Welcome back to the horoscope page, where each month you can read a fun take on the future and see the flower associated with your sign.
Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 20 / Flower: African violet
Your creativity and determination has paid off and you’ve seen a string of major successes at work. But don’t be alarmed if there is a slight lull in your progress. This is natural and you will rebound by month’s end. Be sure to make time to plan that romantic evening; otherwise your sweetie may feel neglected. And go on, wear that dress that borders on the risqué. Life is short, look cute!
Aquarius: Jan. 21-Feb. 19 / Flower: Orchid
When you meet a friend’s new romantic interest, you may be less than thrilled for her. Be diplomatic and see what happens; the situation could change quickly. You may get two cool invitations for the same night around the 21st. If you can swing it, try to make both. The first may be a good networking opportunity; the second may yield a fun flirtation.
Pisces: Feb. 20-March 20 / Flower: Alstroemeria
A change in your routine will do you a world of good. If you’ve been contemplating some volunteer work, go for it! This is an ideal time for extra projects because your energy will be high and your outlook bright. You’ve been frugal for the past several weeks, but the 14th is a fine day to indulge your inner Shop-a-holic. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder on the 31st.
Aries: March 21-April 20 / Flower: Tulip
Take pains to avoid getting stuck in the middle of a skirmish with your extended family. Listen to both sides and urge both to forgive and forget. You will get some good news on the financial front. Don’t worry about the past or the future; just be present in the moment and enjoy it as much as you can. If you’ve struggled through a harsh winter, why not welcome spring with a stunning bouquet of tulips?
Taurus: April 21-May 21 / Flower: Lily
You’ve been toying with starting a creative project, but have been hindered by scheduling obstacles. If not now, when? Remember Somerset Maugham’s wonderfully inspiring observation: Self-doubt is the bitterest enemy of the artist. A tense situation at work will ease. Don’t put pressure on a new romantic relationship. Have fun, be yourself and just see what happens!
Gemini: May 22-June 21 / Flower: Rose
Despite receiving an apology, you may not feel like forgiving. Give yourself time to think and figure out the best way forward. You will have a series of fun outings with your friends this month. Be sure to tell them how much you value their companionship. Make a point of listening to what your body is trying to tell you it wants – hint: plenty of sleep, fresh air and healthy food.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 / Flower: Delphinium
You will get the chance to acquire a new skill this month in an area where you have little experience. Turns out, though, you have a tremendous talent for this subject – who knew?! That looming deadline at work finally passes and you have a bit more free time on your hands. Be sure to reward yourself for a job well done. The 19th will be lucky.
Leo: July 23- Aug. 22 / Flower: Sunflower
You’re used to the spotlight, but for the first two weeks of March, it behooves you to step back, listen and observe. Besides, every performer needs a break from time to time! A promise you made may feel very hard to keep, but do your best to honor it; you’ll be rewarded in a surprising way. You’re set to receive great news the week of the 16th.
Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 23 / Flower: Daisy
A friend who is usually fiercely independent will suddenly be a bit needy. Keep some time open in your calendar, which will be particularly busy this month. A colleague may “borrow” an idea of yours, but don’t fret. You’ll find a graceful way to claim the credit you deserve and, besides, logical solutions come easy to you. Not every is so lucky. :)
Libra: Sept. 24-Oct. 23 / Flower: Hydrangea
The power of positive thinking will be oh so handy on the 16th. Don’t get too caught up in having a perfect plan. Go with the flow and let things happen spontaneously. Advice that once confused you now seems crystal clear. A minor annoyance will disappear on its own.
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 22 / Flower: Peony
A goodbye that seemed tough turns out to have a huge upside. For example: A free place to stay in a fun city! Your weekends will be full of romance this month. A friend may reveal something you’ve suspected for quite a while now. Be grateful that he/she made you part of the loop. The 27th turns out be an exciting day.
Sagittarius: Nov. 23-Dec. 21 / Flower: Carnation
Be patient with yourself this month – you have a lot to juggle. Trust your instincts at work and be the consummate professional, as always. Follow the urge to talk it out with your partner. Your sense of humor serves you well on the 25th. Make a point of smiling, just for the heck of it.
