Engage in conversation that brings you knowledge about something you want to pursue. Getting the OK from people you love will be easy if you are straightforward about the details.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 Your desire for change may not make everyone close to you happy. Your best bet is to inch your way in the direction you want without making a big splash. Once you have things in order, you can share your plans and your success.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Share your feelings. Added responsibilities can be lifted if you are honest about what you can and are willing to do and what you are not. Don’t be afraid to apply a little pressure if someone gives you a hard time.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 You need a change of pace and a change of scenery. Make plans that will allow you the free- dom to interact with people who can contribute to some of your ideas and plans for the future. Love is high- lighted during the evening hours.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Be careful how you approach touchy topics when dealing with friends, relatives, or your lover. Kindness and compassion will help you get what you want; criticism will not. Expand your interests if it will help you share a special moment with someone.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Not everyone will be on your side. Be careful when sharing your ideas and plans, especial- ly with colleagues or someone who can have an effect on your future. Allow a little time for something enter- taining. It will lift your spirits.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Question anyone who is dubious. It’s up to you to ferret out any information that you need to know before making a decision, especially if it has to do with your income. Someone from your past may be the ideal partner in your future.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Work behind the scenes. Finish your work before you reveal what you are trying to accomplish. It’s better to surprise everyone than to fall short of the expectations you have raised in others.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Getting along with others will be half the battle. Put your time and effort into build- ing a strong and stable base at home emotionally, financially, and physically. Spend time with the people who really mean something to you.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Communication can resolve misunderstandings. Engage in heartfelt communication, and you will find out where you stand with people in your personal and professional world. Diplomacy and charm will help you win trust as well as favors.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Watch what you say if you socialize. Not everyone will share your opinion, and you may be judged harshly. Greater effort put into earning a living or finding ways to subsidize your income will bring positive results as well as praise.
