For week of June 7

Aries, your ambition will take you to new places this week. Channel your energy in a constructive method to make the most of this renewed vigor.

TAURUS: Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, now is the time to do slow and steady work, rather than experimenting with new methods. You’ll have time for fun and some trial and error later on.

GEMINI: May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, for some reason you feel compelled to get started on something new in the next few days. This may be a job or a relationship — only time will unveil the secrets.

CANCER: Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, you will need to take an intellectual approach to solving what has been troubling you recently. Lists and careful consideration might be necessary.

LEO: Jul 23/Aug 23

You have to approach someone who hasn’t been doing his or her share of the work, Leo. Tread gently because there could be a very good reason why this person has been floundering.

VIRGO: Aug 24/Sept 22

Open yourself up to a new line of thinking, Virgo. There are many different possibilities that you may have overlooked before now. Try to expand your horizons.

LIBRA: Sept 23/Oct 23

Embrace spontaneity this week, Libra. It could turn out to be something exciting and fun, which is just what you need at this time in your life.

SCORPIO: Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, take a step back and allow an upset family member a little breathing room this week. It’s best not to add fuel to the fire in this particular situation.

SAGITTARIUS: Nov 23/Dec 21

Get out and try to meet some new people, Sagittarius. Constantly add to your collection of networking contacts, because you never know when you’ll need to call in a favor.

CAPRICORN: Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, though you can see quite clearly what you need to do this week, you may have to refrain from taking any action for some time. Try to be patient a little longer.

AQUARIUS: Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, things have been going your way and you are getting more and more excited about the future. This influx of enthusiasm is just what you need.

PISCES: Feb 19/Mar 20

Your big ideas are highly valued, Pisces. Let others know what you are thinking and don’t be surprised if others ask for your advice.
