HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 19-April 18): Change tactics with a loved one. The toughas-nails approach is wearing thin. Try hand-holding instead. You’ll make more progress.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): A request to pitch in couldn’t come at a more inopportune time. You’re exhausted. However your goodwill gesture is worth its weight in gold.

GEMINI (May 20-June 19): Avoid sensitive topics while Mercury (planet of communication) squares the Moon (planet of the unconscious). You may find out more than you care to know.

CANCER (June 20-July 21): Careful. Miscues are to be expected with the Moon square Mercury. You could wind up turning left when you should have gone right.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): Say “I’m sorry.” Your pride may sting, but your heart will sing at the prospect of tensions melting.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): Rules are being changed last minute and it’s not OK. Quote from the handbook chapter and verse and wily types will mind their p’s and q’s.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 21): Be more choosey about the company you keep. You have a lot of people riding on your coattails and could lose the dead weight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 20): People are abuzz about exciting plans for the future — and your name is on everyone’s lips. Be self-effacing, but keep your ear pressed to the ground anyway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20): You don’t have to leave someone hanging in order to pursue a golden opportunity. You can negotiate something that works for everyone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19): Those who don’t learn from history are bound to repeat it. Review the lessons of the past few weeks because there are two that have yet to sink in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 17): Help is on the way, but it won’t show up until Oct 7. Meanwhile do the best you can. You’ll be amazed by how resourceful you can be in a tight spot.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 18): Someone you had dealings with before makes a reappearance. You didn’t part on the best of terms but you’ll meet again as friends.
