Aries (March 21-April 19): You and a significant other are both able to take care of your own business, which is good for the relationship.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The win-win solution isn’t always possible. In that case, you’d rather opt out of the whole deal than see another person lose to you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): First, it seemed impossible; then merely daunting. Now that it’s done, you know it’s doable. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): What you’ll eventually be great at the particular task at hand? You won’t know if you don’t start.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There’s room for many to be

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Observe the difference between optimism and foolishness.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You can feel when you’re clicking with someone and when you’re not. But you just have to get in there and meet different people to know.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some people lower their energy level to avoid participating fully in life. Avoid those who wear exhaustion like an armor.
