Horoscopes
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Because you are solution-oriented, you have a way of finding hidden opportunities. Getting to the bottom of problems will prevent future mishaps, which will be both challenging and rewarding. One of your greatest assets is your ability to derive benefits or advantages from shifting circumstances. Be as supple as a reed in the wind, and be a cynic, financially. You know that money doesn't grow on trees, and that people are greedy. Revamp a project with an eye toward greater gains. Vanish while you can, to do your most productive work in secret.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Messages get mixed up, but that doesn't have to stop you. A surge of creativity will help you do what traditional methods of communication will fail to accomplish. If at all possible, devote some time to an exciting, fresh interest that has captured your fancy. Indulging in this new past time could have greater ramifications for your life than you think. You might be overlooking a special opportunity. Don't worry about it, but be more alert. Sometimes an important offer won't repeat itself.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
You are sincerely invigorated by the presence of others. Be bold enough to show just how thrilled you are to interact with people. Couple your will to win with your imagination, and visualize the type of results you hope to achieve- along with some changes you'd like to make. They're doable now, with the support of your company, more than ever. You might see a partner making a startling and dramatic change in a significant area. Remain optimistic, and trust in your bond.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You are receptive to trying new things, but you want to know the risk will be worthwhile. You'll take steps to avoid feeling ripped off. Your ability to absorb and catalog all types of new information is better than usual at this time. Strive to learn something new, and utilize this gift to your best advantage. What has been trying for you in the past will now be much easier for you to accomplish. Your mind drifts, and often you might not be present in a conversation. Use this mental state for research.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
There are people you would love to connect with, but life, timing and distance stand in the way. Bridging the gap is a matter of planning. Chances are you'll be luckier than usual, but not in the ways of your own choosing. Even though benefits can't be influenced by what you can't control, you'll like what occurs. You'll be shown favor by those who are difficult to impress. If you find yourself clashing with people at work, it may be a sign that you need a career change. Is your current occupation stifling your creativity? Keep your eyes open for new opportunity.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
You'll be doing what you love to do. Perhaps you won't be doing it for as long as you would like, but that will come with time. Build on these moments of bliss. Even if you want to be low key, it appears that too many people are around for privacy. Your instinct is to defer to others, understanding what is happening behind the scenes Team up with others, because fortuitious developments can be generated through partnerships, especially those springing naturally from social involvement. Gather up your forces and look to the future.
Libra
September 23 - October 23
You possess "mad skillz" in the conversation department, and you're determined to put them to good use. You'll engage in the kind of talks that stir your soul. You will tumble into a whirlwind of activity this week. It will be set off by a friend or partner, and will quickly become much more than you signed up for. An adverse situation that you've been working at changing for the better is likely to take that turn, at long last. Instead of producing negatives, it will bring you something nice.
Scorpio
October 24 - November 21
You're excited to grow into a role and know what it feels like to create a certain dynamic in your world. Your open mind will allow for fresh influences. But before starting another project, be sure to finish what you've already begun. Focus becomes difficult when you have too many things going on at the same time. A friend of yours is likely to be the purveyor of good news, but neither you nor your pal will be aware of this until you talk. It could be a big surprise for the both of you, when you do.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
You are a complex person with big vision to make things happen. You have an opportunity to fine tune your life this week, getting rid of anything that isn't working to make room for your dreams to come alive. Because you are so honest with yourself, you'll see through the facade that people try to present and into the way they actually are. you're starting a new cycle in your life, which will continue for some time and could possibly turn profitable, if you play your cards right. It's a spotty trend, so be able to recognize your good days from your bad ones.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
When you are specific and unambiguous, you will get the results you seek. It is within your power to end an issue at hand, but your ability to perk up others might not work so well on yourself. Instead, make it easier for others to help you. A compound question will get you no answer. This is likely to be a favorable week for you where new adventures or enterprises are concerned. It'll be especially so for anything you'll have a hand in bringing about. Maybe sure that you and your budget see eye to eye.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Show your enthusiasm, and you can't go wrong. Better to be too effusive than too reserved. Most people would like to be more demonstrative, but don't know how. Somethings that was fortunate for you previously could be so again. Don't change anything that worked out well the first time. Keep hold of game plans that work, and get rid of anything that isn't, to make room for your dreams to come alive. Subdue any kind of inclinations that invite distraction. They will cause you to waver in pursuit of an objective, when you should be giving your full attention.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
You will know immediately what needs to be communicated in a given situation, but also that it is best to pause and get the most positive and/or discreet phraseology. People will appreciate when you help them save face. A couple of friends could play more prominent roles in your affairs than they could have done in the past. Each party could be lucky for the other. This week you'll flip between being an efficiency expect and a real flirt. Remain upbeat. Know what your challenges are, and face them.
[OOC Note: The horoscopes are considered by most in the City to be very accurate, since a lady with an ability for this sort of thing provides them. Use them as you will - accurate or not.]
