HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Curb your enthusiasm, especially when dealing with a nervous loved one who isn’t sure what to do. Urging this individual to act before they are ready could put undue strain on your relationship. It would be much better to state your case and then make a strategic retreat.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

You’ve always taken promises seriously; be especially careful about the vows you make. Rather than making a half-hearted promise, hold out for an arrangement that fills you with confidence. Anyone who disagrees with your wait lacks your optimism.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

All you want is to have fun, but obligations may prevent you today. Rather than griping about work, approach it like a game; this will make time fly. If you can’t meet with your favorite people now, schedule a video conference. In truth, you are tremendously lucky.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Treat yourself with the care, consideration and respect you know you deserve. Whether this means buying yourself a special gift, repeating positive affirmations in the mirror, or refusing to give in to others is immaterial. The important thing is to put your own needs first.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Continually expressing your disapproval of a bad plan is exhausting. Instead of voicing your opposition yet again today, remain silent and let the decisionmakers take responsibility for their own actions. In the meantime, you can keep busy looking for a more satisfying role.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Give yourself permission to follow your heart even if it means earning less income in the immediate future. Your moneymaking prospects will soon improve. It should be easy to attract the attention you want, whether it’s for business or pleasure. It’s also a good time to go on job interviews.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

No matter how much you want to do things a certain way, your family may insist on going in a different direction. Don’t be afraid to go solo, even if it means losing financial support. You’re smart enough to find income that will allow you to make independent decisions.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Harsh criticism can be hurtful, even to a fierce heart like yours. People often don’t realize how sensitive you truly are because you can project an air of passivity regardless of what is said and done to you. Deep down inside, though, you care profoundly what others think.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Financial limitations are frustrating, especially when you see your friends with disposable income continually indulging themselves. Remind yourself that you too can be, do and have anything you want. Model your behavior after a loved one who lands the highpaying jobs.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Nobody likes being told what to do, particularly when it comes to personal matters. Have a heart-to-heart discussion with someone whose life is going to be affected by an upcoming decision. By listening to their concerns, you can alter a plan so it’s not as disruptive.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Resist the temptation to judge your personal worth based on your bank balance. Your true value has nothing to do with the amount of money you have; it rests in your love for humanity, your innovative outlook and your powerful intelligence. Freedom is worth its weight in gold.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Working on a team could advance your agenda better than working alone. Reach out to someone organized, practical and detail-oriented. Friends may not support your dramatic overhaul of your livelihood; they’re worried you’re putting too much faith in somebody else.
