CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There won't be any free rides currently. Only hard work and persistence will help you achieve goals worthy of the effort. You'll need to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Disagreements with family need to be kept private. Instead of acquiring support, airing your disputes in public merely makes everyone look bad in the eyes of others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Great rewards could come from situations where you draw upon the resources and/or talents of others rather than just your own. Be sure to share the windfall with those who helped, however.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An activity that appeals to you might not be as equally tantalizing to another, so don't foist it on him or her. Try to come up with something that everyone enjoys.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try to relax and enjoy life a bit, but don't do so at the expense of neglecting a big responsibility or major duty. You wouldn't have any fun with things hanging over your head.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be up front and forthright about requesting favors, and you're more likely to be granted what you ask of others. When you're coy, it tends to cause people to feel as if they're being manipulated.
