Q Scopes
This week's lunar eclipse will be partially visible in New Zealand, but felt everywhere as brainstorms lead too easily to arguments. Rather than inadvertently showing off what you don't know, think about what you need to learn.
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Turn on the charm at work! Just be careful not to be too pushy about it. Jealous colleagues may accuse you of brown nosing. Be considerate of them, but don't worry too much about it. If you can't win, don't play the game.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Playful teasing can easily get out of hand. That could goad you into adventures that will test your limits. Be careful what you talk yourself into. You're likely to discover things about yourself that you've tried not to admit.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Conversations with friends can easily degenerate into arguments. What do you need to prove? In the larger sense, aren't you on the same side? Sexual tension may be feeding into the stress. Keep your home neat and ready for company.
CANCER (June 21- July 22): Pay attention to anxieties, especially those that may seem trivial or exaggerated. They can teach you a lot about yourself. New info from a distant relative or a spiritual teacher can help you better to understand family problems.
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Some playfulness is good for the soul. Worrying too much about the outcome inhibits your creativity and your growth. Get wild! What you release can offer insight into your work and your health.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Burying problems at home will only make them worse. Go ahead, have the arguments and get them out of the way. Just remember that one of you is wrong and will realize it soon. Even odds on who that is!
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Work out any domestic problems with your domestic partner, especially where money's involved. No partner? Down-home charm and fashions can help you find one. Some witty flirtation will help get things started.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): As Shakespeare said, "Neither a lender nor a borrower be." Arguments with friends over money can lead to betrayal, hurting you a lot more than you would expect. Don't worry about the future. You'll figure it out as it comes present.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Standing up to authority will only get you smacked down. Friends you expect to be on your side won't be. It's possible you could be wrong. Think ahead! Be very pragmatic about your goals and how you intend to make them.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Working hard is necessary. Working "too" hard is dangerous. Proper breaks and rest help you work smarter, not harder. If you must tear apart authority figures, make sure they're far away. Politicians are always fair game.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Listen to that deep inner voice as you consider sexual adventures. Just trying to prove yourself can lead to injuries. Be especially careful of your mid and lower backside. Talking with a sibling about family history can be amazingly healing.
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Turn lazy moods into times for creative reverie. Tough, honest introspection yields powerful insights. You may not like what you see, but remember you often go hard on yourself. Guard against crankiness with your partner. You may need to face some hard truths there, too!
