Taurus: It’s time to be receiving praise for all the things you do well and aren’t recognized for. In that light, thanks Taurus for being so friggin’ strong all the time. Gemini: Take the next opportunity offered to you and run. Stretch it, make it bigger than it really is. If anyone can do it and make it look easy, it’s you. Cancer: Just show up on time. That is all it takes to get what you want this week, but you really do have to be there on time, if not a little early. Trust me, it’s worth it. Leo: What an exciting week to be a Leo (but what week isn’t when you are that vivacious?). An added shot , of energy will come to you this week from an unexpected source. Be aware. Libra: One nice thing about being so balanced is knowing when you are about to fall over. Don’t let yourself dive off the deep end be fore taking a big deep breath. Virgo: At times it may feel like you’ve been overlooked. But don’t worry, you’re not any less of a person for it. Hopefully, you won’t be forgotten for long. Scorpio: A Haiku for you: Little scorpion/Good things are coming/ Would I lie to you? Sagittarius: This is a good week to take on a new identity - no one will know it is you. That can work to your advantage or against it. Capricorn: Remember that in the law of physics “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” This goes double for you this week. Aquarius: People do love you lil ’ Aquarius. No, you are not being picked on unfairly. Yes, that rash will clear up. Buck up, little camper - spring break is almost here! Pisces: Your birthday meditation: How is it that I can be perfectly still and perfectly silly at the same time? Work on this during the year to come, and infinite joy and wis dom is yours.
