Aries
You get a lesson in humility that turns your mind around on a certain subject. Someone asks for help and you feel a reluctance to go down that road again. Selflessness, if overdone, leads to selfishness. And neither, in extreme, is a good thing for you.

Taurus
A picture makes you feel a lot better about life because you’re able to see real progress. Your hopes were fading and just when you needed the lift, you got it. Your talents, which have been put on the back burner, find a new and more enjoyable outlet.

Gemini
You are continually conflicted about which road to take. Your feet are made for walking but you don’t know for how long. Don’t suffer needlessly – sooner or later you’re going to face up to what you’ve known for a long time: release your need for control – let the chaos reign.

Cancer
Examine more closely what you obsess upon and think hard about what you want. Is it immediate gratification, is it utter devotion, or is it kindness? Your wants and desires are out of whack. You’ll always lose if you focus on the one thing continually.

Leo
Once you have help you’ll be more organized. You have to broaden your reach – you have to make your ideas more accessible. If you already accepted a raw deal and you think you’re done for, it’s at least worth a threatening letter.

Virgo
A showcase of choices presents itself and you feel a certain amount of confusion going in. Deliberate mistakes can sometimes get you off the hook. An upcoming event promises to reunite many of your old friends. You need to see more of them to remind you of your past.

Libra
Abandon what has been tying you up for so long. Struggle for freedom and keep up the fight until you find peace. Take special care of a gift someone offers up as a symbol of friendship. Let loose the ships of bitterness and regret that are still lingering in your harbor.

Scorpio
Take a holiday from your troubles and spend some time just thinking. The answers will start rolling in and the worries will fade. What’s worst than sitting around meditating on the bad stuff? Preventing the good stuff from coming your way, that’s what.

Sagittarius
Re-connecting with an old friend reminds you not to let go of your daydreams of fame and glory. You have already have 50% of what you’ve been looking for – now you’re after the other 50%. It will mean some risk-taking and it will mean being open to hearing what others have to say.

Capricorn
Keep your priorities straight. In truth, the only real way to get something done is to do it yourself. People are only willing to help so much – but it’s your stuff – you are its manager and parent – only you can make the decision to let it go.

Aquarius
Doing what you have to do has simultaneously frustrated and inspired you. You feel two ways and both are valid. The good news is you’ll be happily rewarded tenfold. The bad news is you’ll have to endure a few more jerks along the way.

Pisces
Focusing on one characteristic that drives you nuts is a sure way to lose sight of the big picture. Broaden your view. Your chances for finally settling down have just gotten a lot better. Take your time and make the right choice. Don’t get backed into a corner.
