CANCER (June 21-July 22)
A little charm will carry you a long way when dealing with personal situations and people you want to keep by your side.

Take a disciplined approach to learning, using your skills and outmaneuvering anyone who challenges you. Opportunities are apparent, but obstacles exist. Choosing the right path, people and prospects will be difficult if you believe everything you hear. The power of persuasion will capture your attention if you aren’t careful, putting you in a vulnerable position. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
An open mind will lead to seminars, documentaries and conversations with informative people who spark your imagination and encourage you to go on a learning expedition.

Romance is highlighted. 4 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Stick to what and who you know. If you venture off course, you’ll encounter emotionally manipulative people. Your best opportunities will come from being self-serving, not counting on others to do things for you. Put your energy into self-preservation, eating properly and exercising. An emotional problem is apparent if you hang out with the wrong people. 2 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Take note where your money goes. Don’t feel you have to pay for others’ entertainment or mistakes. Let your income reflect your lifestyle.

When opportunity knocks, be sure to open the door. 3 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
