GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fight for what you want but do so with integrity or you will be blamed for not giving valid information. Choose your words carefully or someone with a smooth appeal may outmaneuver you. Keep your feelings out of the equation.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A good attitude can carry you a long way, especially with work and advancement. Your ability to do a good job will get twice the recognition if the people around you also enjoy your company.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will exceed your expectations if you are diligent about finishing what you’ve left undone before starting something new. Keep things simple. As soon as you try to take on too much, confusion will set in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone is likely to cover up what’s really going on, leading you to make wrong assumptions and miss the point. Once you know the score, take the time to give individual attention to everything that needs to be addressed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t slow down when you have so much to do. You will face adversity along with complaints and criticism but that must not stop you from forging ahead. Now is not the time to let sentimentality or emotions stand in your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have to be the one to decide what you want to do and how you want to do it. Input is fine but bullying will set you back. Your strength will come from your ability to let others know where they stand and how you feel about the interference.
