Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** This morning you're energetic, even impulsive. (Guard against knee-jerk reactions.) Later in the day, explore practical ideas about how to boost your income, or take care of something you own. If shopping late in the day, save your receipts. (Resist going extravagant purchases.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** This morning is a restless time for you. Move slowly and be careful about impulsive ideas and actions. Later in the day, after the Moon enter your sign, you're golden! You'll be strong, patient and willing to put up with discomfort because you have a realistic view of life.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** A friend might surprise you this morning. Or you might be caught off guard in your dealings with a group or an organization? Whatever the case, find a way to relax and "hide" later in the day so that you can chill out. Give yourself permission to play hooky.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** Travel plans might be interrupted this morning. They could be delayed, changed or cancelled. Alternatively, you might have to travel when you didn't expect to do so. Later in the day, make sure you play by the rules so that bosses and people in authority are happy. Nevertheless, you'll be productive.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Make friends with your bank account this morning because something unexpected could impact your assets, or something to do with bills, debt and shared property. Know what's happening. Later in the day, it's an excellent time to make firm plans to travel for the future. Ideas?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** This morning, take a moment to double check details related to your job, your health, and your pet because something unexpected might catch you off guard. Keep your eyes open. Later in the day, a practical discussion with someone close to you might yield practical results that please you.
