Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Standing alone isn’t necessary, but knowing how to pick your allies is. Walk away from those who lead you astray. Focus on expanding your vision through learning from and communicating with people.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is not the time to engage in arguments or to let anyone test your patience. While working diligently to declutter your life, take a long, hard look at how you want to direct your energy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Strengthen your ties with the people who matter to you. Refrain from letting emotional situations control your mind. Put yourself and your needs first.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): You’ll meet with opposition. Refuse to let anyone put you in a vulnerable position. Saying yes when you know you should decline will cause tension between you and your loved ones.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Raise the bar and study how to outmaneuver any competitor. You have the edge to get ahead if you are willing to step outside the norm. Use the element of surprise to your advantage.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Look at trends and consider modifying how you present yourself. Updating your skills or qualifications and taking a heartfelt approach to handling money, emotions and health matters will make a difference.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Note who’s watching from the sidelines. You want to send the right impression. Stick to facts and figures, and call on experts when necessary to avoid sticky situations.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Think big, but budget wisely. How you handle matters will be important. You don’t have to impress anyone; enforcing moderation, insight and ingenuity will give you the wiggle room you need.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Change will beckon, but before making a move, determine if your decisions are coming from a place of emotion or reason. Socialize, communicate, pick experts’ brains and think about what’s best and right for you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Work toward a goal, but don’t take shortcuts. A domestic problem will spin out of control if it becomes impossible to find common ground with the people you’re dealing with.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The opportunity to get ahead is within reach. Put your energy into partnerships, your home environment and how you earn your living. Protect yourself against injury and health risks.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Be open with your allies and secretive with those prying into your affairs. Look for alternatives that you can quickly implement if the going gets tough.
