ARIES (March 21 – April 19): Don’t let yourself be tied down prematurely. Spontaneous promises or impulsive changes affecting your wealth could backfire during the course of this week. Relationships could seem complicated by differing opinions.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Stick to your sensible plan in the coming week, as impulsive changes could affect your budget and lead to heartache. The strategies you have developed to deal with your situation may need to be reconsidered and adjusted.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): It may be a good idea to manage expectations in the coming week. A smart strategy to keep your loved ones on your side might be to promise less and deliver more. Take your time to find something that feels just right for you.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Staying connected with your friends can give you the emotional security and stability to try something daring. Listen to your heart to find out how best to avoid risks. At the beginning of the week, nothing may be as easy as it seems.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): In the coming week, you may be tempted to accept an invitation to join a group or organization. New friendships might spark an interest in a hobby or activity that becomes an engaging and passionate pursuit for a short time.

VIRGO (23 August – 22 September): There may be too many options to choose from. Knowledge can become more valuable when it is applied; keep up with current events and keep learning. Social gatherings can distract you from getting something important done.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): It’s easy to step on someone’s toes, especially if we’re not careful. You may be light-hearted or feel like the life of the party, ready to let loose or shake things up. Think about possible ways to be more considerate of others’ feelings.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Not everyone follows the rules. Getting everyone to cooperate can be like herding cats. Try to use tact and psychology to bring the rebels to their senses. Vision and imagination can lead to great ideas with long-term benefits.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21): You may feel like you’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster; your day may bring emotional highs and lows. Remember, what goes up must come down. Don’t get too hung up on one feeling because it might only be temporary.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19): You may have a knack for certain topics and your awareness will become even clearer if you incorporate originality, inventiveness and creativity into your daily life. It might be worth exploring strategies to secure your future.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): The cause may be your high expectations or the lack of demands of another person. If other people seem unpredictable, you may be expecting too much. Your priorities may change just when you thought you had everything under control.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20): Do not be overly sensitive or quick-tempered towards your loved ones. Unwanted confrontations may arise, so try to see things from the other party’s perspective. Your social instinct may lead you to work with people who share your ideals.

IF AUGUST 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You can be proud of your accomplishments, demonstrate your leadership skills, and avoid emotional drama over the next two weeks. It might be helpful to watch your temperament during the first half of September, as gruff and rude behavior could keep you from constructive discussions. October could be full of unforeseen changes and unresolved circumstances. Take your time making important promises or decisions; wait for the dust to settle. Indulge in dreams, escape into creative activities, or take a romantic vacation until final results are in. Consider making important decisions about your business, finances, or passions during the second half of November, when your skills and practical assessments seem more on track. Get everything in order in December, as January could bring unresolved circumstances that could leave you clinging to what you already have.
