ARIES (March 21-April 19): Follow your heart at whatever cost. You could feel in control and all powerful, but might step on the wrong toes. Don’t give in to the urge to retaliate if you think your good nature is being abused.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are bighearted and can accept conflicts with a philosophical and charitable attitude. Wait for better timing to decide how to handle any financial opportunities that crop up. All that glitters isn’t gold.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may have sensed some crosscurrents. This is the time to resolve issues by talking them through. Poor judgment could be the basis of problems and if you speak your mind, you will get positive results.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Wrap it up, even if it isn’t a present. There is a new moon tomorrow -- and as a Cancer, you are sometimes sensitive to lunar cycles. You might be aware of a shift of focus that begins tomorrow.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose. Something that looks like a good business move today could become a major headache tomorrow. Sit tight and allow friends to tell you their troubles.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Early in the day, you may feel that you are the target of unfair criticism or battle to cope with a heavy workload and little appreciation. As the day unfolds, however, your spirits should perk up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sort out any inner confusion and the correct outer actions will be clear -- unusual solutions could do the trick. Stick to the high road today in all situations, as any forays into gray areas could bring disaster.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Finish your projects with a special flair. You have concrete practical energy to tap into for anything that requires creative genius and extra physical prowess where your love life is concerned.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There is a new moon in your sign tomorrow. This can represent a fresh start or just a shift in your consciousness. Perhaps holiday preparations become the center of your world for a few weeks.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Give a little to get a lot. You will find that you need to locate a common denominator to reach a compromise. Use sound judgment and generosity when discussing major issues.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Calm as a sleeping kitten. Apply your own special brand of finesse to smooth and soothe frayed nerves. Your gentle ways and sympathetic manner may be in high demand at the workplace or at home.
PISCES (Feb.19-March20): You need n’t be meek to turn the other cheek. Sometimes silence in the face of tastelessness is the best response. Do not allow yourself to become involved with those who spread gossip or rumors.
IF DECEMBER 12 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Many concerns are finally behind you, so it is time to relax and enjoy contacts with new friends. Holiday events give you additional opportunities to interact in group settings. In the coming year, your instincts about finances, job, and business might be off base. Wait until late March to put your ideas into motion or to launch major enterprises. You may even reap rewards for your hard work and Lady Luck will be in your corner so accept opportunities. The improvements made could be permanent. In August, you can build resources, make savvy business and financial decisions and plan for a fun-filled vacation in September.
