Your courage and knowledge will far surpass If we think it’s good, we’ll run it — and anyone you encounter. Face a challenge head-on. maybe contact you for more. TAURUS April 20-May 20 Use your imagination, and delve into projects that are unusual or geared toward help- ing others, but don’t let anyone take advantage of you emotionally. If you are clear about what you are willing to contribute, you will stay in control.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 An empty promise will cost you. Unless you have something in writing, you must be practi- cal and act on what you know is factual. There will be greater returns if you invest in the skills, talents, and serv- ices you have to offer.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Refrain from changing your mind. You’ll be viewed as unpredictable if you cannot make a decision and stick to it. Focus on what you can do to solve problems instead of creating more. A short busi- ness trip will bring high returns.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 Don’t wait for someone else to do the work. If you want to make an impression, you have to be the one responsible for what gets done. “Too little, too late” will be what stands between you and your dreams, hopes, and wishes.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Problems regarding work and employment will develop if you appear to be unstable and emotional about the changes going on around you. Concentrate on doing the best job possible and keeping your distance from gossips and rumormongers.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Let your intuition guide you when it comes to the way you look and the people you want to spend time with. Both love and physical looks will play important roles in the changes that take place now.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Careful whom you trust with your money, possessions, or assets. You have to take responsibility for whatever you have or are trying to obtain. How you handle your obligations will influence your personal and professional position.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Work on your partnerships. Make sure that everyone you are dealing with is happy or at least understands your situation. Love is in the stars, and a change in your personal lifestyle and living arrangements looks positive.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Don’t base your decisions on what you hear secondhand. Someone will provide incor- rect information, which can lead to an unwise choice if you act too quickly. Concentrate on home, your invest- ments, and how you can protect what you have accumulated.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Trust in your own judgment, not what someone else says or does. Avoid anyone who is overindulgent or boasting. Stabilize a relationship that means a lot to you by making a commitment or prom- ise to accommodate a request being made.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 An insightful view regarding work and money concerns will help you make a decision. Look for a way to incorporate what you’ve done in the past into what’s expected of you now, and you will save time and money.
