GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The more adventurous you are today the more fun you will have, both on your own and alongside people who share your thrill-seeking needs. Also, if you are looking for love you will most likely find it in places others don’t think to look.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Your kindness knows no bounds but you must not let other people take advantage of that fact. The message of the stars today is that you need to be aware of what is going on around you and who is most likely to profit from your generous nature.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

With love planet Venus linked to Jupiter it is no exaggeration to say that love is in the air – and just about any other area you care to look for it. If someone catches your eye today don’t look away. Let them see they attract you too.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

By all means assist someone in need today but once you have helped them make sure they then find ways to help themselves. If you do too much for them now they will expect it of you for ever and a day. Try some tough love.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Venus, your ruler, is nicely linked to Jupiter, planet of good fortune today, so don’t hesitate to reach out to the people you love, because they will appreciate it and will return your affection. The only tears likely to be shed are tears of joy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

It is possible that you will begin a new relationship today or over the weekend but more likely by far is that an existing relationship will become both more loving and stable. You tend to keep the passionate side of your nature well hidden, but not now!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Be as sociable as you can be today – go where you please, do as you please and get together with the kind of people you feel most in tune with. Together you will banish boredom and find news ways to enjoy the best that life has to offer.


CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You will be in the mood to treat yourself today and why not? After all the hard work you’ve done in recent months few would deny that you deserve a thrill or two and those who do deny it are the sort who can be safely ignored.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Don’t sit around waiting for the good things in life to come your way, get out there and seize them for yourself. Venus in your sign will point you in the direction where you can have the most fun and after that it is up to you.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

If you want to be alone today that’s perfectly okay, but the planets indicate if you make even a small effort to interact with the world around you the pleasure you get from everyday connections will be immense. Think what a big effort might do!
