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
You may be feeling that your methodical, meticulous approach is not getting the praise or attention it deserves. As wonderful as those traits are and as much as you want to take charge and steer your own course, there is really very little that is actually in our control. That’s ok – in fact, it’s freeing! The weekend of the 17th will be extra productive; you’ll be uplifted on the 24th.
Aquarius: Jan. 21-Feb. 19 / Flower: Orchid
More often than not, you are one step ahead of the crowd, but that can get a little lonely. Meanwhile, you’ve met someone who is earthy and funny, and appreciates your sense of humor. Relax and reveal your feelings, for a change. At work, you will impress the powers that be without even trying. Don’t be too hard on yourself the last week of the month.
Pisces: Feb. 20-March 20 / Flower: Alstroemeria
Your tremendous compassion will be in high demand. In your element, you will shine. Decide not to worry about finances. Instead, empower yourself. A good place to start is the Wall Street Journal. Just read a story a day and you’ll be amazed at how much knowledge you acquire without really trying. And, as a lover of all things beautiful, you will see that even economics has hidden grace and mystery!
Aries: March 21-April 20 / Flower: Tulip
A difficult patch in your personal life may be hindering your concentration on the job. Try this: Buy a notebook and for 15 minutes each morning, jot down all that you are feeling. If you need to, you can write more later. Then, put it in a safe place and head to work with a clear mind. Things will get better. The 19th will be lucky.
Taurus: April 21-May 21 / Flower: Lily
You’ll become immersed in research which at first seems dry. But as you persevere, you will make a deep personal connection with it and find it hard to put down. Reach out to a colleague who seems arrogant; it is just insecurity in disguise. Back down from arguments the last week of April. If you need a pick-me-up, remember that nothing does the job like a bouquet of fresh flowers!
Gemini: May 22-June 21 / Flower: Rose
You’ve waited long enough for him to make his move. Ask him to have a cup of coffee with you. He will probably say yes, but if not, life will go on and you’ll be open to new opportunities. If you are job hunting, hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel. You will get a terrific idea for a creative venture around the 18th. Write it down, even if you think it’s so brilliant you’ll never forget.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 / Flower: Delphinium
Little Cancer, you know you’re hurt easily. That’s ok, that’s just who you are. But don’t let it build up into anger and resentment. Besides, you need your energy for an exciting new project that is given to you because no one else has the flair and finesse to pull it off. You can do it! At the end of the month, romance will take you by surprise.
Leo: July 23- Aug. 22 / Flower: Sunflower
You’re on the cusp of an exciting new chapter of your career. Worrying about money is pointless; it will find you. Right now, you have other, more important, things to think about. Don’t be deceived by illusion or get off track by comparing yourself to other people; just be peaceful and content within. On the 27th, something that puzzled you suddenly makes sense.
Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 23 / Flower: Daisy
A blast from the past makes you a tad nostalgic (in a good way!) and reminds you to do a better job of staying in touch with old friends and former colleagues. Oh, and that potentially lucrative side project you’ve had on the back burner? It will happen and the timing will be perfect. Set aside a regular time each week to work on it. Then, be patient and upbeat until it comes to life.
Libra: Sept. 24-Oct. 23 / Flower: Hydrangea
This month, remember this quotation from Oscar Wilde: “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." Your talent as a mediator will come into play around the 22nd. Set a deadline for the two parties to agree; otherwise you will be hearing the same stories again and again. After that, put the focus on fun: a long walk on the beach, an ice cream cone, a new pair of shoes, perhaps.
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 22 / Flower: Peony
If you were not so eminently capable, you wouldn’t feel the need to dominate every situation, yes?;) We mere mortals are in awe of you so set a good example. You’ll make a key discovery at work that could set the stage for a promotion. And your home life will be tranquil. Travel plans will materialize by the end of the month. The 13th will be lucky.
Sagittarius: Nov. 23-Dec. 21 / Flower: Carnation
You’ve been contemplating a big switch in your living situation. Since you often worry that you are too impulsive, make a list of pros and cons. Then, if you decide it is the right choice, resolve to make it happen as quickly and efficiently as possible. A random daydream leads to an inspiring truth the week of the 27th. You may need to curb your temper with a relative this month.
Flower Fact of the Day: Yellow roses represent friendship and joy, but in Victorian times, they symbolized jealousy.
