ARIES (March 21-April 19): Slow and steady wins the race. Those in close connection may expect a level of perfection that simply isn’t feasible or blow minor problems out of proportion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your eyes may be open, yet you may not see. What you perceive might prove to be no more than a fantasy. This is not a good time to sign a contract or agreement as you might avoid reading the fine print.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You could be overly concerned with what’s wrong with something or someone when whatever is right should be the subject of concentration. Don’t let petty mistakes or errors take up too much of your time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can’t solve problems by throwing money at them. Dwelling on the past or repeating previously unsuccessful tactics is counterproductive. Weak or tentative relationships could suffer a minor disagreement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do the right thing. You may experience a conflict between the desire to hoard the goodies and a generous instinct to share them with others. Don’t sign agreements or make a promise until you have resolved the issue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Show appreciation. Family members or a partner may bend over backwards to please you. Avoid making impulsive purchases or changes to your budget or payment plan. Share key decisions with a wiser partner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It isn’t wise to test the depth of the water with both feet. Your intuitions might fall short when you are caught in a precarious situation. The best way to avoid making mistakes is to avoid making irrevocable decisions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remain objective and make your own decisions. Problems in paradise could erupt if partners handle the steering wheel. Other people in your life may not have all the facts that are needed or could be gullible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ride it out. Dissatisfaction with your financial condition or some extra bills could tempt you to make unnecessary changes to your budget or payment schedule. Focus on a happy home and making your family proud.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your reactions to yourself. Refuse to be put in a position where you are at the mercy of knee-jerk reactions and automatic responses. Remain objective even if you feel that someone is insensitive or obstinate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Imitate a snail’s pace and you won’t fail to win a race. It is much better to head for your objective with a steady effort than to make unplanned or unnecessary changes that could slow you down even further.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Precision can bring you prestige, power and prosperity. Roll up the loose change lying on your dresser and take it to the bank. Your kindness may be appreciated on the job and make a lasting impression on the boss.

IF AUGUST 8 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: For the next two to three weeks you might seem over-confident and this can spoil your chances to curry favor and assistance from others.
