ARIES (March 21-April 19) Get involved in activities that are challenging but satisfying. Too much of anything or anyone will leave you feeling frustrated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Problems with partnerships will surface if you let your emotions override common sense. Listen carefully and deduce what your best course of action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be careful when dealing with joint ventures. Don’t offer money to make an impression. Simple pleasures will be just as effective when trying to impress others.
