TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Distance yourself from trouble. Look inward, and do what puts your mind at ease.

Participate in an activity that you enjoy, take time out to pamper yourself or update your appearance. 2 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can check things out without making a commitment. Time is on your side, and exploring possibilities will give you a sense of what you can afford as well as what you do and don’t need in your life. It’s out with the old and in with the new. Protect your position, reputation and health. 4 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Speak up, and formulate your plan. Do the legwork and proceed to the finish line.

If it’s too good to be true, it’s probably false. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pay attention to detail, facts and figures. Helping others may make you feel good, but be careful not to let anyone take advantage of your generosity.

Dismiss those who don’t see things your way. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Verify information before passing it along. Someone will offer an inflated assessment of a situation that can cost you or cause regret.
