ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be careful what you offer. Someone will take advantage of you if you are too accommodating.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be right on the money when it comes to solving problems and initiating change, but you’ll also attract interference and people who try to take advantage of you. Make yourself clear, get what you want in writing, and be sure that your time, effort and money go directly where you want and need them to go. 4 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Overreacting and exaggeration will tempt you. Be careful not to overextend yourself or to promise more than you can deliver.

Personal pampering or one-on-one time with someone you love is favored. 2 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Choose goals and push forward. A change of attitude and feelings about certain people will encourage decisions about who you spend more time with. Align yourself with those who have as much to contribute as you, and you’ll avoid setbacks and emotional angst. It’s time to make life choices and elevate or cut ties with deadweight. 5 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be inquisitive. The more interest you show in how and what others are doing, the easier it will become to get the help you require to get what you want.

Walk away from temptation, excessive behavior and those who bring out the worst in you. 2 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take your time. You may feel anxious to reach your destination, but the risk of overlooking something essential to your goal is high if you neglect the details.
