Astrograph

You’ll face plenty of obstacles this year if you don’t learn to go with the flow. Organization and preparation will be helpful. Refuse to let surprises lead to disarray. Be smart and do things right the first time. Choose personal improvements over trying to change others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your ideas are interesting, but may not hold water. Make sure you pay attention to every little detail to avoid a costly mistake. Rely on your experience and call in experts when in doubt.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Discuss important matters with discretion. Giving personal information to the wrong person will come back to haunt you. A romantic relationship will take an interesting turn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Lead the pack instead of standing in the background. Speak up, air your views and don’t worry about being opposed by someone jealous of your charisma, confidence and skills.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Live, learn and experience. It’s important not to judge what others do, but to focus on the best way to improve your skills, knowledge and expertise.
