Your numbers are 2, 9, 17, 24, 36, 42, 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Decline any invitation, dare or manipulative tactic being used to get you to take on responsibilities that aren’t yours. Refrain from becoming involved in something that is not based on sound judgment. Do what’s right and what brings you the most comfort. 4 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you need a break, take one. Look at the broader picture before you decide to get into a discussion with someone who will never see things your way. Figure out what you want, and adjust your life accordingly. 5 stars
