Horoscopes

ARIES March 21 - April 19

There is extra vitality and enthusiasm on tap in the week to come, so use it well. Sidestep petty spats and focus on being cooperative and agreeable. You may be tempted to go overboard by spending way too much.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20

Everything has a price, but not everything you can buy is worth the price. In the week ahead, you might be wise to wait until you can get the very best for your money. Steer clear of disputes, disagreements and misunderstandings.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

You may learn what “passive-aggressive” really means in the week ahead. Give someone the benefit of the doubt and remain tolerant. Doubts will disappear, and a tense situation will relax, after the middle of the week.

CANCER June 21 - July 22

Achieve balance and serenity this week. You may think it is exciting, but a digital addiction can prevent you from enjoying the natural world. Avoid binge-watching TV shows or constantly checking a smartphone.

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22

Mindfulness can put you out of your misery. Take some time out in the week ahead to stop to smell the roses, watch the sun rise or listen to the birds. Gain confidence as you realize that you have the right to enjoy the very best.

VIRGO Aug. 23 - Sept. 22

Wait until midweek to make purchases that require good taste. Even then you may be a bit extravagant or careless. Rely upon a significant other for sound feedback or good advice about key expenditures.

LIBRA Sept. 23 - Oct. 22

A preoccupation with computer games or social media can distract you from more important matters. As this week unfolds you may need every ounce of diplomacy to deal with overly sensitive people and situations.

SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov. 21 In the week ahead, you may have an opportunity to successfully launch a meaningful project or plan. Scrutinize the terms of any contract or agreement that you consider in the early part of the week.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 - Dec. 21

Your confusion will evaporate in a few more days. In the meantime, use good judgment to deal with family, loved ones and complicated situations. Gain lasting peace by ignoring minor dustups.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 19

Your friendly gestures and well-meaning comments could be misunderstood. Workplace misunderstandings in the earliest part of the week can be conquered if you focus on being cooperative and generous.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

Start projects in the week ahead that require caring for the environment or aim at long-term profits. You can be very intuitive and far-seeing when dealing with intricate financial matters. Avoid impulse purchases.

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20

Make peace a priority. To gain approval from others, blend reliability with practicality and avoid vagueness. During the week to come you can visualize what others want and organize your time to provide it.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Concentrate on spiritual gain rather than material gain over the next four to six weeks. There is a tendency to fight against the very things that are good for you and your judgment may be off base. You could be gung-ho about a new project, business idea, or money-making activity in July and August. In August you may be especially astute about financial matters and can look at your retirement portfolio or career prospects with sharper eyes. In October friends and group activities will keep you occupied and prevent you from straying off to follow a fantasy or get-rich scheme. Emerging talents may appear in January that can drive you toward a long-lasting fertile period that leads you to hook up with people and things that bring enduring happiness.
