Your numbers are 9, 13, 23, 28, 35, 40, 46. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep an open mind and refrain from sharing your opinions. Distance between you and someone that tends to overdo it will help you stay on track and out of trouble. Focus on positive personal changes and your success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t get down; get moving. Concentrate on all the little things you need to accomplish in order to ease your stress and open your schedule to take on new and exciting endeavors. Stick close to home and avoid unstable situations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Experience, knowledge and following your desires will get you moving in the right direction. Don’t let someone’s lack of enthusiasm or emotional manipulation slow you down. A proactive approach to whatever you pursue will be exhilarating and insightful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Finish chores so that you can enjoy the rest of your day without feeling guilty or being reminded of your shortcomings. Once you are clear of responsibilities, a romantic encounter or pursuing an entertaining outing should be planned.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’ll have plenty to do and lots to see. Embrace change rather than fight it. There is more to gain if you trust in your integrity, faith, knowledge and experience. A poker face will be required. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An investigative approach to someone or something you have to deal with will put your mind at ease. Use your intuition and your magnetic appeal to get the information you need. You can drum up support if you get involved in community events. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Embrace life and make the changes that will bring you contentment and greater happiness. Socializing with friends will help you make a decision involving your current residence and the way you live. A hidden matter will be revealed.
