YOUR STARS

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do what you can to help out, but don't take on responsibilities you don't have time for because someone is pressuring you. Know your strengths and weaknesses before you participate in a joint endeavor. Avoid emotional manipulation. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Snap decisions will lead to regret. Gauge a personal situation before you jump in and take a risk. Someone is likely to disappoint you if you assume you have his or her support. Work alone, and do what needs to be done. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put more energy into perfecting your skills and looking for a new way to put them to good use. If you branch out, you'll discover you have more options than you realize. A youngster will offer insight through an innocent remark. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Open up about what you want. The best way to resolve an emotional issue is to discuss your feelings and offer suggestions. Working with the people you deal with daily is your best alternative. Personal improvements are favored. 2 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Productivity will lead to praise and good fortune. Being excessive will lead to loss and added stress. You can put in the time and do things right, or you can choose to overspend and hire an outsider. 4 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Information will change the way you think and what you do next. Listen to an expert and apply the knowledge you receive to what's going on in your personal life and your relationships with others. You will make better choices. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Control your emotions when dealing with personal financial matters.
