This year, you

manifest many of

your desires. If you’re

single, if you want

to change your status, you

will find an excellent reason

to! If attached, you see a

resurgence of more romantic

days, to your delight. You

and your partner both could

be surprised at your new

closeness. A fellow Leo adds a

lot of zip to your days!

ARIES

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).

At first, you might feel as if

you woke up on the wrong

side of the bed. Quickly,

you will feel otherwise. You

are clearly on top of your

game. Think of clearing up a

misunderstanding between

you and another person.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20-MAY 20).

Do not become too

complacent about what is

happening around you. Others

find you to be full of fun and

surprises at the moment. A

conversation starts up out

of the blue, allowing a new

beginning for you and another

person.

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20).

You feel better and better as

the day ages. A new beginning

becomes possible, involving

communication and/or

feelings. In the near future,

if not today, make sure to

connect with a friend from

whom you’ve felt quite distant.

CANCER

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).

Curb an innate possessiveness

or perhaps jealousy that keeps

coming up. A situation arises

in which you will be able to

root out the real cause of

these uncomfortable feelings.

With the knowledge that

ensues, you will gain more

understanding and control of

this uncomfortable emotion.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).

You could find yourself in an

irksome situation that you

might want to change. You will

have an opportunity to iron out

this discomfort and possible

misunderstanding in the next

few days. Use caution around

money dealings. Postpone

any decisions in this area until

tomorrow.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).

You could be very tired of

a loved one’s or friend’s

attitude of late. A new moon

encourages you to look within

and decide how much you

caused this issue -- honestly.

You will have an opportunity to

clear the air.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).

Zero in on a long-term goal.

You might not hit a bull’s-eye at

this very moment, but you will

in the near future. A friendship

plays a significant role in the

realization of this desire. Be

open to a discussion.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).

A must appearance is

inevitable. A boss or authority

figure wants to know your

true feelings and thoughts

about an important matter. An

unexpected twist with a close

friend or loved one adds more

color to your day.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).

You cannot imagine that

others will seem so friendly

and willing to pitch in after

their recent coldness. This

thaw in an interaction might

happen as soon as today, but

it will definitely take place in

the next few days. Meanwhile,

follow a whim!

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).

One-on-one relating draws

good results. A partner finally

hears your willingness to work

through a problem loud and

clear. You’ve possibly tried a

new approach to eliminate a

recent tension. Listen to the

other party.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).

Do not overthink another

person’s gesture. You could

easily misread what is going

on. Accept a gracious gesture.

Stay open to conversations

and some fun. You like the

potential opening you see.

PISCES

(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).

Focus on the quality of your

day-to-day life. You might want

to schedule a class in yoga or

head to the gym more often.

You might feel the need for

some other change to keep

your life more active and vital.
