Astrology 101: Did you know you have three signs (sun, moon, and rising), not just one? Most people only know their sun sign, which is determined by their birth day and month, but the most accurate horoscope is actually chosen by your rising (or sometimes called ascendant) sign. Don’t know your rising sign? Use this free calculator. Once you do know your ascendant/rising sign, be sure to read that horoscope below!

Aries
Aries (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Aries — Early in the week, try to curb the urge to identify emotionally with your material possessions. Maybe your “precious” isn’t really giving you the security you think it is. Midweek, you can indulge in memories of past actions and may decide to re-do something. Friday and through the weekend, you are torn; your heart is at home but your mind is on your career and your social life.


Taurus
Taurus (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Taurus — Tap into that famous Taurus patience early in the week. Slow and steady wins the race, even if it goes against the grain right now. On Wednesday and Thursday, switch your focus to whatever makes you feel secure, but don’t make any long-term investments. This weekend emotions are coloring your logical mind. Something that seems like a great idea now simply won’t make sense to future You.


Gemini
Gemini (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Gemini — Early in the week be mindful that your unconscious habits may be causing you problems. Try to find someone you trust to confide in, so you can face your true feelings. By midweek, you are eager to further your own interests and show the world what you can do. Put your pent-up energy to good use. This weekend, indulge in your appreciation of the finer things in life.

Cancer (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Cancer — Friends are especially important to you now and you will find it emotionally satisfying to spend time with kindred spirits early in the week. Wednesday and Thursday are good days to be alone and nurture yourself. Pay particular attention to your dreams midweek. You can come out of your shell over the weekend and express your full personality. Enjoy the attention of the people close to you.


Leo
Leo (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Leo — Keeping your reputation intact is important to you, so on Monday be a good Leo and don’t compromise your dignity when you find yourself showing more emotion in public than you normally would. Midweek is a great time to go somewhere with friends that you haven’t seen for a while. Avoid crowds Friday through the weekend. Do something low-key and geared toward self-improvement.


Virgo
Virgo (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Virgo — Satisfy that restless feeling you get on Monday with a quick trip, or at least a journey of the mind. Explore cultures that are different from your own. Your interest in esoteric subjects is stronger now than usual. By midweek you are more focused on your career and public image. The weekend should be packed with fun and maybe romance! Your emotional bond with friends will be highlighted.


Libra
Libra (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Libra — Jealousy could be creeping in early in the week. Rather than dwelling on what other people have, deepen your appreciation for your own good fortune. Midweek could bring you an opportunity to actively work for something you believe in. Sometimes talking the talk isn’t enough. This weekend would be a good time to have a party at your place! Invite everyone and be your most charming self.


Scorpio
Scorpio (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Scorpio — Combining the right balance of freedom and security in partnerships of all types will be your focus early this week. This becomes the foundation for action concerning shared resources on Wednesday and Thursday. Try to make it through on your own as much as possible to avoid frustration. Consider a short trip this weekend to satisfy your restlessness. Put yourself in an unfamiliar environment to refresh your mind.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Sagittarius — Don’t neglect yourself when you are busy taking care of people and pets early in the week. Your health should come first. Conflict with a nemesis could get emotional this week, at the same time that you want very much to provide security for the people closest to you. Over the weekend, you find that you are attracted to deeper, more mysterious people and situations than usual.


Capricorn
Capricorn (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Capricorn — Monday could be fun and romantic for you if you are open to trying something new. Pace yourself for the rest of the week to avoid burnout. A new health regime might be in order now. Pay special attention to your diet and exercise. Over the weekend, spend one-on-one time with someone close to you. Allow yourself a little sentimentality for a change.


Aquarius
Aquarius (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Aquarius — Early in the week you will be most effective when getting things done from home. Creative projects call to you midweek and can be a great source of emotional satisfaction. Wednesday and Thursday could also take on a romantic tone. The weekend could bring obligations to be of service in some way, and you will be willing to put your emotional concerns on hold for the sake of necessity.


Pisces
Pisces (Jon Marchione for The Baltimore Banner)

Pisces — Disturbances in your environment can knock you off track early this week. Your communications are likely to be subjective and your memory selective, especially when dealing with extended family. Redecorating and organizing your home this week will make you feel more grounded and give you emotional satisfaction. This coming weekend, romance and fun are on your mind and you are compelled to express your true feelings.
