Does money rule?

"If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master."

-- Francis Bacon

In what ways does money rule your life?

Money has entered so deeply into our lives that it can become our primary reference point. We make so many of our decisions based on how they affect the bottom line. Do you compromise things you really value for money? Has the power of money hurt your relationships, your health, your work or your self-respect?

"If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life."

-- Billy Graham

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)

Though you are very much in a minority over a crucial matter, this does not mean you are wrong. Experience has taught you much, so trust your judgment. Respect the majority, but make sure you properly honour your own viewpoint

Scorpio (Oct. 24 — Nov. 22)

A wise gardener knows to leave a seed alone once it's been planted. Digging it up to see how it is doing will only destroy any chance it has of taking root. A certain situation has had all the help from you that it can have. It now merely needs time to play out.

Gemini (May 21 — June 21)

By being in so great a hurry to get where you want to be, you may be missing a simple, much more obvious, approach to getting there. If you run too fast, you might stumble. Walk and you will stroll ahead to a rapid success.

Pisces (Feb. 20 — March 20)

If you want to make the most of your month, don't take what anyone says to heart. "Life is too important to be taken seriously," as Oscar Wilde once said. Take it easy and be gracefully philosophical about whatever is in danger of upsetting you.
