CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be careful what you share and with whom; not everyone will be sincere.

Let your gestures reveal your true feelings. 5 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take your time. If you rush into something, you will have regrets. Emotions will be hard to disguise, and overreacting will cost you if you reveal too much. Take a moment, think matters through and keep your thoughts to yourself while listening and observing how others react. Silence is golden when uncertainty sets in. 2 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Participate in events that motivate you to take better care of yourself.
