ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t make a fuss; go about your business and avoid getting into a confrontation. Learn from mistakes, and handle peers and family with compassion and understanding. Personal growth will bring you satisfaction, but criticizing others will not. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think before you react. You’ll have some good ideas, but if you are too pushy, it will be difficult to get others to go along with your plan. Monitor how others react, and make adjustments that will reinforce safety over risk. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stick close to the people you trust to help you see situations honestly. The suggestions offered may not be your first choice, but they are probably your best. A physical improvement you make will result in compliments as well as self-satisfaction. 5 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t believe everything you hear. Do your own fact-checking, and be patient when urged to make a snap decision. Time is on your side, and waiting until you are sure about what you want to do is in your best interest. 3 stars
