Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

You’re faced with a choice, and it all comes down to compassion vs. self-interest. Given who you are, it’s likely that you side with others, but that should end up helping your spirit in the long run.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22)

All eyes are on you — but in a good way! You should find that you’re solidly in the spotlight as your recent actions make you look better than ever. It’s a great time to give a speech!

Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20)

A glimmer of understanding blossoms into full-on enlightenment fairly early this month. You don’t need to act right away, but you may want to explore this new wisdom of yours to see what it all means.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 19)

You may not love public speaking, but you are a gifted orator for now. Use that talent to affect those around you with your big ideas and radical notions for change. You might get some new followers!

Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)

If you find yourself at a loss for words — and that is likely — then you need to abandon all pretense of rationality and resort to poetry or performance art to get your point across. It can be fun!

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)

You need to clarify a few things in your own mind before you can feel comfortable speaking out. It’s a good time to think through the issues and see what’s most important to you.

Taurus (Apr. 21-May 21)

Your amazing personal energy helps you pull off a major coup: proving your loyalty to someone who doubts you, without having to get your hands dirty. It’s a big win, so be sure to enjoy it.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Your idealism is making life harder yet more entertaining. You may actually achieve a breakthrough that comes when you break the tension between what you believe and what you have to do.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

You’re showing off a little — and that is just as it should be! Your people are waiting for you to step up and demonstrate what you can do, so let go of your worries and make something big happen!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 21)

Think ahead this month — you need to make sure that you’re handling issues as if you’ve got a long future ahead of you. Try to get your people to realize that their actions have consequences.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sep. 23)

You can feel the clouds lifting from your judgment, and it feels great! Of course that also means you may have much more work than you know what to do with, but that’s okay.

Libra (Sep. 24-Oct. 23)

Exercise your intellect — but also your restraint. If you realize that you need to take action, then the time for thought is over and you have to just do the best you can with what you have.
