CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even though you are quite adroit at managing your material affairs, you may not be too impressive at handling personal relationships. Stick to what you do best whenever you can.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It is far better to go without than to make a bad deal with strings attached. In order to get what you want or think you need, it would be far better to wait until the timing is right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unless you set a shining example, don't expect your friends and associates to behave perfectly. On the contrary, they will emulate you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Leave your credit cards at home if you plan to go anyplace where extravagant items are likely to be displayed. You might be inclined to do more than window-wish.
