Looking, feeling and doing your very best will be your ticket to new opportunities and a secure and stable future. Trust in yourself and your abilities. This is not the year to wait around to see if someone else will do the work for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pay close attention to situations involving business or personal relationships. Be prepared to offer what you can and to compromise if necessary to keep things running smoothly. Practice patience, offer understanding and work in unison to find solutions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Pick up a skill or information that will lead to a lucrative position. Speak up and take a progressive step in a direction that offers promise for a better future. Don’t live in the past when you should be moving forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Try not to take what others say or do as a personal affront. Live in the moment and look for ways to better your prospects. Love is on the rise, and focusing on having fun with someone special will ease your stress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t count on others when it comes to emotional issues. Take care of business by doing what you feel is best. Interference can be avoided if you refuse to let others get involved in your affairs. Use your head and follow your heart.
