Shinyashiki named MLS Rookie of the Year After falling short of completing one of the biggest comebacks in Major League Soccer history and making the MLS Playoffs, the Colorado Rapids gained validation in their future when Andre Shinyashiki was named the MLS Rookie of the Year. The 22-year-old native of São Paulo, Brazil and University of Denver alum was selected by the Rapids after they traded up to pick him fifth overall in the MLS SuperDraft last winter. Shinyashiki produced seven goals in 31 appearances for Colorado and looks to be a key piece going forward at Dicks Sporting Goods Park.

“That’s boring, that’s irrelevent and that’s Hamlet.” “He’s not struggling as much as I want him to.” “I’m not saying it’s insurance fraud, I’m saying it’s an effective way to get rid of a woodpecker.”
Capricorn
Cancer
Capricorn should take the time to make sure that they don’t succumb to their instinct for pessimism. Science and common sense agree that a positive outlook improves results.
Cancer likes to cling on to past regrets. Much as people say to let go, there is a chance for self-reflection in obsession. If the former isn’t possible, strive at least for the latter.
Aquarius
Leo
Aquarius is posed to finish a major task in the coming week, and would do well to redouble their efforts, so as not to trip at the last hurdle.
Leo is in a period of minor flux. Such times are trying for one’s trust in the universe, but keep that trust and things should work out fine.
“Don’t mess with Texas, it smells weird.”
Top 5
Pisces
Virgo
Pisces tends towards a private nature. Care should be taken not to shut out close friends and family out of instinct, and to be as open as possible this week.
Virgo is a sucker for a good problem, and this week will deliver. Their resolution will hold just the sense of satisfaction Virgo has been craving.
Aries
Time Travel Movies
Aries is feeling an itch to do something a little harebrained of late. This week is perfect for following gut instinct, throwing caution to the wind and doing something exhilarating!

Taurus
Libra Libra’s scales are the paragon of balance. Equanimity is the byword this week, and Libra should make sure that other’s petty grievances don’t drag them down.
Scorpio
Taurus is a creature of habit and inertia. But habit and inertia are exactly how people fall in ruts. Even a minor course change is good for keeping the same-old same-old at bay.
Scorpio is steadfast, but this week threatens to make the scorpion’s stinger look more like a buried head. Reign in that sense of righteousness, and listen carefully this week.
Gemini
Sagittarius
Gemini can struggle to see past the surface level. That’s a risk this week particularly, and efforts to see a little deeper will be well rewarded.
This week will prove that Sagittarius’ carefree nature doesn’t always spell disaster. Don’t let that create a false sense of security though. Care and attention are still important.
