ARIES  This Month's Horoscope
The Aries Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Aries
If everything seems to be turned upside down around the 1st, your best bet is going to be to do a headstand. Or a handstand. Everything looks right-side up again, doesn't it? Sometimes the best way to handle difficulties is to go with the flow, so if things are topsy-turvy, roll with them, and if they're upside down, look at them from a whole new perspective. Who knows, you may even gain a greater understanding of a previously confounding situation as a result! By the 6th and 7th, your excellent new perspective is going to make you a natural leader. Take charge when the opportunity arises. Then, on the 11th and 12th, don't try to accomplish too much. Instead, call up a loved one who's been having a hard time and shoot the breeze for a little while. That'll really make them feel better -- and you'll feel good, too. By the 13th, your recent ambitions will pay off -- at the office and in your love life. On the 17th, 'flirt' is your middle name. Make sure you're putting yourself in the best situations to show off your prowess. Around the 21st, you have two missions. One: Get outside and exercise. Two: Do something romantic -- even if you're all by yourself. You don't need company to enjoy a picnic in the park! Then, on the 26th, if something goes wrong, keep your cool. And pay close attention to your emotions on the 29th. They are trying to tell you something important.

TAURUS  This Month's Horoscope
The Taurus Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Taurus
You may be feeling passionate or even sort of jealous and moody around the 1st. Sounds like you're acting a little bit possessive! Ask yourself what's got you feeling this way, and who it involves. Does it arise form insecurities within yourself, or is someone seem to be misbehaving. If it's the latter, address the situation as soon as possible. Don't let a misunderstanding ruin your mood, because there's a lot of excitement coming your way as the month begins. Instead of letting your feelings get you down, why not try think about them in another way? It's not every day that somebody provokes these kinds of roller coaster emotions. Could this person be more important to you than you thought? By the 4th, you're ready to charm and emotionally disarm, but don't worry -- you'll do no harm. In fact, you could do quite a bit of good today with all the smiles and compliments you're imparting on the world. Around the 8th and 9th, you're in for a power struggle. Are you up for it? Then, on the 14th, they may want to rush forward while you want to wait to see how things develop. Or maybe it's vice versa. Try to bring things into alignment before you make your next move. On the 18th, consider your options very carefully. Attention to detail is the only way to come to the best possible decision today. Then, on the 21st, build an alliance at work -- and you might as well build an alliance at home, too. On the 26th, if you're feeling lazy, take a nap. And don't be taken in by something that glitters, but is not gold, on the 30th.

GEMINI  This Month's Horoscope
The Gemini Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Gemini
Starting the 1st and 2nd, and continuing all month long, calculations are going to be very important. So get out your abacus and start crunching numbers. Analyze the pros and cons of a political situation at work. Double-check your bank account balance. Do a cost/benefit analysis of your current level of happiness and potential future happiness based on a number of different criteria. What do you come up with? By the 4th, you should have a pretty good idea of what the ideal outcome for a particular situation would be. Then, on the 8th and 9th, you're ready for a whole new point of view. If you're stumped about how to find it, why not head for the nearest lookout point? Sometimes a 360-degree view of the surroundings is just what you need to see things differently. On the 14th, your friends have some fantastic advice, and you'd be wise to take it. By the 19th and 20th, you're feeling thrifty, and you're right -- there's no need to splurge on that new shower curtain when your old one is in perfectly good condition. On the 26th, you may be tempted to start a few home improvement projects that you have no intention of finishing. Better make sure somebody else is up for the task before you start drilling. Then, on the 30th, visualize the results you want and you're halfway there.



CANCER  This Month's Horoscope
The Cancer Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Cancer
If you're getting cold feet about a new partnership -- romantic or business -- on the 1st, hold off on making things official. Maybe you need a little more time before you really commit to this. Maybe you're not sure that you trust them yet. Maybe you have good reason to doubt them and maybe you don't, but it's important that you trust your gut and listen to your own emotional responses. After all, if you don't, who will? Around the 6th and 7th, a little balance will go a long way. Head to the gym do some pilates or yoga. Build those balance muscles, and suddenly your work problems will melt away and romantic knots will disentangle themselves all on their own. On the 13th and 14th, don't let some friction with an authority figure get you down. It's good to speak up for yourself sometimes! By the 18th, be prepared to be misinterpreted. Bring along your pocket dictionary so you can define any complicated words for your interlocutors. Then on the 22nd, go all out. Why not paint your living room hot pink? And decorate it with leather throw pillows? On the 27th, things may not be as smooth as you'd like them to be, but try to relax and enjoy the ride. On the 30th, make yourself a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup -- comfort food will be just the thing.

