HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): Chickens come home to roost today. If you’ve been upfront then you’ve nothing to worry about. Otherwise start the damage control now.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): You may be forced to share unflattering truths. Remember to include a spoonful of sugar to help make the medicine go down.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20): An important fact or last minute communication gives you the bargaining chip you need. This bolsters your position and ups the ante.

CANCER (June 21-July 21): Tell a friend you know s/he means well but what you need right now is constructive criticism and not someone harping on your faults.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): You’re under no obligation to run to the rescue — especially when you were treated so shabbily. Let just desserts be served made to order.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): You’ve yet to resolve your differences with a former boss or client. No one’s saying you have to, but it would be a good karmic cleanser.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22): Venus square Pluto means that you will be held accountable for your past actions. Hopefully they’re something to brag about and not to be ashamed of.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Better to remove that thorn from your side than let it fester. That person leaving today needed to be shown the door long ago.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): A friend’s words of wisdom begin to sink in. They stung at first, but now you see this person means well. Call her up and thank her. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): Does fear of success lie at the root of selfsabotaging tendencies? Don’t shoot yourself in the foot when you’re about to cross the finish line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): Rise above the fray today. There will be a lot of backbiting and finger pointing but ultimately it doesn’t concern you. Treat it like background chatter.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): It isn’t easy when loved ones squabble but try to be supportive without choosing sides. Trust that they’ll work out their differences.
