ARIES March 21 - April 19
You might want to reconsider with whom you’re getting involved. The crowd you’ve been running with lately is trouble. Rethink your situation before it’s too late.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20
Sometimes it seems that everyone is out to get you, but they’re not. You often fall into long runs of bad luck, Taurus. But you know from experience that everything always works itself out. This time is no different than the last.

GEMINI May 21 - June 21
It’s time you do an overhaul on your living quarters—that Betamax player isn’t doing you any good collecting dust. Although you are attached to a lot of your possessions you need to part with them before you end up being buried alive in a heap of old shoes and DARE t-shirts.

CANCER June 22 - July 22
Save yourself some stress and be honest with people. The more time you spend sneaking around the more likely you are to get caught. If you come clean you’ll relieve a lot of the weight you’ve been carrying on your shoulders.

LEO July 23 - August 22
Although in the beginning of the month you may feel down it won’t last. October is one of the most happening months for you, and your schedule will be full of haunting dates and ghoulish weekends. You’ll be feeling Hell Metal in no time.

VIRGO August 23 - September 22
It’s time that you take your relationship to the next level. If you don’t make the big move soon that special person in your life is going to get bored and leave you for someone who wants to commit.

LIBRA September 23 - October 23
If it’s been a boring year thus far don’t worry, things are going to be getting a lot more exciting in the coming months. Expect to be invited to a blow-the-roof-off party around the weekend of the 21st of October.

SCORPIO October 24 - November 21
You need to make your interests known or you’ll never get what you want. You can’t expect people to read your mind or guess what your needs are. Speak up. Vocalize and demand your desires.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 - December 21
Try not to focus on the differences between people and spend more time counting the similarities. Although some people seem near impossible to get along with, through open lines of communication you can find out that you have a lot in common.

CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19
You’ve set a huge goal for yourself that may be hard to complete. It might be easier if you fraction your huge goal into little goals, so that success is easier to achieve. If you complete your objectives, your triumphs will be long lasting.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 18
This is a time to focus on matters of the home. Readjust your bedroom for optimum Feng Shui or do some vinyl flooring. If you still live with your parents then this would be a good time for you to move out, so that they can have the house to themselves before they dry up.

PISCES February 19 - March 20
You are lucky that you have skills in so many areas. You should put your knowledge to the test and start using all of your trades to bring you and your family wealth and prosperity.
