ARIES
(March 21-April 19)

TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Today is a mixed bag. It’s a good day to get things done through teamwork. It’s also a great day to travel, make travel plans or explore legal matters.

CANCER
(June 21-July 22)

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
This is a poor day for important financial decisions. Admittedly, you’re tempted to spend money on beautiful things that have a strong emotional appeal to you. But, be smart. Don’t do it. Wait a day or two to see if you still feel the same way. However, stay busy. Meet friends for coffee, lunch or dinner. Stay in touch! Tonight: Don’t shop.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
This is a great day to schmooze with others and network with friends and groups. In fact, you will get a lot done. People will be positive. Nevertheless, someone might not be honest with you. This could be because they are genuinely confused. Or it could be deception. Tonight: Schmooze.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
