ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be more secretive about your finances. You will face emotional and financial deception that will leave you in a precarious position. Don't feel pressured to make a move if you aren't ready. You should stay busy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will be totally stressed out if you take the people around you too seriously. Separate and sort through the issues as they arise. The action you take now will determine what happens down the road.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don't give in to someone who wants you to slack off when you have so much to gain by working hard today. You'll have some great ideas that will gain interest from people who can influence your future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): An opportunity is there for the taking, but if you are reluctant to take a chance or make a change, you may miss out. Do all those things you've been talking about but haven't followed through with. Get serious about what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Taking on more than you can handle will lead to emotional issues. If you decide to become aggressive, you aren't likely to win. You will put someone off with your demands. You are far better off taking care of yourself and chilling out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Check out what others have to say and to contribute. Once you know where you stand, you can make a clear decision. An opportunity must be jumped on, especially if it will help you expand your circle of friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Organization will help you get what you want. A love relationship is taking an interesting turn. Don't get emotional, but do let your true feelings be known. A creative endeavor will be well-received and have the potential to make you some cash.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You won't be seeing things clearly today. Someone you are close to may try to ruin your plans. Be a little secretive about your comings and goings, and you will accomplish far more in the end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Lean toward people who have a serious attitude, and you will get the help, information, or insight you've been searching for. A little fun mixed into your work will help those around you see you in a different light.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A chance to settle something that has been pending will be made available to you. Don't feel you have to go it alone, especially when emotional issues are involved. A change will be as good as a rest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Listen to what someone close to you has to say. You may not like what you hear, but there will be a certain amount of validity to the information given. Use this insight with your own strategy, and you will find your way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don't be fooled by a get-rich-quick idea. Instead, invest in a sure thing. The wrong choice will lead to arguments with family. An older or experienced individual will help you out.
