TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you want yourself to move, don’t ask questions. Information that causes you to stop and ponder won’t lead to action. That’s because if you think too much, you won’t do it. So don’t think. Trust your intuitive sense of direction. Spirit trumps knowledge every time. Command yourself to act, and then do it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve been studying human nature all of your life. You don’t even realize the breadth of your knowledge, as you take most of it for granted. But you’ll meet someone who seems to be new to the topic this week, and you’ll be compelled to take this innocent being under your wing. This one will learn — eventually.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In case you’ve fallen a bit out of touch, those around you will act as mirrors, reporting on how you’ve been treating yourself. If you don’t like the way they treat you, change your you-to-you relations, and all will be improved. It’s amazing how quickly the remedy takes hold. By Thursday there’s a turnaround.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll move quickly. Money gets “wasted” along the way. It’s part of the process, and there’s no shame in it. You shouldn’t expect yourself to make wise financial moves 100 percent of the time. You’ll do your best. And besides, you never know what good the money that was once yours will do as it circulates.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are usually subtle and sensitive in your communication. However, that method may cause your message to get lost in the cacophony of this week. What you have to say is important. Take measures to grab the attention you want. Once you have it, you can return to your gentle manners.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Know where the boundaries are, and observe them. Social rules often go unstated. If you were not born into a family that carefully adheres to the rules, it will help you both in business, and in your personal life, to deepen your knowledge of etiquette. Formal grooming is available, and may be as simple as a library visit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are well liked. And though you always want to reciprocate, sometimes it feels as though you are too indebted to do so. Luckily, you will have many opportunities throughout your life to return the affection and kindness you have received. Try not to keep score. Enjoy the generosity bestowed upon you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are in the driver’s seat of your life, though there might be someone in the passenger seat who is advising you on which turn to take. You always have an option. Do not let anyone bully you into decisions. A good GPS system will recalculate the directions to help you get where you’re going.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t have to know how things work in order to work them. However, you’re better off learning how they work anyhow. When there’s a problem, it will be easier for you to solve it if you have a basic understanding of how everything comes together. Read, take tutorials and ask questions. Educate yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Where you’re traveling, there is no path. It’s wild, uncharted territory. You can’t sleepwalk there — you have to have your wits about you. Navigation will take skill, and you’ll be solving one problem after another. That’s why you need to stay open-minded. Rigid perspectives won’t lead you to the Promised Land.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Avoid overanalyzing. Instinct trumps intellect, though you may want to keep that your little secret. There are those around you who need to go through a logical process in order to feel good about a decision. They might be annoyed at how quickly you make powerful and correct choices by just going with your gut.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You are endowed with a great magnetic attraction, and will pull in what you think about most. It’s challenging to take charge of your thought processes; however, you will quickly see the benefits of doing so, as well as the dangers of not doing so. Popular and friendly, you may not have time to take advantage of all of the lovely offers made to you through fall. A savvy financial decision brings lifestyle improvements this winter. Spring brings excitement to your love life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you give as much as you do to an endeavor, it’s challenging to stay unattached to the outcome. However, you will notice this week that you can’t control everything and that you wouldn’t want to anyway. Stress goes away because you resolve to do your part and then let go. Life will surprise and awe you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What would you like to see happen in your relationships that would make you feel loved? Figure it out and give it to yourself instead of waiting for another person to provide it. Others will soon echo your fine treatment of yourself, contributing the things that bring you comfort, security and pleasure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Between your family, work, faith, friends and community, you are involved in many different social circles. One group stands out as being extremely important and enjoyable lately. You would miss it if it weren’t a part of your life. Do everything you can to be an effective member of that team.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you don’t understand why people behave as they do, you’re not alone. You’ll have to work extra hard at listening in order to set things right with the world. One loved one in particular is having a difficult time communicating. You’ll hear his person clearly when you do not anticipate what is going to be said.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you find yourself obsessing on the way others are acting, it’s a sign that you need to do what’s necessary to change your focus. Maybe you need to have a talk, change your agreements or decide on a different kind of relationship. Do what needs doing, and do it quick. Don’t let problems fester. Handle them fast.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be part of a team. You must rely on both your offense and defense. Stay aware of each person’s talents. There is a delicate balance here. Seize your chance to be the star, but only when you’re sure it’s your turn. Realize when to back down and let your teammate make the winning move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are certain rules that you follow, even though you have no idea what purpose your compliance will serve. You will be filled with curiosity this week, and you might be moved to pursue a better understanding of the structures by which you blindly abide. What you learn will help you to act with greater purpose.