LEO  This Month's Horoscope
The Leo Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Leo
On the 1st and 2nd, you might have to watch your ego. After all, a healthy sense of self is an important to getting ahead in life, but a fragile, over-inflated ego that's always doing battle with others is a different matter altogether. Enough with the shortsighted struggles for supremacy -- not only do they make you unhappy, they reduce your long-term chances of achieving whatever it is you really want. As the month begins, do an honest self-assessment of what skirmishes are worth undertaking and what points you can reasonably let go. Then, change your battle plan accordingly. By the 6th and 7th, you're ready to commit to a health routine. Make sure you're getting as much pleasure and enjoyment out of it as you possibly can. After all, if you enjoy it, you'll stick with it. By the 12th, you're in a creative mindset. Start making something beautiful! Then on the 17th and 18th, listen to your peers. They have some very insightful wisdom for you. Around the 22nd, you'll achieve something glorious. Be sure to wear something glamorous to the celebration! Then, on the 26th, get ready for romance, because romance is ready for you! On the 29th, it's time to look at a couple of old emotional issues. Are they fueling some unhealthy activity on the part of your ego? On the 30th, don't let anything get in the way of a good time.

VIRGO  This Month's Horoscope

By the 6th and 7th, following through on an impulse could lead to some very magical romance, so don't second guess your gut instinct. If it tells you 'go,' who are you to say no?

And don't forget: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. On the 17th and 18th, be careful to communicate exactly what you want to communicate in exactly the way you want to communicate it.

LIBRA  This Month's Horoscope
The Libra Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Libra
On the 1st and 2nd, it's time to focus on putting yourself first. Enough of this 'Go ahead, I'll catch up when I've finished all the leftover work you couldn't be bothered to finish before you headed out for drinks.' Enough 'Go ahead, eat the last finger sandwich, even though I haven't had a bite to eat yet and you just scarfed the last of the company meeting's brownie bites.' No! You are not going to take it anymore! From now on, you are going to eat what you want, do what you want, say what you want and get what's yours. Paradoxically, it's putting yourself first that will allow you to do good for other people. After all, being a martyr is an energy-sapping endeavor. By the 4th, you're ready to express your feelings more openly than ever before. Then, around the 9th, some serious romance will be cruising your way. Stick out your thumb and catch a ride! By the 14th, you're ready to really focus in on what's going wrong and what's going right in one of your intimate relationships. Honesty is the best policy, here. On the 18th, your energy is high and your attitude is excellent. Around the 22nd, the details aren't going to be as important as the big picture, so look at things as globally as you can. By the 26th, things could not be going better, and you could not be looking better. Don't be shocked when a gaggle of admirers makes itself known to you! On the 30th, look for balance, both at home and at work.

You start the month out in a veritable state of bliss. Yes, you're getting what you want on the 1st and 2nd. You're feeling good, you're looking great, and everybody wants to be your friend. Plus, you're feeling attuned to the world and at one with your fellow human beings. Wondering what's going on? Don't worry about it! Sometimes things just go your way! Around the 7th, your boss will be in a fantastic mood, which means it's a great time to ask for a promotion. Or a raise. Or a raise and a promotion! And don't be shy about speaking up -- after all, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the holiday bonus. By the 12th, you're ready to let a little romance into your life, so plan a fabulous date for you and your favorite activity partner And if you're single, perhaps it's time to hold some auditions for that coveted role. On the 16th, put your personal relationships first. After all, if you're always thinking about work you're not really giving the people in your private life the attention they deserve, and if you're always at work, you don't give them the time they need. Then, around the 20th, you need to try to give up a little bit of control. You can't be in charge all the time! On the 25th, spend the day planning. On the 30th, be careful with a proposition that sounds too good to be true -- there's a pretty high likelihood that it is.

