Astrograph- Thursday

Hard work will eventually pay off. Don’t get discouraged if others appear to be moving forward at a much faster rate. The sturdy groundwork you are laying will bring higher rewards as time passes by. Stay focused on your own accomplishments, not on what others are doing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) :

Confusion will set in if you let an emotional situation get in the way of what you are supposed to be doing. You cannot change how others think or feel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) :

Personal gain looks promising, as long as you are fair in your assessments and in how you treat others. High-pressure situations will require courtesy and accuracy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) :

Don’t give away private information in an emotional rush to counter someone’s innuendoes. Remain calm and secretive until you gather the facts and consider the consequences of your actions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) :

Taking a business trip or getting away with an enjoyable someone will lead to positive developments and a chance to improve your lifestyle. Don’t rule out romance.

Keep your personal thoughts and plans a secret. The less anyone knows, the easier it will be for you to get things underway without interference. Use your imagination.
