Aries

Mar 21 – Apr 20

Prepare for a feisty social dance. Be your natural self but try to tread lightly as power plays may loom. It’s better to be authentic and true to yourself than to manipulate a situation. Find strength in intensity, as by maintainin­g this balance you’ll be truly empowered. Rise, shine and conquer!

Taurus

Apr 21 – May 21

There may be a wobble in work and home affairs. Power issues could show up, but if you can detach you’ll find that the idea of control is a mirage. Let passion fuel your profession­al duties but don’t let it take away peace. Work to live, don’t live to work.

Gemini

May 22 – Jun 21

The Moon-Pluto link can set the stage for an intense mini-drama. Disagreeme­nts loom large, testing your wit and will. Firm up boundaries with wisdom. With careful dialogue, your words can help uncover the truth. True strength lies in conviction, clothed in compassion.

Cancer

Jun 22 – Jul 23

Financial waters could get choppy, with disagreeme­nts over money and business bubble up and need attending to. Even so, be wary of manipulati­on’s sly caress. Don’t let others invade your space. A craving to splurge whispers, so resist it. Security lies in knowing when enough is enough.

Leo

Jul 24 – Aug 23

The spotlight falls on intense interperso­nal dynamics. Strong disagreeme­nts may reverberat­e around you but wisdom reigns supreme. Firm up your boundaries with the finesse of a regal ruler. Try to make decisions with your heart. Let your words be of courage, not of conflict.

Virgo

Aug 24 – Sep 23

Undercurre­nts stir in your workplace as disagreeme­nts may bubble up, threatenin­g to disrupt your schedule. Listen to this cosmic nudge and try to unwind. Your inclinatio­n may be to sort, fix and perfect, but the stars encourage you to unwind. Let the world turn while you relax, Virgo.

Libra

Sep 24 – Oct 23

Ready to make strategic social moves? Your sensitive side may take a backseat, as you’re driven to focus on your needs rather than doing what your friends want. While it’s admirable to pursue your passions, avoid tipping the scales. Tact is your default mode, so use it wisely.

Scorpio

Oct 24 – Nov 22

Is your work and home life one big juggling act? Your family may want to see more of you and you might want this, too. You may want to run a business from home so you can dwell in both worlds. Don’t rush into anything, as you’ll soon sense if it’s feasible.

Sagittariu­s Nov 23 – Dec 21

You stand on the cusp of conflict and opportunit­y. A sensitive issue simmers and could ignite. Your task? To quench flames with your natural brand of wisdom and ability to see the bigger picture. In your quest for knowledge, use your optimistic outlook as a shield, Archer.

Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20

You may be tempted to splurge but it’s probably wise not to. Now is the moment for fiscal wisdom. No matter how compelled you are to buy something, hold back for now. You’re often known for your discipline­d approach to life and yet you could be let down by a bad move.

Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19

The air crackles with the tension of differing opinions and it can all become dramatic. Tread with care, as your words carry weight. Use them to make bridges rather than cause rifts. It’s possible to stand firm in your beliefs while embracing diplomacy. Patience is your ally!

Pisces

Feb 20 – Mar 20

Is your daily rhythm ripe for change? A reshuffle can help you carve out more quiet time. This cosmic call to declutter your schedule is due to a deeper wisdom at work. Use this opportunit­y to breathe space into your days, allowing the subtle voice of your inner self to be more clearly heard.
