Aries: Aries are known as the leaders of the pack. They prefer to initiate rather than complete. They are independent, have an upbeat personality, and bring excitement into other people’s lives.

• An old friend from long ago could contact you again this week. This person might bring great news that suddenly turns your life in a new direction. This could involve new plans for a project or possibly a new circle of friends. At any rate, you will certainly enjoy catching up and hearing what your friend has to say.

Taurus: Tauruses are all about reward and enjoy psychical pleasures, as well as material goods. They have an eye for beauty, tend to be good with finances, self-indulgent, and a little possessive at times.

• This week you may take a look around your home and see what needs improvement. A fresh coat of paint and some new window treatments and rugs will make a big difference. This will not only be sparked by your creative mind, but also by your need for something new. If you don’t have time for a big change but still want to do something, try bringing in some flower pots to brighten up your area. It might not be much, but even the smallest thing can make a big difference in a person’s attitude.

Gemini: Gemini love to talk. They are expressive, quick-witted, sociable, ready for fun, but can also be known to be two-faced at times.

• Family, home, and friends are on your mind this week. There may be an event that you attend because you feel like you have to but end up staying because you are having a good time with other community members. Sometimes you get so caught up in work and the daily hassles of life that you forget there’s a whole world outside of school. It does your heart good to take in a wider view and get to know those who don’t live inside your regular social bubble.

Cancer: Cancers take pleasure in the comforts of home and family. They love to nurture others. They are also known to be sentimental, emotional, sensitive, and to get attached very quickly to others.

• You tend to think you are a master psychologist. You don’t need to know people well in order to accurately size them up. But this ability could be temporarily lacking. You don’t sense much from those you meet, and when you do, their thoughts and feelings, what you pick up isn’t likely to be very accurate. Don’t worry. Your mind should be back to normal next week.

Leo: Leos love being the center of attention and have a desire to be loved. They are known to be impatient and egotistic, yet passionate.

• You usually tend to be outgoing and you love talking to others. However, this week you may feel far less social than usual, more inclined to listen than speak. There may not seem to be any real reason for this. Don’t worry about it or read too much into it. View this as an opportunity to hear what others have to say. You will be back to yourself next week.

Virgo: Virgos are picky, critical, and have great attention to detail. They are seen as innocent, dedicated, and witty, but can also be overbearing, self-destructive, and preachy.

• Even though you think of yourself as a rational person, this week your intuition is so keen that even you can’t ignore it. Rather than try to will it away, why not embrace the messages that bombard you? Give yourself this one week to embrace the possibility that you may have some ability that is outside of rational thought. There’s no harm in trying to understand the extent of your feelings.

Libra: Libras are kind, gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony, and peace. However, in their effort to keep everyone happy, they find it difficult to say ‘no’ to anyone, and as a result, they end up getting stressed.

• You may feel slightly bored and restless. If so, an opportunity may come your way this week that shouldn’t be ignored. You may have a chance to do something that will open your mind to all sorts of interesting possibilities. Just because you only have one life, that doesn’t mean you can’t fit many different lives into it.

Scorpio: Scorpios are seen as serious, known to keep their emotions hidden, are very intuitive, mysterious, and intense. They are known to have brilliant minds and be very controlling of the people and situations around them.

• Keep your mind on the present. As much as you’d like to be somewhere else, your daydreaming is getting out of hand. For now, it’s better to focus on any problems that make you want to run away and instead figure out how to face them head-on. Open a dialogue with anyone with whom you’ve had a misunderstanding and talk through it rationally. You will find this brings immeasurable relief.

Sagittarius:  Sagittariuses are seen as being curious and energetic. They are one of the biggest travelers among all zodiac signs. Their open mind and philosophical views motivate them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life.

• The world is in your favor this week and you can expect all sorts of wonderful surprises. You may enjoy a financial surprise or a new project may arise that piques your interest. Take advantage of any opportunities that come your way.

Capricorn: Capricorns are all about hard work. They are very ambitious, determined, conservative, helpful, and practical. They are good team leaders, are known to have a single-minded focus, but can also be resentful and suspicious of others.

• Passion is very much on your mind. Unfortunately, you have a lot to do before you can concentrate on those passions. Much as you’d prefer to put work off for another week, you really should buckle down and get it all done. You will be relieved to have it behind you, and you will be free to enjoy the evening pursuing other interests.

Aquarius: Aquarians are shy and quiet, but on the other hand they can be eccentric and energetic. However, in both cases, they are deep thinkers and highly intellectual people who love helping others. They can see without prejudice on both sides, which makes them people who can easily solve problems.

• You’re never at a loss for an opinion and this week is no exception. The energy of the week is showing that you’re happier listening to conversations than participating in them. You can’t help but smile at the misinformation that people are saying. Since no one has bothered to ask for your opinion, you aren’t about to offer it. Write down the problems instead, this way you can constructively get out your frustrations with the world instead.

Pisces:  Pisces are very friendly, so they often find themselves in a company of very different people. They are selfless, and always willing to help others without hoping to get anything back. They are characterized by empathy and expressed emotional capacity.

• Your more idealistic, romantic side is starting to have more control over your life right now, which bodes well for your self-esteem. Understand that when you see the best in everything, you automatically see the best in yourself and love yourself. People are going to notice you a lot more this week. The fact that you are feeling more beauty in your life will serve as an invitation for even more beauty to enter your life, so get ready.
