GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

Sometimes the simple solution that comes along in the nick of time isn’t the one to get you out of trouble. In fact, the more you’re sure it’s the way out, the deeper in you’ll get. Kinda like struggling in quicksand — the more you fight the faster you sink.

CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

Good fortune has a way of screwin’ up the life script you’re readin’ from, don’t it? That’s OK. Mother Nature won’t change the story without giving you the lead role at the start of this week. If she doesn’t — demand it! If you’re gonna be the star, you better act like one. It is your movie after all.

LEO (JULY 23 – AUG. 22)

Y’know Leo, you don’t always have to play the tough guy to get it to go your way. You can rule with a velvet glove as well as you can with an iron fist. Mata Hari was a Leo and she had entire governments wrapped around her fingers without resorting to violence. What have you got?

VIRGO (AUG. 23 – SEPT. 22)

You’ll have all sorts of energy later this week when the moon passes through your sign. Not only that, you’ll have increased charisma those days as well. Just make sure to use that charm and fire to get what you desire. All’s fair, y’know....

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 – OCT. 22)

You’ll get a message sometime this week which will require you to react without being able to give it a moment’s thought. Unfortunately, this’ll mess up everything you just tidied. Ever hear of a blessing in disguise? Well, this one’s with the witness relocation program — it’ll take a while to find it but it’s there, hiding in plain sight.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

No need to worry about the upcoming confrontation, kiddo. War brings certain rewards to the lucky ones who can capitalize on the opportunities that arise from it. How the heck do you think the military-industrial complex got so huge?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 – DEC. 21)

You’ve had it too good lately and you’ve gotten soft as a result. No worries. The universe is gonna do its best to whip you into shape real soon, whether you want it to or not. You’d best be ready for one helluva workout after the weekend.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 – JAN. 19)

Give up that nonsense this minute young man and/or lady, march yourself right up to your room, shut the door behind you and think real long and hard about what you’ve done. Then maybe, just maybe mind you, there’ll be some dessert after dinner.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 – FEB. 18)

Being a fighter for your beliefs, you figure nothing comes without a struggle, and struggling takes a lot of strength. But sometimes it takes even more strength to see everything is perfect and exactly the way it should be. Are you up to it?

PISCES (FEB. 19 – MARCH 20)

Like a kid on a sugar binge, you’re gonna have more energy than you know what to do with this week. However, you’ll be pretty popular because some other people will know exactly what they wanna use all your vitality for. Tell those vampires to get their own and use yours to get you back on course.

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

With the moon opposite you this weekend, it’d be a good time to just ignore everyone and spend time by yourself. If you don’t wanna do it for your own good, then do it for those around you — they’re the ones that’ll have to put up with your grumpy ass all weekend.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

Movement is happening now since you’re not spending all your time and energy fighting. That’s great, but don’t forget one thing: A truce isn’t an agreement to get along, it’s an agreement to not annihilate each other. And it could break at any time.
