- Aries
 Let your mind spin out, and ideas will come up. You simply know how to
deal with others. Reach for the stars, and make sure you are getting
everything you want and more. Your attitude renews, and you feel
revitalized. Tonight: Some soul-searching.
- Taurus
 - Gemini
 Take in new views. Seek out an expert, or certainly someone who has a
very different point of view. If you do, you could be surprised by what
emerges. The more open you are, the better or more together a plan,
project or investment can be.
- Cancer
 Investigate and understand rather than push. Your ability to see
another point of view, especially financially, will help you open up.
Checking out ideas with someone in the know proves to be helpful.
Tonight: Drop the word "no" from your vocabulary.
- Leo
 - Virgo
 You know what you can get done, if no one interferes with you. The real
question is: Will you be able to do just that? We certainly hope so!
Later, meetings and interpersonal matters are highlighted. Know that
anything can happen if you believe it. Tonight: Socialize the night
away, and it's only Monday!
