HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your mind seems to be focused on everything except what is happening right around you. A subtle jab from a friend might jolt you and bring you back to the here and now. Don’t let yourself be challenged by some confusing communication. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Zero in on what is important to you. A financial matter could be of major importance. Know that some dissension is OK, as it forces you to rethink your logic and understand the other party’s. Questioning conclusions will bring better results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Take the lead on a major project. Others respect your ability to pick up information and present what you have gathered. An associate might be more challenging than you had anticipated. Fatigue could be a major player in this situation. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Gain a new perspective of what is going on around you. You might sense some type of surprise or an element of the unknown. Fatigue could have an impact on an associate and how you deal with him or her. Be aware of others’ needs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You could be out of sorts when dealing with a new friend. Try to neutralize your energy and gain a better understanding of where this person is coming from. You have been swallowing a lot of anger, which can pop up at any given moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could feel challenged by others; you might be surprised by what they share and by the words that they choose. A close friend or family member seems withdrawn and uptight. Listen carefully to what this person has to say. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You know when to stop and change direction. Others might be acting in the most unexpected way. These instances of unusual behavior seem to surprise you each time they occur, but they are happening more and more regularly. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Follow your instincts. You’ll be more pleased if you allow your intuitive side to dominate. You are likely to discover areas of your life where you might want to be a little less logical and a little more spontaneous. Listen to a few different perspectives. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) When you greet someone with a big smile, more often than not, the same is returned. Though you might be negative about a certain situation, you’ll try to loosen up and be more upbeat. Doing so could change the scenario completely. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You hear news that could force you to stop and think. You obviously did not count on this event occurring. Was there a miscalculation in your thinking? Remember that hindsight is 20/20, but you can prevent this type of problem if you see the indicators. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

An unexpected yet exciting tone seems to flow through your day. A casual get-together could transform into a fun event. Try to reduce some of your stress by going on a long walk or by heading to the gym for some exercise. PISCES (Feb.19-March 20)

You have a lot of ground to cover. A child or new friend could disrupt your schedule, but only because you want to give this person some extra time. A boss might assume that you are not giving a work-related matter enough time. Be careful.
