This is a great time to look into personal or professional partnerships that can alter the way you earn your living in the future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Secrets will not help you solve personal problems. Be open regarding your feelings and ask questions if you think someone is keeping something from you. Anger isn’t the answer, but good communication will restore your faith.
