ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rise above topsy-turvy thoughts. Don’t let a nagging feeling that something new might be more exciting change your plans or disrupt your day. Ignore the line drawn in the sand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your hectic schedule leaves little time for social activities. You might find that you can mix business with pleasure. You might receive an enthusiastic reception from a new friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take a fresh look at permanent fixtures in your life. Inadequacies or errors have been pointed out and now you have the time and the inclination to fix them. Make executive decisions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take the road marked peace and happiness. Let your intuitions and instincts guide you. If you listen to those who have your best interests at heart you can find ways to solve a dilemma.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Try a friendly talk. You want to be in complete control of a situation but someone who is turning out to be a loose cannon could try your patience. Talk it over and present your point of view.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You show your fortitude when challenged by rules, regulations, and career ambitions. The gentler, kinder inner you is just waiting for the right opportunity to express moral and spiritual values.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pay the piper. You can set things right by making amends if you have broken the rules. This could be a providential time to ask for financial advice or to make sound long-term investments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might splurge when resources merge. Your credit card may become warm to the touch as you buy gifts or goodies to please a mate. It is admirable to share with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A discussion can restore basic harmony. Speak from your heart because someone may need to hear what you say. Your deft touch can easily turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Insist on persistence. To bolster your reputation, you might be tempted to promise too much, cover up your mistakes or try something new. Don’t try to outdo the competition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Flirtations are fine but don’t become distracted by a pretty face. You can charm an adversary into cooperating with you. Put your shrewdest financial plans into play when possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Live your values out loud. Your idealism can be demonstrated in many ways, especially if you open up and share your thoughts. Stick to solid standards to easily attain your key goals.

IF JULY 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next six to eight weeks you are inspired to reach for material success and achieving your ambitions could be of prime importance. In August, however, because you tend to look only at the surface appearance you could be fooled by an enticing offer or be distracted by a romantic mirage. Wait until early October to make major business, romantic, or financial decisions and everything will turn out as planned. Your judgement will be at its best and only those who have your best interests at heart will be close. Accept any opportunity that lands in your lap in October as it might lead to great success materially as well as spiritually.
