Think outside the box. 3 stars

     TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone will put you in a vulnerable position if you let your emotions surface.

Your numbers are 7, 12, 22, 25, 31, 36, 48.

     ARIES (March 21-April 19): Emotions, overindulgence and social settings can lead to arguments. Don’t mix business with pleasure. Being honest is honorable, but there’s a time and place for it.

Sometimes kindness and understanding are the better choices. 3 stars

     TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take hold of your feelings before you go out the door. You’ll tend to overreact today, offering bold and brazen opinions to those you encounter.

     GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pick up the pieces and put them back together the way you want them to be. Stop letting negativity and upset take over when practicality and common sense are necessary. Put your energy into smoothing out any rough edges in your personal life and to focus on what’s truly important to you. A positive move will make a difference. 4 stars

     CANCER (June 21-July 22): Tread lightly when dealing with others. Stick to the facts, offer kindness and understanding, and keep an open mind when listening to others, and if that’s too difficult, look inward and do a little self-help work. Sometimes taking care of your own issues first helps you feel more compassionate toward others. Now is not the time to burn bridges. 2 stars

     LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stretch your imagination, learn from your mistakes and turn your ideas into a reality. Place your energy where it has the most value.

Choose your words wisely and your actions with restraint. 5 stars

     VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A change may tempt you, but before you make a move, take a closer look at what you might lose. Reach out to someone you trust to tell you the truth and suggest alternatives. Patience is necessary if you want to avoid backtracking, and too much of anything will be your downfall. Keep your life simple and actions doable, and maintain a positive mindset. 3 stars

     LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be pulled in different directions, all of which need consideration. Partnerships, routine and schedules will require fine-tuning and a lifeline of their own. Don’t neglect what’s right in front of you — the friends, family and associates looking to you for answers. If you let your mind wander, you’ll find the words to defuse fury. 3 stars

     SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Brainpower is your weapon. Size up situations and think matters through.

Invest more time and money in upgrading your skills and qualifications and connecting with people who can help you get ahead. Refuse to let minor setbacks and competition derail your plans or your position. Focus on the here and now and the best way to get what you want. 2 stars

     AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you want control, be prepared to follow through. Opportunities are apparent; if you don’t take advantage, you won’t get a return. You are overdue for a change, so buckle up and see what’s available, but don’t gamble — what you encounter will be good and bad. Know the difference, especially when dealing with new acquaintances. 4 stars

     PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Having proper eating habits, exercising and staying away from people or situations that could lead to illness or injury are best avoided.

Your numbers are 5, 11, 24, 29, 31, 37, 43.

     ARIES (March 21-April 19): Limit the information you share. Choose your words wisely, and don’t make promises you can’t honor. A direct approach will help you get what you want and when. Use your imagination to make whatever idea you present to others fun-filled. Charm and knowledge will far exceed pressure tactics. Giving a playful presentation will be hard to resist. 3 stars

     TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Choosing practicality over whimsy will save you from loss. Avoid hype about earning easy money. Someone will have a hidden agenda that can leave you in a vulnerable position. A good memory, along with reservations, will keep you out of harm’s way and help you recognize and take advantage of something more appropriate. Avoid being managed. 3 stars

     GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be ready to take a leap of faith. An opportunity shows promise if you are willing to work hard.

Using charm will help you get the support you need to get things done on time. Emotional manipulation is apparent if you are naive or put yourself at someone else’s disposal. 2 stars

     LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Gather information and consider the possibilities. Don’t stop short, have low confidence or let confusion take over. If you do the legwork, you’ll be surprised how much you can achieve. Take the high road, buckle down, talk the talk and market yourself for success. Invision the possibilities, and play to win. Good decisions will lead to new beginnings. 5 stars

     VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Personal situations involving money, contracts and commitments will be strained if not handled openly and honestly. If you feel someone is giving you the runaround, they probably are. Take notes, keep records and account for any dealings to avoid mistakes that might cost you. Get a second opinion when dealing with medical, legal or financial issues. 3 stars

     LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Complete your missions before you get into discussions or take on new projects. It’s important to stay on top of matters if you want to eliminate undue stress. An empty to-do list will help you recognize and initiate an opportunity that comes into your sphere. New endeavors will prompt an energetic and passionate attitude. Don’t overthink. 3 stars

     SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stay focused on your agenda and objective. A pleasant disposition will help you gain the respect and assistance you need. A change or move you want to pursue will have underlying stipulations that can be problematic or costly. Follow the dots, and reconsider your intentions once you have a better appreciation of what your plans entail. 3 stars

     SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make domestic changes to ease your overhead. Consider who and what is costing you, and go through a process of elimination to ensure you aren’t wasteful.

     CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look inward. Make a list addressing the self-improvements you want to initiate and how cost-effective they are for the return you receive. Educational pursuits that enrich your mind or physical changes that make you more appealing can both help you build momentum in achieving personal and professional gains. If you choose logic over ego, you’ll make the right decision. 2 stars

     AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Imagination, intuition and an abundance of energy that needs an outlet will help you find a path loaded with all sorts of interesting opportunities.
