ARIES (March 21-April 19). Making the healthy choice may not change everything immediately, but your confidence will be strengthened each time your choices are aligned with your best self.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When the balance is off between people, it doesn’t sit right with you. People have different roles to play. While some come with more status and perks, all the roles are important and deserving of respect.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re a problem-solving machine, processing a heap of unknowns. You’ll gather information and figure out what’s important. You’ll sift everything into a master list. You’ll take advice as you formulate a plan to get this project underway.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Wanting validation from others is human. It’s how you go about getting it that makes the difference to your happiness. If there are better ways to get your needs met, they will stand out to you now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When it’s not going right, don’t worry about whose fault it is, and don’t agonize. Even if this is a setback, it’s nothing irreversible here to permanently thwart your progress. Assess your position and start again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Storytelling and dancing are two forms of entertainment that have been around since ancient times, and both have the power to connect people on a deeper level. Sharpening either skill will have social rewards.
