It’s a really good innovation and the sooner you implement it, the sooner everyone around you will benefit. It’s important to trust your instincts. You’re a well spring of invention. Believe in your abilities. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You’ve been guarded for so long that a friend trying to reach out may feel at first like an assault. Let your defense down before you are accused of friendly fire. Take a deep breath and allow yourself a vulnerable moment today. It could lead to a potential advancement. JUNE 21-JULY 22 If you’ve been noticing a pattern of sleeplessness, it’s important to get your schedule back on track before next week. If necessary take sleep aids. Sometimes lack of sleep is because thoughts are wrestling within and causing anxiety. Learn ways of relaxing before bed. You are capable. JULY 23-AUG. 22 A personal tweak is necessary if you want to advance further today. It is not a drastic change, but correcting a bad habit now will make the future a much smoother road.

You have the wisdom that is required. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 There’s a relationship with loved one that needs your nurturing attention. You’ve been a bit neglectful because you’ve been wrapped up in your own agenda. Today, reach out and take a more active position. You both are so good together, it would be a shame to see it fray. a OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Someone’s offended you at the office and you may have been nursing a grudge for too long. Today is the day to let it all melt away. When you let things go, you are freer, more graceful in your moves and such a stronger competitor. Stay on top of your game. No pettiness can distract. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 There’s some issue that’s been lingering in your household like an uninvited guest. It’s time to rid yourself of this pest for good. When your foundation is unflappable, you stand stronger and people easily fall under your commanding spell. When you operate at your best, you’re truly an unstoppable force. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Your work has been all-consuming. Taking some time off will give you the perspective you’ll require when you get back at it next week. For now, focus your attention on your loved ones and in other directions. When you come back to the problem, you’ll have an answer. Time and space are essential. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Sometimes surrendering is the only option. It’s not necessarily backing down for good. It is just for a moment. Peace is hard to obtain so, even for a few rare moments, allow it to happen. You’re not weak. You’re wiser than you give yourself credit for. It takes courage to submit.
