GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be doing all the right things, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you will get the results you are looking for. Be patient and adaptable, and everything will eventually fall into place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Travel, setting up meetings and attending to matters that will help you advance should be your intent. Someone is likely to try to undermine you, but if you are a straight shooter, everything should work to your advantage.
