March 20 – April 18

Invite some of your tribe over to your place for an informal supper and/or some fun and games. To avoid useless arguments, keep an open mind and listen to opinions you normally wouldn’t want to hear.

April 19 – May 20

Be willing to open communication with relatives. Accommodation will require difficult backtracking, and you may need to be willing to retract hurtful words. Maybe they should, too, but you’ll do better to forgive and forget.

May 21 – June 20

Make sure your accounts are all in order. That could require some outside help. Any discrepancy or outstanding bills could cause arguments with your partner or otherwise put you in a cranky mood, making it difficult to socialize.

June 21 – July 22

Feeling old and stuck in your job? It’s just a mood that will pass, so don’t let it poison your work environment. Focus on domestic finances and put aside some money for retail therapy. Finding bargains and staying within budget will be the most satisfying part.

July 23 – Aug. 22

Act like Garbo and go into seclusion – all the better to make a grand entrance later! Take the opportunity to charge your batteries, organize your private affairs and open your creative channels through meditation and relaxation.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Take some time out to fuss with stuff at home. The itch won’t go away yet, but you’ll go even crazier if you don’t scratch it. Don’t take on family unless you want to trigger an explosion you’ll have to clean up later.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Miscommunication and other little glitches seem to sidetrack things at work. Stuff happens, and it will all work out. Just don’t let it throw you. Focus on long-range planning and cultivating relations with colleagues.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

You can get a lot of attention for your outspokenness and your wisdom, but any mistakes in your presentation will be quickly noticed. Nobody’s perfect! The best way to be right most of the time is to accept correction graciously.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

Explore traditionally forbidden realms of eros and metaphysics, but not necessarily together. Take it easy. Your natural enthusiasm can take you over edges you’d rather move toward gently.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Doubts and worries about your relationship are more about you than your love. Trust and openness will help in the long run, although it could get messy with misunderstandings in the meantime. Sexual experimentation can help you deepen your partnership – or find one.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Be helpful to your colleagues, but hold back just a bit so as not to be overbearing. That gives you a rather thin line to walk, but if you can manage it, you’ll find opportunities in the long run for yourself and your associates.

Feb. 19 – March 19

Let work be fun. You can find opportunities to boost morale and productivity. Your approach may rankle the boss a bit – be ready to explain and negotiate – but, with some adjustment, your lighter style will prove helpful.
