AsMarch 21- April 19

It is easy to be swept away by

the tide of rumor & speculation,but making sense of what isgoing on requires a resolute de-termination to stick to the facts,if you can.

CancerJune 21 -July 22

Your sense of being well

looked-after is not entirely mis-placed but you have to makeefforts & contribution to yourwelfare and that of the othersin your circle or company.

LaSept 23 -Oct 22

Your optimistic view of the nearfuture could see you open to be-lieving in fanciful ideas. Keep fo-cused on what is there in front ofyou right now, the future will thentake care of itself.

CapricornDec 22 -Jan 19

what you hope you are seeing.

VgoAug 23 -Sept 22

Your sense that you are aboutto receive the benefits of op-portunity needs to be rein-forced with preparations. Youcan only build true when youprepared the ground well.

SagittariusNov 22 -Dec 21

Partners are going to make allthe right noises and promises,but it is better to have a bird inthe hand rather than two in thebush. Not all that is in the mix is

going to be delivered.

PscsFeb 19 -Mar 20

You begin to count your bless-ings . It's a good time to takestock and work out your nextmoves. Avoid taking on morecommitments that you can af-

ford.

GeminiMay 21 -June 20

You are feeling optimistic about

how plans will proceed. Re-member: not all the promisesmade to you by partners arelikely to be met, at least not onterms that you will benefit from.

TaurusApril 20 -May 20

Your estimation of the re-

sources you have to call uponcould see you get into seriousspending almost by default asyou refuse to be realistic orpatient. Give it time.

LoJuly 23 -Aug 22

You could feel that you're mov-ing in priviliged circles, makingyou feel invulnerable to upsets.It could be a temptation to takeunrealistic gambles rather thanto play it safe.

ScorpioOct. 23 -Nov 21

You have the feeling you willreceive a pay-off for previousefforts. Even if this true, it isstill be necesary to not take onmore in spending commit-ments than you can afford.

AquariusJan 20 -Feb 18

You enjoy rich & rewarding re-lationships that are beginning tohappen. Hold off taking gam-bles on successful outcomes,not until more water has flowed

under the bridge.
