ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can only be honest with yourself if you can act honorably toward others. Weigh your actions and promises on the scales of what is completely right and fair. Impulsive spending habits should be curbed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might be zapped by an acute case of zippety-do-dah. Your fantasies may fuel fun-filled moments. However, the theory that more is better doesn’t apply to every situation. Try not to overdo, overspend or exaggerate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Investigate and give obvious facts extra weight. Someone might overestimate their abilities or promise more than can be delivered. There is a tendency to go overboard, so tighten your purse strings and remain skeptical.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may have some insights into ways to handle joint resources, but it isn’t a good time to gamble. If you absolutely must spend some extra cash get a second opinion from a reliable and more objective source.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Common sense doesn’t always apply when you dwell on achieving your dreams. You can be so focused on being logical that you miss out on the beautiful. Someone will remind you to stop and smell the roses.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Add it up before you take it up. Carefully think through any financial agreement or business project before you sign on the dotted line. There may be a tendency to jump into new alliances without adequate forethought.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone will appreciate your dedication to a cause, even if the cause is lost. A loved one can help you fill spaces you didn’t even know were empty. When someone fulfills a need keep them in your life forever.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You feel so optimistic and confident that you are ready to tackle anything, even if you don’t have the time or expertise to follow through. Someone’s casual assurances cannot be relied upon and may cause disappointment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Someone can make promises or offer assurances, but results are what really count. Be careful about your bank account as acting on a sudden whim can put your long range financial goals at risk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): History repeats itself. Provide a sample of your track record to earn someone’s confidence and to make more money. Your past provides proof of a reputation for honoring agreements through a high credit score.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A ticket to Fantasy Island might be on your wish list. It may be a good time to dream about romance and riches, but you might want to keep your passport in the drawer and focus on fulfilling your objectives first.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sometimes you can fly by the seat of your pants and sometimes you can’t. Listen when a little voice inside says that an important financial matter should be scrutinized and planned carefully before taking irrevocable steps.

IF AUGUST 3 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: As the next three to four weeks unfold you may be more energetic and competitive than usual. September is the best time to make objective and wise decisions that lead to serenity, profit and financial security.
