ARIES (March 21-April 19)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Don’t give in to worrisome ideas. Remember: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Family relations might disappoint. Don’t give these negative vibes any energy. Instead, focus on positive thinking. Be The Little Engine That Could.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
