ARIES

March 21-April 19

Weekly Overview

If you’re looking for excitement this week, you’re gonna be waiting for the weekend – and creating your own before that may be a dicey situation! Take care of business (at a humane pace) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Note that you’ve got charm now; no need to try to be too flashy. Then the next couple of days may bring emotional challenges – it’s up to you to meet them with honesty and maturity, and find the positive path forward instead of, for instance, getting mad or getting even. When the weekend comes, it’s your time to shine – and to find – or further explore – your passion.

Career for August

On the 1st, your prowess at the office will be matched only by your prowess at operating the office espresso machine. You’ve got a foot on every rung of the ladder this month; big-picture ideas about where your workplace should be headed, as well as grace and panache whilst handling the practical, hands-on things that some people may think are beneath them. Make sure you’re getting recognition all the great work you’re doing. By the time the 5th and 6th roll around, you’ll be ready to initiate that career-changing plan you’ve been planning all along. The 10th and 11th, taking care of business is the key to success, and you’ll be happy to do it. Then, on the 15th and 16th, your ideas will be downright visionary; why not focus your attention on turning those ideas into reality? Chances are, by the 20th you’ll have changed at least some of them into hands-on, real-world, workable projects. You’ll be multi-tasking like a pro! The 25th and 26th, be sure to hit the gym instead of overeating if you’re feeling stressed out. Sweating it out is a much better solution than wolfing it down, now and in general. Physical exercise is going to come back into play on the 30th as well. Allowing yourself to shed excess tension and aggression in a healthy way will put you in top fighting form – get ready to take on a new month!

Romance for August

As the month gets going, get ready – cupid is on the prowl, he’ll be shooting a plethora of arrows on your behalf! Every time you turn around, there’ll be another love struck admirer trying to catch your eye. What can you do? When you’re as lovable as you are and the weather is as fine as it’s been, there’s just bound to be a whole lot of romance in the air. Enjoy it – you certainly deserve the attention! By the 6th, you’ll need to look beyond your own needs and focus on someone else’s if you want to make a certain relationship work. And you do, right? The 10th and 11th, try something you’ve never tried before. Whether it’s opening up about a tricky topic or walking up to somebody you find attractive and saying hello, doing something new is going to be key. The 16th, you’ll get by with a little help from your friends. They could be setting you up on a blind date or giving you some very useful advice, so keep your mind open. Your friends always have your back. And on the 21st, remember: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. This applies to love, and some other areas of your life as well! The 26th, conserve your energy if you’re starting to feel a little drained, but by the 30th, be ready to wrap up this very romantic month with a fast-paced physical workout. Tennis, anyone?

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Weekly Overview

Think – and act – fast on Monday! You can access awesome ideas and enact them now; especially in the romance department! And stay active, physically speaking, over the next couple of days in particular. Moving the body gets the brain going, and if you’re getting outdoors with a friend, even better. (Starlit walks totally count!) Then look out: Around Thursday and Friday, you’ll want what someone else has got. Green’s not the best color for your outlook; do something generous to rosy it up. And what you truly value is highlighted this weekend. Make plans that bring it all together.

Career for August

Oh no! It looks like you’re going to be one half of a power struggle on the 1st. It happens to everyone, so just remember what your fighting for and follow some ground rules. Don’t be pompous, arrogant, or self-righteous. Do be tolerant, and forge alliances or arbitrate whenever possible. Most importantly, hang onto those important attachments that have gotten you to where you are today. Stand your ground, but remember that getting what you want won’t mean much if you burn all of your bridges along the way. By the 4th, you can afford to relax a little bit. Chill out over a nice long iced-coffee break, crack some jokes with your colleagues and try to leave that power struggle behind you. The 8th, could bring some very intense emotion over where you’re headed next with regards to your work. Are you feeling insecure or uncertain? Try to get a handle on your motivations so you can make informed decisions. The 12th and 13th, you’ll gain a whole new perspective on a project, thanks to some very helpful input from an intern. Be sure to give credit where it’s due. By the 19th, you’ll be ready to back off a little when it comes to getting your way. Good things come to those that wait, as they say. The 23rd, stick to the present tense when making plans. Long-term considerations can wait for later. Then, on the 28th, tolerance is your keyword. On the 29th, kick off the weekend with some teambuilding at work. Whether it’s a barbecue or beach volleyball, camaraderie can only help.