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’d like to discuss where a relationship is headed. You may be worried that the other person will be surprised by your feelings and not in a good way. Put off this conversation until next week — you’ll understand your heart more clearly then. Concentrate on treating yourself well. Everything will resolve for the best.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The people who are supposed to be in your support system may seem to have the opposite effect, draining your energy. Try not to take on too much. Be a little more selfish with your time, doing the things you want to do. After you make yourself happy, you’ll find that you like other people better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re fascinating, it’s true. Your friends, family and colleagues will ask you for more juicy details about your life this week, and you’ll come up with one tantalizing story after another. It’s important that you reciprocate social generosity. Be careful not to imagine that your travails are the only important ones.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It would be prudent to imagine the history of a relationship in a new light. Things haven’t always been smooth. Think about what your sign mate Pulitzer Prize winner Wallace Stegner once wrote: “Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You could be caught in a power struggle. To come out a winner in this one it will be necessary to see the situation from the other person’s perspective. Figure out what he or she is afraid of and also what really might be gained. Reduce your opponent’s fear, and he or she will soften. You prevail through compassion.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Your ambitions will be embraced by the powers that be. You are apt to think of ways to help other people succeed, and in the process you will be promoted. Lucky events happen after you attend a seminar, convention or exposition. You’ll get to know an intriguing someone in June. Your priorities shift in the fall, and you may decide that you need to relocate or retrain in order to pursue new horizons. Celebrations in August, October and December will be sweetly memorable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are being nudged along a risky path, perhaps by your own soul. Your fears come to the surface to keep you safe but you refuse to let them keep you small, too. Most of the danger is emotional — you could lose your old idea of who you are, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Wednesday is your luckiest day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You think of yourself as a work in progress, and you will improve by leaps and bounds. You notice how others could improve too, even when they believe that they are just fine and don’t need to change in any way. Be careful not to fall for someone’s potential — especially not a potential that the person doesn’t want to become.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re used to being a go-getter and perhaps a little high-strung as well. That’s why your current mood may feel strange. You’re accepting how things are and going with the flow, even when it’s not moving at all. When you’re ready to move, you will — and it will be effortless, like you’re being compelled forward.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s the ideal week to forget logic and take things in a more fanciful direction. Your body follows your mind. Dwell on beautiful images of yourself frolicking in a most desirable circumstance. You are an exceptionally powerful visionary, and in a short period of time you may be able to dream yourself into a new reality.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your powers of empathy are strong and you soak up the emotions of those around you. Some kind of performance or heightened emotional scenario will take place late in the week. You’re not nervous for yourself, though you may be anxious because you want others to do well. You’re a valuable member of your team.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You desire a harmonious environment and therefore you are willing to do what it takes to get along. Your nearest and dearest will appreciate the way you match his or her pace, mirror his or her mannerisms and adopt his or her priorities — at least temporarily. The result: Your sacrifices are rewarded and you get what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Instead of bemoaning what is lacking in a relationship, you capitalize on what is working. You realize that one relationship cannot be your whole world and that you are enriched in different ways by different people. A close relationship is strengthened because you take off the pressure of overexpectation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One who doesn’t think like you could halt the action in your part of the world. At first you’ll probably be stymied. Change shoes with the other person. It’s not entirely possible to see the world as this person does but with a little effort you can at least get a good sense of where this person is coming from.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You like solving problems, especially the ones that most people would rather avoid. It’s your eagerness to take problems head on that will promote you both at work and in your personal life this week. You save yourself and others from hours of future grief because you tackle issues immediately as they arise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To give yourself a chance to triumph is to risk failure. It’s easier when you have people telling you that you really can do it. Wednesday through Saturday you are in such a gregarious mood that new supporters will flock to you. Your love life improves too, as all the attention makes you feel so attractive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are so many interpretations of reality. We humans are constantly distorting our experiences to fit our identity. An earnest attempt to understand someone could entirely change your perspective. It may be uncomfortable at first to lose your preconceived notions but you’ll do it and be enhanced by the journey.