ARIES (March 21-April 19): Surround yourself with trustworthy people. Be direct, and don’t let your emotions interfere with your work or relationships with others. Indecisiveness will make you look incompetent. When in doubt, take a pass and revisit your options. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make sure you know what you’re doing before you begin. If you don’t live up to your promises, it will affect your reputation and hurt your chance to advance. Stick to the plan, and don’t take unnecessary risks. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Express your feelings. It’s OK to veer off in a direction that you find more creative and exciting. Reach out to people who share your likes and dislikes, and it will stimulate you to try something new. 5 stars
