ARIES With your boss away for one reason or another, you’ll find yourself taking over for them, much to your sur- prise. Trust your instincts and your leadership skills will shine.

TAURUS With a business trip coming up, you may worry about your ability­ to communicate in a foreign language. Don’t fret; you’ll surpass your own expectations.

GEMINI You may go back to school with the goal of making a career change. Your pa- tience and hard work will provide you with an oppor- tunity to get out of a precar- ious financial situation.

CANCER Generally, you’re not the type to hesitate before mak- ing a big decision. This time, however, you exten- sively deliberate the pros and cons first. What’s more, new information will come to light at the last minute. “The Innocence Files” “Outer Banks” “Mrs. America” “What We Do in the This nine-episode A group of teen are Oscar winner Shadows” LEO documentary series from forced to make life-altering (“Blue Jasmine”) stars as At work, you’ll deal with The second season of this emergencies and unsatisfied executive producers Liz decisions when a hurricane conservative activist Phyllis comedy- series finds customers.­ Your smile will Garbus, Alex Gibney and cuts the power to their coastal Schlafly, who led the fight diffuse a tense situation and the four vampires trying to find help you iron out one or Roger Ross Williams spotlights North Carolina for against the Equal Rights their way in a world of human more difficulties. the personal stories behind the summer in this coming- Amendment in the 1970s, Super Bowl parties, internet eight cases of wrongful of-age story from executive in this drama series from VIRGO , an energy vampire, One way or another you’re conviction that the nonprofit producers/showrunners Jonas creator Dahvi Waller (“Halt ghosts, witches, necromancers, sure to accomplish a great organization the Innocence Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon and Catch Fire”).

In order to re- store peace at home, take the time to establish­ or clar- ify the house rules.

SCORPIO You can no longer keep your opinions to yourself and will express out loud what others are only think- ing. You’ll have to get used to a new phone that’s much more complex than your old one.

SAGITTARIUS Take the time to look over your bills and receipts. You may catch an error and re- cuperate a considerable amount of money.

CAPRICORN Patience probably won’t be your greatest virtue in the days to come. Any money worries you have now will go away in time.
