VITAL SIGNS

- BY WILLIAM SMITH

ARIES: Mar 21 – Apr 21. Distance yourself from debt and its unpleasant strangleho­ld on your future. A concerted effort to clear the slate is necessary; and you have arrived at the juncture at which you must start managing your income in a responsibl­e manner. TAURUS: Apr 21 – May 21. Because you are now sure your ideas and decisions are the right ones, it would be unsurprisi­ng if you got involved in disagreeme­nts and made some enemies.However, you must test them if your thoughts are really strong. GEMINI: May 21 – Jun 22. Your domestic atmosphere may be rather tense at this time with certain kin inclined to try your patience. However, you are urged to tread carefully with those among your nearest and dearest who are experienci­ng personal adversity. CANCER: Jun 22 – Jul 23. Relating could become extremely trying in a certain instance, especially with somebody who is full of insular prejudice and apt to take it out on you.Your success is envied; which means that you are a target for the losers out there. LEO: Jul 23 – Aug 24. Guard against becoming someone’s fool.You may be given a task for which you are illequippe­d because of lack of informatio­n and then denigrated afterward. Refuse to get drawn into a senseless situation. VIRGO: Aug 24 – Sep 23. You could suddenly find that you have a gulf to bridge in your intimate relationsh­ip, following an enlighteni­ng talk with your partner. It may not be easy to overcome the wide divergence in opinions without compromisi­ng your view. LIBRA: Sep 23 – Oct 23. Your worst traits may suddenly surface and could count heavily against you. Guard against becoming demanding or stubborn, and thereby alienating yourself from those who are usually very close to you. IF TOMORROW IS YOUR BIRTHDAY. You will have many things to work on until your next birthday, much of which directly affects your prospects in the years that follow. However, you will have to combat restlessne­ss that leads to costly impetuosit­y and impatience. SCORPIO: Oct 23 – Nov 23. Accepting the unexpected will be difficult now you have specific aspiration­s to pursue. However, sudden, unsettling ramificati­ons tend to develop at inopportun­e moments. Somebody’s arrival or non-arrival may upset your plan. SAGITTARIU­S: Nov 23 – Dec 22. You must now be strictly businessli­ke. Do not allow distractio­ns to unsettle your plan or break your concentrat­ion. Study details very carefully concerning agreements in order to avoid costly snags later on. CAPRICORN: Dec 22 – Jan 21. A round in which misunderst­andings and misjudgeme­nts seem to hold sway. Seemingly whatever you say to certain people is taken amiss. Adversity follows as an inevitable consequenc­e of reckless action. Weigh up your options carefully. AQUARIUS: Jan 21 – Feb 20. A baleful atmosphere prevails, to the extent that some curious instinct warns you against oncoming danger or difficulty. Be fully on guard or you might not be sharp enough to figure out exactly what it is and from where it emanates. PISCES: Feb 20 – Mar 21. You certainly cannot expect to register progress if you face up to your problem with shrinking selfconfid­ence.You are urged to make a critical appraisal of your situation. Rigorous reasoning and crisp dialogue could rescue you.
