Aries (March 21-April 19): Breaking with convention can be a thrill for fiery Aries. If instincts tell you that curbing your impulsive reactions is the best route, it is wise to listen. The contrast is clear when immediate gratification pales in comparison to a traditional strategy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Avoid rushing a decision, especially when trying something new or taking a project in a fresh direction. The seed of a good idea needs time to germinate. The choice that emerges organically is virtually guaranteed to be right for you. Let patience be your friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): It can bemuch simpler to do your job by avoiding the entanglements that only create drama. Your mindset is one of freedom, and you’re at your best when leading with kindness. When you tune into confidence, your aura is warm and chill in just the right doses.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Imagining an orderly closet, cabinets filled with dishes in perfectly aligned rows, and storage spaces where anything sought is at your fingertips raises special enthusiasm. Guidance is worth its weight in gold, especially when you are champing at the bit to kiss clutter goodbye.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Recent efforts to build a solid foundation or framework are beginning to produce noticeable results. However, you may need to attack today’s top priorities in the same way that you would climb a ladder. Start at the first rung, and proceed up from there, one steady step at a time.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If your intuition is whispering to you that something isn’t adding up, taking a closer look is the logical next step. Dig for meaningful answers if you want the truth. You might be surprised by how many people are willing to assist you now. Trust but verify is sage advice.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your boss, partner, or love mate might be among those ready to give you a round of applause for how you skillfully improvise a repair or manage an unexpected expense. Not everyone rises to a challenge with your grace. Humbly accept any well-deserved compliments.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Taking the most positive view of every development is like a superpower today. Fortunately, your optimistic outlook is a major source of empowerment. There’s no denying how delicious it is to savor your winning edge. Frank Tyger wrote, “Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You yearn for everything to fall into place. Progress takes time. The wheels are in motion now, even if it’s nearly impossible for them to spin fast enough.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Thinking for yourself sets you apart from the crowd. While a few folks might be a little jealous, most people truly admire your ability to set your own course and follow it without distraction. In fact, others might even see you as a role model, so be mindful of your actions.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your quick wit and naturally free-spirited ways can serve as a neat reminder that attitude is a choice. Choosing optimism encourages others to follow suit. Even a small elevation in the collective mood is an improvement for the better, and that change can start with you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It is easy to identify what you aspire to accomplish. Preparations, training, and practice make you a force to be reckoned with now. Pointers from experienced friends or loved ones are like icing on the cake. With this kind of hyper-readiness, the prize you’re after is well within your reach.
