HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): Sometimes when you’re driven by the need to excel, you can miss out on the simple pleasures. Just because something comes easy doesn’t make it cheap.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): Shooting down suggestions isn’t the way to convince people that you’re being open-minded. That can only be done by listening.

GEMINI (May 20-June 20): You face a steep challenge, but if anyone can make the most of limited circumstances – and to dramatic effect — it’s you! You’re more resourceful than you know.

CANCER (June 21-July 21): Are you treading on thin ice with a superior? It’s good that you’re starting to act more independently, but watch your step.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): Doing what you do best all the time isn’t always wise because you risk typecasting yourself. Take time to explore other sides of yourself as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): Look before leaping to conclusions today. What you interpret as a snub could simply be an oversight on somebody else’s part.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 22): The best way to mend a rift is to look for common ground. The fact that there was a time when you were once in complete agreement proves it was there in the first place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Familiar answers have grown threadbare after years of wear and tear. What you need are some fresh solutions. Shop around for some.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): You won’t like having to tell a certain knowit-all that he was right all along, but do it. It’s a small price to pay for good advice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): Don’t worry about getting everything right on the first try. The only false move you can make would be to act before you’re ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): It’s only an ultimatum if you answer it. Say you’ll respond soon and then wait. You’ll quickly see an opponent lose his nerve.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): You’ve been sitting on a lot of resentment and it’s starting to show. You need to speak up before you go ballistic.
