Aries (March 21 - April 19)

For some, shopping is a sport, while for others it’s just a necessary exercise. Control yourself even as prices seem to be coming down. The obvious doesn’t always bear repeating.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

It’s good to be loved and called beautiful, but now what? You have a hard time expressing serious thoughts in such a festive atmosphere. You’d like to be somewhere else, and maybe with different people.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

By late in the week, your mood lightens considerably. Lower your guard and speak your mind. That hidden strength of yours is finally coming to the surface.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

You should know by now that nothing is permanent. It’s better to talk your way out of an embarrassing situation than to silently ignore it. Remember where you put important things in case you need them again.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Your difficulties aren’t as great as you thought. At last you hit on the right source, or maybe you finally work it out for yourself. It’s time to listen to apologies. Forgiveness is a sign of true nobility.

Virgo (August 23 - Sept. 22)

Know when to talk and when to remain silent. It should be obvious if someone close to you is experiencing a shift in mood. Instead of delivering a lecture, model the behaviour that you’d like to see in others.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

Handle your worrisome business while you’re still in a worried mood. By the time the Moon enters Gemini, you’ll be ready to throw off your shackles and play. Later this week you won’t care about looking back.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Even in a large group, you might have a sudden flash of loneliness. Don’t let an existential moment throw your weekend too far off course. Most people would prefer to keep the conversation light and careless.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

Annoying or unwanted guests finally shove off. At last you can tell jokes without having to explain them. You’re happy to serve favourite people, even if it’s only an excuse to laugh about your recent ordeal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

You hate to let go of a good time, but your friends have to leave. Make the transition with a book or video that will capture your still-racing mind. Sleep well, dream beautifully and be ready for the next stage.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

A long-standing disorder is finally realigned. Reward yourself for doing what had to be done. More people now have more reasons to be confident in you.

Pisces (Feb. 18 - March 20)

If you have a rare treat too often, it becomes just another habit. Now that your need has passed, let its agents of satisfaction take their rest. The next time you summon this experience, it will be wonderfully different.