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You are the master of your fate and prove it at every turn this year. Your hopeful vision leads you into an unusual situation in April. You can do remarkable good before the summer starts. Your love life takes an enthusiastic turn in June and you become smitten by someone new, or you fall for the same person all over again. Work developments spring from the social happenings you attend in July. August and December show you leaving home and returning fully inspired.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Usually you work hard to stay positive. You strive to see things from the best angle, and when you can’t, you ask for help from optimistic people. Give yourself a break this week. You are, after all, a human being with a wide array of emotions. Just see things as you see them, without judging yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The destiny you want for yourself seems a little far-fetched, which is why it’s good to keep it quiet. If you tell people and they don’t agree you can make it, you’ll be infected by their doubt. On the other hand, your private belief will make the impossible possible. You’ll have to stretch to meet this fate, but meet it you will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It may seem as though fun and laughter are luxuries this week. Luckily, you don’t have to pursue happiness in order to find it. In fact, following your bliss might be the last thing on your mind these days. You’re doing what you have to do because you know it’s right. Happiness just happens to be one of the byproducts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Though everyone has to find their individual path sooner or later, this is no time to strike out and wander on your own. Right now it would be a waste of time, as there are stellar opportunities at stake. Work from a guide. Cull your inspiration from those who have already been to the promised land and back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s simple to achieve lightheartedness. All that is required is that you stick with your own mission and let others deal with theirs. You can still offer to help, but when you do, you may realize that some people don’t want help, only attention and permission to complain. Saturday brings a joyful, wondrous occurrence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your personal rhythms change. Maybe you used to be a night person and suddenly you feel most productive in the morning. Or maybe the places that used to energize you seem stale and an entirely different environment gets you snapping along at an invigorating pace. Move with what feels natural.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Making improvements is practically effortless this week because you want what also happens to be the best for you. Even though technically there might be more work involved, it just feels fun to you. You could even acquire a taste for leafy green vegetables or literature that will last your whole life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re in top form. That said, all you can do is all you can do. When it works, great! If not, shrug it off. This is no time to start taking things personally. Assume that any opportunity you are not able to take advantage of wasn’t meant for you. Keep reiterating that you are always in the perfect place at the right time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you do what makes you feel comfortable, you make the world an easier place to inhabit for others, too. You create an environment around you that people can relate to and feel good in. You’ll have guests and shouldn’t be surprised if they never want to leave. Though inconvenient, this is a huge compliment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve been supportive of others — now turn those powerful thoughts toward your own endeavors. A reality check on Friday is liberating. You will find out the actual risk involved in an action so there will be no need for stress, worry or speculation. On Saturday, you will make your decision and then stand strong behind it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know what’s real when you see it. You’re not afraid of frank truths and can quickly accept circumstances for what they are. However, your imagination is supercharged this week, too. Keep looking deeper into situations until you find the meaning, romance, poetry and harmony that you seek.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Oddly enough, people who are on top of the world and experiencing high-flying success may not be half as happy as those who are struggling. Much is going well for you now, but not all of it — and that’s OK. Things don’t have to be in perfect order for you to experience great joy. You’ll laugh through the weekend.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You really are finding it easier to be you, to like you and to enjoy the quirks of your own personality. Perhaps this is made easier because someone near you finds you entirely adorable. In April, make a decision about what to discard to get ready for a big addition to your life. Your career path weaves and winds in June, and you’ll meet interesting and inspiring characters along the way. You earn double in July. You will be finished with a pesky problem for good in August — what a relief!

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve been lending your talents to the one who needs them most, or the highest bidder. Unfortunately, your joy has somehow drained out of the transaction. Take the time to use your gifts for your own benefit and in a way that will make you happy. An hour a day is scarcely enough, but would be a remarkable start.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It falls on you to make sure everyone feels respected and important. You don’t have to invent ways of doing this. Consult the etiquette books. It feels great to make a proper introduction, give a gracious compliment or perform as a consummate host. Your social success affects all other areas of your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are sensitive to change that may or may not affect you, like the wind changing directions or a loved one changing his or her mind. Breathe through the edgier feelings. Find a way to relax. The most important thing is that you don’t worry. Imagine the best outcome and dwell on that thought until it comes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be thinking and acting creatively to solve problems. Your style might be too hard to follow for some. You see the rules as merely guideposts, while someone you are working with sees them as ironclad law. Your best bet is to quietly do your own thing, and if necessary you can always ask for pardon later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep it simple. You are worthy of love and adoration just as you are. There is no need to work hard to impress anyone. When you find yourself making a vigorous effort, consider whether you are doing what’s best for all. Give yourself plenty of caring attention and the rocky road of life suddenly smoothes out before you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Talk to upbeat colleagues and choose happy friends. A person who gets huffy over the slightest social infraction or stays silently, obviously mad is not a person you need to get involved with. Avoid those who use a theatrical display of feelings to punish others and you will stay immune to their emotional tyranny.