HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): It’s hard to say which is harder, the tamping down of instinct needed to resist the temptation your inner animal is lunging for or the consequences of giving in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You think you know what you have, but you really don’t. This is why it will be a delight to hear your admirers talk.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): First you were dazzled by a person’s potential; later you asked, “What did I see in him?” What you wanted to see. Your vision is more accurate with each experience.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): If you wonder if you’re going to make money, it may be an irrelevant question when it comes to pursuits likely to polish your mind and soul.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Context and culture play a huge part in decision-making. Your work goes better when you dive into understanding the values of the people you’re trying to serve.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sometimes you are most helped by your supporters, but more often your competitors and enemies inspire your best and sharpest.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What is painstaking is rewarding, and what is rewarding is painstaking. The pain gives the reward value.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): No one is born with the stuff that will automatically make them popular or rich. You rise to the challenge of creating yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): To bring the vision of your mind into a form that others can see will require trial, error and excellent communication.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll ask yourself the questions that matter. How are you contributing? Who is better off because of your presence? What can you do to step it up a notch?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If people who functioned fine before they knew you now seem hopelessly dependent on what you do for them, this is an illusion and one that’s healthy to shatter.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t forget the part of the productivity cycle when nothing happens. This dormancy is as crucial as sleep.

Today’s birthday (March 4): Your work won’t be easy, but it will be super fun. You’ll be challenged with bringing a group to the future. You’re not afraid of change and your emotional intelligence is off the charts. Financial incentives keep things interesting, and you attract lady luck. Leo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers: 2, 22, 18, 3, 17.
