ARIES (March 21-April 19): Accentuate the positive. Take advantage of the upbeat mood around the workplace by oozing with charm and good cheer. Shortterm or temporary arrangements may be better than long-term commitments.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Nip it in the bud. Avoid letting tiny mistakes escape your notice by paying careful attention to the details. Lady Luck is on your side, so there’s little harm in taking a small chance on love today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): United we stand, divided we fall. Strengthen your position by gath- ering allies and creating a cohesive unit that can weather any storm. Don’t be surprised if former competitors now want to consolidate.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stay within your boundaries. You may feel your position isn’t strong enough to win support without stretching the truth. Talk is cheap but you could face embarrassment when confronted by facts.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Place your trust in tested wisdom. An experienced adviser has all the answers you need if you ask the right questions. Hold off on long-term projects right now; short-term goals will yield better rewards.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t believe everything you read. Take sources into account when faced with new information to avoid acting on something that isn’t true. Be supportive of a loved one’s endeavor but also be realistic.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow your head, not your heart. Avoid letting emotions getting the best of you. Acting on impulse is likely to cause a stir. Make decisions in a calm, calculated manner; remember it’s business, not personal.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Think about what you’re saying. An inadvertent slip of the tongue could reopen old wounds or give the wrong impression. Keep conversations on the light side and steer clear of deep discussions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Give a little to get a little. It will be easy to seal the deal with a tough customer if you show you are willing to compromise. Stay alert; there may be a tendency to hear only what you want to hear.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take the time to think it through. Don’t be pressured into making a decision or entering an agreement when careful deliberation is required. If the other party can’t wait, then the answer should be no.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Nothing of value comes free. You can count on a friend to come through for you. Just remember that they may expect the same of you shortly. Encourage those around you to perform at their peak.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t be selfconscious, sensitive or suspicious. Not every comment is a veiled insult nor is everyone out to get you. Employ a casual approach in social situations and breaking the ice will be much easier.
IF JANUARY 10 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: A combination of vision and street smarts help you succeed in love as well as business during the next several months. Anything the mind can imagine can be accomplished if you stick to your guns. Late March and early April could be the best time to make financial decisions or changes to your financial affairs. In mid-April, you could be distracted from duties by an affair of the heart or set off on a wild goose chase, so hold off on putting crucial plans into motion until early May when your judgment is better and other people will watch over your interests. You can also choose to wait to launch key plans in October when lucky stars are on tap for you.
