HOROSCOPES

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you have a certain energy that is building this week.

Momentum increases the second you stop overthinking, so jump into whatever you were planning to do with two feet.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Something cozy, such as a hobby, recipe or routine could turn into something surprisingly productive, Taurus. Don’t dismiss passion projects this week when comfort meets opportunity.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, your words equal magic this week. Conversations open doors and can help clear up confusion about important topics, even about budding relationships.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Peace will look good on you this week, Cancer. You will be exuding quiet confidence.

It is a good time to organize your space or schedule a spa session. Relax as stress levels drop.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 The spotlight is yours, Leo, even when you are not trying to be in it. This is a great week to share ideas, pitch something creative or post fun content on social media.

Your focus and follow-through is all based on trusting your instincts. Someone in your circle is noticing your efforts.
