If you let situations escalate into battles, you will deplete your energy and fall behind. Don’t allow negativity to eat away at you; if you direct your energy wisely, success will be your best revenge. Let go of what’s holding you back and embrace what has meaning to you, and everything else will fall into place.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You know the drill, so stop procrastinating and implement something. Embrace a challenge instead of running away. Use intelligence, experience and facts, not force, to win.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Distance yourself from anyone applying pressure or trying to dictate what you do next. Use your intelligence, rely on your memory and exercise your rights. Financial gain looks promising.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Sorrow will prevail if you give someone the benefit of the doubt. Don’t misread intentions or let someone exploit you. It would help if you put yourself first.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your emotions in check and be willing to listen to and observe what’s happening around you. Knowledge is the best way forward. A change of scenery will be enlightening.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): You may relish something new and exciting, but, for now, living with what you have will save you time, money and stress. The best change will come from within, not from outside influences.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Simplify your plans, lifestyle and habits to fit your budget and emotional well-being. Direct your energy into something meaningful and use your time deliberately to ensure that you reduce stress.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Make a point to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. Participating in an event or activity that requires courage will build confidence. Expand your vision, awareness and possibilities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Use your emotions to your benefit. Follow your heart and let your intuition lead the way. Talk to individuals who offer insight and support and who value your opinion.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Address any restrictions you encounter and go about your business. Clearing the path before you start your journey will encourage others to trust and believe in you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): How you treat others will determine what’s to come. A positive attitude will help you cut to the chase and incorporate your dreams with the support you require to be successful.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Look for opportunities and then chase them. There is no time to waste or reason to dawdle. Actions speak louder than words and will have a more significant impact on your day.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Implement a plan. A change will give you a new lease on life and encourage you to rethink your dreams. It’s time to direct your time and energy into what matters to you most.