SAGITTARIUS  This Month's Horoscope
The Sagittarius Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Sagittarius
The 1st and 2nd find you in a very quiet, private and meditative space. Maybe you'd rather just sit alone in the corner of a darkened room, light a candle and listen to the sound of your own breath than go to a bar. Heck, if that's how you're feeling, then bow out of margarita night and get what you need. Scratch what you had planned and just spend some time communing with yourself. The more you know about how you're feeling at any given moment, the more equipped you'll be to make good decisions about what comes next. By the 3rd and 4th, things will be going great. You have good friends, you have good luck, you have good sense and you have a good feeling about everything that's going on. Around the 9th, it's time to really explore some of your creative impulses. The sooner you tap into that source of inspiration, the sooner you'll begin to reach your full potential. Then, on the 14th, you need to get out there and move! You'll feel a lot better if your body is in motion instead of tethered to a desk. It's up to you to make sure there's time in your schedule to work out. On the 19th and 20th, you might be questioning some basic tenants of your life. Are you thinking about a better way to manage your finances? To conduct love affairs? To plan your future? If it includes asking for a raise, don't do it on the 25th. Wait until the 30th, when you'll be in a fantastic position to go for whatever you want.

CAPRICORN  This Month's Horoscope
The Capricorn Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Capricorn
You may be feeling a little bit detached on the 1st and 2nd, like you're an observer of your own life. If this is the case, ask yourself why. Is there something going on that's making you more uncomfortable than you're admitting to yourself? Are you feeling insecure? Often, detachment is a sign that you're overwhelmed in some way. Give it some thought; disengaging is not the best way to improve your situation, and detachment can inhibit your reflexes and give you a false sense of security. As difficult as it may be, start getting in touch with all of your emotions right now. You'll find that whatever was frightening you is not nearly as bad as you thought. By the 6th, everything will be coming up roses for you. You're having a great day -- make sure you really enjoy it. Then, on the 11th, playing music, painting or writing are great ways to channel your creative energy. If you don't feel like doing any of those, then just get outside and go for a nice long walk. The input may really inspire you! On the 16th, love is in the air. And what's that flirty little message in your e-mail inbox? On the 20th, don't take things too personally. If other people are in a bad mood, it probably has nothing to do with you. Then, on the 26th, focus your energy on work. By the 30th, you'll be ready to make leaps and bounds with a couple of career projects.

AQUARIUS  This Month's Horoscope
The Aquarius Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Aquarius
On the 1st, you may be feeling a little bit underappreciated. This feeling could very likely stem from resentment about your position at work, but it could also relate to a family dynamic. Being someone's sibling or child is wonderful of course, but sometimes you just want to be treated like the adult you are. It can be difficult to outgrow the roles you've grown up in, but your adult relatives should be understanding about your needs. Just calmly and politely insist on being taken seriously. Finding the confidence to do so may help you pull off a similar move at the office as well! Around the 6th and 7th, you're going to have to exercise some pretty strict discipline if you want to stick to your health and wellness routine. It's worth it. Then, on the 8th and 9th, your energy inspires everybody who comes in contact with you. You've never met a project you couldn't handle -- with panache! By the 14th, you'll be bringing some real electricity to a previously dull situation. Everybody will be grateful! Then, on the 18th, it's high time you did some reorganizing in your emotional closet. Why are you letting all those old problems hang around at the back of your psyche? They're not doing you or anybody else any good there, so throw them out! On the 23rd, go ahead and do a business deal over dinner, but proceed with caution. The 27th is a good day to drop the aloof act. It won't win you any friends. Then, on the 30th, you have an expansive day. Organize a group of friends and colleagues and go out and make some magic happen!

PISCES  This Month's Horoscope
The Pisces Page | Horoscopes Guides | Gifts for Pisces
As the month begins, stay on your toes. You don't want to get involved in things you don't fully understand. Sure, accept suggestions and listen to pitches, but don't commit to anything and don't sign on the dotted line. There will be time enough for decisions once all the information-gathering is done. On the 4th, think twice before you say what's on your mind. It may be a politically sensitive topic, so it's best to tread carefully. Around the 9th, if you feel like helping a friend in need, by all means, go for it! Even if it means you have to duck out of work early, the amount of good you can do will be well worth the sacrifice. On the 11th and 12th, everything is going great. Treat yourself to something nice; you deserve it. By the 16th, some love should be coming your way. Then, on the 19th and 20th, you'll be on a creative kick. Make sure you're staying in good physical shape; it will help you take advantage of the inspiration circulating all around you. On the 24th, don't try to micromanage other people's relationships. Make your suggestions, but in the end you have to let people do what they're going to do in their own relationships. On the 29th, it's time to exercise caution again. If there's any treachery on the horizon, nip it in the bud!
