ARIES March 21 - April 19
You’ve recently been going through a lot of changes that some people find over the top; ignore their jeers, you are doing what is best for you. Others are jealous of your transformation.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20
Life is too short for you to spend time lollygagging. Get on the move. If you continue to dawdle, you’ll never accomplish anything.

GEMINI May 21 - June 21
The only way you can get over your fears is by taking them on. Once you have tackled what you are afraid of, things won’t seem as scary.CANCER June 22 - July 22
You are getting very sleepy, and it’s because you haven’t had enough rest. Your schedule is far too hectic and if you don’t slow your pace now you’ll be sleeping for eternity rather than through the night.

LEO July 23 - August 22
It’s one thing after another. One day your front yard is torn to pieces, the next day your roof is caving in. You’ll need to spend some time and money nursing your home back to health this summer.

VIRGO August 23 - September 22
Your dreams hold important clues about your future. Try recording everything you dream after you wake up, so that you can pinpoint what your mind is trying to tell you.LIBRA September 23 - October 23
It’s going to be a long, slow summer for you, Libra. Although the temperatures may boil and the storms may rage, you are going to experience a tame, lazy season.

SCORPIO October 24 - November 21
You owe someone a great debt and in time they will come to collect what is rightfully their own. Pay your dues, before it gets too late.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 - December 21
It’s better to say no than make an empty promise. The nice thing to do may not always be the right thing to do.

CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19
You need time for rest and relaxation. A vacation is long overdue. Request some time off, so you can bask in the summer sun.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 18
You have a good thing going for you. Don’t ruin what you have by deliberately sabotaging your relationship. You don’t want all of your relationships to resemble George Costanza’s.

PISCES February 19 - March 20
There is no reason for you to feel trapped by your job. With your skills you have more career options than you can even imagine. If you don’t like what you are currently doing, you should seek alternative employment.
