Your Horoscope for Thursday, March 16

- JACQUELINE BIGAR

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be more forthright with someone you work with. Your strong suit is not diplomacy, so be sure to touch base with a friend or loved one who won’t hesitate to give you the lay of the land. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stay on your chosen path, and you will find out a lot about those around you. Even if others indicate that they are on the same path, their actions might reveal a different story.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself, and head in a new direction. You will see events unfurl in a unique way. How you deal with a controllin­g person who affects your life in multiple ways is important. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity emerges after a discussion with someone who has a lot of interestin­g ideas. As a result, you are likely to be more dynamic when approachin­g different situations or when coming up with solutions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay close to home, but be ready for a change of atmosphere. A roommate or close family member is likely to express his or her discomfort in a way that is meaningful and direct. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep a conversati­on from heading in a direction that you are not comfortabl­e with. You have a unique style that might distract others. Tap into your imaginatio­n, and you will find an easy resolution. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be in the mood to deal with taxes and other serious matters. A conversati­on could be intimidati­ng, but you’ll prove to be on top of your game. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You succeed when you are true to your word. You will discover a strong response to this trait, which benefits you in many ways. You tend to be secretive, but if you follow through, others will be less concerned about your elusive ways. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel as if you have less going for you than usual. That might be true, or perhaps it’s not, but either way, there is no need to be defensive. You’ll want to take a step back and decide to schedule a few days off just for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on what you want. You might sense what someone else needs, but you can’t be sure unless you ask him or her directly. Being open to others’ feedback is necessary. You seem to be able to know who is on the phone before you even answer it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A loved one might be impressed by your strong sense of direction. Consider treating this person to a late lunch and having a heart-to-heart conversati­on. Over a meal, people tend to relax more. Be sensitive to someone else’s demands. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to respond to a friend’s inquiry. Make sure you speak in a tone that leaves open the possibilit­y of continuing the discussion at a later date. Clearly, many different ideas can lead to a reasonable resolution.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (March 16) This year you often seem to know what is going to happen next. Many of you might not trust your inner voice, but you’ll need to test it out and use it when appropriat­e. Your intuition is a strength of yours.
