ARIES (March 21-April 19): Everything may appear to be unstable but, if you are diligent, you will be able to hold your ground. Don’t let an emotional partner lead you off course.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let emotional issues cloud your vision especially in matters of work or travel. You have a lot to deal with today and, if you aren’t willing to negotiate, you probably won’t be able to make headway.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As much as you would like to put certain matters behind you, now is not the time. New friendships or getting involved with people who can offer you suggestions and information should be your intent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Not everyone will be moving in the same direction as you, especially when it comes to the way you want things done. A problem with a youngster, partner or even a roommate will leave you feeling left out and lonely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Everyone around you will want to get involved in whatever you choose to do. Your commanding way of presenting your ideas will take on a whole new meaning if you follow through with action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get out and do things with friends. Sticking around home will lead to emotional problems. The more you get to do that is unusual, the more you will learn that you can apply to your everyday life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take care of personal business. Make changes at home that will allow you the freedom you need to be successful. A new workspace at home will inspire you to develop one of your ideas that could turn into a moneymaker.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Nothing will match up or develop the way you hoped. Avoid minor mishaps. If you aren’t cautious while traveling, you will find yourself facing an awkward or vulnerable situation. Don’t leave any room for misinterpretation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put all your energy into moneymaking deals. Luck is with you and the chance to turn any wrong into a right will enable you to collect what is owed to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Help is on the way and your ability to adapt to change will enable you to make the most of whatever comes your way. Show your versatility. A door that was closed in the past will be opened again.

Birthday Baby: You have a lot of spunk but with that often comes trouble. You aren’t afraid to let others know what you think. You are determined to do whatever you think is best and right for everyone.
