HOROSCOPE

ARIES

( March 20- April 19): Dot all i’s and cross all t’s because willpower won’t do it this time. Do things by the book and you’ll cover all your bases.

TAURUS

( April 20- May 20): A short cut winds up falling short of your goal. Next time you do this ( and you will) go through the proper channels.

GEMINI

( May 21- June 20): No sooner do you receive a lump sum than you wind up paying it out to someone else. It may feel like a zero sum gain but paying down debts puts you ahead of the game.

CANCER

( June 21- July 21): Don’t make any claims that you can’t back up while the Moon is opposite Pluto because the other party will check up on everything you say – and then some.

LEO

( July 22- Aug. 22): Don’t worry if a project or venture stalls. Another element is being added and you need to allow time for this new development to unfold.

VIRGO

( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): It’s hard to stop short of a complete emotional rescue, but your loved one or friend will appreciate you believing that he can do the rest on his own.

LIBRA

( Sept. 23- Oct. 22): Drastic measures aren’t necessary. A reshuffling of the pieces in place provides the solution you’re looking for.

SCORPIO

( Oct. 23- Nov. 21): A customer or client increases the pressure, but you’re in the stronger position. Don’t yield the field when you don’t have to.

SAGITTARIUS

( Nov. 22- Dec. 20): Sometimes it’s not who you know, but how you drop the name. Do it with aplomb and you’ll be the bomb.

CAPRICORN

( Dec. 21- Jan. 19): Don’t be so quick to write off a potential client. This person may sound ditzy, but he still brings something valuable to the table.

AQUARIUS

( Jan. 20- Feb. 17): You’ve been through weeks of fret and worry so you’ll be delighted to see a certain matter resolved promptly and with minimum fuss. Let this be a lesson to you in the future to stress less.

PISCES

( Feb. 18- March 19): A vote of confidence comes in the form of a raise or promotion. It may be more ceremonial than substantial, but it’s flattering nonetheless.
