HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): It’s time to get serious about a certain property or family matter. But what looks like an open and shut case isn’t. It will take longer than you think.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): Attempts to improve a situation may be futile if the other party is set against it. Be sure you stand a chance before making the effort.

GEMINI (May 20-June 19): Don’t be too quick to quit the scene. There’s a good chance that what looks problematic holds the key to your salvation. CANCER (June 20-July 21): Whenever a colleague says a feat is impossible you find a way to make it doable. This is good but remember it’s the other person who needs to step up to the plate; not you.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): You learn through the grapevine that you misjudged someone. It’s never too late to right past assumptions.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): You’re uneasy taking charge of people who are supposed to be in charge, but a director needs directing. Thankfully you know how to do this discreetly.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 21): You don’t like being dictated to, but if you cooperated then things wouldn’t get heavy-handed. Yield and the other person yields back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 20): You see the fly in the ointment that others can’t. Take this time to figure out a solution so that it’s ready when you hear the telltale shriek.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20): Criticisms sting and you’re close to walking. But is there any truth to them? If so, address it. You’d only recreate this situation elsewhere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): Your insecurities are busy painting worse case scenarios. Put them out of your mind and trust in your creative process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): You don’t like brats — especially overgrown ones. Nevertheless you’ll soon see the last of them so play along for now.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): Being a little hardnosed doesn’t hurt. It makes people appreciate when you’re cooperative. Besides you’ve done all the bending you can.
