ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is true that relationships can cause you to feel uncertain, but that doesn’t mean that they are less appealing. Perhaps it is your uncertainty that keeps you intrigued.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are paying attention and will catch what others miss. At some point, the details you pick up on could become overwhelming. When that happens, take a break, step back and let things blur into a bigger picture.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you’re not sure you can have something, does that make you want it more? Well, you’re not the only one. Use this principle to create demand for your goods and services.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you didn’t know any better, you might think it was cosmic exam week. A lesson from your personal history comes up as if cued by a great teacher in the sky. What you learned back there will apply to a current conundrum.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your life’s many facets are all connected. As good as you are at compartmentalization, changes in one area still ripple out. In today’s case, the affect will be favorable indeed.
