ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t point the finger or nag when an empathetic point of view will bring better results. The more understanding you are, the more knowledge you will receive for making a sound judgment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make the effort to deal with people in person. You will get a much better response and more accomplished if you can offer your ideas and plans directly. Your preparation will lead to success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t do something stupid because you are all wrapped up in a personal matter. Separate your business and personal needs or mistakes will be made. Confusion is apparent, and the situation will require help from someone who knows and understands you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are the least bit indecisive, someone will try to talk you into doing something you don’t want to do. A little aggression on your part will set the record straight. Good things are heading your way, so stay in control.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have trouble controlling your emotions, especially when dealing with personal matters, relationships, and where money and love intertwine. There will be a fine line between buying and winning friendship. Let your Leo charm lead the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Not everything will be made available to you. You have to refrain from jumping into a situation too quickly or without proper information. The more time you spend listening, the better off you will be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Asking for help may be daunting, but in doing so, you will connect with someone who can contribute something in return. Greater opportunities will be made available if you are willing to give back and share your expertise, ideas, and time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t find out things the hard way. Dig deep, and you’ll discover who is working with you and who isn’t. Don’t divulge your secrets, or they will be used against you by someone you least expect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you let an emotional matter distract you, you will lose sight of important matters. If someone wants to make changes, don’t fight her or him, but if it isn’t something you want to take part in, take a pass.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look at all the different angles involving a financial or legal matter that you are facing. Someone will give you information that may cause you to make a costly mistake. Don’t feel you have to act fast, even if someone is pressuring you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your future will be influenced by the choices that are made by those close to you. Speak up — let your feelings be known. Love is in the picture, and a relationship you are in will open up some new options that could help your current situation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you are oblivious to what everyone around you is thinking and doing, you will not have a say in what’s going on. You must understand the implications so you can protect your interests and perhaps even submit an offer that will benefit you.
