poor house. Forget about doing
everything on a large scale. 2

■ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Don’t listen to someone who
wants you to spend more than

by the rules and you follow your
original plan. Added security will
ease stress. 5 stars

SOLUTION
Question any partnership that is
holding you hostage in one thing
or another. Freedom to come
and go as you please will make
the difference in how far you can
get in the shortest amount of
time. A new venture will lead to
new friendships. 3 stars
■ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Helping others evolve into who
and what they are supposed
to be is the first step to grant
ing and getting freedom. You
will benefit far more if you are
open and supportive. A chance
to come into money looks good.
