CANCER
Jun 22nd-Jul 22nd

Your coworkers owe you favors because really, how often should you be counted on to chuckle every time a friend does a Ricky Bobby imitation or some other funny trick. That has been done over and over again. From your experience, you realize that security is a myth - relationships are not all that they are cracked up to be are they? You are comfy in your aloneness for the first time in a long time and it's refreshing for you. Striking out on your own is not something your partner is used to, but right now, you are feeling empowered, with Venus in your sign and Mars in your spiritual zone. Just don't make him or her feel less than while you get out there and fulfill your destiny. Check in with them every now and again.

LEO
Jul 23rd - Aug 22nd

Feeling rather flat and lifeless? You need an adventure - an outing, a cosmic pick me up. The Moon lights up your stage early in the week and you feel encouraged to get your groove and get your groove. Rules are rules when single. No flirting with your friend's bf, no hitting on your friends' exes either...doesn't leave much room for flirting does it? You might have to head out for 'fresh meat' in a new part of town. Keep your wits about you this week when it comes to your partner and the shenanigans he/she might or might not be up to. The more you push for answers and dig for secrets, the more you'll find out and the more you will feel you are onto something...when you might not be at all.

VIRGO
Aug 23rd - Sep 22nd

If you want to reach that next tax bracket, you know it's not going to happen at your current gig. It's time to move on, pack up your kit and caboodle and find someone who appreciates you more and is willing to show it monetarily. Pay close attention to your intuition midweek, when you meet someone who on paper is your perfect match, but whom your inner voice doesn't like much at all. Who are you going to go with - paper or intuition? Your relationship needs a major evaluation this weekend when you once again find yourselves squabbling about silly stuff - like the fact he loves wearing undies with holes in them or she thinks his mom is right about something you know she's completely wrong about. Isn't love grand?

LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 23rd

Jealousy does one thing quickly and efficiently - it makes you look and feel ugly. So if it gets to the point where you're considering dumping Visine into someone's Red Bull, call a friend...or your mom. Micromanage losers at work this week - even if it means labeling your food and beverages with a 'back off' sticky note. Unless of course it's that cutie dipping who's been dipping into your supplies - then it's okay! Just make sure you let him/her know he/she owes you a lunch/dinner...__ Stop overanalyzing every little thing your better half says and does right now. Leave him/her be to his/her own little mess and go on about your business, looking fly and flirting just enough to make you realize you've 'got it going on'.

SCORPIO
Oct 24th - Nov 21st

Get rid of extra baggage this week and over the next few weeks. It's time for a cosmic colonic Scorpios, and you can start with those hand me downs you've kept hanging in your closet (which were handed down for one reason - they're horrendous!) Examine your most recent fling carefully and decide if you want to up the ante with this person or bail (yes it is that black and white for you). Something that has been bothering you for the longest time regarding your relationship is up for discussion this weekend, so don't avoid it or sideline it for a future time. Deal now!

SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22nd - Dec 21st

This is not the time to lend your siblings money. Sure you want to help out, but you've done it before and its caused problems, so don't fall into that trap again. Quit pining for Mr. Right/Ms.Right and focus on Mr./Ms. Maybe. You aren't in the right place to meet a soul mate match with your ruler Jupiter out of phase. It's time to 'test run' the boys and wait it out. Just say whatever it is you need to say to your partner this week - no sugar coating it either. You're known for being a straight shooter, so what's happened to you lately?

CAPRICORN
Dec 22nd - Jan 19th

Don't be backward in coming forward and telling a friend to kindly shut up already and quit bossing you around. If anyone's going to do any bossing, it's going to be you (especially when you are involved!) Bond with a new coworker and make him or her feel welcome. Who knows, they just might have a cute brother/friend or roommate and you'll get first dibs on him/her!_ Don't pin your partner down this week and force him or her to do things they really don't want to do. Go with the flow and if he or she comes along to your parents for dinner or goes shopping with you for 'home goods' - great. If not, that's fine too.

AQUARIUS
Jan 20th - Feb 18th

Hit the rewind button in your mind and go over all those things that haven't worked out the way you wanted them to work out so far this year. Was it when you trusted your first choice and go with your gut? Probably...hopefully lesson learned. A friend is going to come down on you this weekend about your love life (after more than her fair share of cocktails btw). As harsh as she or he sounds, a lot of what they say makes sense. Ouch! Enjoy the weekend with the Moon in relationship oriented Libra, but know that light conversations can quickly become intense, so stay away from hot button topics you and your partner always clash over.

PISCES
Feb 19th- Mar 20th

If you need to mix and mingle or wine and dine clients, this is the week to do it - as you're at your charming and effusive best. Just avoid dishing about your boss or coworkers - it will get back and it will be exaggerated! You like romance - flowers, candles and schmaltzy love chitchat. But it's not likely you're going to get that with the guy you're currently interested in. He's more into fish and chips washed down with a cold beer - keep looking! Or that girl you are trying so hard to impress who doesn't seem to get what a great catch you are. And never will. Patience comes easily to you - a good thing this weekend when your partner takes a ridiculously long time primping in front of the mirror. Avoid nagging and teasing him/her though about their 'face time' - they might not take it as a joke!

ARIES
Mar 21st - Apr 19th

Assert your independence this week. You've been ridden hard of late, and it's your time to take the reins and ride rough over everyone who's had fun with your tragic life recently. Revenge is sweet!__ Your nerdy roomie or kooky neighbor may bring someone exciting into your life this week, so be nice for a change and eat that casserole they keep forcing on you. Then get the hook up! Strike while the cosmic iron is hot and you have Mars on your side - the planet that doesn't take "no" for an answer. And neither should you Ram gents and ladies - either from your man, lady, coworker or your crazy sister or brother.

TAURUS
Apr 20th - May 20th

Adopt a new wide-eyed earnestness of a puppy midweek, even if your world is all too adult and scary. Others pick up on your good vibrations and will be far more likely to help you pick up the pieces of your life without expecting much in return. Bite the bullet and call him or her people. The old adages of the man calling the woman disappeared out the window with digital watches. Besides, he/she may have punched the wrong digits into their mobile and have a legit reason why they haven't' called. You'll score major bonus points by doing something your partner has wanted you to do for some time, but recently gave up on requesting due to the fact you were so 'anti it'. See, you can be flexible at times!

GEMINI
May 21st - Jun 22nd

Shut your yap and stop dispensing advice to a confused friend, or you'll find yourself sitting on the couch, stuffing your face in a velvet tracksuit and totally friendless this weekend, and the weekend after that too... Mercury, the planet of chitchat (and the reason behind your dear diary persona right now), remains in your sign for one more week. If you are out on a date, you're better off zipping your mouth shut with tape than spewing forth on every bad date you've ever had on your new suitor. Sure you want your partner to be the best that he or she can be, but its got to be on their terms not yours. Forcing your fashion opinions, coworker advice and what not to do versus what they should do in your opinion is just that...your opinion. And let's face it twinsters, you've got a lot of bloody opinions!
