ARIES (March 21-April 19): Finish what you start, live up to your promises and protect your reputation.

Clear vision and being sensible are your tickets to success. 5 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep an open mind and use intelligence and experience to resolve issues. Inflicting pressure or muscle to get your way will not help you win a battle. Consider the fallout if you are shortsighted and let mixed emotions lead to a mistake and regret. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pay attention to how others respond. Be aware of what’s happening, and don’t let your emotions interfere with your decisions. You’ll get the best results if you take the time to gather the facts before you proceed. Stick to the truth and avoid a dispute. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Think with your head, not your heart. Don’t give in to someone taking advantage of you emotionally. Take control, call the shots and adjust situations to suit your needs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take the initiative to get your house in order. Make changes that counter anyone trying to stand in your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let your emotions compromise your position. Take a wait-and-see approach when dealing with friends and lovers.
