ARIES Mar. 21 – Apr. 20

Aries, even though you need to concentrate, do not turn up the intensity so much that it becomes stressful. Take a break every now and then to unwind and get away.

TAURUS Apr. 21 – May 21

You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side, and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision.

GEMINI May 22 – Jun. 21

Gemini, you excel at thinking through decisions before making them. This careful approach tends to work in your favor, but some decisions can be made more quickly than others.

CANCER Jun. 22 – Jul. 22

Cancer, an important decision must be made in the very near future. Your judgement may be clouded by extraneous information, so try to block unnecessary noise.

LEO Jul 23 – Aug 23

You are at a turning point in your life and now may be a good time to make a few key changes, Leo. They may involve making new friends or exploring a new career.

VIRGO Aug 24 – Sept 22

Virgo, even if you have a lot to get done, you will be able to make decisions on your feet and adapt as the situation calls for it this week. Changes can come about quickly.

LIBRA Sept. 23 – Oct. 23

Actively explore any

impulses you may have over the next few days, Libra. You may not have the freedom for such exploration beyond this week, so act soon.

SCORPIO Oct. 24 – Nov. 22

Scorpio, some time relaxing seems like the ideal scenario right now. But you’re not prone to sitting still too long. Look for activities that keep you engaged.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 23 – Dec. 21

You are in your element this week, Sagittarius. Expect to be soaring on good vibes for several days. There is nothing pressing to pull you in another direction, so keep sailing along.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 – Jan. 20

Capricorn, now may seem like a good time to allow your imagination to run wild, especially if the going gets tough. However, you need to be fully present this week.

AQUARIUS Jan. 21 – Feb. 18

Optimism is always good, Aquarius. But you may need to look at all sides of the situation right now if you are to make an informed choice about something important.

PISCES Feb. 19 – Mar. 20
