Aries
Are you a character in a fairy tale or merely a character in a soap opera? As events range from surreal to sweet to downright melodramatic you understandably feel conflicted. When you truly know what you want, nothing will keep you from it. When it’s something you think you should want it will never fully satisfy you.

Taurus
It becomes increasingly difficult to do everything that needs to get done. Prioritize the important stuff from just the nagging stuff. Certain comfort foods bring relief, especially when they are made and eaten with loved ones. Cooking can indeed be an event.

Gemini
Hunting for some peace and solace generates conflict. When you’re pulled in too many different directions there’s nothing left of you. Your substance diminishes. Be direct with people and in the end practice the “so what?” philosophy when it comes to what others think of you. So what.

Cancer
Avoiding the truth can lead to a festering psyche that will eventually stink badly enough that you have to clean it out. And the only way you can clean it out is by facing the truth of a situation. Avoidance will stockpile your troubles.

Leo
A parting of the clouds above brings momentary relief while also giving you a clear path down which to head. You have your answers and you have your good luck break. Now maybe it won’t seem so hopeless. Visiting those who are extra special to you also gets it back into your head what life is really about.

Virgo
There are many different outlets that could aid in your expansion. When you’re thinking big and not getting bogged down you can actually make significant progress. There are messages trying to get through you but mixed signals are being received – to hear them clearly, you’ll need to open yourself up more.

Libra
Adventures await – could be costly on one level, beneficial on another. Weigh the pros and cons. Too many of us around – too few of you around. Bridge the gap. You are valuable to humanity when you apply yourself. So, nose to the grindstone. Nothing is ever achieved by staring at the wall.

Scorpio
Conflicts around the world bother you more than usual. Sensitivity is a good thing. Depression isn’t. If something isn’t working, fix it. If you can’t do it alone, get help. In short, it’s a time for reaching out.

Sagittarius
Contact and communication will help soothe your worries. Remember, nothing is ever for the rest of your life, though it sometimes seems like it. And there really is no such thing as wasted time; there are enough good things and important steps taken to make even the most regrettable decisions ultimately worthwhile.

Capricorn
The great ones say you can only really trust yourself. Depending on people who repeatedly let you down will just disappoint you, time and time again. Do not look for saviors – they are only around when you don’t need them. Do not look for miracles until you know how to recognize them.

Aquarius
Starting over from scratch can be frustrating, especially when you were already prepared to take on a new challenge. But you’ll find that new opportunities present themselves that otherwise wouldn’t. Your talents are about to be appreciated.

Pisces
You’re figuring out the key to life while also experiencing a very difficult transition. How do you go from being who you were to who you are? Acceptance, compassion and a little attitude. That will get you through. If that doesn’t work, there will always be distractions.
