Exaggerating, taking on too much or overestimating your expectations will hold you back. Use your energy to get things going and to have an impact. Be cognizant of what’s available. Communication is the key; tell it like it is, and you’ll find your way forward.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Play by the rules, look for incentives and put your heart and soul into getting ahead. Nurture relationships that can help you get ahead, and work as a team player to ensure success.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Venture out, but leave your credit cards at home. A fast-talking salesperson will tempt you with unnecessary bargains. Keeping a low profile or going for a hike instead of going to the mall will encourage peace of mind.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Say no to temptation, overspending or being guilted into making a donation that you can’t afford. Curb bad habits and avoid making spur-of-the-moment decisions.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Use your clout and connections. Discuss your plans, get your finances and investments in order, and make positive adjustments to ensure you use your skills in the latest and most extraordinary way.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Reinvent how you want to move forward. It’s time to be true to yourself and to venture down a path that offers self-satisfaction and joy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do what feels right, and don’t look back. Overreacting will get you nowhere fast, but taking a stand and following your heart will soothe your soul. You can make an impact.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You must feel comfortable with what you choose to do, so do things your way. Let your innovative ideas flow and your energy carry you to where you want to be.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Stop sitting on the sidelines and take a stand. It’s on you to turn up the volume and let your voice and actions lead the way. Reunite with someone you miss and love.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Take a moment, rethink your next move and watch to see who does what before you reveal your position. Earmark your objective, but wait for the right time to make your move.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Welcome change instead of hiding. Once you investigate, you’ll see the benefits of keeping up with the times. Invest in yourself and what you want to do next, and doors will open.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Handle partnerships with care. Listen, think before you respond and offer alternatives that provide incentives for everyone. Less drama and more affection will be the way to go.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Fewer demands and more action on your part will pay off. If you want something done, do it yourself. Overreacting will waste time, but concentrating your strengths on what’s meaningful to you will make a difference.
