Self-improvement is favored. 5 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Mingle, share thoughts and intentions, and listen to suggestions. Uncertainty means you require more insight, research and proof that you are heading down the right path.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Notice what’s happening around you. Get involved in events that grab your interest and encourage you to think before you spend. Generosity can make you feel good about yourself, but it can also lead to stress if you don’t take care of yourself first. 5 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Prioritize detail and research. An offer may sound good, but it needs more substance to lead to success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Research is necessary to avoid mistakes. Don’t act in haste regarding professional decisions, words or actions that can hurt your reputation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be tempted by someone pressuring you to get involved in a joint venture or to spend on something they want more than you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be playing with fire if you let someone infiltrate and disrupt your plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Size up what’s entailed in your plans emotionally, physically and financially before you begin the change process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pay attention to health, fitness and socializing with people who can enrich your life. Don’t let uncertainty set in or cause a lack of self-confidence.
