Don’t let anyone hold you back or make you feel inadequate. If there is something you want to do, follow through. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll face opposition if you are too pushy about how and what you want done around home. A professional change will allow you greater freedom to put your attributes to the test.
