Own what you do and say. Don’t make promises you cannot keep. Look for the best way to move forward without jeopardizing your reputation or going over budget. Balance, moderation and a simple yet effective route to your destination will be in your best interest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A personal change is best planned to suit your budget as well as your lifestyle. Emotional spending will not make you feel better. Avoid arguments or making unnecessary personal changes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Emotions will be set off easily if you let someone goad you into a debate. Keep your thoughts to yourself and focus on personal improvements, not on trying to

change others.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If someone asks about your personal finances, health or a pending legal matter, be wary of what you reveal. You are best off keeping your business private if you want to avoid interference.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your enthusiasm is best contained. Don’t give anyone the impression that you are willing to take on responsibilities that you don’t have time for. Only offer what you can really handle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Walk away from unpredictable people or parties using emotional tactics to persuade you to get involved in things you find questionable. Indulgent behavior will turn out to be costly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t let your

emotions take the reins when dealing with colleagues or people who could influence your position or status. Overreacting or taking on too much should be avoided.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Emotional spending or accruing too much debt will leave you in a predicament. Look for ways to cut costs instead of adding to them. Someone close to you will make an unusual offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If someone overreacts, walk away. Getting into a dispute over something that is being overblown is a waste of time. Keep your emotions in check and offer love and peace instead of discord.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A solid, steady pace will get you to your destination on time. Look for unique ways to impress someone you love, but don’t let emotional blackmail or jealousy sour a special connection.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Knowing what you want will help you make the right choice. How you go about getting what you desire will require crafty navigation to avoid backlash or financial loss.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Protect your physical and emotional wellness. Know what you are up against and do whatever you must to bypass obstacles and challenges.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You need a pick-me-up. Sign up for something you find exhilarating or update your appearance. Invest more time and effort in yourself and what you want to pursue.
