YOUR horoscope
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, March 11, 2017:
This year you tune in more to your intuitive ability. You often feel torn between two different ways of responding to situations. Note what occurs when you pursue one course, as opposed to the other. Equipped with that information, you will make better choices. If you are single, you might find yourself hopelessly in love with someone. To make this bond work, try to be more realistic about this person. If you are attached, you often make up tales in your mind about what your sweetie might be up to. Try to stop this behavior by being more realistic, and you both will be happier. VIRGO understands you well.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You’ll note an edginess in your interactions today. You might feel that this erratic behavior is coming from others, but in some way you could be triggering those around you to be reactive. Your imagination tends to get carried away. Tonight: Don’t expect to be the leader.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Your imagination will be difficult to contain. Ask yourself why you would want to do that, though. You’ll seem almost childlike to a loved one. Your vulnerability becomes obvious, but others find it to be an endearing characteristic. Tonight: All fun and games.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You could get bogged down in some details that seem to be hindering you from making a longdesired change. These issues are not stopping you; instead, you are stopping yourself by making them a reason to avoid taking risks. Tonight: Entertain at your place.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be more aware of what you need to offer to someone you care a lot about. When dealing with finances, know that some numbers could be distorted. A partner seems unable to be realistic about money. Be a cynic, and you will be most helpful to this person. Tonight: Join friends.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
On some level, you refuse to see someone’s negative traits. Perhaps you are attached to the image you have of this person. That is all well and good, but you might be setting yourself up for hurt. Try to be more realistic. Listen to friend’s comments. Tonight: Accept an invitation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You could be somewhat perturbed by what is going on in your immediate environment. There is an element of deception and/or confusion. You know you are not being given the whole story, but it will be up to you to find out more. Tonight: Worry less about a touchy situation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Emphasis is on friendship right now, specifically with someone who tests your patience at times. Once more, you might need to make a necessary adjustment. Note if you are becoming resentful toward this person. If so, be less accommodating. Tonight: Where your friends are.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
No matter which way you turn, you can’t seem to get the response or the information you need. You might be exhausted by this process. A roommate or family member is likely to have a suggestion; listen to it, but know that you don’t need to take it. Tonight: In the spotlight.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’ll want to reach out to a friend at a distance. You could be stunned by what this person shares. It is possible that you will have to think about his or her words for a while, as they might have been chosen for their impact and nothing else. Tonight: Read between the lines.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You might be tired of having to straighten out a never-ending money issue. Ask yourself what you need to do in order to make sure you are not jinxing yourself. A discussion with a friend could prove helpful. Tonight: Let someone else reel you in to his or her way of thinking.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might not be as aware of the details of a personal matter as you would like to be. You could be missing a major aspect of the situation. Do not allow a close friend or loved one to intimidate you. Just the same, make no accusations. Tonight: Just let the night unfurl.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, March 12, 2017:
This year you often have difficulty making up your mind. You can debate the pros and cons of a situation endlessly. You see value in different approaches and different solutions. Your charisma is high, and you draw people from all walks of life toward you. If you are single, you are likely to not want to commit for a while. You might love just dating. If you are attached, your changeability could be viewed as a gift by your sweetie. Remain sensitive to your significant other’s wants and needs. VIRGO often challenges you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You might feel as if you’re being pulled in two different directions. You’ll want to stop in your tracks and make a decision about what you would like to handle at the moment. Choose to respond only after you have thought things out. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You might have planned to dedicate your day to a loved one. Know that you have little choice in what the two of you do. It seems as if you have made an agreement to visit a friend as well. Juggling both of these plans could have you feeling tense. Tonight: Use your ingenuity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Home is where the heart is, yet you have so much happening on the domestic front that tranquility might not be possible. A loved one or dear friend becomes unusually quiet once more. Do not push this person past his or her boundaries. Tonight: Stay as close to
home as possible.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You have a lot on your mind. Whether consciously or by accident, you’ll start to spill the beans. News from a distance helps you to detach and see the big picture. Indulge someone who is a very loyal friend. Tonight: Greet a change with excitement, though expect a little confusion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Use caution with all financial matters. You could feel pushed by a close friend to make a purchase that makes you uncomfortable. Initiate a discussion, and also be willing to say “no” -- if you don’t take care of yourself, who will? Tonight: Meet a friend at a preferred haunt.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your energy remains high, but it has a nervous quality to it. You might feel cornered or overwhelmed by a situation. Lady Luck could push you in a different direction altogether. Stand your ground, and you’ll make a good decision. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You have a strong sense of direction, and you know what it means to make a statement and then move forward. You can be incisive and clear, if you so choose. Generally, though, you tend to be rather vague. If your opinion differs from someone else’s, say so. Tonight: Make it early.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Don’t get caught in an either/or situation. You might feel as if you need to make a choice between a friend and a loved one. The less said, the better. However, you could feel the need to say “yes” to both parties. Stay on top of any emotional confusion. Tonight: Have a barbecue.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You could be feeling cornered by an older friend or relative. Your sense of what is appropriate to do is likely to emerge. You might be wondering what connects you to this person to the extent that you feel you must do as he or she says. Tonight: A must appearance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Think before you leap into a situation that might force you to detach or change. A trip is a possibility, even if it’s just to meet a friend for lunch halfway between your two locations. You’ll have a unique opportunity to change direction. Tonight: Return several long-distance calls.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You could be pushing a loved one too far. Know that this person is likely to have a strong reaction. Perhaps you feel as if you can’t do enough to please him or her. A friend will drop by to share what he or she perceives to be a difficult matter. Tonight: Don’t argue about who is right.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might feel as if you have the right response to a situation; however, a close friend or loved one could have a very different perspective. Keep trying to find a point of agreement. Recognize what is worth fighting about and what isn’t. Tonight: Defer to your significant other.
