CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will want to approach one of today’s big jobs in stages, so that you avoid trying to do too much at any one time. Pace yourself!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’re trying to put the last few pieces of a puzzle into place but won’t see what’s missing until you look at it from another angle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Pay attention to subtle rhythms that are actually controlling much that you do -- and the choices that you make. Don’t buck the system.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The earlier you start today, the earlier you may finish -- but that’s not guaranteed. There may be some loose ends to tie up.
