It will be necessary to evenly divide your personal and professional responsibilities if you wish to reach your goals this year. Joint business ventures look promising once clear lines are drawn. A tumultuous personal issue will develop and, if handled properly, will lead to a closer connection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t underestimate the power of your opinion. Make the most of any group situations to initiate productive networking. Services, purchases and professional opportunities will develop from intelligent and shared discussions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Instead of looking after everyone else, you should engage in some personal pampering. A short visit to a spa, a sporting event or even a shopping spree will help free your mind and ease your stress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Participating in a cause close to your heart will give you the chance to make compatible and interesting contacts. Delays regarding travel and communications are to be expected.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be sure to evaluate the total cost before taking on any home renovations. Leave some funds available for an unexpected expense so you don’t incur debt and worry.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It’s a good day to spend some quiet time reflecting on past dreams and goals. Unplug, unwind and write down the things you have accomplished and the goals you have yet to achieve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Remain cool. Expect obstacles and prepare to bypass them. Don’t give in to frustration, depression or self-doubt. You have what it takes to triumph.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Refrain from starting something new. Focus on completing tasks that you have been reluctant to finish. Taking on more responsibilities when you are already overdoing it will be costly.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – A business or educational seminar will motivate you to begin a new project. Be fair in your personal relationships. Ensure that you are not burdening your loved ones with too many responsibilities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will receive an enticing proposal, but before you jump on it, do your homework. An impulsive leap to a new position will not bring the results you were hoping for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t expect everyone to favor your ideas. If you have your heart set on a certain activity or project, prepare to move forward on your own. The final decision must be yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – An eye for detail and meticulous record keeping will ensure that all of your personal papers are in tip-top shape. Leave some room for romance late in the day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Invest in yourself. Jumping into a fast-cash scheme will end badly. Focus on education, apprenticeships and raising your qualifications and awareness. Greater satisfaction will come through learning and taking on challenges.
