HOROSCOPES

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Put the past behind you and make the present and the future priorities.

ARIES March 21-April 19

Contemplate what it is you really want to do before you initiate your plans. Time is on your side, and if you are patient, you will end up getting what you want.

TAURUS April 20-May 20

Instigate rather than waiting for someone else to force you into something. If you take control now, you will be able to take advantage of an opportunity.

GEMINI May 21-June 20

Travel, communicate with experts and make up your mind about what’s next on your agenda.

CANCER June 21-July 22

Check out the risk factors and consider heading toward someone or something that is a little more obscure than your usual encounters.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22

Not so fast. If you try to step in and take over, you will get more than you bargained for.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Bring on change. A change of environment will give you greater perspective regarding your current situation and how best to deal with matters that concern others.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22

You’ll have some good ideas but are still likely to face opposition from someone who likes to control you.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Change may be tempting, but before you begin, you should consider how it will affect others.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Do what will help you and the things you believe in most instead of giving in to someone pestering you or making you feel guilty if you don’t make a donation or offer an undeserved handout.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19

A geographical move or altering your situation at home will give you the motivation to try something new, make positive decisions and improve your relationship with someone you care about.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Sit tight and focus on knowledge, information and what you can learn from others. Don’t feel you have to jump into something just because someone else does.

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20

Look back and you will gain greater insight from situations you have experienced in the past.
