ARIES (March 21-April 19): Loved ones could be meticulous and passionate. They will expect you to be supportive and dependable. This isn’t the time to make impulsive changes or to spring surprises on anyone as your ideas may backfire.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Lazy bees won’t have any honey to show for their efforts. Just because there is some unexpected free time on your hands is no reason to slack off. Find ways to occupy your time that help you reach long term goals.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A candid discussion and a sympathetic ear could yield surprising results. The most practical solution to a nagging problem could come from an impractical source. Dig deeper rather than accepting something at face value.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): When you slip on a banana peel everyone laughs, but it may still hurt. Avoid pratfalls by staying out of the limelight and passing up a chance to hook up with a new romantic partner. Focus on serious financial matters.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t jump to nab the first thing that comes your way. All the best fables mention three wishes, three magic words, or three tests that must be passed to reach the prize. You may have another chance for something better.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could be too frisky and frivolous to fulfill your fantasies. Any attempt to save money or cut corners might be viewed with suspicion. Mixing business with pleasure at this point could create a serious mix up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might think it is a good day for a break up, but you may soon change your mind and want to make up. Someone close might not live up to a commitment or put you in a position to condemn or criticize their actions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you are raring to go, it is a good idea to choose a worthy destination and go in style. You could choose to become intensely engaged in a creative project that expresses exactly who you are and what you believe.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid playing a game of rock, paper and scissors with your future. A tendency to trust to luck or take unnecessary risks could easily cause someone to doubt the depth of your beliefs or your sincerity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on catching up and getting ahead. You can handle everything on your work list by multi-tasking. You could become impatient with someone’s take-things-for-granted attitude or conclusion-jumping words.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put it in perspective. You might meet people who are experts in their field but clueless in other areas. You may be challenged to deal with someone who suffers from an exaggerated sense of their own importance.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. You can relax and enjoy feeling good about yourself in the days ahead, but it might be wise to not let all self-discipline slip out of your grasp.
IF AUGUST 2 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: For the next four to five weeks you may ride high on a wave of smart tactical strategies, so this is a good time to meet new people,
