Staying focused on what you want to accomplish will be necessary this year. Change can be good, but only if it’s carefully considered and precisely executed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Emotions will push you in a direction that could lead to uncertainty. Consider the consequences should things not go as planned. Taking a risk will leave you vulnerable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Look for professional alternatives that will encourage a better use of your experience and allow you to learn something new. An ambitious attitude will bring good results.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20): Assess your financial situation and consider your job prospects. Having a plan will help you stay on track as the year unfolds. Offering favors will boost your popularity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hold on to your money, job and stability by doing what’s expected of you and carrying out your own plans. Intelligence and common sense will be required.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be careful how you handle domestic matters. Someone may not see things the same way you do. Be willing to compromise and to listen to wise advice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be careful not to go overboard. You can have fun and be moderate at the same time. Emotional incidents will surface if you are too aggressive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Distress will kick in if you let someone take advantage of you emotionally. Avoid being indulgent or overspending on items you don’t need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Emotions can make people do foolish things. Don’t make a hasty decision, or you will end up having regrets. This is not the time to burn bridges.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Take a step back to avoid getting into an emotional feud. Too much of anything will come back to bite you. Keep your life simple.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Taking care of other people’s business will be draining. Don’t make promises you cannot keep or get involved in something you aren’t fully capable of handling.
