HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): Someone’s getting too intense. You’re not used to slamming on the brakes (it’s usually vice-versa) but do it before things get out of hand.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): Refrain from arm-twisting. You won’t get anywhere with it and it will only come back to haunt you later.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20): Are you pushing too hard or not hard enough? It’s hard to tell. Allow for more give and take and you get better results today.

CANCER (June 21-July 21): The best you can do is give a loved one sound advice. It may not sink in right away, but it will linger in the mind as words to the wise.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): The closer you get to locking in an association, the more complicated it becomes. Is this a cosmic wake-up call? You’ll see for yourself in 2 weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): You’re getting close to the tipping point. Colleagues encourage you to proceed, but things could reverse themselves. Slow down and re-assess.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22): Say yes to all invites this weekend. You never know what the Universe might bring. A dreary party could conceal a shining encounter.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Not a good idea to extend yourself when the Moon’s adversely aspected. You’ll feel like efforts are unappreciated. And that’s a recipe for disaster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): You would have done things differently, but if cohorts are decided, then it’s best to stand by them. They’ll be more receptive to tweaks in the game plan later.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): Confrontation isn’t the way to resolve a dispute. Introduce a compromise and the other side softens its position.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): You invite high expectations and enjoy the test of meeting them. Given the magnitude of difficulty nowadays, it’s ok to lower the bar a little.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): A confrontation you were dreading turns into a mild reproof. Accept criticism matterof-factly — then express relief out of earshot.
