Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll feel as if you’re the judge in court with feuding parties trying to convince you of their correctness and the other’s wrongdoing. If you can avoid issuing a decision, it’s advised. Your best role will be neutrality or absence.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You felt free before you knew there are unspoken rules governing this place. You’ll look around and wonder what you shouldn’t say. As long as you’re paying attention, you’ll get every social cue. You’re good this way.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ve learned a lot, and you’re still learning. So what if you have a long way to go? As with all far-off destinations, you’ll cover many, many lands between here and there.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll

be wrestling questions about exactly what and how much you should create, endeavor and endure for the team. And though you’re not a selfish person, being clear about what’s in it for you will help to guide your decisions.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The down time isn’t really leisure as far as you’re concerned. You’re using it to set yourself up for a successful week. You’ll do less than you had planned but more than you’ve done before, so give yourself props!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re not oblivious to the vibes that are zinging around today like some you know. When a person likes you, you figure it out fast. You’ll manage the attention well, too!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Adaptability is one of your strong suits, but be careful with your bendy ways. Maybe your way really is best for all. If you believe this, you’d be doing the others a disservice by depriving them of your strong stance.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Power can present itself in numerous guises, most notably in a gracious, soft-spoken voice. This is the strongest way power will show up today; its requests and warnings are best heeded.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you dare to follow a different road, it will take a great deal of courage, trust and a willingness to be different. But it will still be easier to do this than to try to turn an old situation in a new direction.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When is the right time to be assertive? There may be no perfect moment to request the thing that’s going to make the situation better for you, but the longer you think about it without saying it the more awkward it will get.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You love humanity, and right now you are likelier to become interested in a whole series of people for platonic and intellectual reasons than you are to settle in easily with just one person.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When you delve deeply into a hobby and take steps to move to the next level of proficiency, this may cost you. However, ultimately your relationship with money, work and/or your body will improve as a result.

Today’s birthday (March 5): It’s a solar year of greater options. You’ll thrive where influences are varied and vibrant. This is the happy month for wrapping up projects and getting paid. You’ll start anew in April. Dabble first; not everything should be pursued to its conclusion. Research and learn this summer. You’ll make an inspired financial move in July. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 22, 28 and 46.
