Take charge and use intelligence to navigate your way forward. Being prepared and informed and remaining calm will contribute to your success this year. Personally handle all matters that reflect what you believe in or who you are. Small changes that lead to personal growth will soothe your soul.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Deal with whatever stands in your way. Sticking to your schedule and flying under the radar will keep outside influences at bay, giving you full rein to complete whatever mission you pursue. Keep a low profile.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Precious “me time” will help you chill while putting things in perspective. Taking on the world’s weight will lead to nothing good. Put your energy toward personal prosperity.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Listen and observe, but avoid choices based on fear of failing to please others or gain acceptance. Discipline is necessary. Focus on committing to what’s best for you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Raise the bar instead of lowering expectations. Travel to places that make you think or that physically challenge you, and you’ll gain insight into what’s possible.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Conflicts will arise over joint ventures or shared expenses. A professional change or promotion requires your attention. You’ll miss an opportunity if you allow someone’s complaints or demands to interfere.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Keep an open mind, learn all you can and channel your energy into lifestyle changes. Forming a partnership or working with someone trying to reach similar goals will enhance your life.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Challenge yourself physically. A competitive attitude will help you build enthusiasm and complete what you set out to do. A networking event will offer a platform to market yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Gear up and be ready for positive change. An opportunity is apparent, but it’s up to you to dig in and make things happen. Physical and intellectual gains will raise your profile and increase your options.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A diversion will help point your mind in a positive direction. Revisit your plans and commit to follow through with your intentions. Pursue something that gets you moving.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Set time aside for midweek socializing, a fitness extravaganza or family outings. An investment opportunity or lowering your overhead will help reduce stress.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Take time to crunch the numbers and sort out hidden costs, and set a realistic budget. Prioritize personal gain, independence and taking care of yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Step into the spotlight. Keep the momentum flowing and your sights on your goal. Dedicate time to honing your skills, budgeting for your plans and letting others know how you feel.
