Aries (March 21-April 19): Reckless is as reckless does. Restrain an impulsive desire to win at all costs, especially if your opponent is a family member. Your best bet is to stick to regular routines and exercise self-discipline. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Sit tight. Wait until the timing is better to put your ideas into action. Get in touch with the latest trends by hobnobbing with acquaintances or volunteering to help out with local fundraisers. Gemini (May 21-June 20): Keep an eye on the bottom line. Your bank balance may need to be guarded like Fort Knox. Sudden emergencies, family necessities or your own personal whims might put a dent into savings.
