Someone has an investment or moneymaking idea that just might work. You can also say no or take your time deciding how involved you want to be. The more questions you ask the better. Tonight: Play the night away.

You might justifiably wonder what hit others. Questions and requests pop up out of left field. The answers can be gotten, but you need time. Make calls and schedule appointments. Tonight: Happy as a clam at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might suddenly discover that you have overextended yourself, and panic. Why? Take a realistic look and start seeking out ideas and suggestions (besides to stop spending). Tonight: Talk about a problem. Don’t shut down.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

With the Moon in your sign, your power continues to draw strong results. Be careful about a risk or gamble. You have unusual creativity; use it now. Tonight: Gather your bills.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Though you might not be the epitome of energy and excitement, you can accomplish a lot. Others respond to your withdrawal with curiosity. By the evening, you regain your energy. Tonight: The world brightens up.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
