PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t waste time on trivialities or nonsense on the 11th and 12th. Put your heart and soul into something that moves and motivates you to do your best and to follow your dreams. Keep life simple, be direct, and avoid excessive behavior and temptation. Be careful what you share and with whom on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, someone will embellish what you have to say and get you in trouble with someone you care about. Discipline is necessary if you want to avoid conflicts and maintain a stellar reputation. Put your energy where it will benefit most on the 16th and 17th. You can make a difference without breaking the bank by offering your skills or time instead of a cash donation.
