Aries (Mar. 21 - April 20) 
Take yourself off the list, especially if you're sick of the junk cluttering up your mailbox, electronic or otherwise. There are books on how to do this. The daily misery is not worth putting up with. Open up to someone whose been distancing him/herself from you lately. Revelations abound.

Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 21)
Listen to the advice of a friend who has experience dealing with the specific challenge you currently face. Another facet of your life will be brought to the forefront, causing you to rethink some past choices, things you've given up. A minor annoyance turns into a big pain -- it should be dealt with before the end of the month.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21) 
The new path you've taken has put you slightly off-balance, particularly when it comes to scheduling time with family, sig other or best friend. In other words, you struggle with keeping your priorities in order. Develop rhino skin when it comes to putting yourself out there creatively.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
Bob Dylan once wrote: "If I'd have thought about it, I never would have done it." That will apply this week as your heart does battle with your head. This will be a time to do, not think. Say yes, move forward, allow yourself to progress naturally.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)
You are becoming more flexible as time goes by, surprising yourself and those closest to you -- was a time when you had to have it your way. You are also finding effective ways to deal with the challenges life drops on your door. You must be proud of yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)
An upcoming event brings mixed feelings -- on the one hand, you'll be eager to move on to the next level, on the other hand, you're worried it might dissolve on the spot. There's no way to know until you get there. One thing you must avoid: backing out. This is possibly a life-changer for you.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)
Spend this week cleaning out the clutter and you will find an answer to a problem you've been meditating on. You've lost touch with an element of your past -- the symbol will re-emerge from the depths of the mess. Clear house, clear mind, free soul.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
You should avoid contact with people who bring you down. Not everyone is able to keep up with your level of creative energy. Some will scratch their heads in confusion, some will observe to learn. Meanwhile, you should surround yourself with mentors who have something to teach you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21)
What happens this week will be a direct result of an event that occurred last week, through an attempt to possibly avoid conflict. Now you will have no choice but to confront it and maybe even be the one who comes up with a solution. Luckily, you'll be blessed with enormous insight.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan. 20)
Don't give it away for free. Remind yourself that your time is of utmost importance. So, while you find it easy to tell others how busy you are, it's not so easy organizing your own schedule in order to accommodate your own needs. It seems you never have enough time for the things that are really necessary in life. 

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)
You'll be starting a new project very soon, if not this week. You'll be tempted to feel overwhelmed. Just remember that you don't have to be excellent right off the bat -- you merely have to begin. This concept should make starting a lot easier. It's not about ego, but about acquiring knowledge.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)
You're learning how much easier it is to get the yucky stuff over with first, thereby leaving the fun stuff for the bigger chunk of the day. You have now adopted this philosophy in most areas of your life. You're getting really good at it, and in so doing, you're enjoying your time more.