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Attitude has everything to do with how relationships play out. Loved ones may get demanding. The real reason behind their requests is that they need assurance of your loyalty. Make a big gesture. Don’t let pride get in the way of your enthusiasm. Be effusive. Show your love and you won’t have to do much else.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Many will come to you with their problems — you’ll wonder whether you should go into the business of therapy! Psychically shield yourself from getting too involved. Your objective, unemotional responses will be helpful. As for your own issue, the answer is right in front of you — you just weren’t seeing it before.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unexpected twists might startle you at first, but don’t let anything stop you from generating positive energy. Thursday, stay cool even when the whole world seems to be running late. A premium opportunity goes to you just because you’re more present to the moment than the others around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes your role as the ultra-responsible hard worker gets a little boring for you. You fantasize what it would be like to be a creative slacker, a loveable goof or a foolish romantic. There will be opportunities to experiment with different roles this week. Expect an enlightened outcome when you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Yes, there are times when it really does seem that you can have and do it all. Those winning streaks are made possible by the lessons you learn when it’s not going so smoothly, and also by the breaks you take to relax and reflect. Demand less of yourself. Cut your to-do list in half. Get more help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ennui sets in, and this is actually quite positive. It helps you raise the stakes and play life in a bigger arena. Whatever it was you were looking forward to, it probably wasn’t enough. Juice up your rewards. Commit to scarier challenges. Ultimately, you create amazing momentum toward your goals this week.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You will be admirably reflective this year, unafraid to look within yourself to clear the ideas that held you back from the things you wanted in years before. Your commitment to a special person will give you a tremendous sense of purpose and fill your days with joy. There’s a good reason to travel in April. Friends and laughter fill June. July brings a financial breakthrough, possibly related to using your talents in a different way. Family reunions and additions are featured in the late summer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may be the warrior of the zodiac, but your heart is tender and compassionate this week. You’ll wind up in a position to protect others from the harshness of the world. You will shield loved ones from rejection, soften strong news and put a positive spin on everything that unfolds. You and yours are happier as a result.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). So much is going on for you these days, and it will help you learn to make an elegant exit. Whether it’s the closing of a deal, a conversation or an entire relationship, long drawn-out endings are uncomfortable. Resolve to make all your endings swift and smooth, ideally without explanation or apology.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want attention, but not too much attention. Figuratively speaking, the red carpet treatment would be too chaotic — people clamoring to capture what you represent instead of understanding who you really are. You’d rather the world be your stage, where your audience sits politely to take in your performance.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just as individuals tend to resonate at a particular mood, groups of people radiate a vibration that is more or less the average of the individual tone of each person in the group. Gravitate to the gatherings that seem rich in warmth and lively humor. You belong where there is an abundance of good cheer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Work is on the upswing. An influx of money brings with it new hope. Friends at a distance will make plans to be with you. You’ll soon learn the small things that have changed in the lives of others and be inspired by the way others maneuver life. All the sharing you do bodes well for the future of your relationships.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is a never-ending supply of love available to you this week. Sweet gestures from friends, family closeness and romantic intrigue will contribute to your confidence. When your personal life hums a happy melody, the other elements click into place — like fulfilling work and enough money to cover the bills.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your idea is finally getting wings, though it won’t fly by itself just yet. Sure, it may be tricky to get this project off the ground, but it’s not rocket science. The obvious methods work for the first few steps, and then you’ll have to do some research. Assemble the perfect team to complement your talents.