HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): What you’re doing is out of the ordinary, so expect trouble. But sentiments will change. Be ready for when people try to claim your success as their own.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): Ask loved ones how they plan to make good on promises because they’re under the impression you’ll help out. Disabuse them of that notion now.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20): You face an onslaught of criticism, but that’s because rivals see that your star is on the rise. Don’t let them diminish it.

CANCER (June 21-July 21): You get a lot of conflicting advice, but can see the truth to what everyone says. Take a little from each and you’ll glean what to do.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): Acquaintances believe they’re entitled to some of what you have. They aren’t. But find a polite way to let them down gently.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): There’s more to playing go-between than parroting what people say. You’ve had a chance to size up their personalities and can now speak your mind. LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22): Despite all the angling and backbiting, colleagues truly want to see the best person win. Prove that you’re that person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Loved ones undergo tense times. Don’t add to the fire by telling them to get over it. Letting them vent is no skin off your nose.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): Charm and persuasion is the way to go. Others want more aggressive action, but you know it’s better to win people over than to force the issue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): Things aren’t as dire as thought. But it’s to your advantage to let people believe they’re teetering on the edge. It makes them more cooperative.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): In your effort to be fair, you’re shortchanging those who gave more while rewarding people who didn’t. It should be the other way around.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): Expecting people to forgive differences is unrealistic. But listen to their complaints and you begin to see how you can bridge the gaps.
