ARIES (March 21-April 19): New friends could inspire you to try something new. Remain cautious as this may be exciting and refreshing but also expensive and risky. It might be difficult to maintain a savings plan unless you exercise self-discipline.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ask for a rain check and then perform a reality check. You may not have all the facts or be misled by your own wishful thinking. You would be wise to delay or defer important decisions, discussions or meetings.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Speak to your dreams and possibilities. This could be a good time to develop ideas and a more ambitious vision of the future hand in hand with a partner or loved one. Some of your fantasies, however, may be unrealistic.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Remain sensitive to a situation shift. Some people won’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want to have their illusions shattered. You might not be realistic about your financial, career or job status.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your enthusiasm may brim over. If someone or something blocks the way forward it might be a signal that you should wait to implement your plans. Keep your opinions and criticisms to yourself to avoid misunderstandings.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It is logical to be skeptical. Some people who are momentarily dazzled by your skills and attractions may quickly fade from view. However, it is possible that one person you meet will become a lifelong friend.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sacrifice your sensitivities to save the day. You could have grandiose ideas or a loose grasp of the facts. It could be best to give up on an idea or put it on the back burner until things have settled down.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have faith when relationships or situations are in a state of bewildering flux. Many people think they have definitive solutions, but these could be based on limited experience. Take suggestions with a grain of salt.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get your feet back on the ground. Your romantic nature yearns for something above and beyond the ordinary. Your unrealistic expectations may blind you to the faults of others or the drawbacks of plans.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sheer perseverance will keep you going. Unexpected financial demands might put you on edge, but if you plow through the red tape you will come out on the other side stronger and more secure than ever.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Control your ingenuity. You may have a great idea or technological expertise that is ignored. A sound, sensible approach to your position can put the authority others have over your in proper perspective.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Patch things up before they fall apart. The proverbial stitch in time really works. Offer an apology while the time is right before a misunderstanding gets out of hand. Choose to do what is best for your future.
IF JULY 31 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your shrewdness can make you a top contender in the business world during the next four to six weeks. This is a good time to make major purchases of appliances or office equipment and tools.
