This year life presents some challenges, especially when dealing with finances. You tend to be more carefree, whereas a partner or loved one seems to be more frugal. Try to see where others are coming from more often. If you are single, someone you meet could be emotionally unavailable. You cannot change this person, so just move on. If you are attached, try to avoid conflicts over money. You and your sweetie might want to consider getting separate bank accounts. VIRGO encourages you to think outside the box.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might not know how hard you need to push to get your way. Recognize your limits as well as others’. A friend could push to spend time with you, which is likely to cause a problem with a loved one. Say “no” if doing so would do more damage than good. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

One-on-one relating takes you down a new path of understanding. A financial matter might stand in your way and could prevent you from achieving the long-term connection you desire. Deal with this issue ASAP. Tonight: Avoid talking shop, for everyone’s sake.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
