expect to see.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

People who are moving at a different pace from the rest of the pack need your help. The ones who are in a rush will find that contact with you gets them centered. And you invigorate those who are feeling sluggish. It feels good to give of yourself, and there will be unexpected payoffs for your kindness.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You want to be liked as much as the next person, but you’re not about to go to extravagant measures to change someone’s opinion of you. Or are you? Your current situation is unique. A dollop of good will would make life easier for everyone. A big gesture from you might be warranted. Your smooth charm can’t miss.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

There’s so much going on to distract you from your business. In order to stay interested in you and what you are doing, believe in the importance of your mission, whatever it may be. And if you don’t have a mission, choose one and stop worrying. Any mission you choose will be the right one for you.

Libra

September 23 – October 23

Everyone has insecurities, most of them similar to your own. Knowing this, you might decide to drop some unhelpful belief about yourself and write it off as a weakness strictly of your own perception. There is an African Proverb that states, “When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.”

Scorpio

October 24 – November 21

Your unique charms and personal charisma have been drawing people your way in droves. Well, maybe not droves, but you must admit you’ve added quite a few characters to your life lately, and you’re now busy finding a place for all of them. Saturday’s stars favor getting everyone together at your place.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

With so many fleeting opportunities of the “buy now” and “this offer will end soon” variety available, you’ll find someone’s open-ended invitation quite refreshing. You’re irresistibly drawn to what feels true, like unconditional love. You’ll feel better about the choice you made when you weren’t under pressure.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Along your travels, you have been gathering a store of ideas and people you admire. This is the ideal time to create something tangible to help you possess the qualities you desire. A vision board, creed, fantastic diary entry or ritual of your own making will help you pay homage to the new you in development.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

You feel positive about your abilities, and it shows. The confidence and ease you demonstrate during a difficult task will encourage others to give you overdue props. Higher-ups recognize your value to the company, and loved ones afford you the small niceties they should have been giving all along.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

You’ll see those who have the stellar attitude and realize how you might be thinking and acting differently. It’s not a competition, just a guidance system. You know who you want to be and the universe is simply showing you fine examples. Of course, you’re unique and will succeed in your own dynamic way.
