HOROSCOPE

ARIES

(March 20-April 19): Retaliating won’t even the score. The fact that you could act, but choose not to, expresses strength and confidence.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Someone went through a lot of trouble to do you an enormous favor. Thank them profusely and promise to repay them in kind one day.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Your dead end is someone else’s entrée. See what you can do to dovetail efforts. Helping each other out brings mutual gains.

CANCER

(June 21-July 21): It hurts when associates accuse you of being indifferent, but you can’t be effective unless you maintain some kind of distance. Savvy ones have already caught on to this.

LEO

(July 22-Aug. 22): Rules are in place for a reason. Ironically the limits you rail against are the same ones that protect your interests. Find a way to work the system.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re getting better at reading moods. In a world of emails and text messaging, it’s not always easy to read the face behind the words.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A visit with friends or relatives proves insightful. Sometimes it’s the people most removed from the arena who are savviest about what’s up.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be open to peculiar developments. Something from out of left field not only changes the odds, but also promises to deliver a victory.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 20): Nobody’s going to make you do anything you don’t want to do. That said — it’s up to you to make self-improvement a priority.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 21-Jan. 19): No sooner do you receive a lump sum then a debtor comes asking for the same amount. It’s a zero sum game when the Moon’s opposite Pluto. It’s still better than the alternative.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 17): A crisis in the making looks like it won’t materialize after all. Either it turns out to be a false alarm or the dogs will be called off last minute.

PISCES

(Feb. 18-March 19): You are truly realizing your inner potential. Expect to mine more reserves in the weeks to come.
