You have a knack for picking up on others' concerns and interests and effectively sharing helpful advice and a compassionate understanding of others' needs. If you are having a difficult time with a family member, co-worker, or friend, this is an excellent time to clear up any misunderstandings and develop a much better rapport.

Dedication and commitment can now back up your interest in moving forward in your job or career. Reviewing your old habits and traditions gives you an opportunity to make needed changes that bring greater work efficiency and helps you execute your career goals and plans. Stay alert to new possibilities that would increase your status and recognition in your work environment. In your personal life, this is a good time to secure your commitments and responsibilities to loved ones and friends.

Gemini
May 21 - June 20

You have more energy and the inner resources to devote yourself to work and business-related assignments. You feel a strong determination to apply yourself to purposeful tasks and chores in your work environment. Although others may feel isolated by your self direction, you work with more efficiency and concentration when alone. In fact, you have an unbelievable capacity for enduring hardship and obstacles now and outwardly project to others that you can handle just about anything. Therefore, recognition or advancements in your work are possible, if you seize the opportunity to act on your ambitions. A mate, child, or loved one can gain from your advice, support, and nurturing at this time. This can be quite an enjoyable period when you express your love to others through thoughtful and caring ways.

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

A certain amount of self-control is essential in a romantic relationship at this time. Your affections and emotions are more apt to be expressed with an urgency and intensity that approaches obsession. In some ways, you may be feeling a tremendous sense of responsibility or devotion toward your mate, or you may rely too heavily upon your partner to supply you with assurances, dependability, and emotional fulfillment. In a strong and sound relationship, any imbalance or tensions might only require minor adjustments. However, if a love union is unstable or lacking in security, this may be a time when separations, break-ups, or unfriendliness and hostility can occur. Also, business partnerships, work or financial areas of your life may be affected during this time period. You might have to use more discretion and constraint with regard to these interests as well.

Leo
July 23 - August 22

This may be a time of deep introspection and soul-searching. You can gain greater understanding of the need to let go of former negative conditioning and attitudes, paving the way for new ideas and originality to unfold. Similarly, you may prefer to operate from outside the established or traditional way of doing things, resisting the pressure to conform to the expectations of others. For example, if a job or relationship has hindered your growth due to feelings of guilt, fear, insecurity or denial, you may come to the realization that you are lowering your idea of your self-worth or that you are involved in an impossible situation. You may reach an important crossroads where you will be deciding whether to hold on to the old way or to take a chance and make changes that will put you on a new track.

Virgo
August 23 - September 22

You are apt to take the initiative on issues concerning intimate relating and planning out compatible activities to enjoy with your mate, as well as take action to achieve more closeness, allegiance, and commitment in your love affair or marriage. Your enthusiasm and knowledge can draw new people and experiences into your life now. Your most constructive efforts will most likely be successful when you join forces with others on a common goal, project, or creative interest. Communications with friends, relatives, and associates will provide motivation, insight, and encouragement toward the fulfillment of your plans and designs. In all of your talks and dealings with others, you are eager to impress them with your ideas and opinions. Someone who reaches out to guide or assist you now could prove to be invaluable.

Libra
September 23 - October 22

Your ideas are likely to be quite original and varied, and you may seek new ways to stimulate yourself mentally. You follow your own ideas, even if it brings you down a different path from others. Although you concentrate on doing things your own way, you should not experience much difficulty in remaining sensitive to other people's ideas and beliefs. Furthermore, you may have an opportunity to teach or calm others by offering them ways to clarify their own thoughts and improve their communication skills. At this time, when you communicate openly and with a variety of people, you can discover the value of what they have to say, and you can enhance or update your own ideas. You are also less likely to be fooled or tricked by others, as you can see behind falsehoods and pretenses. This is a favorable time to rebuild or heal your relationships with loved ones, siblings, relatives, or co-workers.

Scorpio
October 23 - November 21

This is a happy and cooperative time for family or career matters. You develop strong feelings of concern for anyone or anything that needs your support or direction. You will find it easier to handle both taking care of your family and gaining control of personal and business affairs. Other people may admire and count on your dependability and loyalty and you enjoy the attention you receive from helping others at this time. This is a good period for entertaining and playful times with family members. If you have children, you may notice that you are less strict with them just now and should use this time to boost their self-esteem. Physical thrills and excitement have a strong appeal for you now, and you want to do something new and out of the ordinary.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

Circumstances may arise where you are called upon to analyze some of your career plans and ambitions. For example, you might be asked to assume a great deal of work that requires commitment and dedication, but without the promise of advancement or recognition for your efforts. On the other hand, you may feel you have "paid your dues" to your organization or society with nothing to show for it and choose to look into other avenues for fulfilling your vocational interests and objectives. Positively, if you work hard with patience and perseverance, you can finish old tasks and assignments which have previously weighed you down. Career directions may take a different turn altogether, and you apply yourself to adapting to a new work climate. Taking the time to reflect upon your past accomplishments may help boost your spirits and enthusiasm at this time.

Capricorn
December 21-January 20

This is a favorable period to clear away any imperfections in your work routines and endeavors. You may need a work environment free of distractions and chaos in order to work with more productivity and efficiency. If your creative energy and imagination is given room to flourish, then you will truly feel dedicated to your job responsibilities and duties. You may envision greater possibilities or yearn for idyllic work conditions where your dreams are automatically fulfilled. Since you are highly susceptible to the influence of others, you may be swayed by their ideas and schemes. If the plans and designs of other individuals are based in reality, you can benefit now from their inspirations. However, it is important that you discern between fact and fiction in your dealings with others.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

You can intensely focus and concentrate on your work responsibilities and are motivated to take on challenging and competitive activities. There is a greater chance that you will not only initiate projects but will also show dedication and persistence in all work endeavors. You will use whatever power or means you have available to achieve your goals, even if it infringes upon the amount of attention you give to your personal relationships. However, this astrological influence will not necessarily bring out negative "workaholic" behavior. This can be a very positive time, when you are inspired and stimulated by work assignments and job opportunities and can be especially effective if you have previously felt less motivation and purpose on the job.

Pisces
February 19 - March 20

Your focus and attention may be directed to the more private areas of your life. You can be very devoted and committed to family matters and will make personal sacrifices if necessary. You tend to shy away from public affairs and heavy work obligations. You may put your efforts into making your home life a safe sanctuary from the pressures of job and society. Personal affairs can overshadow your work ambitions and interfere with your professional standing. In some instances the reverse is also true, but even if you are a workaholic, you will still try to be faithful to your promises and obligations in your domestic life. Clearly, there is a need to balance your dedication to both home and work interests.
