You're pretty good at buying and selling, bartering and saving, and this year you'll get a lot of practice. You could end up fabulously wealthy. But there are changes taking place that are beyond your control. Be as careful about your saving as you are about your spending. Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8. You'd love to get out and stir up some dust. However, there's work that must be completed on time, and there's a change in the orders. You're smart and quick, so find a way to have it all. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8. Have a meeting with someone who shares many of your hopes and your dreams. If you don't know a person like that, this is a good day to find one. This doesn't have to be a lover, but it does have to be a friend. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5. Don't let yourself get distracted, but you can share the burden with someone else. You've promised to do something, but you don't have to do it alone. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 9. Romance is more than just candlelit dinners. True love is also involved in big projects, and now is a good time to make plans. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5. A good, clean argument can clear the air and clear space for love. Say what you feel, keeping a long-term relationship in mind. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. Be careful what you say if the subject is someone else's money. It's best to keep financial dealings confidential now, especially the hot stuff. Libra (Sept.23-Oct.22) Today is a 6. Looks like you're in a situation where what you already know isn't enough. If what you're doing isn't working, whom should you ask? One who has what you want, of course. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an B. You and your partner have unspoken bond, communicating without talking. That might come in handy, because the words you speak today could come out wrong. If it's already happened, say "sorry." Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. You'll soon have a little more control of the situation. It's partly because you're the wisest one in the group, partly because the others will get frustrated and take off. Try something that the others wouldn't. Today is a 9. Once you've figured out the basics of your plan, give it a while to ferment. You'll notice the things that might go wrong before you try them. You'll also be able to tell if the whole thing stinks. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 5. Later tonight or tomorrow, you can get together with friends and tell them everything you've been saving for just the right time. That won't be during working hours, of course. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8. Follow your intuition and your curiosity. Either one could lead you to a fascinating place. Skills you've already acquired can be put to good use. Take on more authority and bring in a little more cash.
