CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone is likely to be deceptive with you about money deals. Keep a tight hold on your finances, and don’t be eager to let someone know how much you have. Concentrate on yourself and your family.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Waffling will only lead to more confusion. Your personal life will suffer if you can’t make up your mind. Re-evaluate your motives and your concerns for the future. Do what’s right as well as what’s best for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let anyone put one over on you today. Stand up for your rights. You can’t work for nothing. It’s time you realized what you are worth and ask for it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Idle time will be a waste. Romance is in a high cycle, so leave time to socialize or spend time with the one you love. Take an old idea and recycle it – you were ahead of your time the first time around.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s time to pull out all the stops and put your time and effort into something you really believe in. Your hard work will pay off financially if you refuse to give up. Focus on the here and now, not the past.
