This year, you become

more willing to

open up to dynamic

changes. You will take

risks more often, although you

will carefully weigh the pros

and cons. Nevertheless, if you

feel the risk is a good one,

you might leap in with little

information. If single, your love

life could be nothing less than

exciting. You might not find

“the one” this year, but you

will enjoy dating. If attached,

you might see your sweetie as

more conservative. Do not mix

up stable with conservative.

You might be rapidly changing.

Be happy they are there for

you. Taurus is even more

stubborn than you.

ARIES

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).

Even when negativity is

directed toward you, you

use it in a positive manner.

Somehow, you don’t feel the

sting that difficult people may

encase in their words. Keep

the reins on your imagination.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20-MAY 20).

You could be edgy with

a demanding boss or

authority figure. Transform

your edginess into a

strong conversation about

expectations. Mixed messages

could mess up your plans.

Make sure you are on the

same page as others.

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20).

You may feel as if you need

to be more tuned in to a

serious-minded relative or

friend. You often sense this

person’s judgment. Confusion

surrounds an interaction. Give

up your impulsiveness and

hang in there.

CANCER

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).

Your feelings come out when

dealing with a friend. If you do

not like what you want to say,

don’t talk. You will gain if you

think through the situation

more completely. The situation

is not a one-way street.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).

You might feel slighted. You

find that others are very much

into their own “stuff” and work.

Relax. These situations will

even out. A special offer could

come your way anytime -- even

today.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).

Reach out for more

understanding. You might

be coming to a significant

decision and would benefit

from all of the expert advice

you can get. You might not

always agree with what you

hear, but you do need to hear

different viewpoints.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).

One-on-one relating draws

interesting results. Someone

might say something that

could be raw or not thought

through. Don’t get in a tizzy.

This person will explain their

words later. You have nothing

to worry about.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).

It might be easier to defer

to others. You wonder how

everyone has become so

headstrong. Perhaps you have

been an excellent role model.

Maintain your sense of humor.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).

Pace yourself. You might

not be able to keep a rigid

schedule. At one point in the

day, a need for an extended

conversation becomes

obvious. Once you get past the

talk, your creativity surges.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).^

If you’re hitting a block, tap

into your creativity. You will find

that the answer lies within you.

A brainstorming session could

work as well. You are coming

from a solid base. Don’t worry

about what you might judge as

an ephemeral idea.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).

Even you sometimes get stuck

or wedged into a niche you

cannot seem to escape. At the

moment, you find it difficult to

take a leap of faith to create

more of what you want and

desire.

PISCES

(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).

Speak your mind, but try to

be as succinct and clear as

possible. Someone might take

umbrage at your words, but

most people won’t. Trust your

choices.
