HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): Sometimes it’s better to play a card than to hold on to it. It puts things in motion and gives you a clearer idea of what’s up.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): Pay attention to what’s said today because conflicting statements could wind up filling in the gaps of two people’s stories.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20): Being held back may be a godsend. There are still a few things you need to master and relearning them will take you to the next level.

CANCER (June 21-July 21): Do something you wouldn’t normally do today. And if you can make it a little clandestine, then that would make it all the better.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): In the past few days you’ve gone from unconvinced to a fuller and deeper understanding of events. Now it’s time to put that insight to good use.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): It’s clear that you’re going to have to take a stand — even if you feel like you’re stepping out of line.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22): Not everyone can translate abstract concepts into easy to grasp terms like you can. Show off your special talent today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Moon trine Uranus is an excellent time for clinching the deal. And if you haven’t a deal to clinch, then maybe you should go out and find one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): A decision made in your favor is sudden, but working out the consequences will take considerably longer. Don’t let this detract from the fact that you won.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): There’s always an alternative even if you think matters are fait accompli. Review options with a confidante and you’ll soon find your way out of a tight corner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): The action you’re contemplating could make you unpopular, but if you believe that it’s for the best then you need to see it through.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): You could discover the solution to your dilemma at a moment’s notice. Be ready to write it down quickly because you could forget it just as fast when the Moon trines Uranus.
