Your Horoscope

for Friday, March 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Use tension as an energizer. Decide to clear out as much as you can. You seem to tackle projects with a fervor rarely seen. By the end of the day, you’ll walk into the weekend with a sense of completion. Know that arguments could ensue. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might have to defer to another party who clearly does not share your views or your style of communication. Avoid a confrontation at this moment, which might be easier to do than you realize. You know the power of the waiting game! GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your playful attitude allows you to say what others would not even consider. You could find a loved one a bit combative. Listen to your instincts, which might be to run the other way. Try using your charming ways to change the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your ability to defer to others could save a project. Others will follow your lead. Use your high energy to follow through on calls and emails. Allow yourself to feel that sense of completion more often. Finally, you can relax. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) While others seem to be negotiating their way to the weekend, you experience a sense of exhilaration by deciding to christen the weekend now. Use experience and care with how you call it a day. Remember, there could be repercussions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Stay close to home. If you can work at home, all the better. You might need to handle a financial matter that has several implications. Curb a fit of anger or frustration that heads in your direction by tapping into your self-discipline.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Not everyone shares your point of view. Take charge, and make a point of listening to others’ various responses to a difficult situation. Honor a fast turnaround of ideas and events, even if you might not be comfortable with every detail.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Remain direct with others, especially if the topic is money management. You most likely will learn a lot not only about the topic, but also about those around you. Their attitudes about this particular matter easily could reflect elsewhere. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Use your ability to move past the obvious to help others loosen up. An element of stress runs through the day. Fortunately, you can deal with irate friends and perhaps even a loved one who is on the warpath. Tap into your creativity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to change the tone of the day by choosing to go for exactly what you want. Your sunny personality remains, but you are thinking in terms of developing a plan toward success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Meetings remind you of a friend whom you have not spent much time with. Do not hesitate to get on the phone and make plans with this person. Indulge your impulsiveness, and you’ll see how it much frees you up in other areas of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll find that many people around you are a bit scattered, especially when dealing with outside influences. Avoid any discussions involving funds. Expect someone to share a problem that you will have wished you had never heard.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (March 9) This year you open up to many new and exciting adventures. Be aware of the ramifications, though, especially financially.
