Horoscopes
Venus and Mars are moving into difficult aspects with Pluto and Saturn, respectively. Recent efforts at seduction are likely to go awry. Trying to walk away gracefully may be as difficult as efforts to fix the problem. Still, Jupiter's in the game, so opportunity is easy to find, although hard to develop.
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Collaboration is a tough balance between the urge to get the job done, and the worry about getting it right. Everyone has a different perspective. Some arguing can help to get all views out. Take charge by making everyone feel heard and included.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Finding out what your partner needs sexually can be challenging. A simple Q & A doesn't seem to help. Try something new and different; at least, offer some possibilities, the kinkier the better. Learning new techniques together is great!
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): "Home improvement" is pretty subjective, and someone will likely be displeased with your efforts. Co-operation is possible, but not easy. Someone where you work or work out would rather play. It seems like a great opportunity, but it will get complicated!
CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Conversations with your family (of origin or choice) are getting complicated. Disagreements need to be addressed – gently, please! Working together on necessary chores helps. Take time to play, too!
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Housework is the one thing that goes easily now, and it could even offer some relaxation. Think about what's really important at a personal level before discussing questions of moral or political values.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Efforts to be incisive and analytical can come off as more bitchy and confrontational than you intend. Efforts to soften things with a playful approach can easily backfire. Just put some extra effort into being nice.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Your worries are exaggerated, but reduced to a realistic size, there is probably something to them. You can find comfort and some solution in traditional, homey, familial values, and sharing deeply with a trusted friend.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Your energy and strength are more than you realize. One on one, you can win people over with your powerful attitude; in any kind of group activity, especially politics, you can easily go over the top, alienating others. Try to be gentle!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Hidden treasures will be revealed! Putting them to use may be a problem, even a preoccupation. Don't let any of that distract you from challenges at work. Networking with colleagues can arouse the suspicion of superiors.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Some truths are too big to sort out and dissect. Frustrating as that can be, don't take it out on bosses or experts. Rather, enlist their aid, or offer yours – they are probably wrestling with the same issues.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): You're coming off harder, meaner, and sexier than you probably realize. A little time out for meditation will help soften your image. Once better centered, being outspoken and adventurous will highlight your sexiness. Not fussing about being sexy is even sexier!
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Friends will help you see the long view and larger issues in personal problems, but with career questions, their intentions are better than their advice. Your own expertise and professionalism are all you need there. Confidence at work boosts your sex appeal, and vice versa!
