Aries
Unrealistic plans for the future make you feel distrustful of certain people. Expecting help from others leaves you feeling isolated in a time of need. The only person you may feel you can count on is yourself — but the truth is, there are those who want to help and are waiting for you to ask.

Taurus
No matter how hard you wish you could ease others out of the pain and suffering they endure after a loss, they must go through it on their own. They’ll be grateful for your support and comfort, even if you can’t fix the problem. An upcoming celebration will be a lot more fun and easier than expected. 

Gemini
There will be many people who pass through your life — some you will remember and miss greatly, others you’ll forget quickly. Unfortunately, our ghosts will haunt us when we least expect it. However, romanticizing them will set you up for an inevitable letdown. Keep the peace with an elderly relative.

Cancer
A secret nags at the back of your mind and threatens to distract you from your work — you’ll be at a crossroads — which direction will you turn? Will you want to be giving or will you feel like retreating? It’s not all or nothing. A little bit here, a little bit there, next you thing you know the vessel’s empty.

Leo
It seems you can’t do anything right. You try to be generous, but inevitably you’re going to disappoint certain people. An upcoming adventure causes nervousness but you’ll find you’re an old hat at it once you get the wheels rolling along. Remember an old friend to help in your time of need.

Virgo
A new day is upon you. Plans you make in the next few days will determine the direction you plan to take your financial future — your romantic future, on the other hand, has never been more unpredictable. Take the adventures as they come, one at a time. 

Libra
Your expectations are too high. No one is perfect — and making allowances for imperfection makes your heart grow big. You also will find people can surprise you. No one is ever who he or she seems to be on paper. Keep looking. What is it that you’ve hidden away that is about to be discovered? 

Scorpio
You feel great frustration at not having a certain someone step up to the plate. Try as you might, no action is taken. There isn’t any way out of the maze — you must try new paths, blind corners, dark passageways. Eventually, all will work out to your liking. Patience, patience, patience.

Sagittarius
A recent disagreement with a loyal friend makes you feel like the ground beneath your feet will never be secure. Will life remain unpredictable? Will people always disappoint? Even still, you have a few good eggs in your life. A happy accident is an answer to your prayers. 

Capricorn
You may worry that time is running out — and that if you don’t act now you’ll be caught for the rest of your life in limbo. No one believes you about your intuition on a certain subject, but deep down you know you are right and that you will be proven so. It’s just a matter of time.

Aquarius
A recent discovery changes the way you think about things. You can’t push the square peg in the round hole — just as you can’t force cooperation where there is resistance. You’ll have to really use your brain for thinking if you want to create harmony in your home life. 

Pisces
An upcoming event you were looking forward to gets postponed or perhaps even called off for good. Don’t close too many doors; you never know when they’ll open again. Opportunity knocks when you least expect it. Keep running up that hill. It’s okay to drop the ball — it will bounce right back up.
