ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more time you waste pondering over what you want to do and what you have to do, the less time you will have to enjoy yourself. Someone will try to take advantage of your confused state of mind and bully you into taking on responsibilities that do not belong to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Concentrate on what you have to do. Getting upset or angry with someone will be nonproductive. A look at your future prospects and how you can implement one of your talents to make some extra cash should be your focus. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Refrain from making a move or saying something you will live to regret. A promise made will leave you in a predicament that will not be easy to deal with. Talk to the people who love and care about you for insight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have almost everyone on your side but be aware that someone is watching your every move. Cover your back by sticking to facts. Lashing back will lead to a scene and a loss of a friendship. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can have fun without breaking the bank. Don’t spend on frivolous items to please someone you love. You mustn’t let anyone use you. Offer your company, not your wallet and you’ll find out who’s on your team and who isn’t. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An eco-friendly approach to life will bring you popularity and new friendships. Don’t take a risk because someone challenges you. You are smarter and can do much better sticking to your own game plan.
