ARIES (March 21-April 19): In a dither over progress toward realizing your vision of how things “ought to be,” you could throw good money after bad. Pass up unnecessary expenditures this weekend.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): While rushing ahead under full steam to get things accomplished, you may step on a few toes along the way. Misunderstandings are possible with your partners, so avoid confrontations.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Smiling faces don’t always indicate friendship. Some people are only being pleasant to earn your business or because that’s the way they “grease the wheel.” Become more discriminating.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take requests for sympathy with extra grains of salt. Those you’re thrown in contact with might not be totally truthful. Check and re-check the facts, as it’s possible to make an error.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Relax while you can because many tasks loom ahead. Be generous and sympathetic with others and guard against a tendency to be too humble. Cherish key connections and solidify trust.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Painting a much too glamorous picture of your financial situation or hiding the truth could create confusion. Happy relationships are important to you this weekend, but you could be too idealistic.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is poor for starting a new relationship, but tried and true companions could delight you with their fanciful plans for fooling around. For romantic escapes, try dancing or outdoor pursuits.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be realistic. You can’t start a new project until you’ve resolved issues from the past that are blocking the way. A significant other may have an ingenious solution to a mental puzzle.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You don’t need to be a doormat to open the door. Put your reservations aside and trust a little bit. You can enjoy intimate moments with your romantic partner if you sidestep suspicions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Think things through carefully before you act. When reading between the lines, you may see something that’s not there. A mistake made now could set the stage for enormous extra effort later.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be the best you can be. You may want to start a new diet or exercise program. Physical exercise and healthy eating habits may become new interests for someone special in your life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Harmony will reign if you listen with your heart, as well as your ears. Follow your intuition if a decision must be made. What’s going on behind the scenes may work to your advantage.
IF JUNE 28 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You can relax and enjoy peace of mind over the next several months. This is a fabulous time to boost your health by launching new diet strategies or to reviving childhood interests. Whatever you put into motion during the next 48 weeks could become permanent. August is a month to employ your street smarts and shrewdness to make headway with your career or finalize financial plans. You will shine brightly in September if placed in leadership roles, and can safely launch your most treasured plans. You might even receive the answer to a sincere prayer.
