ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more time you waste pondering over what you want to do and what you have to do, the less time you will have to enjoy yourself. Someone will try to take advantage of your confused state of mind and bully you into taking on responsibilities that do not belong to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Concentrate on what you have to do. Getting upset or angry with someone will be nonproductive. A look at your future prospects and how you can implement one of your talents to make some extra cash should be your focus. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Refrain from making a move or saying something you will live to regret. A promise made will leave you in a predicament that will not be easy to deal with. Talk to the people who love and care about you for insight. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may not be up for any personal changes but, in the end, whatever comes your way will be to your advantage. A little renovation, redecorating or even a residential move will help you emotionally, financially and professionally.
