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

Half the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.

Josh Billings

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: Thanks, but no thanks. If you’ve been trying to figure something out, waiting to hear back or need to respond to an invasive query or uncomfortable proposition–the answer is no. Perhaps it indicates failed negotiations, oversights, overblown matters, misunderstandings or problems that are cause for concern. However, walking away isn’t necessarily a bad thing in situations involving persons with a penchant for being two-faced, prone to gossip, unpredictable, underhanded, or unconcerned about the feelings of others. Your opinions are formed by experience and past situations. The challenge is whether you’d like to respond in the old way or do things differently this time.

If it’s you stuck to an old dogma or trying to create something and coming up against roadblocks, the message is that the timing is off. You’re focusing on the wrong thing, or the person you want to start a business or relationship with is either not ready or unsuitable at this point in time. Bring the focus back to self or the continued push could have damaging results.

This influence is also about recognizing when no is appropriate. Requests or “opportunities” that compromise your integrity, waste your time or drain you of vital energy are a no-go. Likewise, you should say no to unhealthy habits, food, drink, or thoughts that are detrimental to your well-being. This week, kindly responding in the negative might be the kindest move you can make for yourself.
