Your sense of your own brilliance may lead you to trust in a triumph of your will, but your confidence is a bit inflated and can get you into big trouble. Handle authority gently. Intuitive hunches will soon prove helpful.

April 19 – May 20

Tripping over your religious roots? Patriarchal authorities from childhood may still intimidate you or act out through you. See where that’s coming from and focus on humanitarian ideals to rise above it.
