Thursday, July 10

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Guard against attempting to blame a scapegoat for a problem of your making, because angry reactions will turn people away from you and the support you once had will be gone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Just because you set your mind on completing a specific objective doesn't necessarily mean you'll do so.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Do not make a financial commitment that you know will be hard to keep. Your desire to be involved might be more wishful than logical and would be a major mistake.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Timing and preparation will be extremely important concerning a major goal. If you're impulsive or ill-equipped to handle things, failure is likely.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Expect to make the same mistakes you did previously in a complicated matter if, once again, you are careless and rash in how you go about it. Don't repeat the past; profit from it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you can adjust to conditions being much harder than anticipated, you'll do all right.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — One of your best assets is the ability not to be thrown off course just because some tough, complex developments occur. There is a good chance this gift will be used quite successfully at this time.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Although you're a quick study, your original assessment with regard to a problem at work might be erroneous.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Should you get off on the wrong track, don't waste time chasing a horse that's going in the wrong direction. It will be quicker to take the time to assess the situation and be willing to restart the race.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Once you take on an assignment, be sure to see it through to completion. It would be a mistake to delegate it to someone else at the midway point.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If it becomes obvious that you're not going to find reliable helpers to assist you, see whether you can figure out a way to handle it yourself. You'll be amazed at what you can do on your own.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Don't try to cover up the projected bottom line of a financial arrangement in order not to scare off potential investors.
