ARIES (March 21-April 19): Simplify your life. Less baggage means spending more time with those you love and doing what you enjoy. It’s up to you to make the physical changes yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep moving. Idle time is the enemy. Shared expenses will cause problems if you cannot agree on a split or what’s worthwhile and what isn’t.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Size up your current routine and how it affects your life. A balance between work and play is necessary for your vitality and attitude.

Don’t waste time building someone else’s dream when you have your heart’s desire to fulfill. 4 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be creative, step outside your comfort zone and see what’s new and exciting. It’s time to expand your awareness, friendships and direction to satisfy your needs and to build a life you desire. Personal growth, partnerships and new beginnings will lead to opportunity and a unique lifestyle. 4 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Refuse to get sucked into something that means more to someone else than it does to you. You may crave change, but first, you must deal with emotional baggage. Ask yourself if you are running toward or away from something or someone. Get your feelings and emotions in check before you implement change. 2 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The sky is the limit. Jump into action; wheel and deal until you are satisfied with the outcome. Domestic improvements will improve your day if you are willing to meet in the middle and work something out with the people who mean the most to you. Opportunity knocks, and romance is looming. 5 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): List what’s working and what isn’t. A challenge will diminish by tweaking your lifestyle, surroundings and the boundaries you set with those who influence your decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Address personal finances, how you earn your living, your overhead and ways to combat excess and ease stress. Put a cap on spending and consider how to use your skills to implement additional income. Get those you love onboard or socialize; you’ll attract someone who wants to share expenses with you. 3 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mingle, network and meet and greet, but refuse to let anyone talk you into something you don’t need or want.
