HOROSCOPE
(March 22 Wednesday)
High-Energy Sun High energy and trust mark these first days of Aries sun. Each day, we put our lives in the hands of unseen people, trusting in a society that follows certain rules and upholds certain standards. We cross bridges and get in elevators. We flow with traffic and agree in commerce. Human decency is the thread woven through the fabric of society.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whether or not your position is official, you and all around you sense the same thing; you’re a leader now, and you’ll press on with confidence (that you may not actually feel) to show others the way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today, all speaking will be public speaking, or at least you should consider it as such. Stay on point. Even if you’re only telling one person, craft your message as you would if it were being broadcast wide.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Another one of those trials that test your mettle will be featured. Sure, you could do without this interruption of routine. Then again, since you know that the conflicts and inconveniences are what keep you on your game, you’ll gladly take it on.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your water-sign nature will be amplified as your feelings flow with what’s around you in a way that feels as destined as the river that rushes over obstacles and cliffs to get to the sea.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Letting go of worry seems harder than it should be. But you crave a peaceful, easy feeling, and you’ll have it. Whatever it will take to align yourself with the highest and best in your nature, you’ll be willing to do it today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you used to think of a certain person as your adversary, but things have changed. You’re not working at cross-purposes anymore; maybe you never were. You’ll be partners in seeking a solution that’s a mutual win.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You got the feeling you were doing the right thing, and that intuition will prove accurate. You will have sublime success if you stay on this course. All you have to do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and continue on this path.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be visited by a ray of hope, or rather, you’ll be heartened by the ray of hope that was always there, just hiding behind some cloud cover for a while. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are many difficulties and challenges in the creative process. There are fears to overcome, skills to acquire and risks galore. Yet, in the end, it’s creating that brings you the greatest joy and satisfaction.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If just one person feels more loving and accepted today because of you, you’ve made a difference in the world. And if that one person happens to also be you, it still totally counts.
Much will be requested of you. Just because it’s doable doesn’t make it reasonable or advisable. Stand up for yourself. Don’t accommodate others at the expense of your own comfort and well-being. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Blaming another is a waste of time. Blaming yourself is also useless. Think in terms of cause and effect. You can find a quick solution when you skip the emotional baggage that comes with blame.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 22). You’ll hear praise from many corners over the next 10 weeks. You’ll be asked to join a person or group in an arrangement that excludes other options. Think carefully; take your time. Lifestyle upgrades happen in June and September. Because of new influences your work takes a different direction in July. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 44, 42, 20 and 14.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “My best friend, a Libra, has a tendency to blow me off every time she meets a guy she likes. Last year she called me only once in six months because she was busy with a boyfriend she was head over heals in love with. He happened to be extremely controlling, too. When they broke up she called me every day. Now she’s dating someone new and the pattern is repeating. How can I tell her that it hurts me the way she shelves our relationship whenever it’s convenient for her? I’m a Scorpio.”
Actually, the way you just put it is perfect. And given that you’re a truthful, cut-to-the-chase Scorpio, there’s probably no better way than to just come out with it. You have nothing to lose, since you already lose your Libra friend whenever she gets busy with her beau. Yes, it’s natural for relationships to change as circumstances change. Also, Libra, which is strongly associated with partnership, tends to give everything in love. But Libra is also the sign of balance. You might remind your friend that spending a little time with her girlfriends will keep her love life balanced and real. It also gives her beau an opportunity to miss her and realize that she has a life outside of him.
