CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Take care of your health and financial well-being. Leave nothing to chance, and don't rely on someone to take care of your responsibilities. Keep everything in perspective and be rational regarding your expectations. It's OK to do things differently, but having a sound plan is essential. Strive for perfection, and you'll be happy with what transpires this year. Situations will not be as they appear. Question anyone offering something too good to be true, and don't let gullibility get you in trouble with someone who can influence your reputation or status.
