March 20 – April 19

However important the argument seems, be very careful of words you’ll have to eat later. Charm in lieu of fact, if honestly presented as such, will backfire less disastrously. A past fling may return. Don’t mistake passion for love.

April 20 – May 20

Review your health and hygiene habits and any meds you may be taking. Better sooner than later. Any need for revision will become apparent, perhaps making you wish you’d taken that ounce of prevention.

May 21 – June 20

Your usual adeptness at flirtation seems to be on vacation. Although briefly incompetent in the sport of love, that fumbling may endear you to someone who’s looking for something more enduring than fun and games.

June 21 – July 22

Domestic misunderstandings can lead to lots of work, or can turn things around and clean up the muck at the root of the troubles. Pro-actively or not, be prepared to roll up your sleeves. The work may not be pretty, but the results can be!

July 23 – August 22

Misstatements, malapropisms, and other mistakes can provide unusual inspirations. With Mercury turning retrograde, everyone is doing a bit of verbal slapstick. Keep a sense of humor and turn it all to your benefit.

August 23 – September 22

If errors in the household accounts turn up now, accept them as blessings in disguise. Cleaning them up can be a major headache; be prepared for that. Anticipate improvements and savings down the road.

September 23 – October 22

Unintended double entendres and other trips of the tongue can be the source of great humor or minor embarrassment. Know when to laugh and when to apologize - and when to do both in games of seduction.

October 23 – November 21

Your worries about money are not entirely unfounded, but they are probably exaggerated. Trust your instincts as a guide to what you need to check on, but get material confirmation. Resist jumping to conclusions.

November 22 – December 20

Your real friends are the ones who can tell you when you’re getting too pushy. It may be time to trim your sails and reconsider your goals. Giving something up may be necessary, but you’ll feel unburdened once you really let go.

December 21 – January 19

Confrontation with authority can now seem like a grave setback, but it can also tell you where to clean up your act, proving to be a blessing in disguise. It may be weeks before you see the good in it. Be humble and patient.

January 20 – February 18

Welcome intellectual challenges that might make you reconsider old ideas. As you know, everyone needs correction now and then - even you! Let go of stale dogmas. Willingness to adapt and grow will give you powerful new visions.

February 19 – March 19

Whoever is spreading lies about your sex life is doing you a favor, even if that’s not the intent. If it gets really nasty, try to look more amazed and amused than insulted. Keep a sense of humor, and your reputation will actually be enhanced.
