ARIES (March 21-April 19). Tension will build deliciously. You may butt heads with a dear one but it’s the conflict that brings more beauty, awareness, communication and clarity into your life and relationships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The growth of plants is not up to the plant. It’s usually because the environment or some other factor is not conducive to growth. There’s something in your life that you really wish could be taking off, and it certainly will, in circumstances that are a good fit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll elevate your work, relationships and lifestyle through specificity and choices that meet a select criteria. You’ll have a kind of success that’s better than what money can buy, though it also comes with a few high-dollar perks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though it won’t be natural for you today, try to think of yourself and your own needs first. They are important, and you’ll have the resources to speak to them. When you do this, it will allow you to be in a better position to assist others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve needed guides throughout life and you need them still. It’s something that none outgrow, so don’t be afraid to reach out to new people and listen to their wisdom. It can come in many forms today, and book form will be the most profound.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will understand so much more than you ever did, not because you cram information, but because you do the opposite. You sit back and let things settle. You relax and make space in your life for ideas to come together quite on their own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your gifts have value. You probably feel like you need to prove it, stick a price tag on it and/or deliver to the extent that people will be impressed. These are normal thoughts, and you are better to ignore them and get on with the business of doing what you do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even the people who say they know what they want often aren’t nearly as sure about it as they seem. Show what you’re offering. You’ll shape appetite by merely displaying new offerings.
