He will next star with Dwayne Johnson in the comedy “Fighting with My Family.” Aries (March 21-April 19): You can’t go far with the brakes on. Slow down and don’t expect to get your way. Any frustrations you experience might be due to your own headstrong and willful ways. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. If someone criticizes your work, take the time to correct it and make it perfect. Drive and ambition take center stage, but so does oneupmanship. Gemini (May 21-June 20): Give in with good grace rather than fighting a losing battle. Find an acceptable exit strategy. Avoid betraying confidential information, even if tempted to show that you are “in the know.” Cancer (June 21-July 22): Count every penny and make every penny count. Frugal habits will keep you out of hot water with the credit reporting agencies and the bank manager. Your savings can be turned to your advantage. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Self-discipline and attention to routine are the best means to whip a pile of tasks into order. The more you know about the competition, the more likely you can surpass it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Blessed are the meek. Keep a low profile for a few days and be content with your current lot. Spend time on the object of your enthusiasm, but don’t neglect to perform mundane tasks. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Slow starts might be discouraging. Getting organized and maintaining a list of priorities will help you get through the next few days. Focus on doing the best that you can. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pace yourself. Some matters are not a sprint, but more like an endurance race. Unflagging determination will lead to success eventually. A compromise will be difficult to achieve. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Waste not, want not. Fill up the piggy bank with spare change and clip the coupons from the newspaper. What you consider a romantic overture might be merely a friendly gesture. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Act on sound principles. You may be surrounded by people who adroitly handle business matters or possess plenty of street smarts. Work hard, but remember to get some rest, too. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Problems that come to your notice should be dealt with while they are fresh in your mind. In the long run, implementing small economies will help you achieve the security you desire. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People might think you are better or more desirable than you really are. You can bluff, but remember that others may not show their whole hand. if March 28 is your birthday: You are the “cat’s pajamas” or perhaps the “apple of someone’s eye” as the next three to four weeks unfold. Because your best attributes are evident, it is a good time to meet new people, including prospective employers or romantic partners. “Good things come to those who wait” might be your motto in May and August. Both are months when you will need to work hard merely to stay on top of your obligations and a time when you should not initiate anything new. If you are waiting for prayers to be answered, the right opportunity to come along or a definite signal that a special someone is the real deal, hold off until December. That is when your judgment is at its best and when it is easy to attain worthwhile objectives.
