ARIES (March 21–April 20): Take advantage of an opportunity that you have been considering, Aries. If you know what you want, go out and make it happen. Do what it takes to impress others.
TAURUS (April 21–May 21): Taurus, you are always ready to defend your own turf and quick to offer your opinions, even if it means being blunt. You may have to play it a little cool this week.
GEMINI (May 22–June 21): Gemini, hiding your feelings for some time is a recipe for unhealthy pressure. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind when your input is sought.
CANCER (June 22–July 22): Cancer, it is a good idea to give people the benefit of the doubt, but don’t overlook your gut instincts. It is always a good idea to be cautious when meeting new people.

VIRGO (Aug. 24–Sept. 22): Virgo, you don’t have to have superhero levels of energy each and every day. If you are not feeling fully up to the tasks at hand this week, give yourself a well-earned breather.
LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 23): You are typically deft at keeping your emotions on a short leash, Libra. But every once in a while you can’t fully rein things in. Others will understand an outburst is out of character.
