A long-running opposition between Saturn and Neptune creates a tug-of-war between pragmatism and ideals. Fundies of all stripes go berserk, but artistic vision can come out of it, especially with Venus and Mars now releasing some of the tension.
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Apply inspiration from dreams, or from your most altruistic ideals, to your greatest goals in life. Try to involve friends or colleagues in your benevolent deeds, and you'll find those good works to be more fun than you would have expected.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Problems at home may reveal ways in which you can improve your work and reputation. Stay open to new ideas in either milieu, hash out challenging ideas, and be ready to make adjustments that could rankle at first but will pay off later.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): Arguments have been coming too easily lately, but being willing to entertain new ideas in lively debate could boost your personal and professional reputation. Speak from the heart, making sure any emotional appeals are grounded in facts.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Be open-minded and let your partner be right – or pay careful attention and learn from your opponent! Like giving up battles to win the war, the only way to be right in the long run is to admit when you're wrong.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Looking – or better yet, "being" – industrious, serious, and mature will make you irresistibly sexy. That could cause some friction with your partner or colleagues, so be very careful where and how you use your charm!
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): As much as you enjoy working, some of your co-workers may not share your enthusiasm. It's too easy now for that difference to become divisive. Charm and creativity could help, but don't push it. Be attentive to your colleagues' needs!
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): You are especially creative now, but a bit spacey. Family traditions can offer some guidance. Think also about what you want to achieve in the long run, and share your ideas with friends who can help you stay focused.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Your tongue is a little sharper and faster than usual. The good news is, so is your brain. But be careful! Engage and focus creatively with your wit to see what opportunities are open and who can help you climb the ladder!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Consider your priorities carefully before you take part in any arguments. Getting along can be more helpful than being right. Aesthetic solutions help most problems at home, but don't spend money. Well, maybe a little – very carefully considered!
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): You have just the right balance of sweetness and assertion now to be wonderfully seductive. But will you respect yourself in the morning? Keep your values and priorities clean, and your relations, however casual, likewise.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Your sense of self is unusually muddled lately, making you more easily led by others. That may not be entirely bad. Stay true to core values, and watch your relations with a detached eye. You could learn important details about old patterns.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Use your charm and connections to get new work; your resume won't be enough. A quiet retreat with a few good friends, preferably older and male (or butch), will improve your mental health, and in turn, your physical well-being.
