Aries (March 20-April 19) — If you have ever been a foreign student, or shared a home with one, you know something of both the risk and rewards involved. Even if you have never been in the role of host or student guest, now would be a good time for you to consider being an exchange student of the heart. The experiment would consist of acting on the feelings of others as if they were your own. You are a perfect candidate precisely because you are so good at expressing and acting on your own feelings. Prioritizing the feelings of another instead, for just a little while, would give you a chance both to teach and learn in an unprecedented manner. — by Len Wallick
Taurus (April 19-May 20) — There is no need for you to shun the spotlight. Neither, however, need you seek it. Especially when you are in the company of others, experiment with allowing attention to come to you rather than trying to attract it. Even though it may sound like a hackneyed idea, just relaxing and being yourself will now be more than enough to attract the best kind of notice at this time. It is also likely that you will not have to go to a lot of trouble to be in the right place at the right time. Just pay attention when opportunity beckons, respond with calm confidence, and others will want to place their confidence in you. — by Len Wallick
Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Have you been catching up with previously neglected relationships lately? If so, good for you! If not, don’t worry. In all probability you have organized and prioritized your time as well as can be expected in the last few months. Indications are, however, that time itself is now more on your side than in the recent past. If you aren’t feeling it, pause. Ask yourself what it would hurt if you took a few hours, or even a whole day, to do nothing more than clear your head of inner chatter that may have already served its purpose. Catch up with yourself now. You might be surprised how deeply liberating that can be. — by Len Wallick
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Pay attention to your energy level. Don’t draw conclusions just yet. Definitely don’t judge yourself either. Simply note whether your stamina is lately more or less than what you feel is usual for you. Then, for the remainder of this year, continue to monitor your vitality. There are at least two reasons it might be a good idea to keep tabs on how vigorous you feel. The first purpose is to look for informative correlations between your verve and where you are or what you are doing. The second (and most important) reason is to find a method of observing and corresponding that makes you feel stronger all by itself. — by Len Wallick
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You have a lot to offer now. The key is to be alert for how, when and where others need you. Some may come right out and say they would like to have your help. When that happens, look for a good reason to say “yes.” Then, after you have rendered your assistance, consider how the actual results of your service aligned with your original intent. As for those who do not share your perception that you might be able to help them somehow, be gentle. Don’t impose yourself. Rather, think about what you can say or do so that those you lend a helping hand to will perceive your support to have been their idea. — by Len Wallick
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — The word “cleave” can describe a splitting apart or a bringing together. If you allow bringing together to be your focus for now, you will probably like the results. Take small steps at first. Be easy on yourself. For the time being, at least, simply think about how splits might be healed without feeling pressure to actually accomplish healing. Begin within yourself. Look for any divisions that have come up over the course of this year. If you are of two minds about something, simply get clear about what it would take for you to reconcile your conflicting thoughts and be of one mind about that thing once again. — by Len Wallick
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — People talk about intangibles, but few bother either to define or demonstrate them. You, however, are in a good position to discern and make the most of what cannot be either quantified or notated. Start with the basics. Show up, and be on time wherever and whenever you are expected to do so. Then, go beyond that by figuring out how to pleasantly surprise those who thought they knew what they could expect from you. If others begin looking forward to meeting, working or communicating with you because it will somehow be a highlight of their day, you will reap rewards money cannot buy. — by Len Wallick
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Upon observing that Mercury’s orbit around the Sun did not conform with what Isaac Newton predicted, scientists all over the world got busy trying to figure out what was wrong with their observations. All, that is, except for one guy who empowered his imagination to come up with a new theory that would fit the observations. That guy was Albert Einstein. It could be that your own Einstein moment will soon be at hand. To seize the moment, however, you will need to empower and believe in your own imagination and its ability to find the solution everybody else is seeking, where nobody else is looking. — by Len Wallick
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Some say you are what you eat. Yet, some obviously good people have demonstrably bad eating habits. What you do, however, will shape you as surely as night follows day. It appears that you are now entering a period of your life when you will be given some choices about where you put your energy and how you spend your time. What you choose will, in turn, have a great deal of influence over the form your life takes for years to come. Fortunately, you will have a couple years to see your options and select from them. As a guide, begin thinking about what it would take simply to be happy and at peace with yourself. — by Len Wallick
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — The next time you feel restless, think of it as a message with important information. Welcome the missive and read it thoroughly. Then, think long and well before acting. You don’t need to ignore it when you itch. Neither will it do to scratch yourself raw. In all likelihood a thoughtful path will lead to inner places you previously avoided looking in. Any restlessness now probably indicates that now is the time to go there. If it helps you to feel safer when seeing into your shadows, begin a search for assistance. Be guided by an objective to be comfortable in your own skin no matter where you are or what you are doing. — by Len Wallick
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Yes, you can get some satisfaction. The most meaningful sort of gratification for you will probably go beyond satiating hunger, thirst or other physical needs. Getting even or settling some sort of score won’t hit the spot either. In your heart, you know that the only type of satisfaction that will ever suffice is helping others to breathe a little easier, while also supporting yourself. You have been there. You have done that. You may be doing that now. Recently, however, you might have been caught up with being hard. If so, consider being soft again — like water, like the wind — and you won’t wear out. — by Len Wallick
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Even though Halloween is at hand, try not to frighten people. You need not think predators will see you as a mark if you don’t display a threat. Indeed, there is no greater sign of vulnerability and weakness than belligerence. Consider how the best way to be safe yourself is to make others feel safe with you. What will, in fact, do you and others the most good is to incite awe by being majestic, instead of being fearsome. Demonstrate the depth of your understanding as an alternative to always broadcasting the message not to mess with you. Bend down low to serve better, rather than stooping low to pounce.— By Len Wallick
