ARIES (March 21 – April 19): Make the most of your progress. Your diverse interests could give you the knowledge you need to successfully complete complex projects. In the meantime, a loved one may have something special in store for you.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): If you approach a project with enthusiasm, you may quickly find that others are willing to help you. Reviving an old friendship may remind you why your relationships originally broke up and open you up to new friends.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): While preparation may seem limiting, it ultimately proves necessary. To get from point A to point B, you may need to have a plan or map in hand rather than just walking carelessly and hoping for the best.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Remember: the best things in life are the simple things. You may donate to a good cause, but you may want to make more practical contributions. You may find that true friends will support you in any situation when you really need them.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): The changes may also bring with them new rules. Your ability to listen to opposing views can improve your chances of success in new situations. Expanding your circle of friends can help you grow and thrive in a brave new world.

VIRGO (23 August – 22 September): Understanding and compassion are admirable qualities. However, be careful when negotiating one-on-one and signing contracts that may involve your finances, as there may be costly hidden agendas that you may not immediately notice.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Face the facts and understand what fuels your fantasies. Be careful not to let your imagination or wishful thinking lead you astray. Be disciplined so you don’t disappoint your employees or partners by missing a deadline.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): You may feel out of place in group activities or large gatherings because some of the people you meet may not share your ideas. If you are already in a committed relationship, a few ups and downs should not be difficult to overcome.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21): The commitments you make to other people can be a blessing when new challenges arise. Honor that debt and appreciate what you have already received. Repairing relationships is harder than building them.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19): Luck isn’t always on your side, so it’s okay to play it safe sometimes. Be extra careful with your spending and finances this weekend and you may have more time and money to try out new hobbies.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): You may be itching to experience something exciting and eager to prove that you are independent and dynamic. This could bring you into contact with groups of people who share your ideals or confront you with original ways of thinking.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20): Confirmation bias means that you may only notice things that support what you want to believe. Stop looking through filters and discover what is in front of you. Life can be wonderful if you don’t try to find fault with it.

IF AUGUST 16 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Perhaps you are motivated by the desire to lead by example and gain recognition for your leadership skills over the next week or two. However, in the first half of September, you might be too insistent on going your own way and cause unnecessary friction with others. In October, your imagination might be heightened, so it might be a good time to take a trip abroad or enjoy inspiring views on a relaxing and romantic getaway. Your practical skills might be in overdrive in November, when you’ll feel wiser about new projects, collaborations, and negotiations. In December, you might be tempted to break away from someone or something, but making changes might not be as feasible or productive as you’d like.
