You can gain ground if you discuss your intentions, feelings and plans for the future. A reunion will help you head into the next year with greater foresight and discipline.

TAURUS (April 20-May

20): Keep business and pleasure separate. Sharing your personal life with your colleagues or peers will give them access to your vulnerabilities. Listen and gather information.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Don’t get angry when you should get moving. Take control and do whatever it takes to redirect attention in order to avoid a bad situation. Protect your passwords and other important personal information.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

When it comes to money, personal matters and contractual dealings, it is best to remain quiet and be willing to listen. Gather the information you require to make a good decision and negotiate on your own behalf.

will help you come up with options that can help you avoid future travails.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.

19): Work alone. Completing what needs to be done before the year comes to a close will ease your mind. Don’t trust someone else to take care of anything that’s important to you. An assumption made
