GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A change will lead to a lesson. What you learn may require some fine-tuning, but where there’s a will, there’s a way to tailor whatever attracts you to fit your needs. Be precise regarding what you are willing to pay for something, and don’t let temptation lead to unwanted debt. Take control instead of being controlled. 4 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Listen, gather information and get the lowdown regarding proper protocol.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be reluctant to follow the crowd. It’s best to rely on your intelligence, experience and intuition, especially when dealing with financial, medical or legal matters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Bounce your ideas, projections and offers by an expert before you make a commitment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An open conversation will clear up any mixed messages you’ve been receiving. Be bold and direct, and offer sound advice and solutions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): More time spent at home or with someone who brightens your day will be uplifting.

A minimalist attitude will help you avoid temptation. 5 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Wait, watch and keep your secrets, intentions and thoughts to yourself. Someone will take advantage of you if you reveal or put yourself in a vulnerable position.

A personal change will require discipline and patience. 2 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep moving. Pushing yourself physically to meet deadlines or set yourself up to excel will put your mind at rest once you have everything in place.
