Snacks won't satisfy that hunger, Aries. Do something fulfilling. Make something. Donate your time. Building the community of your dreams begins with concrete action. Leave that anger behind; it can burn things.
Taurus horoscope: April 20 - May 20
When you've lost something, it helps to stop looking. Magic happens when you least expect it. The same goes for love. Let the sweetness sideswipe you into smiling.
Gemini horoscope: May 21 - June 20
Feeling strung out? Tensions are high this Friday. Get yourself outside. A walk or even just letting the wind ruffle your hair will do the trick. You need to bask in your element, and that's air, Gemini.
Cancer horoscope: June 21 - July 22
Frazzled energy has been driving you mad. Your boo misses your attention. Listen to your dreams; they're trying to tell you something. When was the last time you checked your bank account? A surprise awaits.
Leo horoscope: July 23 - August 22
Spending is fun, but having a financial cushion is key. Soak up the sun; you need to gather energy for the coming winter. You've got needs, but so do your loved ones. Leo, making a compromise doesn't make you a loser. Every relationship requires a give and take.

Libra horoscope: September 23 - October 22
To assume is to make a donkey out of you and me, Libra. Ask your friends what's on their mind. Even if you read their texts, that doesn't mean you know what's going on. Open up to those you trust. Carrying worries all the time gets heavy.
Scorpio horoscope: October 23 - November 21

Control is good, but not all the time. Make space for the unknown. That's when you'll find a moment to dream. Eros has a message for you: You're as loved as you allow yourself to be. What do you want, Capricorn?
Aquarius horoscope: January 20 - February 18
Injuries can take time to heal. That doesn't mean you have to stop moving; just alter your focus. Your competitor cannot keep up with your sly plans. Tension in the office needs addressing. Speak your mind, but brace for blowback.
Pisces horoscope: February 19 - March 20
Too much lamplight will make you flighty. Get yourself outside. Find some greenery. What passion project have you been putting off? Your boo has been waiting for a sign of how you feel. Watch your spending.
