Taurus: Try to keep your attentions focused on purposeful plans. Keep an eye on your finances and avoid making large investments or major purchases for now.

Aquarius: You may be willing to focus on all work and no play. Your ambitions may be at a high point, perhaps because you feel the crunch of having more expenses than income. Follow any rules to avoid possible disapproval.

Pisces: Having a good relationship with the people you meet could be like petting porcupines. You may need leather gauntlets rather than kid gloves to manage some relationship issues.
