HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 19-April 18): There may be problems, but it’s better to address them as a team player than as an opponent. Get yourself back on the right side of an issue.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): Claiming that you’re the wounded party won’t convince anybody. Owe up to your side of the debacle and others will owe up to theirs.

GEMINI (May 20-June 19): Don’t take on anything that you can’t put down at a moment’s notice. A lot of crazy stuff is going on and you’re having a helluva time keeping all the balls in the air.

CANCER (June 20-July 21): The carrot didn’t work, so get set for the stick. Sometimes the only way that you will act on your own behalf is when you are forced to.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): It pays to doublecheck and you’ll be glad you did when you discover that a colleague has been asleep at the switch.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): Live in the moment. Don’t let your abandonment anxiety make you hold on too tight or push away too early. S/he might stick around.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 21): It’s ironic that you’re the one trying to prevail upon a wishy-washy type to make a decision. Nevertheless this role reversal is why your message will be heard loud and clear today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 20): Don’t overreact to someone’s brusque statement. You can chastise if you want, but rising above it is more classy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20): It may feel like time to hold back. Actually, it’s the opposite. Take advantage of the general confusion to make inroads.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19): Your break with convention is more radical than you think, but it isn’t reckless and you’re ready for the next big step forward. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 17): A lot of things are being turned on their head right now, so take care of what needs to be dealt with and leave the details for later. PISCES (Feb. 18-March 18): It’s tempting to call it quits, but persevere. Starting over from scratch is old hat with you, but building on what you have is something new.
