HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 19): Cool your engines or you could commit to something now that will leave you shaking your head later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You probably signed that petition just to get a friend off your back, but now you feel inspired and like you want to get involved. Good on you!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Today’s balloon display of swelled heads and inflated egos borders on the hazardous. Refrain from any piercing remarks. There’s a lot of hot air and it could get explosive.

CANCER (June 21-July 21): You need to raise the bar because you won’t get more by settling for less. This is one of those times when you have to push yourself.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22): That “new direction” that everyone was gung-ho about is in danger of being watered down. You need to hold their feet to the fire.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re tired of playing a role and want a change, but don’t walk out on the part you made your own or people will walk out on you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What was supposed to be a short visit or quick assist is turning into a nightmare. Set a deadline — like maybe the end of next week?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Conventional wisdom says walk, but don’t. The Stars will do an about face and you’ll be at the head of the line instead of the back.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): You have people’s undivided attention thanks to today’s Moon/Jupiter trine. Don’t let the moment pass. Tell them what you want and watch them hop to it!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19): Hold it! Don’t sign that contract or agreement just yet because you’ll soon receive a competitive offer. It’s your turn to keep the other party hanging.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 17): One advantage to being surrounded by outrageous personalities is safety in numbers. Another is you’ve lots of people to hide behind if things get out of hand.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): You know when something’s right, so just act on it. Don’t worry about explaining. You’ll be vindicated by next week.
