HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Work can go well for you at this time — if you allow it to. You might have a lot of good things going for you, but somehow all you see is the other people you perceive as holding you back. Be careful, because playing underhanded games to get ahead is likely to backfire on you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

You may have a lot of ideas for improving your home and family life currently. Try to own these proposals as things that resonate with you personally rather than portraying them as things that must be done because an authority figure said so. Talk honestly about your own experiences.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

A situation where you share money or other resources with someone else could be complicated by mixed messages at this time. Start by taking the opportunity to ask the other person openly and directly for what you need. Other options could be more rewarding for you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Someone else may have a big idea for how you should spend your money. Before you give in, think through whether this person has the right to demand that. This is a good time to get clear about what belongs to you and not others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Financial matters may feel more comfortable than usual for you at the moment. Especially if the money connections you have with others are in a good place, you might feel like you can spend a little extra on yourself. Don’t work your way out of your legitimate responsibilities.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

There could be someone you want to get to know better. Whether this budding connection is in the domain of friendship, business or anything else, making the first move can be scary. If you can give them a genuine compliment, they may be more willing to engage than you thought.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You might be more engaged with your larger social network than usual at this time. When you pay close attention to what is going on in the lives of your friends and acquaintances, unfortunately, jealousy can creep in. Be careful not to take this peer pressure out on your family.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

If you’re stewing because you think you asked for a raise or other desirable item at work that you didn’t get, you might want to review how that interaction actually happened. Did you use your words when you made your request, or did you just drop hints?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You may be very passionate about your view of the world at this time, and it could really upset you if others don’t see things in the same way you do. Devoting your energy to improving the foundation of your personal life is more likely to bring lasting success.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You may be holding something important back today, particularly in a negotiation over a shared resource, to protect yourself. While you might not be able to avoid collaborating with others, you can push yourself to get better at telling your side of the story.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

The energy of other people in your life could be strong at this time, and you may feel like you’re reacting to what they do rather than driving events yourself. If you are tempted to be financially generous, while giving has its own pleasures, it cannot fix a situation where you are not getting your needs met.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

The exchanges in your relationships may feel comfortable. You might, however, be reluctant to raise concerns about practical issues and disrupt the harmony of the moment. While a lot of work can wait, some frustrations are better talked out right away than suppressed.
