ARIES (March 21-April 19): Clean up your act. You might have a rosy picture of how people perceive you when you are in the public eye, but this might not be true. What you think is well hidden is not.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Double your pleasure. You will achieve twice as much when teamed up with a partner. If there is a job to do, or someplace to go, take along a congenial friend or significant other.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think outside the box. You won’t struggle to make ends meet if you tackle the ends with sensible solutions. Someone might give you a clue, an idea, a small gratuity, or encouragement.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn on the charm and let a smile light up your face when you pick up the phone. A twist of fate could highlight your real friends and those who disappear at the first sign of a storm.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Compatibility and lasting devotion is based on friendship. Once an intoxicating chemical attraction wears off you’ll need something more to talk about to maintain a lasting relationship.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It might seem perfect but might not be polite. If you are single you might sense possibilities in every warm smile or appraising glance. Be discreet about your interactions with business contacts.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Maintain the advantage. You can handle problems or disputes by remaining tolerant and serene. Rise above the senseless, irrational fears that prompt other people to run for cover.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It is possible that you prefer to be pampered and petted. You may even be primed for a party. It doesn’t seem to matter that it is the middle of the week or that there are tasks to be done.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Friendly competition is chicken soup for the soul. Demonstrate your expertise by exhibiting a take-charge manner. Romantic sparks could fly with a loved one.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You exemplify what it means to live and learn. You benefit from the best and worst experiences. A reminder of a past mistake may save you from making an expensive mistake.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There may be a moral obligation to contribute to the pot. Share your money as well as your time. Your charity will ensure that you are considered a contributing member of the community.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Wear your wisdom well. Your hunches may be more reliable than some facts. Love and affection seem to take center stage where the footlights are flattering to your every move.
IF JULY 17 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The next two to three weeks may be the best time for astute business dealings or breaking through the glass ceiling with your career. Launch your most important plans or ideas in late September or early October, a time when beneficial opportunities may arrive. Wisdom from unlikely sources may prevent you from making a business or career mistake but the good wishes of friends and family cannot save you from flawed priorities in late October. Pass up a new hookup or investment opportunity in August when your gullibility is at a temporary high point. December and January are excellent months to make progress with both your material and spiritual goals.
