■ ARIES (March 21-April 19):
You may feel like having fun,
traveling about and socializing
but tidy up loose ends and
focus on business first. You
will get help from someone you
love if you ask. A change in a
business relationship will take
you by surprise. 3 stars
■ TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Take control before someone
else does. You can’t let love
interfere with what needs to be
done. You can get ahead but
only if you are serious, practi
cal and budget-minded. 5 stars

You may feel torn between two
people or two choices. Look
at the long-term effects before
you decide it will be well
worth the effort. There will be
no turning back once you have
made your choice. 2 stars
■ CANCER (June 21-July
22): You can make someone
who needs help feel useful by
including him or 'her in your
preparations. Added responsi
bilities can sometimes be more
of a help than a hindrance if
you handle everyone involved
with dignity. 4 stars

Impulse buying or decisions
will set you back. Be smart,
even if you are torn by emo
tional situations. This is not the
time to play favorites or to be
overly generous. Plan carefully
and stay within your means. 3
stars
■ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
You’ll find it difficult to keep
your emotions out of the situa
tions you face today. Tempers
will escalate if you disagree but
backing down will also lead to
anguish and stress. Find com
mon ground and work your way
to an agreement everyone can
