HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): Back out now if things are too intense because there’s no such thing as being in for a penny when Mars is in Scorpio. It’s strictly in for a pound.

TAURUS hot and spicy over the next few weeks. Don’t overdo or you’ll wake up in the night with heartburn.

GEMINI (May 20-June 19): Just when everything was supposed to be signed, sealed, and delivered it comes undone. Don’t salvage it. This forces the real culprit to step forward.

CANCER (June 20-July 21): The icier you act, the more heated a love interest becomes. Yes, it goes against your maternal nature, but sometimes you have to throw a little Mommy Dearest into the mix.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): Your peaceful sanctuary is transformed into a battlefield while Mars is in Scorpio (Dec. 9 – Jan. 26). Then again it could reintroduce passions that had gone missing.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): The answer you’re looking for is too late to prevent one problem, but just in time to nip another one in the bud.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 21): Options are unappealing so choose the lesser of two evils. The end result could be a blessing in disguise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 20): You can make a lot of headway with Mars in Scorpio for 7 weeks. You can also lose it by making people angry. Make sure that you play nicely with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20): Over the next few weeks you begin to reassert your power in what’s been a powerless situation. Take it one day at a time and you’ll regain lost ground.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): A thankless endeavor winds up becoming an enormous asset. Sometimes tedious endeavors really do pay off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): Put your interests ahead of everyone else’s until Jan 26. People will fall into line quickly now that you’re asserting your alpha status.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): You’re not a big fan of contingency plans, but you may want to rethink things now that Plan B is looking better than Plan A.
