ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let money matters cause you emotional worry. An opportunity to start something new or learn a new skill that will help your career is apparent. Buckle down and set a budget.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love, romance and doing things that help others should all be built into your schedule today. Don’t let an older individual in your life put restrictions on you. A look at a possibly lucrative investment will excite you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may have big ideas and want to make mega changes but instead, lay your plans out carefully and make sure they are viable before you move ahead. Someone who interests you may fool you into thinking you can make unrealistic gains.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are thinking clearly but it’s what you are thinking about that may be a little off course. Put your efforts into professional or educational pursuits. It is apparent someone has caught your eye ­- think with your head, not your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Have fun but keep in mind that someone around you is probably leaving you out of the wheeling and dealing. You may want to enjoy the moment that feels like victory but, if you aren’t part of the game, your 15 minutes of fame won’t be all that satisfying.
