ARIES March 21-April 19 Put a hop into your step, and finish projects that are gathering dust. It’s difficult to move for- ward with so much clutter, literally and figuratively. A clear passage will lead to better decisions and greater progress. — Trisha Spence is making the awk- ward turtle. TAURUS April 20-May 20 Offering help is likely to lead to being taken advantage of you if you aren’t careful. You’ll learn a valuable lesson if you watch the way a pro takes care of other people’s business. Social activity will enhance your love life.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 Don’t be too quick to respond. Taking your time and assessing the situation will help you avoid making a mistake based on false information. Question anyone or anything that confuses you. Put your money and possessions in a safe place.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Emotional blackmail must be avoided if you want to get things done. Not everyone will play fair, and you have to keep your eye on those trying to get something for nothing. Form an alliance with someone who thinks the same way you do.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 Do your best job, or someone will point out your shortcomings. You need a change. Whether it’s your surroundings, your philosophy or spending time with new acquaintances, the diversion will spark ideas that will shape the way you move forward.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Try something new; expand your outlook, friendships, and future interests. Make person- al changes that will raise your confidence and give you the push you need to do things you’ve been afraid to pursue in the past.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Sign up for something that interests you. A course, a challenge, or some form of self- improvement will help you make a choice regarding your next move. Don’t let anyone push you in a direction you don’t want to go.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Put greater emphasis on relationships, but don’t let your heart confuse you when it comes to money decisions. Changes at home must be cost-efficient if they are going to ease your stress. Love and romance are in the stars.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 It’s what you do and how you treat others that will bring you positive returns. Anger or impulsive action will lead to trouble with authority figures and peers. Don’t start something you cannot fin- ish. Stick close to home.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Live, love, laugh, and be happy. Work to improve your home, family, and financial life. Love is in the stars, and finding solutions to any problems you face will be easy if you share your thoughts and work with worthy contributors.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Too much of anything or anyone will go against whatever you are trying to accom- plish. Organize and prepare for what’s ahead with a realistic outlook, and gather the data to back the decisions you make. Strength and courage prevail.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 You’ve got all the right moves. Look at your options, and call in favors if it will help you get what you want. Apply pressure; show your strength and willpower. Success can be yours, but it demands time, effort, and dedication.
