Aries, you’ve got an admirer! If it's a romantic vibe, they might be an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn). If it's work-related (Coins do have a career feel), then it’s someone who respects what you do and is in a position of power to offer you something you want. So, put yourself out there this week. Showcase your talents, nurture your network, and be visible. Someone is going to show up and surprise you!

Decide what is going to happen, and then see it through.