Romance for August

On the 1st, you may have to take a step back and reconsider a few of your romantic alliances. Are you just a little bit too loyal to an ex? If they don’t watch your back the way you watch theirs, perhaps it’s time to put some distance between you. Friendships that used to be more can make for dicey waters, so if the drama level has become more than it’s worth, take stock and evaluate what you’re really getting out of it. Then, draw some new boundaries or just walk away. Focus on bringing new love into your life, and stop tethering yourself to the past. By the 3rd, things will be looking up way up in the realm of romance. Somebody new and fresh could appeared on the scene and leave you with butterflies in your stomach. By the time the 7th and 8th roll around you may be so smitten you can’t see straight. Are you feeling a little jealous? If so, take a little time out on the 12th to do some grounding exercises. By the 17th and 18th, you’ll be ready to implement your new romantic strategy in a highly effective manner, but on the 24th, don’t let them push you to go faster than you’re ready to. If they want to take things to the next level, at least consider it, but know your limits and stand your ground. Then, on the 30th, end the month with a very romantic date.

What could be better? Nothing! By the 3rd, you may have to concentrate a bit less on being suave and a bit more on being thrifty. Make sure everything in your financial life is in order so you can go back to focusing on your romantic life. Then, on the 8th, don’t let your ego run the show. It almost always slips up when it comes to romance. Instead, take a step back and let them be number one this time. By the 13th, you may want to reconsider your means of seduction. Suave is great for the beginning of a relationship, but you have to let your guard down at some point and show them who you really are. The 18th, stay grounded. If you have any radical ideas about how you’re going to retrofit this romance, back off for a little while. By the 21st, you’ll have a whole new perspective on your dynamic with your partner (or potential partner). Stay as open as possible to any lessons that are there to be learned. On the 26th you’ll get started down an exciting new road when it comes to how you interact with your love interest. Good for you! The 30th is a good time to revisit your finances.

SCORPIO

October 23 – November 21

Weekly Overview

Give a little – or a lot – on Monday. Doing a good deed or letting someone have their way feels surprisingly great! Then don’t beat yourself up about a decision over the next couple of days. If it’s already made, what’s done is done; if you’re trying to choose, give yourself some wiggle room. Maybe the right choice is just around the corner – which is totally true if the stars have their say! From Thursday through Saturday, you should be skipping joyfully along your life (and love!) path. Enjoy the present to the fullest extent, but on Sunday, do consider the future.

Career for August

You might find yourself smack dab in the middle of a great big career crisis on the 1st! Take a deep breath. Take another deep breath. And another. Now exhale, and take a look at the situation one more time. It’s not actually a crisis, is it? It’s just a problem that, like any other, is solvable. And who better to solve it than you?

Once you solve it, you’ll have boosted your confidence in your ability to navigate any obstacle that might pop up along your career path.

Be careful taking risks on the 11th. Then, on the 14th and 15th, try to stay receptive to the radical new ideas your hearing about. You’ll be in a much better position to make the necessary changes if you don’t insist on going through the world with blinders on. The 20th, if you have a choice between picking a fight with a coworker and going to the gym, go to the gym. In fact, given the choice, you should always pick the gym. Take those frustrations out on the treadmill, not your officemate. Your intellect will be sharp on the 25th, and on the 29th, you should plan your next project. It’ll be a winner!

So when, on the 1st, you have a moment that makes you think it’s not worth trying anymore, don’t give up! Romance will pull through in the end. Just give it a little more time, and in the meantime, go for a nice run or walk around the neighborhood to clear your head. By the 3rd, you’ll be back in a more positive frame of mind. The 7th and 8th will be downright thrilling for you romantically. Have you finally met somebody who really seems to get you? Does their presence in your life brighten your day?

Just make sure they’re being as upfront with you as you’re being with them on the 11th. By the 15th, an interaction with someone in your family could give you a new perspective on some of the ways you tend to handle your romantic relationships. The 20th, make sure you get to the gym. It’s the absolute best way to work out any aggressions that could otherwise cause some friction. On the 25th, try not to be too controlling, and on the 30th, do someone a favor. They’ll love you for it.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22-December 21

Weekly Overview

Save it on Monday – the answer you’re looking for (or an even better one) is much more likely to come around Tuesday and Wednesday. Your timing will be better across the board, with both work and more personal relationships looking good. Try setting your knee-jerk response to ‘why not!’ But over the next couple of days, you might want to drop out of sight. Time alone’s a fine idea now, as long as it’s productive instead of purely escapist. You’ll be happy-go-lucky again when the weekend comes – free-form fun is favored. Crash a party or create one on the spot!

