HOROSCOPE

Do your own research. Refuse to act on hearsay or to let your emotions take you in a direction that isn’t normal for you to travel down. The more equipped you are to take on a challenge, the better. Your numbers are 4, 12, 19, 23, 28, 35, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Look at the big picture when it comes to dealing with your position, status and relationships with others. Take a wait-and-see approach instead of acting on assumptions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

You’ll be tempted to get involved in a joint venture. Consider the likelihood that you may jeopardize your relationship. A change in your beliefs should be based on solid facts and proof.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Show patience with others instead of allowing yourself to be bored. Don’t burn bridges, but don’t neglect your desires, either. Find a way to satisfy your needs without disrupting a group effort.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Explore new possibilities. Don’t feel like you have to stick to a routine, frequent the same places or continually spend time with the same people. Variety is the spice of life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Hold tight. You may feel inclined to make changes at home or work, but before you go down that path, consider the consequences. Appearing to be inconsistent or unpredictable will cause others to feel left out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Share information and discuss plans. Get involved in the events or activities that are most interesting to you. Sign up for group endeavors, fitness classes or other health-oriented pastimes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Consider new ways to bring in extra cash or review how you are getting along with your peers. A change of heart instigated by someone close to you can start a dispute that may be difficult to resolve.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You’ll have an agenda to fulfill, but before you leap in, consider your motives. Use your intelligence instead of brute force to bring about changes. Peace of mind will far outweigh winning unjustly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

An unexpected turn of events looks promising. Network, get involved in organizations you believe in, or make intellectual changes that will boost your reputation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

A desire to act quickly or without preparation should be harnessed and reeled in. Mistakes will happen if you aren’t positive or if you haven’t done your research. A chance to get ahead is within reach. Strive to do what’s right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Knowing what’s going on around you will make it easier to navigate your way to victory. Money, legal and health issues are best handled with less emotion and greater intelligence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

You’ve got everything under control. Don’t back down or shy away. Step up and take over. The help you offer and the connections you gain will encourage you to get involved in an organization you feel drawn toward.
