HOROSCOPES

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Strange things are happening, Aries. It may be better to go with the flow right now.

You might like the change that ensues, and the change in pace could be a positive.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Better days are ahead, Taurus. It’s just a matter of having a little patience and waiting a little longer for things to settle down. Start a new project to take your mind off things.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Make the most of time spent with friends and family this week, Gemini. You may need to step away for a little while, so cherish this time you get to spend with those you love. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone special is able to take a peek into your inner thoughts this week.

Their ability to see you so personally could reinforce your outlook.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You might feel a bit melancholic as the holiday season nears its end, Leo.

It’s understandable based on how much has been going on. Maintain a strong social calendar.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, generosity is an admirable trait, and now is a good time to indulge your love of helping others. Make a concerted effort to pitch in where your assistance is necessary.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 When one door closes, another door opens, Libra. Look at all of the positive things in your life and embrace the great changes that are coming your way. This is an exciting time for you.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there are so many things going on right now but you can still function effectively. The pace might be hectic right now, but things will calm down soon enough.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 A relationship is blooming, Sagittarius, and you’re not sure how you feel about it just yet. Take a few more weeks to work through all of your feelings..

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 You have an eye for deals, Capricorn. Even though you have been spending a lot this past month, you can’t resist a discount on some post-holiday sales.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Take a firm hold of your finances for the next few weeks, Aquarius. Overspending could complicate an important relationship if you’re not careful. Curb any purchases for a few days.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 You are not sure how to harness your artistic energy this week, Pisces. You might take a class or engage in a hobby that interests you. Redesigning a room in a home also might be an idea.
