Aries (March 21-April 19): Direct your energies into constructive channels. Don’t be sidetracked by peer pressure. Avoid making under-the-table agreements because costly misunderstandings could ensue. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Inspiration and fantasies can be funneled into a framework for far reaching
future success. Your street smarts are in full flower so it is a favorable time to enter into intricate negotiations.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): It is said that frustrations turn into ambitions, like grit turns into a pearl. If so, your ambitions may grow by leaps and bounds. People may be exacting and expect the best from you.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The bird is the word. Your social life could become an albatross hanging around your neck that distracts you from what you should be doing. Focus on feathering your own nest.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep going. The person who says it can’t be done and goes on vacation may find someone else doing it when they return. All things are possible
and only a lack of imagination holds you back.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An abundance of nit-pickiness must be put to good use. Organize the pantry and alphabetize the spice rack if you want to have a good time. Work hard to remain above reproach.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Jump every which way but down. If you jump to get your job done on time as quickly as you jump at perceived criticisms you might get more accomplished. Develop a thicker skin.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Business trumps pleasure. A first date may seem like a job interview rather than a chance to know someone better. It is more productive to put efforts into your professional life.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Quit overbooking your life. You might
be on a tight schedule and crowd too much into a day. Taking on too much may mean that in the end nothing much gets done.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Might doesn’t necessarily make right. A hot headed spat can turn a relationship into a cold war. It is easy to be provoked a by a challenge or to turn a cold shoulder to kindnesses.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pushy people may push your buttons. You may feel you must spend money to compete on a level playing field. Cooperate with others even if it means sacrificing your own desires.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Make headway by keeping your nose to the grindstone. You may irritated by those who put too much pressure on you. Starting something
of significance now is not likely to succeed.
If January 18 is your birthday: You may be inundated with social activities and distracted from what you should really be doing throughout the next four to six weeks. In April you can more easily follow your dreams, especially if they involve financial security and material gain. Your shrewd business outlook will provide you with an anchor if you experience disruptions in your career or love life in July. The path of true love is never smooth, but it might be more erratic than usual in July and August. Try not to break off a relationship or make major changes, but if you feel a situation is truly unsustainable then wait until August when your luck is better.
