June 21-July 22 Dear Cancer, you are as loyal as man’s best friend. It can sometimes take a bit for someone to get past your suspicious nature, but once they do, they’ll have a friend for life.
ARTstrology: Gemini
May 21-June 20 As a Gemini twin, you may often feel like you embody opposing characteristics at once. Though you may struggle to find the balance, leaning in your contradictions could prove to be an asset. Embrace the contrasts and see what happens!
ARTstrology: Taurus
April 20 – May 20 Like a tree with deep roots, you Taurus, will persist through the toughest trials. Your fatal flaw, though, is powering through without listening to others. If you learn to step back and get some feedback, you may grow even taller.

ARTstrology: Scorpio
October 23-November 21 As a Scorpio, you might identify with dogs and their unrelenting loyalty. Once you trust someone, you stick by them no matter what. Just make sure that your love doesn’t turn into jealousy and you’ll be just fine.
