ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a closer eye on what everyone around you is doing. Someone may unintentionally put you in a compromising position. Stay calm – if you overreact, you will never be able to convince others of your true position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything is turning around for you today. The more you rely on the favors owed to you, the further you will get. You have plenty to look forward to if you just take charge of your future. Love is evident.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will have the fortitude to undertake a major project. The more you accomplish, the more time you will have to spend with someone you enjoy. Spending time with like- minded people should be your goal.
