ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Rome wasn’t built in a day. Be patient and allow events to unfold before you decide that you need to make sweeping changes. Your first impression of someone may be off the mark so reserve judgment.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The buck stops here. Own up to mistakes and don’t try to blame a poor performance on someone or something else. Let someone divulge private information on their own, don’t force the issue.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make dreams a reality. It may be worth checking out if a good idea has a feasible chance at working. As time marches on it may be necessary to assess whether you need to replace the old with the new.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t hesitate to speak your mind. It would be foolish to go along with a plan that isn’t working so be sure to let everyone know what you think. A disagreement does not need to turn into an argument.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Step back and count to ten. Trying to accomplish too much in too short of a time may leave you frazzled so just take a break when needed. Your own perfectionism may be what makes a task too difficult.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Even a rerun is new to you if you haven’t seen it before. You may only have to travel to your own backyard to discover something new and exciting. Go out of your way to meet new people and make new friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Take the wind out of their sails. Someone may be itching for a fight, but you can easily diffuse the situation with wit and humor. Today you can’t talk your way through anything unless you pour on the charm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Butting heads only give you a headache. Don’t get drawn into a confrontation, especially for silly or frivolous reasons. Solving a difficult problem may prove to be a stimulating way to pass the time.

SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Don’t jump the gun. Be sure to have all available facts at your disposal before making a tough decision. Those who are pressuring you to act quickly may not really be on your side.

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Let things slide for now. You’ve done enough work this week so just kick back and relax for the time being. A quiet evening at home may result in you finding perfect harmony with a loved one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can always do better. Don’t get too content with a good performance as the next step is to raise the bar even higher for next time. Be wary that a kind act doesn’t have romantic overtones.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Dare to be different. Going through the same old motions is likely to put you to sleep so be on the lookout for something exciting and new. Those who pique your interest today may be out of your usual set.

IF JULY 28 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: As the next five to six weeks unfold you will be more practical and businesslike than usual, making this a good time to reassess your financial status and business goals.
