HOROSCOPES

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Look at what you can accomplish instead of dwelling on obstacles.

ARIES March 21-April 19

Handle peers and family with compassion and understanding. Personal growth will bring satisfaction, criticizing others will not.

Control your emotions when dealing with matters that can affect your position, status or reputation. Do your own thing, and give others the same right.
