TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
Getting to work and putting your energies into getting something in place will get you more recognition than anything else. You could feel as though there have been many things holding you back of late but it has been more about giving you the time to contemplate where you find yourself and what you should commit to.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
You can get a lot of attention personally, whether you set out to seek this or not. It would warn you not to do anything you don’t want to be seen doing. You could come to realise things that need to take importance, which could include situations you should act on. How somebody else could influence your future could become obvious.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
This is a good time to look at any situation that has been distracting you or taking up too much of your time. You could begin to realise that when it comes to more long term matters you need to be more definite about what you hope to gain or what you might need to do to gain the knowledge or skills to get what you want.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
You can become aware of situations going on behind the scenes of which you can do little about just yet. Much is attached to the expectations of others and any obligations this would mean for you. The main thing is to ask a lot of questions, mostly in the direction of details and how anything could affect what you already have in place.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
It is important you put your personal security first, whether this be financial or otherwise. Don’t let matters slide when it comes to what is right. This could bring up circumstances where those who have authority need to use it to ensure that anybody who is not doing things as they should be done is held to account.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct.22)
Opportunities involving other people can present themselves. Things may not be totally straightforward when it comes to future development. You need to be alert to some sort of duality that might exist. You need to put your priorities forward in a clear precise manner. Where you are not prepared to compromise is a good start.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
This is a good time to gain recognition – this could mean your own authority being taken seriously or somebody who has authority and is in a position to support you will. You need to be across the details in some way. This might be to counter somebody who has some doubts or wants to cast doubt upon your capabilities. There will be no doubt about the attention someone else expects to get. It might seem over the top. You have the ability to be in better control of your own situation. It is just a matter of weighing up, in your own mind, the options you have available to you. Past experience here can be a big help with mental clarity.
You could be hard to get out of relaxation mode. There could be expectations placed on you to come up with something that is creative in some way. It might pay you to think about how you want to be seen in the future or what you want to be recognised for. It will be up to you to think this out and set things in motion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
There can be no doubt about work that needs to be done in some way. You will see it clearly and you need to put your energies into getting it done. This could lead to changing normal routines for the better. If you have been slack when it comes to taking care of yourself, now would be a good time to get that under better control.
Winding up something that has been a big job that has not necessarily been that straightforward can give you a sense of satisfaction. If this has involved finances, you could now be at a point where you feel you have things under better control. What others might expect could become more obvious. There is no need to comment.
ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Focus on matters that need winding up, especially if they take up more time than you initially thought they would. Your desire to put more energy into the things that you enjoy will be highly stimulated. The opportunity to establish more balance between what you have to do and what you like to do exists, so may use of it.
