Aries (March 21 - April 19) Opportunistic tendencies can almost be forgiven in today's climate. Almost but not quite. Try to stay grounded and remind yourself you can survive this without losing your composure, or your integrity.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) No matter how often you tell yourself your plans are firm, be ready for them to change. If nothing else is certain, the fact that nothing is certain these days is guaranteed. No amount of money will buy you added surety.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) If you were surprised by your change in fortune, it makes sense that you want to identify all the undercurrents. Some things aren't knowable until you give them a try -- are you willing to take a risk again?
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Things are going from bad to worse. In fact, they're getting downright extreme. You're not living in a tent city just yet, but do take your situation seriously. Make changes in your spending while it still matters.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Get your ego out of the equation and take care of the bottom line as ruthlessly as you would in any other situation. That your arrogance and possibly your self-respect are on the block shouldn't cloud your judgment.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Remember when meeting someone new was your only ambition? If only you could go back to those innocent days. For now, focus on keeping your financial boat afloat and block out all flirtation.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Old issues are coming back to haunt you. Funny how that happens the moment you're feeling depressed or out of balance. Don't fall back on your old form of therapy. Keep the credit cards safely tucked away.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You've been forced to exert some self control, and your willpower is much stronger for it. In fact, you're much better off all the way around -- well, except financially. No pain, no gain.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Of course you're focused on money, and even more so than you were when you had plenty of it. You're just putting it before all else. So when music and art hold appeal, sigh a sigh of relief and enjoy it.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You won't get the recognition or money you've been craving -- or any good results, for that matter. You will get something more valuable than gold, however: The stamina to endure. Keep up the good work.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) A little bit of restriction is a good thing, especially for someone who's never known a lick of discipline. If you're not sure why things are happening the way they are, that's your cosmic answer in a nutshell.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Are you enabling your friends or coworkers? If you're pointing out sales or asking for shopping company, the sad answer is yes. Helping them stay within budget is your new role as assistant.
