March 20 – April 19

Take careful stock of who your friends are and what values bind you together. Then ask yourself what you can do for them or your community. In your service role, accept frustrations with good grace and learn from them.

April 20 – May 20

Juggling demands of career and family can be a real challenge, and both seem at odds with your current ideals and goals. Take some time out for meditative exercise, martial arts, biking or a long walk.

May 21 – June 20

You feel a need to assert your personal ambitions and your intellect. Thinking before speaking is more of a challenge than usual. What better set-up for disastrous arguments? Have faith in yourself; don’t waste time arguing with fools and stay focused on long-term goals.

June 21 – July 22

The role and value of sex cause you some confusion. How does your sexuality mesh with your ideals and life goals? You won’t much like the answers, but the incitement to think more about them, to adapt and grow, can prove very helpful.

July 23 – August 22

Your sexual needs are at odds with those of your partner. Demanding what you want only makes it worse. Focusing on more philosophical questions will strengthen your partnership and help put the sexual problems into perspective.

August 23 – September 22

Time out to meditate and relax is essential, but too much time alone can be a trap. Conflicting needs for social activity and quiet privacy can make both uncomfortable. Some simple, uncomplicated sex can help you find balance.

September 23 – October 22

The siren’s call of fun and games is distracting you from work that absolutely needs to be done. Give yourself a reasonable amount of play time with your partner or a good friend, which will make it easier to focus on your duties.

October 23 – November 21

Creativity and initiative should help your career, but such efforts are miscalculated now – not just at work, but also at home. Puttering around the house with everyday tasks can help you clear your head to focus better on your job.

November 22 – December 20

Defending your home turf can land you in some stupid arguments. Is there really any need for such defense, or is your wounded ego simply lashing out? A creative, playful response is probably more appropriate. Be nice!

December 21 – January 19

You’re feeling trapped by sexual expectations. Simply talking with your partner may aggravate the situation for now, but with hard work can lead to resolutions. Retail therapy (on a careful budget!) can help, especially getting something nice for your home.

January 20 – February 18

Impulse-spending can shock your partner, even if you’re on a first date. Be careful with money, but generous with speech. Saying what’s on your mind will make you more sympathetic to others. Listening and learning is even better.

February 19 – March 19

Your verbal outbursts right now may make solitude seem like a good idea. Watching your mouth is a better one. Too much withdrawal is not healthy. Set aside a little money and allow yourself an indulgent, impulsive luxury.
