Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re taking control of your life — and others can see it. You may have gone through a period where it felt like every day brought a new problem, but you’re finally able to find a rhythm that works for you. Avoid any mishaps by sticking with what you have for the time being.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You don’t have to be a boxer to fight back. If someone is spreading rumors about you or refusing to give you the credit you deserve, then it’s time to stand up for yourself. That being said, you need to fight any temptation to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Someone may be pushing you to act out of character. You don’t have to sink to their level — even if they’re throwing unfair shots at you. It’s better to stand on your own than to stand with someone who works to manipulate you away from your truth. Real friends will support you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): You might be competing against many other people throughout the day. When it comes to something that you really want, you’re probably willing to step up to the plate. Give it your best shot — or you risk getting stuck wondering what would have happened. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You can let your hard work do the talking at the moment. Words can be cheap, but when all you’re talking about is proven by promises you fulfilled, you can certify the value of your statements. Others should see that from you, so go show them what you’re really made of!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may base much of your worth on reaching a certain standard that you set for yourself. Unfortunately, this can become stressful if you fall short. When such cognitive dissonance strikes, you attempt to cope through negative self-talk. Don’t be your own worst enemy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone in your life understands your needs. Keep your eyes peeled for anyone who’s trustworthy. While it could even feel like you need to compete with this person, once you join forces, you’ll probably be stronger together. Rather than be defensive, hear them out.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re a person who others can count on at this moment. Anxieties could make you resist committing yourself at first, but good vibes will support you to go after this dream of building up the people around you. Who knows, you might even meet a new friend through the work you do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your dedication may beat out the talent of someone else. Being so diligent will likely let you gain an edge over the competition. While others could be relying on their instincts, you have more knowledge and preparation behind your actions. Show them what consistency can do.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have a bit of extra time to yourself at present, either for a vacation or just a day to rest. Either way, this means you have more freedom to follow your heart. Showing off your courage can impress others who would usually be closed off to this kind of free expression.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might not want to contend with those who are trying to compete. Sometimes your comfort in being who you are can trigger others — especially those who are not comfortable in their own skin. They may then react to you with frustration. Don’t let their mindset change you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You might find yourself competing for someone’s time. There may be others trying to catch the eye of this person. Your intentions might be more genuine than others — they’re potentially attempting to get something from this person rather than be their true friend or supporter. Show them your truth.
