HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): Your first reaction is to protect your own interests at work, but it’s better to stand together as a group. Colleagues are more united than you think. TAURUS (April 19-May 19): It’s been a long and bumpy 2017. It may be hard to believe, but everything will get straightened out between now and your birthday. GEMINI (May 20-June 19): A close friend is making a habit of volunteering you for tasks you didn’t know about. Nip this in the bud before it goes any further. CANCER (June 20-July 21): A cutback or demotion feels like the final indignity, but it will pave the way to a brighter future. Everything comes up roses in the spring. LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): Check those stocks and bonds, because they’re going up in value. You can also look forward to a bonus. You have the Midas touch today. VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): Plumb emotional depths. You’ve been living in your head for too long and you need to give your heart equal time.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 21): Friends are used to seeing you vacillate, so your new decisive side is surprising. It’s OK. They’ll warm to it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 20): It’s the perfect time for mergers and acquisitions, but you don’t have to be a CEO to enjoy it. Get together with a crush and make your own power lunch.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20): The guy who asks you out today may not be the same one who walks you home tonight with Jupiter near Venus. Just have a viable excuse ready for when he calls.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): Don’t feel guilty about jumping ship. You can’t help it if your boss took you for granted while a competitor sees you in a different light. AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): You aren’t popular with the old gang nowadays, but new friends welcome you into the fold. Who knows? Some familiar faces may follow your lead.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): Have you met your Soul Mate? Don’t be so sure. Venus is conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio and you could discover a couple more souls to mate with.
