Q Scopes
Mercury and Mars are lined up in Aquarius provoking wild impulses of word and deed, all too easily going dangerously overboard. As they aspect Saturn in Virgo, sensible restraint may come a bit tardy, and feel too much like nagging. Try to engage some critical foresight before it's too late!
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Showing off and accepting friendly dares can get you badly hurt. Instead, focus your wit on actions you can take to improve your work and your well-being. Friendly suggestions should be considered only as a spur to better ideas.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): New ideas can boost your career, but don't go too far out on a limb. While revolutionary approaches have their day, this ain't it! Get creative with careful, traditional methods and discuss improvements with your boss or some experts first!
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Arguments are too likely to go to overheated extremes. If there's any possibility of make-up sex, scream and shout! Otherwise try your best to be civil and open-minded. Family disagreements can be especially volatile. You can call Mom next week.
CANCER (June 21- July 22): Keeping the fire in your relationship is less a problem than keeping the flames where they belong! Air your disagreements in a calm respectful manner and save the screaming, yelling craziness for bed!
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Arguments over money come way too easily. Behind that touchiness lie real troubles that need addressing. Stay calm, meditate, relax. You're too prone to getting unduly excited, which only exacerbates the problem and blocks any solution.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Saturn in your sign can make you feel old, but take that as a challenge to be more responsible. To restore your youth, start or revise an exercise plan that you can focus on and commit to!
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): There may be a touch of desperation in your efforts to play. This could feed artistic creativity (It made Edvard Munch famous!) or undermine your social efforts. Don't take out your frustration on folks at home.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Political arguments at home can help you hone your ideals, maybe see better how they fit with reality. They could also change how you relate to your family, but don't let your temper lead you to precipitous or hurtful decisions.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Try to keep arguments out of work. That's what friends and siblings are for. Those disputes could help you re-evaluate your work and career, but stay calm with colleagues and bosses, especially if you really must be critical – or get criticized!
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Money is an especially touchy subject and could start arguments. The less you like hearing the other side, the better you should listen. Impulse spending is like heroin right now. Avoid it the best you can.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Take time away to figure out what's making you so bloody touchy. Your attitude may provoke people to think you should be tied down and flogged. That could actually help, but you have to ask the right person nicely for it.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): A generous idealist by nature, you often expect and desire a return of more than others can give. Taking a quiet retreat away from everyone will be good for all involved. If you must have company, choose very carefully!