As the month begins, you can hardly believe your good luck! Sure you’re traveling a lot for work, but you’re getting frequent flyer miles, and assignments in all kinds of exotic destinations, and really great luggage at a really great discount. This is a pretty terrific time in your career, so pack those bags and make sure to take advantage of all the good times to be had on the company dime. The 4th, your boss could throw a temper tantrum, but don’t let it ruin your fun. They’re probably just jealous that you’re doing all the fun stuff while they’re stuck at the office, so be forgiving. By the 8th, you may want some time alone. Make plans to check in with yourself – even if that means taking ten minutes to sit alone in the bathroom stall. By the 12th, money may be an issue, so you’ll want to make sure to double-check your financial statements. Is everything adding up? You don’t want to let an incorrect charge on your credit card slip past your attention now. By the 15th, a lot of new ideas will be coming your way; prepare yourself to be open-minded. Then, on the 20th, get some exercise! Generating a little sweat could really help you come up with a few new ideas of your own. On the 25th, spend the day chatting it up with potential investors, and the evening communing with yourself. Wrap up the month with a very thorough examination of all your expense receipts on the 29th.

Romance for August

On the 1st, you’ll have the good fortune of running into somebody who you really like who really likes you back. A pretty positive way to start the month, wouldn’t you say? Take advantage of this positive development, and tap into some of the excellent summertime energy surrounding you. Notice just how blue the skies are and how warm the breeze is and how green the trees are as they blow gently in the wind. Guess what? Noticing all of these beautiful things will make you all the more attractive. The 5th, you don’t have to make any decisions you’re not ready to make. Give yourself the day off when it comes to emotional developments, and go for a nice long swim. By the 10th, you’ll be all smiles, and things could get romantic. Bring along some candles when you meet up with a special someone after work. Instead of hitting the bar, take a picnic down to the waterfront and enjoy a candlelit evening for two. The 15th, don’t get too discouraged if things don’t go exactly as planned. Sometimes things aren’t as simple as they they should be, and that’s okay. On the 20th, you’ll be craving stability. Then, on the 25th, stay cool, calm and collected no matter what happens. The 29th, your optimism will pay off with a really exciting romantic development.

CAPRICORN

December 22-January 19

Weekly Overview

If you’re looking to make a connection as the week gets going, don’t wait – you’re clicking with others on Monday, whether it’s at work, at home or at play. Over the next couple of days, however, the responses and results you’re looking for might be elusive. Try dealing with the little stuff, and let the rest of it slide, just for now. Your star power will return starting Thursday, so make a choice, make a move and make progress that’ll feel fantastic. And when the weekend comes, you’ve got more possibilities than you can possibly imagine. Embrace your world.

Career for August

On the 1st, you may run into a small obstacle at work. Maybe your internet connection is painfully slow. Maybe you can’t access the files you need. Or perhaps you just can’t find your stylus. Whatever that is, put as much effort as you must into resolving the issue. After all, small obstacles can create big headaches if you don’t take care of them in a hurry. On the 5th, you’ll be ready to call it a day and head to the museum by noon. So what’s stopping you? Finish up all your need-to-do work, then head out early and spend a lovely late afternoon in the sculpture garden! The 8th, spend the day getting organized. Then, on the 11th, perseverance is the name of the game, and it’s a game you’ll be playing to win! On the 18th, don’t forget that self-expression is just as important at work as it is in your private life. Don’t be afraid to tell it like it is – you could shake things up in a good way.

Somebody may overreact to something on the 26th, but try to ignore them. The 29th, wrap up the month with a big achievement.

AQUARIUS

January 20-February 18

Weekly Overview

Have a certain party get specific on Monday – assuming it’s all good could lead to problems. Then over the next few days, give something or someone a chance that you normally wouldn’t. You might be surprised by how it sparks your imagination or just makes you feel good. Work’s likely less than optimal around Thursday or Friday. Find a way to make yourself useful, both for your own morale and for those who’ll take notice. And the cosmic energy is much more progressive for you this weekend. Seek out some stimulating stuff and you’ll be entertained and mighty entertaining, too.

