TODAY’S HOROSCOPE

IF MAR. 11 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Use your imagination to your advantage. If you listen to what others say and elaborate on their suggestions, you will move into a position of leadership that will help you gain popularity. You can make a difference at home and in your community if you use the power of persuasion.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)

— You’ll be faced with decisions that you may not want to make. Consider what will happen if you let someone else intervene. You are best off staying in control.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

— Use your ingenuity to bypass complaints. If you stay on top of what’s expected of you, it will be easier to avoid being put in an awkward position. Stick to the truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —

You’ll learn from the experiences you’ve had with people looking for help. Listen and make suggestions, but don’t do the work or pay for someone else’s problem.

(May 21-June 20) — Listen to the advice being offered and consider your choices. Paying a price for past mistakes will allow you to move more freely. Someone you least expect will be deceptive.

GEMINI CANCER (June 21-July 22) —

Partnerships will need to be handled with care. Listen to complaints and criticism, and consider how best to deal with problems without making matters worse. Understanding and kindness are encouraged.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) —

Say what’s on your mind. Honesty and integrity are the most important factors if you want to get things done. If you pussyfoot around a conflict, you’ll end up being used.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —

You can socialize, but don’t go over budget when doing so. There are cheap ways to have fun. Just spending time with someone you love should be enough to make this a great day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —

Partnerships will be on shaky ground if you cannot come to terms with who is responsible for what. Equality will be the only way to bring order out of chaos.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)—

Don’t feel the need to follow someone who is prone to unpredictability. Acting on an emotional whim will lead to trouble and could affect your reputation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21)

— Personal problems surrounding a partner, parent or someone you live with must be dealt with thoughtfully. Don’t jump to conclusions or take sides. Show support and compassion, but don’t be gullible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —

Listen attentively, but don’t share personal information, and keep your assets, possessions and status well hidden. Take a unique approach to the way you handle your cash. Invest in yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —

An emotional matter involving money should be handled smartly. Joint ventures are best avoided, and if someone owes you, it’s time to collect. Don’t purchase unnecessary items.
