Tuesday, June 24, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take care of domestic matters before they escalate into a full-fledged problem. Whether it’s a physical, emotional, or financial fix that’s required, stay on top of matters. Expect to alter your plans because of a last-minute change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t share personal secrets. You’ll encounter someone who is jealous and unpredictable. Keep your professional matters to yourself, and focus on doing your job. Accept the inevitable, and you will find it much easier to deal with the changes going on around you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick to whatever budget you set. Impulse pur- chases will set you back financially. Problems with settlements, legal matters, or contracts can be avoided if you are precise in what’s acceptable and what isn’t. You cannot please everyone. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take part in community ventures that are geared toward improving your neighborhood. Showing an interest can bring about positive changes. The contributions you make will raise issues that must be dealt with before you can proceed with your plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are in need of a change; take the initiative. Start a crusade that brings about incentive to the people you work with to help you reach your goals. An emotional relationship will be enhanced by your actions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put everything you’ve got into doing the best job possible. You will be judged on your professional dealings and ability to get along with others. Don’t be fooled by someone trying to mislead you. Control, caution, and courtesy will lead to victory. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Listen, discuss plans, and do your best to learn whatever information you require firsthand. Ulterior motives are apparent where money is concerned. Get whatever you agree upon in writing. A change of plans can help alleviate discord. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Evasiveness regarding a contract or investment should be questioned. Home improvements that are conducive to your com- fort and emotional outlook should be put into motion. Make a point to do a follow-up regarding a medical issue. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hard work plus creativity and talent will put you ahead professionally. A partnership will have its perks as long as you keep what you bring to the table equal. Don’t be enticed by someone offering a secret rendezvous. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a walk down memory lane, and you will find the answers you need to move forward. Reflect, rejuvenate, and recon- sider your options. With a little thought, consideration, and planning, you can improve your life. Try something new. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t neglect your responsibilities when you should move full-tilt ahead in order to reach your destination. Making changes to your personal surroundings or altering how you live will bring you satisfaction and greater joy. Love is highlighted. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stop procrastinating; make a move. Time is of the essence and can make a difference between success and failure. Make a decision regarding your home and your personal finances. A joint venture isn’t likely to work, so be prepared to move forward on your own.
