Do the legwork yourself to avoid being put in a vulnerable position. It’s your year to shine, but first, assume the role of a leader, even if you feel like letting others take care of matters for you. Stay on target and in control, and success will be yours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Take nothing for granted. Your success will come from doing for yourself in your own unique way. Dedication and being true to yourself will outmatch anyone who tries to stand in your way.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Gather your thoughts and put your energy into completing your mission. Setting boundaries and maintaining a disciplined attitude will ensure you get things done promptly while deterring outside interference.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Protect your health and physical well-being. Don’t take a risk, let someone lead you astray or allow others to take advantage of you. Put yourself first and say no to anyone infringing on you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Push forward with vim and vigor. Set a good example, and you’ll feel good about yourself and get the respect you deserve. Hard work will pay off, and financial gain looks promising.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Take your time, don’t rush decisions and refuse to let someone’s impatience push you in an uncertain direction. Look for opportunities that feel good and right for you, and stand strong under pressure.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Take the initiative to make your surroundings user-friendly. How you live will affect your attitude and determine how well you get along with others. Let your imagination lead the way.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Participate in an event or activity that interests you, but be wary of anyone using pressure tactics to manipulate your response. Learn from experience and take the path that promotes freedom of choice.
