Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 20 / Flower: African violet You are challenged this month to find ways to grow without damaging your firm foundation of security. Passion strikes that pushes you to express your individuality now -- this could be the start of a lasting new relationship between you and pleasure, as long as you pace yourself on the road to personal satisfaction rather than trying to race to the finish line.
Aquarius: Jan. 21-Feb. 19 / Flower: Orchid Relationships turn complex this month as stress arises around the idea of intimacy and your connections to those around you. Tension is also growing between your need for financial freedom and the limits that come from your commitments to others. Finding solutions is more difficult now as cold, hard facts turn fuzzy, yet you can rest assured there is a positive light just around the bend.
Pisces: Feb. 20-March 20 / Flower: Alstroemeria Observation, study and conversations with experienced individuals help you build a solid base of information that can support your growth this month.

Aries: March 21-April 20 / Flower: Tulip Although May might open on a frustrating note, you can still make progress as long as you play by the established rules. This is a time to tie up loose ends and honor previous commitments so you're ready for what lies ahead. Instead of cultivating resentment about what's delaying immediate gratification, though, realize this month is about setting yourself up for long-term gains.
Taurus: April 21-May 21 / Flower: Lily Steady growth and staying on top of your responsibilities may not be easy this month -- it's going to take an extra dose of flexibility to work through the shifts from heavenly highs to earthly lows and the contrasts between dreams and necessities. While daily tasks and limited professional growth may overwhelm you, these feelings are simply the first step in a process of reassessing your long-term goals.
Gemini: May 22-June 21 / Flower: Rose What begins as a general malaise can turn into a challenging situation this month as you experience simultaneous stop and go signals. You cannot escape your personal obligations, yet doors are opening now to exciting new opportunities. There are great rewards around the corner if you're willing to take a cautious approach. This is a lesson of balance -- too much change too fast is as dangerous as trying to avoid change completely.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 / Flower: Delphinium Professional matters and public responsibilities are in the spotlight now, and may be subject to reevaluation and revision this month. Frustration at work could reach a critical point, yet there is plenty of time to adjust your priorities and redirect your resources to realize and capitalize on your full potential. Professional breakthroughs are likely if you can let go of the past and let your instincts lead you in an entirely new direction.
Leo: July 23- Aug. 22 / Flower: Sunflower Although you may be lost in confusion as May begins, clarity rolls in like well-formed waves to give new purpose to your life.

Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 23 / Flower: Daisy Reshaping a long-range vision to fit your current reality can turn this into a highly productive month, Virgo. Opportunities come when you cast your mind beyond the limits of your daily routine to see yourself in a wider world of meaning and purpose. While some fantasies may be unreachable, let inspiration take you as far as it can, but allow the dust to settle before taking action.
Libra: Sept. 24-Oct. 23 / Flower: Hydrangea Following your dreams may seem impossible now, as this month is wrought with constraint. You struggle to strike a workable balance between your spiritual pursuits and your daily responsibilities, and may find it difficult to get your point across. There is a significant shift occurring now that places your focus on the inner work you must do before you can clean up your outer life.
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 22 / Flower: Peony The month gets off to a slippery start as you get caught between your obligations to others and a desire to pursue your own dreams. Relationships also remain in the spotlight now, yet change is stirring that pushes you to break patterns rather than simply support the status quo.
Sagittarius: Nov. 23-Dec. 21 / Flower: Carnation You may be having second thoughts about some recent professional decisions, especially if your job isn't supporting your dreams. Opportunities for personal growth do arise this month, yet also place obstacles in your path. This is a time to scale back your vision and tend to the business at hand.
