Don’t keep giving YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION someone the runaround. Be strong and let people know your thoughts even if you think their feelings will be hurt. Your job is to protect your emotions. Other people can handle their own. Be aggressive if you have to. You’re at a dramatic climax in your monthly (Apr 21st - May 21st) emotional cycle today. It’s quite possible that you will erupt like a volcano. Don’t be ashamed about releasing these emotions. Your feminine and masculine natures are connected, and they’re working harmoniously to express themselves to the fullest. Open up the gates of communication. Your philanthropic side may want to come out (May 22nd - Jun 21st) and do good works today. Your default mode is to care for others. This is fine, but make sure it doesn’t deplete your vital life force. The key is to offer advice and then walk away from the situation. You aren’t responsible for other people’s actions. Offer information, but leave the final decision up to the person you’re trying to help. Today is a terrific day, and you can get a (June 22nd - July 23rd) lot accomplished using your quick mind and sharp wit. Information is flying quickly. Grab what resonates with you and discard the rest. The more informed you are, the better equipped you will be to handle the decisions of the day. Get all the facts before you proceed.

(Sep 24th - Oct 23rd) Don’t automatically assume that you can BEETLE BAILEY R work out all your problems alone. Just talking things out with others may help shed light on a situation that baffled you earlier. Enlist the help of others in areas where you need it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for assistance. We all have problems and issues to deal with. You aren’t alone.

(Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Get up early and get working. You have a lot of emotional and physical energy that should help you accomplish whatever you need to do. The planetary energy is on your side. Take advantage of it to say what’s on your mind and get a step closer to wherever you need to be. Your active, receptive nature is prominent. You should be able to find a healthy balance. Speak up today. Perhaps no one has heard (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) your point of view in a while. More than likely, it’s incredibly important for them to hear it. Just because people don’t ask for your opinion YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION doesn’t mean that it isn’t valid. You have S U D O K U incredible insight that others don’t have. Don’t assume that they know what you’re thinking even though you probably know what they’re thinking. (Dec 22nd- Jan 20th) Someone has just turned on the fan and papers are flying everywhere. The pace is picking up and you’re scrambling to pick up the pieces. Stay in close communication with others today, for this will be your saving grace. You may require others’ help to gather the documents that have blown across the room. Keep an eye on things so you don’t lose your place.

(Jan 21st - Feb 19th) No one is going to cater to your needs today, so get up and do things on your own. There’s little sympathy from others, and strong opinions are a dime a dozen. There’s a great deal of gossip buzzing around that you may be tempted to join. Don’t enable this sort of behaviour. It’s only going to alienate you from others in the end. Listen closely to the wind, for the answers are (Feb 20th - Mar 20th) blowing right in front of you. Make contact with people you haven’t heard from in a while.
