ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

You may fancy yourself a rugged individualist who’d rather go your own way, but you did make an agreement, so you better suck it up and stay. Besides, for a fire sign a controlled burn can be a beautiful thing. The forest grows back flora galore which means your flames’ll have more fuel than they did before!

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

It’s gonna be a tough row to hoe so put your head down and go in the direction you know to be true. Whoever’s holdin’ the reins’ll have somethin’ to say about it so you can expect a hassle or two. Ain’t that always the way when someone in the back seat thinks they’re drivin’ you? The yoke may be on you, but the joke’s on them.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

Standin’ up for what you believe in is one of the best things you can do, but be careful you don’t get screwed. Why spend all your resources battlin’ for a belief that won’t reimburse you, spiritually, monetarily or otherwise? Sometimes you’re better off mindin’ your own business.

CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

You can’t run away from your problems forever and the further you go, the fatter they get. You may think you’ve outraced ’em when much later a big, greasy, obese ton o’ trouble will come waddlin’ up to you all huffin’ and puffin’ and ready to knock out your stuffin’. Why don’tcha kick its ass now while it’s still a 40-kilo weakling?

LEO (JULY 23 – AUG. 22)

You may have a solid idea of the way things are supposed to be, but do yourself a favour and forget it. Not that it ain’t valid, it just ain’t practical. Events are happenin’ way too fast to think about ’em. You need the quick reflexes of a cat to deal with this level of chaos. Hey, ain’t you a member of the feline family?

VIRGO (AUG. 23 – SEPT. 22)

The recent full moon in your sign signalled a switch into a new cycle for you. Your level of success now is determined by how much you’ve learned about yourself. Hopefully, you’re still aware of what needs workin’ on. Why? ’Cause by the week’s end you’ll be faced full-on with your issues. Save up your strength and you won’t need your tissues.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 – OCT. 22)

Your role in business has expanded, but beware, big shot! This is a crucial point where most people blow it. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep your critical self bound and gagged this week. However valid your words may be, they’ll come back to haunt you. In 3-D. Ooooh, scary kids!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

Scorpios are deep and you get more outta things than most other folks. Take this week, for example. You’ll be workin’ away at what you think is a mundane task when all of a sudden it’ll transform into a thing of beauty and a message to you of your place and function in this vast universe. This’ll inspire you to grow and the deeper the roots, the taller the tree.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 – DEC. 21)

What’s wrong with bein’ a ruthless schemer who wants to climb the stairway to success? It’s all just sittin’ there for whoever’s got the gumption to grab it, so why shouldn’t you? You’ll have no problem as long as you can be cold as steel ’cause their only weapon against you is what you feel. Don’t even think about tryin’ if you ain’t down with that deal!

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 – JAN. 19)

Some call you stingy but really you’re bein’ prudent. C’mon now, you can’t just give a piece to everybody, can you? Besides, it’s not like you hold out on people who deserve it, either. Persevere on this path and you’ll be repaid with peace of mind and the power that flows from being neutrally aligned!

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 – FEB. 18)

You can’t get upset about somethin’ as natural as night. Yes, it’s dark. Sure, you bump into a lotta stuff. No, you can’t see what’s lurking out there. So? You’ve gotta make peace with it ’cause it happens every day, so consistently remind yourself that sunrise is on the way!

PISCES (FEB. 19 – MARCH 20)

You Pisceans easily pick up on what’s goin’ on around you. In fact, you pick up so much your psychic arms are always full. That’s why it seems you’re somewhere else when you’re usually more immersed in the situation than anyone there. So since you’ve got so much on your mind, this week’s helpful hint will be very simple: Lazy and bad make sad. Repeat often.
