Aries

Try not to be too sensitive and take it in the spirit that it was intended – pure jest. However, if you’re still dwelling on it well into the next few days, then maybe there was more meaning behind the words than intended.

With a shift in your thinking, the idea of something new is becoming very appealing, to say the least, but don’t go ahead with anything that isn’t logical or doesn’t feel right on an intuitive level.

Libra

If you’ve been feeling restless and wanting more, now is the time to put thoughts into action. Life can change for the better with just a few simple words of self encouragement.

Beware of throwing caution to the wind when expensive invitations cross your desk. Keeping up with the Jones’s is really not crucial right now, so don’t even try. There is always going to be people who are better off as well as worse off than you.

Sagittarius

It’s as if others know that you will take on the responsibility, so they leave everything for you to deal with. On one hand this can be a burden, but on the other, you are able to keep control.

Now that your talents have been recognized by those in authority, it would be a wise move to start building closer ties with work colleagues, and in particular, someone who is on the same page as you.

Aquarius

Success is in sight and with a little determination and a firm resolution; your goals can be reached. Clear the calendar andS prioritize the business schedule.

With business, don’t throw away an out of the ordinary idea that you’ve been entertaining. The more unorthodox the plan, the greater chance it has of success.

With the Sun in the sign of Libra, a fellow air sign, it’s a time to spread your wings and let the world know what you’re all about. Be a self promoter; there is no better publicity machine to broaden your public awareness.

The effort you have recently applied to ensure your health is in tiptop shape will yield results. At home, toe the line where it concerns health and safety issues and you will not only be helping yourself but setting a good example for others.

You need time to work alone simply to churn out the high level of work you commit to completing within a time span. It’s also necessary to work with others to gain further clarity. As a leader, you need both.

Lighten up, and don’t fall into the trap of thinking you need to portray a stern outward persona for others to take you seriously at the office or with business matters, Libra.

Before you can go off daydreaming about something romantically intoxicating, there are responsibilities and deadlines that need attention. Don’t put off till tomorrow what can and should be done today.

When it concerns money, if there’s more going out than coming in then perhaps it’s time to implement a strict budget. Do a quick stock–take of recent purchases to see what you spent money on that wasn’t needed.

Double check anything to do with money or the signing of contracts pertaining to money. On a personal note, if a relationship hasn’t quite worked out as expected then it may be necessary to dissect it and discover why.

Saying to someone who owes you cash that they can pay it back at anytime is asking for trouble. If it goes on for too long then there could be resentments about lending the cash in the first place. Set in place a repayment plan.

The pace is increasing at the office, with you being more in demand. With so much happening, it’s important to ensure that you continue to present work with your usual level of high quality.

If you put off confronting someone about a situation any longer it may need to be completely reassessed if there is a change in circumstances. A family member may be able to provide some insight that could help you come to a conclusion.

Instead of accepting a proposition the way it is, there may be an opportunity to build in another element that can be advantages to all parties. Just because something is complex doesn’t mean it can’t work.

Telling those you work with how much they are appreciated will increase your level of popularity. Success is a joint endeavor. It’s this combined effort of loyal supporters and followers that helps to create success.

To make headway with a project at work and move your career in the right direction, be strategic instead of reactive. Turn on the Libran charm and others will take notice.

When all is said and done, over the past few months you’ve learned a valuable lesson, gained insight, and have become wiser for the experience. With love, you may be forced to confront a personal issue.
