HOROSCOPE

(Horoscope is just for fun. You don’t have to believe it.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

You know what’s important to you and youre unwilling to compromise your beliefs for the sake of expediency. In fact, your ego can interfere with your progress today if you think you have a better way to approach a particular job that is different from everyone else’s. Rather than considering how you could moderate your plan to work with others, you expect them to adapt to your standards now. Unfortunately, this stubborn stance doesnt bode well for smooth interactions with your workmates. Stretching your limits is the only way to become more flexible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Sharing your plans with your friends may be your sneaky way to ask for help without revealing any insecurity about your decisions. You just want a simple nod of approval so you know youre on the right track now. You hope your ideas are so enticing that your best allies will offer to jump in with their expertise. However, your expectations might be over the top because people are already too busy to take on more work. Additionally, you could receive some unexpected feedback in the form of constructive criticism today. If youre not willing to listen to what others have to say, then dont ask in the first place.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

You can only hold onto a specific position so long today because your perspective changes as you gather more facts. Since youre driven to do your best at work, you dont really care if your original conclusions are ultimately the final ones. Youre happy to incorporate new information into your developing game plan because your adaptability is one of your greatest strengths. Just dont embrace every single entertaining idea or youll be rebuilding your foundation so often that you wont be able to take the next step. Creating a solid base now is crucial to your success later on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Your optimism fuels your determination today as you look to your future. You truly believe you cant help but succeed at whatever you decide to do, making your current choices extremely important. However, youre not interested in heading off on your own now; you prefer to be an integral part of a team. You gain security from working on a cause with others, but you also know that youll accomplish more if several people are pulling in the same direction. An African proverb teaches, If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

You have an agenda at work and you expect everyone to either help you or get out of your way. You will not take kindly to anyone who resists your efforts today. Fortunately, unexpected assistance arrives when a powerful person jumps on your bandwagon and inspires others to do the same. Graciously accept any support that is offered now because it may disappear as quickly as it arrived. Although you might feel abandoned at first if someone shifts their loyalty, it wont matter in the long run. Don’t let your focus drift for any reason at all until you reach your goal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You are quite practical as you make plans for your next vacation, even if its the biggest adventure youve ever taken. Your ideas might sound overly ambitious to others today, but they dont understand how committed you are to transforming your fantasy into reality. Your vision is wide now, but extremely focused. Nevertheless, there are hurdles to overcome, logistics to wrangle and a budget to manage. Your journey seems daunting at first, but if you take it step by step, manifesting your dream is a delicious piece of cake.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Your attention turns to the details of a complicated business partnership today. You have high hopes that an agreement can be reached, even when dealing with financial or technical issues. At first, neither side wants to give an inch on anything. This is the stage where each person declares their contradicting position to be the only position. Nevertheless, movement is likely now; breakthroughs will produce exhilaration all the way around. Genuine compromise is possible on several fronts if everyone can remember that it takes a village to create positive change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

It’s tempting to put the blame on someone else today, especially if you are working out the logistics in a close relationship. You believe that youre openminded and willing to alter your perspective when offered a good reason. However, you also think its necessary for both parties to give and take. Unfortunately, the other person appears to be uninterested in listening to your opinions. Nothing is as it seems now; in fact, you might be the overly emotional one, projecting your rigidity onto someone else. You cant change anyone elses mind; just do the best with your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You are so reliable at work that it seems as if everyone is leaning on you to help them finish their chores. But you are less expressive today, keeping your concerns about your hectic schedule to yourself. Nevertheless, you might finally react if you feel pushed to the edge. Although you could unexpectedly lose your temper, an emotional outbreak is mentally draining. Deliver on your promises and complete your work on time. Being true to your word is more important now than being true to your feelings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

There’s no need to be overly showy today when it comes to expressing your emotions or demonstrating your admiration to someone you love. In fact, youre more likely to convey your true feelings through persistent behavior rather than dramatic gestures of magnanimity. The truth is any single act by itself says very little compared to your habitual performance over time. Wear your loyalty like a badge of honor. Bruce Lee said, Longterm consistency trumps short-term intensity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You don’t need to wave any flags or commit any courageous acts in order to be a responsible member of your family or workgroup. In fact, its the simplest things that say the most now, since others wont be impressed by fast talking and radical behavior. Your idealistic intentions carry little weight today, but its your determination to deliver the goods that ensures your legacy. Colin Powell said, Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20):

Your word is as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar today. Although your actions might appear confusing to others at first, they may be judging you against a past performance when their unrealistic expectations set you up for failure. But you are quick to learn from your previous mistakes, and your promises are more restrained now. First Lady Rosalynn Carter said, You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.
