After Friday, daily job routines and financial decisions may require careful determination. Avoid workplace triangles, if possible: political tensions may be high.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Over the next eight days, key officials may purposely provide misinformation. Complex applications, financial deadlines and legal rights may all be accented.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Loved ones may this week test your resolve concerning recent family or home decisions. Daily obligations, emotional habits or social rules will now demand firm boundaries.

Friday through Sunday highlights remarkable intuition into the social behavior of a friend or lover. Past regrets and lingering memories are accented: remain sensitive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Carefully study all workplace documents or legal contracts. Over the next eight days, some Scorpios may be presented with a controversial employment strategy or business deadline.

After Saturday, home renovations, daily budgets and small repairs will trigger bold family discussions: expect creative proposals.

Check legal paperwork thoroughly for financial limits or restrictions. Thursday through Saturday, a new friend may issue a controversial group invitation. Social tensions and romantic triangles are best avoided: wait for clear signals.

If your birthday is this week: After mid-March, expect loved ones to press for a greatly expanded role in your life. Planned celebrations, family involvement or added home discussions may be on the agenda. Make all necessary decisions before the end of March, if possible, and watch for a powerful wave of emotional bonding to arrive. For many Pisceans, several months of vague communications or unpredictable promises will soon fade. After April 17, expect a new era of legal commitments, romantic sharing and family participation. Watch finances, however, and respond honestly to minor reversals or employment setbacks between May 9 and June 3: your opinion will be respected. Throughout the summer months, new friends demand attention. Stay balanced: social patterns may dramatically change in September.
