ARIES
(Mar. 21- April 20)
New methods and innovative technology will make your job far easier than you anticipated. Do not get into uncertain financial deals. Beware of someone who is trying to make you look bad.
TAURUS
(Apr. 21- may 21)
Get back to basics and reevaluate what is important in life. You have worked hard and the payback is now. Don’t go hog wild when it comes to entertainment or you could find yourself short of funds at the end of the month.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Someone you live with will get angry if you are neglecting your duties. You will be emotional when dealing with coworkers or employers. Do not let them blow situations out of proportion.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
You can have an enjoyable time if you socialize with friends. Chances to express your ideas and beliefs can bring popularity as long as you’re not arrogant. Try not to push your philosophies on others.
LEO
(July 23-Aug 22)
Try not to judge too quickly. Don’t divulge secret information. Don’t give your heart too readily.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 -Sept. 23)
You may meet that special person if you attend fundraising functions. You’ll be pleased with the results if you take the time to decorate your home. Don’t get involved in other people’s private doings.
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 -Oct. 23)
Focus on your domestic scene. Get together with friends or relatives. If they want help that’s great, but if they try to take credit for your work, you will have to set them straight. Don’t let domestic problems interfere with your objectives.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24 – Nov. 22)
You can make some money if you get involved in a conservative financial prospect that is presented to you. Don’t overspend on entertainment, on children, or make poor investments. Don’t put limitations on yourself.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23 -Dec. 21)
Make plans to attend group discussions or get together with friends who like to talk as much as you do. Don’t bother complaining, do the work yourself. You’ll have amazing ideas, but superiors may try to block your attempts at implementing them.
CAPRICORN
(Dec 22.- Jan. 20)
Don’t let peers distract you or push their work your way. Your family may be feeling neglected and unloved. Put your time and energy into home improvement.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21 -Feb. 19)
Depression may be likely if you’re away from home. Don’t be too confident that coworkers are on your side. A quiet restful day just staying in bed or catching up on reading will be your best bet.
PISCES
(Feb. 20-Mar. 20)
You may find that your quick wit and charm will help you in obtaining allies. You are best to back away from commitment. Your passionate mood will be well received by your mate.
