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

Everybody thinks of changing humanity, but nobody thinks of changing himself.

Leo Tolstoy

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: Anxiety is the motivating factor for great effort applied in maintaining power due to fear of false evidence appearing as real. This can be a week where stress, depression, guilt or worry manifests through headaches, physical pain or sleepless nights. If so, it’s an indication that an obsession with outcome is hurting rather than helping. The more intent on achieving the objective, the more distorted your perspective can become prompting aggressive or domineering behavior and expectations from others. But not fully understanding the consequences of getting what you want (especially by force) can present a challenge to your well being. Perhaps it’s time to relinquish control in favor of other options you’ve heretofore ignored for whatever reasons. That might mean simply walking away from a situation or relationship–at least for the moment. You can’t make people be something other than what they are, nor should you try. Real power is in claiming personal agency over self.
