21 April - 21 May
If you have to field some dissatisfaction this month, it is important to look at matters in context and not as black-and-white events that stand alone. Anticipation and expectation are as often the building blocks of disappointment as of fulfillment, and unrealistic desires distract from a clear view of what you really have.

22 May - 21 June
You're probably going to want to pursue your personal life and that of your partner, but you may find doing so can get in the way of your professional efforts. You may have to field and defuse inaccurate or perhaps jealous rumors that come from pursuing your privacy instead of letting it all hang out.

22 June - 23 July
You may let it all hang out a little too much and have to explain it. In the long range, no harm is done, but in the short range you may have to waste some time clarifying things. Once you set the record straight, you can move on to more profitable pursuits with the advantage that you have a higher profile and are someone to talk about.

Turn to your friends for inspiration and support and you'll find the extra energy there to pull you through any situation. It's a good time for intimate get-togethers with dear ones to kick relationships up a notch and cement what's already long-standing. Similarly, you may find strong support from above, both moral and substantive, which will come in the form of an unexpected favor.

Eschew arguments today because you'll be preaching to the choir and they don't need the aggravation. Instead, lay back into the harmony and surf the waves of friendship all the way to the beach - or to the bank, as it may happen. You should choose the position to steer and motivate, let others run the engines.

This may be a good time to collect some of the interest on the work you have done over the years and roll it over into new investments or original projects. Anything you start now will have a good, forward-looking foundation and will easily remain abreast of the times and not become outdated.

It doesn't take much effort to get your increased assets working for you - that way, they'll stick around and not get frittered away. That goes for the personal side as well - be generous when you can afford to be. A helping hand is the best investment there is.

23 November - 22 December
A big shift is better than a small one, so be adventurous. Similarly, you'll find things picking up at work, where there's more to be done thanks to new developments that have arrived on the scene. When at other times you might have been exhausted, now you pick up the stamina that comes from a focus on the new.

Gentle persuasion is the approach, and others will find you quite convincing when you use the soft sell, not the hard. When you stick to customary avenues of approach you'll do better than coming in with ideas from left field. By maintaining a strong comfort level you'll make the quickest and greatest progress.

Concrete solutions are preferred right off the bat, and depth of meaning counts. Subtlety may be put on the backburner in favor of a down-to-earth, practical approach that can sometimes bypass the niceties of the situation. Don't stand on ceremony, and expect the rest of the world not to, either.

A few well-chosen words can cure inner and outer disputes as you come to better understand them. Formless fears turn to dust when you root them out and show them the light of day. Run silent, run deep - then, when you surface, take a deep breath of air.

Personal problem-solving is favored and introspection comes easier than usual. Investment is not, so hold onto your coins or at least be careful how you spend them. Play your cards close to your chest if you want a winning hand, and be equally willing to hold up, fold up, or run. Or, try solitaire.
