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
Will you make the same mistake twice? Not likely, given your natural practicality and common sense. But beware: A new development in your personal life may lead to recklessness (yes, recklessness) if you're not even more careful than usual. Trust your gut, stay true to yourself and you will triumph! A financial worry will subside by midmonth.
Aquarius: Jan. 21-Feb. 19 / Flower: Orchid
A cold case file will open with a bang. It may or may not have a romantic slant. Regardless, don't worry about crafting the "right" script or creating the "right" look before seeing this person again. The reunion will bring joy and understanding, and will lead to a grand moment of self-discovery. In fact, this month will be full of pivotal moments. Make a point of giving back on the 18th.
Pisces: Feb. 20-March 20 / Flower: Alstroemeria
An affair of the heart will need to be assessed and addressed. Be honest, be gentle, be patient; especially with yourself. Then remember that most people try their best, but they may lack your depth and maturity. At the same time, it's OK to indulge your natural tendency to nurture. Be sure to reward yourself for a job well done around midmonth. The 22nd-25th will be lucky days!
Aries: March 21-April 20 / Flower: Tulip
This month you are ready to let your hair down and have some fun! Why not try something totally different – a night of flamenco dancing, say. Also, you may reconnect with a childhood acquaintance. Resist the urge to judge this person and instead cherish the rich history of your friendship. You will overcome a small hurdle on the 14th.
Taurus: April 21-May 21 / Flower: Lily
Clearing a closet or doing some spring cleaning will lead to the mental clarity you need to make a decision. Also remember that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Around the 22nd, you may need to make a graceful exit: simply smile and step back. If a friend asks you to lend your professional services, be wary of donating too much time for free.
Gemini: May 22-June 21 / Flower: Rose
You may be called on to give a speech or make toast at a special event. Funny is good but if that doesn’t feel right, just come prepared and you’ll be terrific. And any event is even more special with fresh flowers! Indulge your passion for the arts at the end of the month. On the romance front, if single, don’t put all your eggs in one basket; if attached, don’t lose sight of your indie spirit.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 / Flower: Delphinium
A promise or promotion that seemed a sure thing goes off kilter. Turns out, that's not a setback so much as a catalyst to craft a new and better plan. Let yourself be disappointed, then rebound by setting goals, creating a timetable and making it happen. In the end, you'll be grateful for the detour. This is a great time to plan that vacation you've been thinking about.
Leo: July 23- Aug. 22 / Flower: Sunflower
Remember these beautiful words from William Blake: "No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings." This will be a month of delightful independence and exciting exploration for you. The trick is staying in exploration mode, ie don't commit to any thing major and don't take the first thing that's offered just because it's there. Just have fun and see where all that Leo charm takes you. It's the journey, not the destination that counts, after all.
Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 23 / Flower: Daisy
Your loyalty at work is laudable but be on the lookout for new opps. And when job hunting, if you want to move up a level, don't fall into the trap of thinking you must be able to list on your resume everything a higher-level job requires. As long as your other qualifications and experience are solid and you're a quick study, go for it. Otherwise, you'll limit yourself to a lateral move. Don't be afraid to flirt on the 18th!
Libra: Sept. 24-Oct. 23 / Flower: Hydrangea
Treasure what you have, especially when it comes to relationships. This is a great time to mix things up a bit with your sweetie – take him out for a surprise picnic on a sunny afternoon, for example. You will achieve a major fitness goal by the month’s end. Oh and that annoying co-worker? Try to find one thing you like about him/her. There’s gotta be something!
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 22 / Flower: Peony
Be open to the joy of love in all its forms, not just the Hollywood romance variety. A change in your living situation will open many exciting doors for you, literally and figuratively! Meanwhile, you are now questioning the wisdom of a major purchase that you made in the last few months. But don’t be too hard on yourself. You did your homework and there’s no way you could’ve predicted those, uh, bumps.
Sagittarius: Nov. 23-Dec. 21 / Flower: Carnation
Patience, patience, Ms. Sag. There are three things you've been coveting; chances are by the time you read this you'll have No. 1. Do what you can to secure the rest, send your wish to the universe and then chillax. At work, a mysterious ally makes your life easier. Be careful with money this month. On the social scene: throw caution to the wind on the 25th.
Flower Fact of the Day: Pink roses convey admiration, appreciation and gratitude, which makes them the perfect bloom for Mother’s Day!
