Brief love reading for each of the signs. Be sure to look at your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs for an expanded perspective.

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: The energy of the upcoming week suggests taking some time to consider the next step before proceeding further. Perhaps uncertainty is causing the need to reevaluate circumstances in favor of a different path. This may be due to the influence of others who may not necessarily take into account what’s best for your situation. It’s interesting to note that both women in the cards are holding the strings. One is illuminated by the warm glow cast by a strand of stars while the other holds the threads of a puppet. You’ll need to listen to inner wisdom and look carefully at the intentions, motives and long-term consequences of decisions and actions. In doing so, you’ll come to terms with your own personal integrity to make a stand for something that aligns with your strongest ideals. Ultimately, you may decide to give up on what appears to be a tremendous opportunity, but a more potent possibility is now in the offing.
