Aries
You're movin' on up when it comes to the career ladder, and it couldn't be more
timely. Keep in mind, however, that 'moving up' doesn't necessarily mean the
corner office and a raise (although those things are likely in store). It could
also mean more time off, a change to a different office, fewer working hour or
being able to work from home, all of which add up to a much higher quality of
life. In the end, that's what truly counts.
Taurus
The word 'confidence' comes close to describing you right now, but it's not
enough. You're so self-assured that people just assume you've got most of the
answers and defer to you in nearly all matters. It's a lucky thing that you've
got the goods to back up the attitude. The stars help you shed the last traces
of hesitation and take a leap of faith. Your willingness to lay it on the line
and leap into a make-or-break decision will reward you handsomely.
Gemini
It's vitally important that you believe in yourself in order to achieve success,
especially during times like these. Why now? Because you may be surrounded by
those who adore wallowing in negativity or whose 'objective' opinions are
actually colored by their own agendas. The stars are drafting a blueprint of
your future, and paying attention is of paramount importance, especially when it
comes to the details.
Cancer
It's extremely frustrating when you feel like major decisions are in other
people's hands, but what you may not realize is that this actually works in your
favor right now. If those offers involve unfamiliar terms or tempting extras,
you're better off having steadier heads working for you in strange territory. Go
ahead and discuss your needs with your representatives frankly, have some faith
and wait to see what they come back with.
Leo
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. In other
words, your luck is about to take a spectacular turn for the better, and you can
happily put away any lingering problems that have been on your mind for far too
long. Before you pack everything in mental bubble wrap and put it away forever,
make sure you examine each of these past conundrums and remember the lessons
they taught you -- you don't want to have to learn them again!
Virgo
Your passions heat up deliciously and just in time to revive a cool period.
However, along with those heightened emotions comes a hair-trigger temper.
Remember to keep the heat where it belongs -- raising the temperature of your
relationship -- and don't let it rage out of control or leak over into areas
where it'll cause a lot of easily avoidable havoc. Try to keep your jealousy in
check, and it will keep your love from flaming out.
Libra
Your imagination is one of your richest assets, but it's important that you
don't let it spiral out of control, especially when it comes to romantic
matters. It's pretty easy to get so caught up in fantasy that you convince
yourself it's real. Take some deep breaths and ground yourself in reality before
you make any decisions or commit yourself to something that might have many more
layers to it than you originally assumed.
Scorpio
The situation is stellar right now, thanks to your own efforts and those of your
lucky stars: Work is gratifying, your wallet is full and you're in love (or
about to fall). However, the one surefire way to tempt fate is to take things
for granted, or to let your ego get out of control (yes, your hard work and
efforts had a lot to do with this -- but not everything). Remember to be humble
and remain diligent so you'll stay ahead of the game.
Sagittarius
Nix any wallflower tendencies right now, no matter what. You may not be totally
at ease in the spotlight, but the spotlight sure loves you, especially during a
moment like this. You've been working behind the scenes for far too long, and
it's time to step out on center stage and take your bows. You don't have to stay
there long -- just give the people who love you a chance to acknowledge how
fantastic you are, okay?
Capricorn
A loved one might be grumpier than usual and determined to pick a fight. Don't
let yourself be bullied. Just because they're in a bad mood doesn't mean you
should have to suffer. Tell them kindly but firmly that they need to deal with
their emotions in an appropriate manner. It's time to hold people accountable
for their behavior. If you keep getting walked all over, now is the moment to
get up and stand up for your rights.
Aquarius
Take the direction you know is best for you, and leave all self-destructive
paths behind. In fact, go ahead and erect barriers and 'No Trespassing' signs,
if that helps remind you not to tread ways that ultimately proved to be
unhealthy for you. Some might accuse you of being 'too good' for your old
friends or old ways, and they're right -- you're far too good to waste yourself
on behaviors that wreck your potential. Your instincts are wiser than any
outside influence.
Pisces
If you haven't learned
this romantic lesson yet, the stars are about to make you write it on the
chalkboard 100 times now to drill it through your head. It's time to speak up
for yourself in relationships and not sublimate your own needs. Aren't you tired
of being 'nice' and 'good' to get someone to love you? Wouldn't you rather be
your own honest, funny, intelligent self -- and be loved for that? How
liberating! Uncomplicate a romance and level with your partner.
