Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week the stars are calling on you to be as present in your own life as you possibly can. Some earthly powers that be are calling on you to make some choices. Show up for the discussion, but you don't have the information you need to make decisions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Worrying if you're on the right track, if you did the right thing, if your hair looks OK? We have a bit of crucial assurance for you this week: that brain of yours is MENSA material. We mean, you are one smart cookie. Your fears aren't based in reality, but that brain of yours, it's the genuine article.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Your power objects this week are those big-ass redwoods everyone keeps fighting over. Your power relationship is the bizarre love affair of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Your job is to begin working toward creating something for the long haul, something that's going to last, while resisting your natal impulse to flit about.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

It's a quality that spiritual folks will tell you to lose, but this week we urge you to dash into the heart of it: selfishness. Which doesn't mean you get to hole up in the bathtub while your roommates bang on the door. The trick is maintaining your honest vulnerability while keeping a little on the side for yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Love was the drug you were thinking of, but now it's hangover city. The remedy you're looking for isn't the hair of the dog but a shot of selfless action. It also wouldn't hurt to take a good, honest look at how you came to find yourself in such an overwhelming, crashed-out state.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

We order you to be open to positive change! Oh, we know we make silly disciplinarians. We're just kidding. Really, we've been lounging around, watching a parade of stars shimmy into your neck of the zodiac – a guarantee that things that weren't so comfy have suddenly become a whole lot cozier.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

That's quite a highway you're cruising down, Libra. Would it surprise you to learn that it's not your brain behind the wheel? Air signs have a hard time imagining anything other than the mind calling the shots, but it's your love muscles that are taking you where you need to be. And yes, we do in fact mean those muscles.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Things have been a tad on the frustrating side, and you're to be commended for maintaining much patience. Possibly because Scorpios thrive in chaos, this taxing moment is also a fantastic one for you to take a daring leap of faith and trust. It's true: the universe is holding you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You need a workout, and we're not talking about club-hopping. Yeah, we know you can break a sweat on the dance floor, and this week is an especially great one for you to shine, but you simply must find an outlet for releasing physical energy. Our suggestions: swimming and sex.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

OK, Capricorn, something in your life's refrigerator is smelling a little ... emotionally unfulfilling. Do you stand there inhaling the odor of disappointment? Or do you begin to dismantle the tower of take-out containers and baggies of moldy veggies and toss them in the garbage? This week it's about ending dynamics with others that aren't reciprocal.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aquarius, a friend of ours once had a simply delightful dream in which he was a boxer. The dream played out in a montage of clips and was accompanied by a male vocalist crooning, "You are strong enough!" We're dreaming this little dream for you this week. The universe has upped your cosmic training session, 'cause you're a pro at having no control.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pisces, you've been the welcome wagon of change, rushing out to greet each of your life's new circumstances with a plate of brownies and some gushing hospitality. Nice attitude! The time is drawing near for you to stop being such a butterfly and make some of your own decisions, but this week take some time off and enjoy your own sunny disposition.
