All Signs
This week ranges from disillusionment and disappointment - to as good as it can get -- to as bad as it can get. Shee! First we're stunned like a deer in the headlights, then we're delighted and hopeful; then power struggles ensue followed by self-flagellating disappointment. The entire range of joy and sorrow! Remember: you will never again be as young as you are today. You have the best tools in your kit to meet whatever happens. Just don't get hung up on right and wrong. ('Cause two rights don't make a wrong -- they make an airplane.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're disappointed in love, or discouraged about an artistic project (or your creative talents) or you're overwhelmed dealing with children or being responsible for them. Don't beat yourself up about this. The good news is unexpected support, wealth, gifts or resources from others will help you now! Manna from heaven! (But it's hard to say how this will 'mannafest'.) Meanwhile, back at the salt mines, power struggles are a drag, even though you're busting your buns at work. (Is there no justice?) Don't let feelings of discouragement get in the way of your efforts to work hard. If at first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This week you have marvelous opportunities connected with friends, or dealing with the public, or meeting someone new who you're attracted to, or entering into a wonderful partnership. You might hook up with someone completely different and unlike anyone you knew before. This excites and delights you! But this could also cause difficulty with romantic connections and children. Certainly, things at home are a different matter. You might feel disappointed with a parent or a family member. Or you might feel let down by someone. Perhaps you feel guilty because you think you're letting others down? Don't worry. You'll handle this. (You always do.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Conversations with relatives and siblings might disappoint you deeply. Quite likely, what's happening is your ideas about the world around you are changing. And quite often, the first step in this process is a feeling of disorientation or dismay. But hey -- are your expectations of others realistic? (We are all frail mortals grappling on this darkling plain.) Don't second-guess yourself. Power struggles with family members or the breakdown of machinery and equipment at home might also be a bummer. Fortunately, midst all this -- sudden opportunities at work (or even with your health) enormously please you! Be prepared to act fast. This window of opportunity is brief!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Something to do with possessions, your earnings, your finances, and by extension, even your self-image might bother you now. In some way, you expected more. (Hey -every Cancer knows the easiest way to remain poor is to pretend to be rich. Ha!) Nevertheless, this disappointment could trigger a power struggle with someone -- perhaps a relative or sibling. At this moment, this is your reality. Don't let it get you down. Thankfully, there's a bright side right now. Sudden opportunities for vacations and playful diversions could fall in your lap. Unexpected romance and love affairs might delight you. Financial speculation looks great! And happy news related to children and babies can really warm your heart. (Gosh.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your sign invented romance. When you're in love, you're consumed by high drama. Partnerships are vital to you. This week struggles about money and possessions (possibly related to children or speculation) might be one of the reasons you feel disappointed with a partner or close friend. Since Leo is the sign of royalty, you often expect others to anticipate your needs. Could this be the problem? Remember: any unexpressed expectation is a sure guarantee for disappointment. Do others really know what you want? Fortunately, hearth and home are cozy now. Family relationships are warm. Sudden opportunities connected with real estate can arise. You feel appreciated right in your own backyard. "Dinner's ready!"
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The best professional critics and editors are Virgos. (You don't miss a thing.) Unfortunately, this discerning, discriminating quality, which normally serves you so well, can also make you self-critical. Something might haunt you right now. Power struggles with parents or a family member make you feel like navel lint. Lighten up, awreddy! It's OK to defend your turf or go after what you want. (However, do get more physical exercise because Mars in your sign pumps a lot of energy into you, and it might need a release.) Conversations with partners, relatives and siblings can turn this right around. Unexpected news about something gladdens your heart. Good news about writing, communications, siblings, teaching or perhaps even a short trip pleases you. You're as wonderful as you were last week. All is illusion!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You're not someone who likes to do things alone. You like to have somebody else on the other end of your teeter-totter. (Feels good.) Furthermore, you like to have harmony with everyone. That's why it's disconcerting when you feel disappointed in someone. Should you say something? Perhaps you already did. Whatever the scene, you're bummed out about it. These things happen to everybody everyday. Furthermore, someone out there might not have your best interests at heart. Remain guarded. (Sometimes life is a bowl of cherry pits.) But do not dwell on this! Instead, stay tuned for sudden, marvelous opportunities to earn more money! Ka-ching! (Money is a wonderful salve for any wound.) Think of all the beautiful goodies you can buy!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The demands you make on yourself, or the expectations you think parents, bosses and authority figures have for you could be overwhelming or discouraging right now. Perhaps feel you're letting someone down? Or you might feel let down by others? Don't buy into this. If other people have expectations -- that's their business. You have to march to your own tune. Power struggles with friends or members of a group might also be problematic. Fortunately, in the midst of all this you receive a fabulous blessing. Out of the blue a sudden opportunity or piece a good luck gives you the courage to make a break for freedom. It's like a door opening. Don't even hesitate. Walk right through it. (Are those munchkin voices I hear? "Follow the yellow brick road!")
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You're so positive and optimistic, only an idealist like you could be so disillusioned or shot down about something. This could be about disappointing travel plans, dealing with someone far away, or becoming disenchanted with a teacher, politician, or set of ideals you once embraced. (Yes -- they lied about the Tooth Fairy.) This might trigger power struggles with parents and bosses. All hell could break loose! But it's a curious thing. (Yeah - we're back to the 'when one door closes, another door opens and lets the flies in' bit.) Privately, some kind of inner truth awakens something important in you. Sounds corny, but it's true. It's almost a rebirth of some kind. (You can be really trippy.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Be careful about financial matters, cash, and your possessions. You could be swindled or cheated, or disappointed about how something is handled. Maybe you're not happy with your share? Inheritances, and shared property could be the source of hard feelings. Something definitely does not sit right with you. But lo! What do I hear? The cavalry! (Bugle riff here.) Friends and groups are 100% behind you. You can count on the support you need and want from others. (They know you're more than just a pretty face.) Don't waste time scuffling over publishing, the media, education and dealing with other countries or different cultures. Have another drink with your good buddies. You are loved.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Relationships and partnerships are not only confusing; they might be downright demoralizing. (I hate it when that happens.) Disagreements about shared property and how to divide things could get really nasty. This is not your style! You normally rise above this sort of thing. You're not a doormat or a wimp or a fool. Don't second-guess yourself. You're very fair-minded. It's OK to defend your own turf. Instead, turn your attention to your career and your reputation among your peers because something fabulous suddenly turns up. Unexpected opportunities for a raise, a promotion, or a change in your career direction exist. However, they might require split-second action. Stay off your heels!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might feel beaten down by something at work. After hustling your buns, and burning the midnight oil giving everything your all -- you feel like the rug is pulled out from under your new shoes. Blehk! Disagreements with partners or friends are just huge power struggles. ("Talk to the hand.") What did you do to deserve this? Actually - nothing. Don't let this get you down. There is a silver lining if you raise your head. Surprise opportunities to travel, or get further education or training, or to explore publishing and media opportunities are sweet! This could be the break you've been waiting for! The only catch is you have to act fast. Be receptive to groundbreaking ideas. (Opportunities are seldom labeled.)
