Change can be good, as long as you don’t use force to get what you want. Rely on experience and the people you know you can count on to help you overcome any obstacles this year. Maintain balance and integrity, and avoid excess and anger. Love begins within.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Do what feels right and works best for you. Rely on experience to guide you into the future. Accept the inevitable and reject bullies and manipulators.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Making a change for the wrong reason can turn out to be costly. Do your homework and don’t rely on what someone else tells you. Follow your path, not someone else’s.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’ll be tempted to make rash decisions or take an unpredictable path. If you focus more on self-improvement and how you can best serve others, you will bypass criticism and complaints.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Look for opportunities, but don’t take action hastily. Moderate investing will help keep you out of financial crisis. A partnership will have both a negative and positive influence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Emotional mistakes can be avoided if you are practical. Levelheaded decisions will give you a clear passage to pursue worthwhile goals. Personal growth, proper diet and exercise are encouraged.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A persuasive offer or joint venture will not be as awesome as you anticipate. Use your intelligence and gather knowledge that will help you take care of business on your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An unexpected change will leave you wondering what to do next. Don’t act in haste. Wait for emotions to soften. Offer comfort and understanding, but don’t meddle or interfere.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Keep your emotions well hidden. Listen carefully and reveal little. If you show your vulnerability, you will end up being taken for granted. Protect your heart, health and feelings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An emotional stalemate will occur if you decide to battle someone who doesn’t share your opinion or want to make the same changes as you. Be prepared to walk away.
