Kick off your shoes, get ready to live in the moment and enjoy what life offers. Let your creative mind wander and your desire for change lead you in a direction that provides excitement, fantasy and a path to emotional bliss. Be passionate and embrace the future with vim and vigor.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You owe it to yourself to do what’s best for you. Acknowledge what others ask for and offer suggestions, but refuse to take on problems that don’t belong to you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Your ability to pull things together will mesmerize onlookers. Someone in need of assistance will seek you out. A new look will boost your confidence.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): A conversation will leave you questioning the choices you make. Don’t believe everything you hear or think the grass is greener elsewhere. Change only what’s necessary and avoid debt and stress.
