Home improvements that are geared toward fitness and a healthy lifestyle are favored. 3 stars

     CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stressing over something you can’t change will be counterproductive. Focus on what helps you relax or get together with someone who offers positive reinforcement. Fitness, creativity or kicking back with a good book will help you put your life in perspective. Personal and self-improvements are highlighted, and love and romance are on the rise. 3 stars

     LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Choose to initiate change. Your determination, knowledge and connections can help you excel if you let go of the past and engage in something fresh.

     SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take time to rejuvenate. Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for declining an invitation or wanting to be alone. Giving yourself the space to mull over the past and let it go, while assessing the present and the changes you want to make that can help point you in a direction you desire, will be worthwhile. 3 stars

     SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Size up your financial situation before you start making plans.

Make improvements at home that help lower your overhead, freeing up cash for something special. 3 stars

     CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be fooled by someone’s rhetoric. Talk is cheap, and scammers are out in full force.

Look inward and consider what puts your mind at ease; head in that direction. Your best return will come from self-help. 3 stars

     AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid situations that cause anxiety, frustration and anger.
