Take your time. Make choices using reason, facts and research. Be detailed when expressing yourself; leave nothing to someone else’s interpretation. Keep your analysis simple, make your life less complicated and seek out worthwhile connections.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone will take advantage of you if you let them. It’s OK to change your mind or to say no to someone pressuring you. Don’t wait until you are exasperated; if you aren’t interested in someone or something, say no.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A change will lift your spirits and energy levels. It’s time to start something new and to indulge in activities that get you feeling good about how you look and what you have to offer.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Avoid deals or proposals that sound too easy. A reasonable assessment of what’s possible will help you change direction and improve your life. Stick to what you know you can achieve with the skills you have.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Focus on how you look and feel and what you can do, instead of fixating on the impossible. Opportunity depends on you, so don’t look for freebies when input, intelligence and ingenuity are necessary.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pay attention to where every dollar goes. Stay on top of your game and control the outcome of tricky situations. Be honest in affairs of the heart. Speak your truth in a tactful manner.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Socializing and showing interest in what others do will lead to profits. Consider safe investments and avoid emotional spending or involvement in unsound joint ventures.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Let your intuition lead the way and allow your conscience to be your barometer. Consider ways to make your home user-friendly without going into debt. Focus on your comfort and convenience.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Take charge and use your energetic attitude to impress and persuade others to participate in your plans. Stick to the facts and tell the truth if you want to maintain a stellar reputation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Changes to how you do business or handle your affairs will pay off. A change at work or home that raises your income or lowers your overhead will ease stress and encourage you to pursue what makes you happy.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Keep your records updated. Don’t lose sight of what’s on your agenda and how much it costs. Focus on health, well-being and doing the best job possible. Take the initiative and protect your interests.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Set the bar high and use your intellect, experience and intuition to guide you. What you put into your pursuits, you will get back, so don’t be stingy with your time or talents.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Get out, participate, network and gather information to help you get ahead. Connect with people who have as much to contribute as you, and you’ll be privy to unique ideas that will encourage you to reset your goals.
