TAURUS April 20-May 20 Deal with any legal, financial, or health matters quickly. You may have to use a little force if you want to get things done on time and to your specifications. Don’t give in to an emotional ploy that will end up costing you financially.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 Be realistic regarding the promises you make. If you are too generous with your time, money, or the services you offer, someone will take advantage of you. Problems or opposition will arise if you are too open about your plans.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Hide your emotions from anyone who can influence your position or reputation. Don’t deviate from the way you are asked to do things. You will face a no-win situation that must be handled with caution. Compromise will pay off.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 Participate in events, and you will be recognized for your skill, talent, and ability to take charge. Love is in the stars, and you can enrich your current relationship with a little romance or find someone special if you are single.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Take care of money, health, or legal matters that can influence your home, family, and per- sonal security. Take an interest in political reforms that can affect your lifestyle and environment. Speaking up for your rights will enhance your reputation.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Make the first move if it will help you get a deal off the ground or initiate a friendship with someone you want to get to know better or work with. Don’t allow a controlling person to hold you back.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Take on a challenge; it will motivate you to get involved in larger projects that can lead to monetary and personal gains. Look into making physical or financial alterations that will bring you greater confidence or stability.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 A residential move or change will work to your advantage. Changing your surround- ings, the way you live, or whom you live with will not please everyone, but it will make you happy. Follow your heart, and live your life your way.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Assess and consider your options before you lay your cards on the table. You are likely to upset someone if you make changes without getting approval first. Focus on self-improvement and keeping the peace for the time being.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 You’ve got what it takes to persuade others to follow your lead. Home-improvement projects will pay off, and love relationships will be enhanced by the changes you make. A skill or service you can offer will bring cash returns.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Don’t be disillusioned by what others say or do. Stick to the truth, and keep your thoughts out in the open. Honesty will be the only route to take if you don’t want to suffer a loss. Don’t give in to emotional manipulation.
