Aries
Picture-perfect means it all looks all right from the outside, but how does it feel from the inside? You’ll have to manufacture ways to be happy and no one else is going to be as good at it as you. Don’t expect to find the four-leaf clover every time you go into the field.

Taurus
There is a bright spot to the universe but maybe we don’t always find it right away. Who knows better than you how to heal the wounds of the past? The details of a financial transaction make you very uneasy: can’t people just get it right sometimes?

Gemini
Foul play causes you some grief and anxiety but more importantly, you’re in an awkward position that must be rectified one way or the other. Once you figure out how to fix it, you can figure out why things are always so out of whack.

Cancer
You are about to be put in a position where you’re fighting for what you believe in. You must, of course, be ready to have lead feet, to dig your heels in and make sure you’re right. If you’re not right, you could be gambling a great deal and losing big.

Leo
Technical details are preventing you from getting from A to B. You must rely on certain people to do that work for you and when they’re too caught up in their own affairs it makes your life more difficult. Have patience, the important stuff will get done.

Virgo
Progress is sometimes a matter of opinion. What makes you put one foot in front of the other is the same thing that gets you out of bed in the morning and helps you get through the day. A romantic interest keeps drifting in and drifting out and you’re never quite sure why.

Libra
Behold the beauty that you’re able to create when you put your mind to it. Don’t stress the small stuff because the big stuff is always waiting to upstage it. At the same time, there isn’t a way to regenerate what is already lost.

Scorpio
You get tired of having to repeat the same thing over and over. You can’t do everything by yourself; you need help. You won’t get anywhere keeping secrets. Blab about your troubles to anyone who will listen, hopefully a paid professional.

Sagittarius
A short breather allows you to step back and rethink a recent decision. You still have time to change things so don’t fret. Besides, you’ll only grow old fretting. A new lease on life, that’s what it’s all about. Don’t freak out when a friend stops by out of the blue asking for a favor.

Capricorn
You must be willing to let go of old relationships – you must also be willing to open up your mind to other points of view. You see it your way and that’s okay, but it won’t do for the long haul. Experiment with different recipes and save up your money.

Aquarius
Just because certain people say it’s so doesn’t make it so. Rough seas at first, but eventually you’ll hit the calm. Soon enough you’ll have to confront that person who’s been driving you crazy and tell him/her what you really think. Be glad for your abundant talents.

Pisces
A new beginning introduces new considerations – how will you do this, do that, get that done, get this done? You’d float off the ground, never to be seen or heard from again were it not for the daily obligations that keep you on land where you really belong.
