ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You could attempt to be diplomatic, only to find that your fuse is way too short to do so. Pressure builds when dealing with others who have very different ideas.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • You are even and careful. You could be far more nervous than you realize, as you attempt to juggle different interests.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Good intentions might not carry you as far as you might like, but clear, analytic thinking will. A partnership soars into the limelight. You wonder what is possible as a team.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Deal directly with a child or loved one who keeps tossing the status quo out the window. Detach more, and get past your emotional response.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Zero in on what you want. You could be overwhelmed by all the calls and unexpected requests that seem to come your way. Just know that you need to focus or update your plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Be aware of the cost of an expenditure. You could be overwhelmed by your options, but if you keep looking at all the choices, you might lose the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • You can handle whatever comes down the pike far better than many other people. Your sense of humor and general sense of well-being come into play.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Why wonder which way to go? Understanding becomes possible if you let go of a need to control and structure every single second.
