GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't hesitate to spend some time trying out a few of your newer ideas. You actually won't know how good they are until they have been tested under real-life conditions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When it's properly challenged, one of your more valuable assets is your curiosity. Take some time to learn something about how to advance your personal interests.
