HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): The gurus suggest we drop all this suffering, but their methods are often confounding. And besides, there are bits of it that might have something to teach.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re about to hit a breakthrough in one area of your life, and other parts of your life can’t help but be affected.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Assume you’re not going be rewarded — that recognition won’t come and neither will money. That way, anything good that happens from this will be a bonus.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today you’re a bit like a shop owner who falls in love with inventory and wants to hang on to the best stuff even though it’s marked to sell.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): No one’s opinion of you will matter today. Focus on the energizing

activities and people while avoiding the drains. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dependencies come in different shades. It can be difficult to tell the difference between the toxic kind and the kind that helps you have a good life.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’re trying to complete a picture that would be pretty simple to nail down were you not blindfolded and dizzy.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You will find yourself cobbling together new theories based on new information that has come to light.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Take your time in answering. You have all the time you need for this one.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s not just that you’re doing something right. You’re doing most of the things right, and that’s what’s behind today’s excellent push of progress.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Which is the thing to do:

hop to attention and try to fix it, or make a joke and shrug it off? Whatever you choose, you’ll be setting up an expectation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Be careful not to volunteer without thinking. Will you get a return on your investment? Today’s birthday

(March 10): People will work extra hard to make you smile. The next 10 weeks bring the completion of a project, followed by a new direction for your main work. Leisure isn’t what’s going to fulfill you, unless it involves hitting challenging goals and maybe some competition, too. You’ll bring a vision into reality in August. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 22, 2 and 15.
