ARIES (March 21 - April 20)

Expect annoying delays for at least three weeks. Feeling more vibrant and romantic, you may consider a new commitment. Find a positive outlet for anger and review your spending habits. Saving might be more practical then spending. Cooperation is the name of the game with social contacts. Share your emotions with friends and pay attention to new suggestions. An opportunity to boost income may surface. Your courage to take chances will lead you in the right direction.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)

If instability or insecurity rocks you, faith, hope and contentment bring comfort. Make room for benefits, attention, affection and enjoyment. A sudden attraction or unorthodox relationship turns into something real and enduring. Perform a service that is helpful to others. For new ideas and projects try what direction is best. Join in group activities. If you need someone's advice, talk to someone you trust. There's a bright spot for those with romantic souls.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)

You'll have to balance forceful expression with sensitivity to get what you want without alienating others. A voice from the past may arrive, but there's a catch. Don't jeopardize your current situation unless you are single. Still think future, not past - and most importantly, think of yourself this time out. Apply the same strategy to money matters. Rash actions can take a toll on health, not to mention your wallet. Find an opportunity to reflect on what you want to build for your future.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)

Your feelings are intense, guarded, and perhaps unreachable by others, as you're not very direct in your dealings. Someone's wish to control doesn't sit well with you. If a new deal surfaces and you are interested, go for it; see what happens. Be original and join when invited. Shop for electronics and practical items.Try to maintain self confidence and focus on professional and career interests. These three will plant the seed of new beginnings. Goals, friendships, and group encounters.

LEO (July 23 - Aug 22)

Now's the time to reform your daily routine to include healthful habits. Making it a struggle to express yourself without angering others. You might seek a deeper involvement with religion or spirituality and perhaps you will find yourself channeling messages from your spirit guides. A partner's confusing motives require patience and understanding. A business deal is looking good. Try to avoid harsh words. A message will be hard to swallow.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept 23)

It's a good time to release analysis in favor of instinct that doesn't support commitments. Check legal arrangements. With someone's support, you'll contemplate heading off in a new direction. If you've been seeing someone new for a while and you're still not sure exactly where the relationship is going and when it might "pick up steam," not to worry. This will be the month that will provide answers to these questions. Saturn will take over and if that someone is in a uniform or authority, smile pretty.

LIBRA (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

Joint finances will be especially tricky. You can benefit from the assets of someone close to you. Plans, and friends, present barriers. If it feels like your practical ambitions are on vacation, so be it! There are many discussions of emotional situations. As you try to make sense of confusing people in your life, you may discover that you are the object of someone's affection. If you hesitate to pursue a liaison, assess the situation with a close pal.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

Communications slow down. Try talking things over without expecting a solution. You're in the mood to investigate a situation, and that could lead to a surprising adventure. Start being aware of things around you. The people in your life who are calm and practical are a stabilizing force now. Tempers? Mainly because you don't release anger in any way that's modulated, but rather let it build up until it erupts in volcanic proportions. Take a healthy respect for stress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

There's always a sense that someone is standing over you with a big stick, flinging criticism and making demands, and you dislike the fact that life feels too slow. Try to commit to your projects, apply the right amount of work and expertise and you will be able to manifest any goal successfully. Your mind is bright and perceptive, enhanced by an ability to sense out what, to most people, is unseen. Heed hunches. Be open to what is unusual and different: you never know where it can lead.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

Check defenses and insecurities. You'll become introspective and need to rethink and review methodically. Avoid making decisions that unsettle security. It may be an end of a long-term affair. You have a chance, though modest, to move in the direction of greater security in terms of home and property. It is time to take small steps forward with any projects you've got in mind. Someone's loving words help.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

I see headlines in your house of emotions. If you're feeling uncertain about anything there may be a good reason. Your intuition may be warning you about something. Don't sign anything for at least three weeks. Entertaining at home, and sharing time with loved ones will make you feel good. Nobody thinks of you as a worry-wart, or stress-filled person; yet you do worry, and things do irk you, especially when you've made an excellent suggestion and it is ignored. Decide that sometimes people must live out their karma or make their own mistakes.

PISCES (Feb 20 - March 20)

Can you follow your own urges and still be part of a team? That is the kind of question you've been forced to consider recently. Careers in the arts are very good for you, but of course, talent is essential if you are to be paid. Don't let fear cross you when you're thinking of all the unemployed actors working as waiters and if you must work at a survival job, you feel sad as though you're imprisoned or forced against your will to sacrifice your time and energy for nothing. Think of the animal kingdom and the nature of life.
