Aries
Someone to watch over you will be the theme of the year, and especially this month. Protection and understanding is what you seek. Your world will brighten when a certain stranger has left your life. There are ways to keep your private life separate from prying eyes.

Taurus
While it seems like life can’t possibly get any harder — relief is on the horizon. You will be the recipient of some seriously good luck. You will also get a break on a specific problem that has been worrying you lately. A man who is good at working with his hands will lift the pressure.

Gemini
A difficult period is behind you yet a more challenging one is about to start. Keep yourself free from worry by finding easier ways of handling stress. Clean out closets and old worries. A memory triggers an emotional response that ends up changing your life.

Cancer
You are entering a new phase of your life. While it seems, at first, like it could be your worst nightmare realized, there is also the potential for great things. Welcome chaos as a friend and work with it, not against it (else it get worse). Think in creative ways as to how to fix certain problems.

Leo
You’re overwhelmed by a recent reunion with someone you thought was lost from your life forever. Life never ceases to be surprising. Remember, though, you are not measured by how much you make or do — but by how kind you are. You’ve got to believe in your own goodness.

Virgo
A little distance makes it easier to see the long haul. You are going to be the rock on which all others depend. Why does life seem like it’s more successful for some and not so for others? Happiness can be defined by how little you worry throughout the day.

Libra
Popularity of a certain topic bothers you — you wish there could be more freedom of expression. A new career is about to open up. A conflict could produce fabulous results when all is said and done. Get yourself out of the house and see some of the town, especially when the weather is good.

Scorpio
A trying season has left you sorting through the residue. A person who’s trapped in the same groove for too long doesn’t quite know how to handle things when they open up and become more interesting. Someone drops a clue as to how they really feel. Keep tabs on where your money is going.

Sagittarius
Don’t forget to return phone calls. Someone has something they want to give you. An old friend reminds you of what you what wanted to do with your life. You’re on the verge of feeling ready to do that thing you’ve been wanting to do forever but never seemed able to find the time.

Capricorn
Usually, the good comes with the bad and the ugly, all at once. There are no guiltless trips, just as there are no solid colors — just shades of them. Your home becomes a question as to what’s going to happen next. You are in an all-or-nothing mood — wanting to move forward at the same time you want to retreat.

Aquarius
You’re caught betwixt and between — where do you belong? You can’t keep putting off things that need to get done — you’re only going to be able to postpone the inevitable until it swims up and bites you in the arse. So, why not save yourself the pain and deal with it now?

Pisces
Your easily changeable moods confuse those around you. Making life work becomes more difficult as you redefine what life is. Single out priorities. Leave room for mistakes. In the end, your time is the most valuable thing you have — don’t waste it. Make sure you’re getting back what you put in.
