YESTERDAY’S CRYPTOQUOTE: EACH OF US IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING AND TO EVERY HUMAN BEING. — SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

People mean well more often than not. Avoid misunderstandings by doing your best to remember who is talking and what they may actually mean.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The world may be telling you who to be or how things should be done. Great people and worthy deeds are not created with a cookie cutter; remain yourself as often as you can.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Try not to take investment advice from people who do not have the greatest financial history. Do as much research as you can to get the best results. Take care of current obligations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Traits that can be charming in childhood might not be as helpful in adulthood. You may be required to prove your abilities with credentials or be asked to increase your skill set on demand to find success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Breaking promises may mean there could be fewer people there to catch you if you should fall. Avoid playing mind games and you can rally a loyal fan base to your causes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could find yourself surrounded by people brimming with ideas to improve efficiency that may not be possible once beyond the brainstorming stage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Give your ideas a once over and examine the longterm consequences before a final decision. Will you still be happy with your choice in 10 years, or grow to regret them?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A coworker might realize they need assistance, and you could be the one who could help them remember the steps they have forgotten.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

There is no shame in accepting help if you need it. Even the most skilled and highly trained professionals could have a subject that escapes them. You can be the one who helps others succeed as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Recognize your value and the rewards you rightly deserve. In school, you may have received gold stars from the teacher but now you are old enough to earn and display your own stickers on your lapel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It may be time to pay attention to practical advice from a loyal friend you have been ignoring. Give your finances a look over and work toward balancing your books to build your savings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

True courage is being afraid of something but doing it anyway. You can hide the butterflies in your stomach when you ask important questions.
