LUCKY NUMBER: 10 PISCES FEB. 19 – MARCH 20 If you’re bored with superficial chat, try to connect on a deeper level on the 9th.

LUCKY NUMBER: 1 ARIES MARCH 21 — APRIL 19 Keep others in the loop this week; you’ll benefit from their input.

You’re happy to go along with other people’s plans, but make time for yourself on the 4th to stay balanced. LUCKY NUMBER: 2 CANCER JUNE 22 — JULY 22 You’re wearing your heart on your sleeve this week, which puts you in a vulnerable position on the 5th when dealing with you-know-who.
