A change in the way you live and the responsibilities you must take care of can be expected. Facing every day with optimism and an open mind will help you conquer what others cannot. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You aren’t being told everything you need to know. Find out exactly what’s expected of you or you will waste time doing things that aren’t necessary. A romantic relationship can go either way. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make contact with people you have something in common with. You will accomplish a lot more if you work within a group. Travel if it will help you take care of something that’s important to you. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Set your sights on progress and accomplishment and you will reach your goals. Emotional issues can be dealt with if you are honest about the way you feel. Children and seniors are likely to play an important decision-making role. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep it simple, especially when dealing with friends and family. The less said, the better. Don’t count on getting along with everybody you encounter. It will be best to keep an open mind but a practical outlook. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let money matters or contracts confuse you. Nothing is too difficult to figure out if you apply your experience and knowledge. Stop running from someone only interested in making your life better. An Aries or Libra will make a difference to your personal life. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look for any help you can get that will allow you to be more creative and productive in a job that needs your attention. Paying more attention to detail will pay off and allow you more time to spend at home or with someone you love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Problems will surface at home if you aren’t careful what you say to friends, relatives or neighbors. Expect to face some backlash regarding a story you share about a friend or past associate. It’s best to say little and do a lot for best results. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rely on your past experience to help you make the right choices now. If you act impulsively, you will make a costly personal mistake that will deplete your bank account as well. Stick to what and who you know.