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Social graces will help you get where you want to go this week. You teach yourself a little bit more about successful human relations with every encounter. Mirror others. Meet them at their pace. You’re a sought-after partner in fun on Friday and Saturday. When a Leo extends an invitation, laughs are guaranteed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Style matters — not a little bit but a lot. You’ll be assessing the impact of your current look and making some decisions about how you would like to be perceived in the future. Put more thought than money into this process. A few strong choices are all you need to achieve your desired effect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may seem that people approach from a needy place. Family asks for your involvement in things you don’t think have much to do with you. A romantic partner craves reassurance of your love. It’s all because you’re so strong. Luckily for all, you are also compassionate and likely to help others feel more secure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a talent for taking care of business. A deal that didn’t work out in the past will get a total makeover. Be willing to change the cast of characters involved. Venture out to different areas. You’re wiser now and more able to add value to your offerings. The new way works so much better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Putting in the extra work hours this week helps you live in the manner you prefer. You don’t mind working a little harder to make your surroundings unique. You value the things that are hard to come by, rare or expensive. The same goes for your personal life. Someone elusive captures your attention Friday.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ve come a long way, and it’s time to celebrate your wins. There’s glamour about you as you gather with friends and family this week. Being the center of attention boosts your confidence. Let the high carry you into a new arena. The next 10 weeks show you extending your reach and learning to mingle well among a different set of people. You’ll showcase your talent in May, perhaps in the form of a presentation. Financial means are more abundant in June. A July vacation is divine.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Resolve to take nothing personally this week, and you will be in a position to joyfully embrace opportunity. If a friend doesn’t return your call, it’s not you. That person isn’t returning anyone’s call, probably due to circumstances that overwhelm him or her. Go where the energy is reciprocated, and you will be successful.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Perhaps the person you were looking for to fulfill a certain role in your life was there all along. Consider the potential usefulness of family and neighbors and the benefit of doing projects with people you know well, as opposed to perfect strangers who have the so-called credentials. Trust accounts for a lot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To have someone to watch over you may seem romantic. However, self-sufficiency is what makes life truly wonderful. Long ago, you decided to co-manage your life with the forces of the universe instead of relying on a person, corporation or government. Now you’re reinforcing that decision with action.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your turn to be in charge is coming. This week, it may seem hard to step aside, listen and learn, especially when the person delivering information seems inexperienced. However, there are priceless nuggets of wisdom in the exercise of humility, which you’ll later be able to apply in a practical and lucrative way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fashion is fickle, and you are busy updating yours, ousting the old. Others you know are doing the same. Luckily, your friends go deeper than a fashion statement. On Thursday, call the one you’re not so sure about, and you’re likely to find out that you’re still very much “in,” though the relationship needs freshening up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Forgiveness is a healthy habit. This week you open up and let the beautiful yellow sun thaw a little frozen spot in your heart. It’s likely that whoever hurt you didn’t even realize what was going on. Once you forgive, the other person will instinctively feel like doing something nice for you, and they won’t even know why.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This is your week to thoroughly understand the way things add up in your life. The slightest change in the way you keep track of your work and results will affect you profoundly. Like a person who counts calories for the first time, some of the numbers will be eye-opening. Make new plans based on the data you collect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s easy for you to be kind and generous, though it does help when the person you are being generous toward is appreciative and tells you (and everyone else who will listen) how great you are. This week it will be a powerful and lucky move to do secret good for others. Give generously, and don’t tell a soul.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Each day of this week is better than the last, though appearances sometimes indicate otherwise. Some improvements are immeasurable or look a lot more like deterioration. The universe is progressing unpredictably, but know that it is progressing in the best possible way for you and all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your talent is unique and so is the way you produce results. A clock-watching friend makes you ultra-aware of the amount of unproductive time being “wasted” in pursuit of a project. You might remind this person that sometimes the best ideas come while you are on a so-called break.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It seems every day is an effort to get organized, and yet things still are out of place. Help is on its way in the form of a system, person or desire to purge with gusto. Here’s a guiding principle: focus more on what you have than on what you want. All of the work will pay off, and, by Saturday, you’ll be satisfied.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have an inkling that you had a hand in creating the problem that’s been irking you so. And you’re right. Maybe you needed the challenge, wanted to test boundaries or were just in an experimental mood. Anyway, taking responsibility was the hardest part and now everything will be pretty easily solved.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You are anchored in a stable worldview. Because you see things as they really are, you’re able to mine the best out of each situation. Your ego gets out of the way, and success is reached more readily. You care less about satisfying your needs and more about the needs of others, and so are rewarded with gratitude and support, both emotional and financial. April is especially beneficial to your love life. There’s a spotlight on your talent in May. Family unification happens in July.
