ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sometimes you get too ambitious with your promises. Your fortunes will amplifyas you eliminate discrepancies between what you say and what you do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Many try to close deals and make sales, but few will do so as consistently as you. Your secret weapon is that you stick with the winning formula, refusing to veer from it for any reason.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll be among a diverse group of helpful, loquacious people. A quality discussion will ensue. Every opinion will be worth hearing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Silence is a basic need and one that has rarely been met given the demands of your schedule lately. There’s something you need to let go of to make room for silence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There are events that you look forward to, and then there are events, such as dental appointments and the like, that you look forward to being done with. This is the ideal day to put the latter type on the schedule.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You aim to give credit where it’s due. When you’re not sure, you’d rather err on the side of generosity. Be careful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Because you like others to feel comfortable around you, you’ll be tempted to agree with them in word and deed even while inwardly disagreeing. Neutrality would be a better stance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can always make more money, but finding more time is tricky. That’s why time is your most valuable commodity.With this in mind, you may change your approach to a project.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your success depends on specialization. You know what you’re really good at, and it takes too long to learn everything else. Consult the experts, and get quick results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you feel lost, don’t be in too big of a rush to get found. Just because you don’t know where you are doesn’t mean you’re nowhere. Not knowing the name of a place doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
