Spring fever strikes - and with a vengeance. Even though it's hard to keep your nose to the grindstone, do try. Any goofing off will lead to bad reviews on the 8th. Mid-month, you parlay your charm with consummate flair, especially with the opposite sex. Just don't get too giddy with power on the 15th. Late in the month, a level head is what works best in all areas of your life. Expect to catch some flak for how you make or spend your cash on the 26th. Ignore it and go for the gold.

You're poised to come into your own - and soon. Answer all casting calls now, in both love and
career. Even chance encounters can prove fruitful. You may be too easily influenced by others' opinions of you on the 8th, though. Someone from the past has you in mind mid-month.

The offers pour in and you seem to be on everyone's 'A-List.' Yet you also want to spend time with friends and family. Finding the right balance is tricky, but you can pull it off. Work done behind the scenes on the 9th seems totally unrewarding. Don't grumble; it'll pay off down the line. A friend wants to be more than that on the 14th. Do some soul searching first about what really want from this person. By the 27th you're sure where you stand with all around and can
enjoy some fun and frolic.

These continue to be strange times for you. Your options are broader than ever. But how do you decide which way to go? Break free. Act impulsively and with confidence. You just might like the result. Around the 8th someone close grows fractious. Remain aloof from whims and tantrums; your superior wisdom will win out. You're most likely picking up the slack for a co-worker around the 22nd. Just make sure you don't let this person take advantage of your good
nature.

Give in to the silly season. Someone warm and romantic may find your madness quite divine. Make no work-related decisions around the 26th. Both your fuse and perspective are on the 

short side then. But if you can dodge a confrontation, you and a co-worker can forge a new long-term understanding.

You need to be needed, but being surrounded by needy types makes you claustrophobic. Be careful how you express your displeasure around the 8th. You may come off as more caustic than you mean. Mid-month is prime time for romance. A getaway à deux allows both love and creativity to blossom. Tend any new shoots that appear on the 15th especially. Pull up any weeds, like people or situations you don't like, on the 26th. Be ruthless, especially if someone close refuses to play fair.

You're confined to quarters, but like the feeling. Your co-stars are sweet-natured now, and there's much to be explored in your immediate vicinity.

But any slacking off then will be noticed. Both your finances and love life continue to benefit from less-than-orthodox methods. Around the 23rd, you're surprisingly candid about your feelings. In this case, it's a good thing since it inspires some tenderness in a once-indifferent romantic lead.
