TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t fool yourself into thinking someone will help you out of the goodness of their heart. There will be a price to pay or hidden costs that come your way if you aren’t cautious about who you hire or how you invest your time and money. 5 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look for legitimate opportunities, not hype. If something sounds too good to be true, take a pass. Invent opportunities rather than tag along. The easy path will not pay off long-term. Do your best, work hard and use your skills, experience and knowledge to advance. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Reach out to interest groups or people who can contribute to your success. Start a dialogue and determine what’s available and the cost involved.
