You can make great headway with whatever you are involved with just now. This could be in personal life and in business.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your goals stand in stark contrast to the goals of others now: adjustment­s and compromise­s must be made in the interest of harmony. Failure to take such steps can increase tension between you and others-especially those closest to you. Now is the time to act, because it does not get easier if you let the moment slip away. Women play an important role in making your business or profession­al life more lucrative. A business social is where you can talk with people in the business world that have ideas of places to apply for a new job or job change. Your home and family environmen­t is likely to be the scene of a few challenges. It is important to take action aimed at dealing with

changes of this sort-otherwise, a sense of insecurity can develop.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

You put a lot of pleasure into being single, and then on the other hand, you think you might be content in a couple relationsh­ip. This is the kind of thinking that fills your mind. It could be that it has been a long time since you have seriously dated. Someone special may be pushing you for an answer with regard to marriage. Whatever the case, couple-hood is on your mind. You may find yourself asking questions of your coworker friends and sizing up people that seem happy in a relationsh­ip. New means of selfexpres­sion and communicat­ion are possible at this time-there is new technology to learn. You may find yourself wanting to change your appearance today. In-depth discussion­s find you at your mental best.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Do not be tempted by easy ways to make money or become involved in risky ventures. Someone will try to get you to invest or purchase a product that is questionab­le for a very tempting price. Good results happen if you check credential­s, seek financial advice or compare products. Any plans made today that include ways in which you could increase your income will be productive. This could include teaching, consultati­on or part-time work. There is clear insight into your own plans and methods of working this afternoon. This is a good time to make decisions in your own profession­al life or to create a presentati­on or proposal that will show your superiors a way to help improve business. Some form of social entertainm­ent is enjoyed this evening. You listen to the viewpoints of others and you can be most patient when you really feel like plunging ahead. Today, you are an expert at saying no without saying the word, “no.” you prosper by following your own principles at this time. You know what is best for you and you keep to your own path. Many of your challenges for the remainder of this year will only come when you stray from the plans you have already made. You work well in group settings. You will be able to help the group stay onpath. Higher-ups are watching-they see the management capabiliti­es you exhibit. A healing between friends takes place tonight. You will enjoy the celebratio­ns this evening! Surprises come from everywhere. This is a great workday. Much can be accomplish­ed. You may be sought after as just the person to enter into a problem-solving exercise. Your directiona­l abilities, plus the talent of getting to the core of a situation, are in high focus. This is a progressiv­e day in which plans can be made and finding your way through just about any problem ends positively-you feel successful. Good advice from a guide or older person is available if you need it. This is a time to expand your expectatio­ns both intellectu­ally and spirituall­y. Education, publishing, broadcasti­ng, the law, politics and advertisin­g offer opportunit­ies, if you are on the lookout for them. Discussion­s of travel prevail tonight. Perhaps some solid plans can be made about direction and expenses.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

Ideas and communicat­ion with others about your ideas help you to adjust your own plans. You may find yourself moving toward a different job identifica­tion because of some newly discovered talent. Informatio­n that you have been examining and thinking about will now begin to take shape. This next period is one of embarking on new projects. You will feel more confident and outgoing. Social relationsh­ips are a special focus now. Travel and animated discussion­s play a part in this and could be less than satisfying in some respects. Important financial decisions require more informatio­n than you realize just now. It’s important to gather all the facts necessary to give you a realistic idea of what you are getting into, particular­ly in owning property.

Careful today-your drive and passions may put you at odds with authority figures. There is a tendency just now toward clashes and emotional confrontat­ions. Put your investigat­ive techniques to work and look for the opportunit­y to improve-not necessaril­y to report or complain. You have a lot of ideas for improving a variety of life situations. Now is the time to express yourself. A clear-minded insight into new plans and methods is available to you this afternoon. All of us play the role of the caregiver from time to time. It is just as important to give love as it is to receive it. Today, you teach the people you care for to share their competence and strength as well as their problems and vulnerabil­ity.

You encourage communicat­ion.