Career for August

What is the single biggest issue in your career? Are you worried that you’re not working enough? Are you worried that you’re working too much? Are you concerned about where your career is going? Do you worry sometimes that it’s not going anywhere at all? Or maybe everything is going too far, too fast? The 1st is a good day to consider these questions and then start to experiment. Stop letting the big questions paralyze you. Instead, try doing things in some new ways. They may or may not help, but even the things that don’t actually do, because they teach you what not to do. On the 6th, you’ll be feeling intellectually connected in a way that you haven’t been for quite some time. Then, on the 11th, it’s high time for you to connect with a few like minds. Get together with some solid people so you can cross pollinate ideas; something wonderful is sure to result. On the 15th, things will be going so well that you may forget that you were ever worried about your career in the first place. But when the 21st comes around, don’t forget that the past is there to learn from. The 25th, there will be some serious electric energy in your vicinity; tune in to make some big changes easier. Then, on 29th, make a compromise that lets you finish out the month feeling grounded.

Romance for August

This month, you’re going to be dealing with one issue from beginning to end: Compromise. Particularly when it comes to romance, compromise is key. After all, if you can’t tell each other what you need and find a happy medium, it’s going to be awfully difficult to have a happy and fulfilling relationship. Fortunately, you know this, and summertime is a great time to get started. Everything is growing, and you can take advantage of the natural energy around you to put ideas into action. The 5th and 6th, connect with your partner. Checking in on relationships is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. The 10th and 11th, get outside. You’ll be feeling great, and the wide open summer skies will be perfect canvas for losing yourself in thought. The 16th, expect a lot of romance. Good news – it’s grounded in real love. Then, on the 20th, take a great idea and turn it into your next dinner date. The 25th, you’ll have an electric day, but on the 30th, it will be time to take a serious look at what’s happening underneath the surface. Subterranean emotions have a lot of power – especially when they go unacknowledged. Explore what’s happening inside before you get started on a new month.

PISCES

February 19-March 20

Weekly Overview

Your mind’s working overtime on Monday, and what you’re coming up with could ultimately be very useful. Just hold off on the sharing part. Over the next couple of days, what you say will come across much better. Take advantage of room for improvement at work – and otherwise – now! Speaking of work, watch it on Thursday and Friday. Approach any deals with a skeptical and thorough eye. And when the weekend comes, the only thing you should take advantage of is an opportunity to do what’s right. You’ll totally know it when you see it.

Career for August

On the 1st, remember that your physical health is as important to your career as your financial health. After all, if you ignore your physical well-being, you’re not going to perform at your best and that will negatively impact your earning ability. This month, take advantage of the beautiful summertime weather to recommit yourself to taking good care of your health. Try to workout on a regular basis, even if it means skipping out of work a bit early sometimes, or a taking a longer lunch. It’s going to pay off in the long run, and in the short run too – your clarity of mind and energy levels will improve almost immediately once you get started. On the 5th and 6th, staying healthy will mean addressing a few problems in a professional relationship. Your mental well-being is an important aspect of your health as well, so take care of these issues before they fester into something that upsets you on a personal, as well as professional, level. On the 11th, stick to your guns, even if the higher-ups think they know best. Then on the 15th, tune into your daydreams. You could well find some new business plans lurking in those ephemeral thoughts. The 21st, you may be receiving the professional equivalent of a love letter; somebody thinks you did a really good job! The 26th, you’ll feel fantastic, at work and in general, and by the 29th, you’ll be more than ready to take on a few new projects.

Romance for August

Romance is just one piece of the complex system that constitutes your health. This month, starting the 1st, it’s time for you to start put your health first. That means taking a serious look at romance and the role it plays in your life. Then look at love and the role it plays. Is there a lot of overlap between love and romance? Hopefully, the answer is yes. Of course, love is a very large category, and romance is only one part of it, but romance without love – or at least the possibility of love – can be unfulfilling and stressful. As you consider all of this, make sure you’re really following through on your health commitments. Are you working out regularly? Are you eating a balanced diet? After all, loving other people has to start with loving yourself. The 5th and 6th, think long and hard about a partnership that isn’t really working. If it’s a romantic relationship, it might be time to cut the ties. Then, on the 10th, look before you leap. The 15th, tap into your dreams to achieve a better understanding of some of the subconscious issues that may be driving your romantic decisions. The 17th and 18th should be quite romantic. Don’t think too much – just take the time to enjoy yourself. The 23rd, don’t worry if things aren’t crystal clear. Then, on the 28th, check back in with your diet, exercise and emotional state. The 30th, wrap up the month with some truth-telling.
