ARIES
Resist the urge to jump into something new without checking it out first for possible complications. Your natural urge to look before you leap may be hard to contain, but it will be well worth it. There is more at stake than just a possible bruised ego – loved ones will be affected by your choices. Your luck will change - for the better - if you practice some caution.

TAURUS
You’ve finally found some answers, but your work has just begun. Sure, there will be days where you feel discouraged and ready to give up, but hope is springing up all around you. Hang in there - through your tireless efforts, not only will you find personal rewards, but many others will benefit. You give back to society in more ways than you can imagine.

GEMINI
Your generosity of spirit is not lost on others. Remember though, that they are not mind readers, and you need to give them a chance to understand you, and give back. When loved ones or friends offer help, accept it gracefully. You are not an island. It’s time to admit that even you have weaknesses – you might be pleasantly surprised at just how much you are appreciated.

CANCER
You might feel a bit lost this week, but don’t worry, you’ll get through it. The answers you need will come to you once you take the time you need to do some soul searching. You’ve been taking care of others so much that you may have forgotten to take care of yourself. Do something you’ve always wanted to do - for yourself this time.

LEO
You’ve been looking to others for advice, but the answer lies in what you’re not telling them. Yes, we can be ruled by our secrets. It’s time to let it all hang out – not just what you want to reveal, but all those unsavory tidbits you’re afraid to talk about. Only when you give a trusted confidant the whole story can you begin to find the solutions you truly need.

VIRGO
Pretending things are fine when they really aren’t doesn’t do anyone any good. If someone has upset you, you need to tell them directly. It’s most likely just some simple misunderstanding, but it’s important to sort it out before it becomes something more serious. Your creativity will bring you to new heights of accomplishment this week. Trust your instincts.

LIBRA
Balance is key this week, but how do you juggle two opposing thoughts and eventually come to the right decision? The key is in those little details that are so easy to forget. You’ll find that something you’ve been putting off for a long time isn’t so hard after all. Look to those with more experience and wisdom to guide you through hard times.

SCORPIO
Your intensity is sometimes hard for others to understand, but rest assured, your intent is not lost on those who matter the most. Your deep feelings about someone are finally bubbling to the surface and soon it will all be out in the open. Trust that you will know what the right thing to do is, once the time is ripe. Love is about to bloom.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s time to crawl out of that hole you’ve dug yourself into. Your instincts are right – honesty is always the best policy. It’s time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and be honest with others, as well as yourself. If you’ve taken a wrong turn, admit it. Once you do, you’ll find that others will rally around you. Good luck is just around the corner.

CAPRICORN
Feelings of guilt about a loved one have been haunting you, and you may feel trapped with no escape hatch. Juggling work and family is will always be a struggle until you lessen your load and admit to your own limitations. If you can manage your goals and bring them more within your reach, success is on the horizon.

AQUARIUS
Someone close to you needs your help, and it is within your power to make them happy. Life may feel a little rushed, like it’s all going by so fast, but you’re just hitting your stride. You’ll find that you’re able to make the time necessary to get things done, if you roll with the punches a little and be more spontaneous. Important changes are coming your way.

PISCES
The pace is about to pick up dramatically and you’ll be pulled in many different directions. You are the touchstone now for those closest to you, and you may feel like you’re being spread too thin. If you can weather this storm, and show up in all the right places, you’ll prove to others that you can be counted upon when it’s most important. Once you do, it’s smooth sailing.
