ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Question everyone, including yourself, when it comes to making decisions. If you don’t feel you have a sound plan in place, go back to the drawing board and flesh out your ideas. Collaborate with people who inspire and motivate you. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Live life your way. Not everyone will agree with you, but if you do what you feel is best for you, there will be no regrets. Trust in your ability to be responsible as well as hardworking, and success will be yours. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Do what’s best for you. Take care of your health, appearance and personal preferences before you offer to help someone else get ahead. If anyone overreacts or makes a fuss, back away. You need a little time to yourself. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

How you respond to others will make a difference. If someone is taking advantage of you, be upfront and say so. Do things that bring you joy. Be creative, spend time with youngsters or expand one of your interests. ★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

If someone else is making changes, it doesn’t mean you should follow suit. Protect against being influenced or manipulated into spending money you don’t have or indulging in things that aren’t in your best interest. Personal and home improvements are favored. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You’ve got what it takes to get ahead. Attend a conference or trade show, or collaborate with people who can offer insight into something you want to pursue. Stay focused and let your intuition guide you. A day trip and social event are encouraged. ★★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

A nonjudgmental approach when dealing with others will bring the best results. Try not to let what others do ruin your plans. Do what you can to be helpful, but not at your own expense. Offer love and peace, not controversy. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Make your way to the top. Don’t labor over what you cannot change when you should be focusing on what’s doable. Let your actions speak for you. Show affection and concern, and it will be difficult for others to overreact. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Honesty should be maintained when dealing with people who tend to exaggerate. Speak up if you question someone’s integrity or motivation. Sticking to the truth and making sure everyone else does as well will help you ward off misunderstandings. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Home is your safety zone. Relax or make some alterations that will add to your comfort or bring your family closer together. Positive results will unfold if you are willing to listen and share with the ones you love. ★★★★★

Go over your personal papers and address matters that deal with finances, contracts or medical issues. Physical changes can make you feel good about the way you look and feel. Avoid emotional confrontations. ★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Look for a unique opportunity. Financial gain looks promising. Collect on an old debt or do something nice for someone you love. Giving and taking will be what turn this day into one that’s memorable. Surprise someone with a visit or phone call. ★★★★
