HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 20-April 18): An innocent request could turn into a major headache. Be sure you’ve got an escape clause before saying yes.

TAURUS (April 19-May 19): Just because the matter is out of your hands doesn’t mean you have no say. A colleague or client is all ears as long as you make a compelling case.

GEMINI (May 20-June 19): The theme of the day is take what you need and leave the rest. It may sound slightly rehabilitative, but considering recent spending habits — it’s not a bad idea.

CANCER (June 20-July 21): The trick isn’t in finding a solution everyone can live with; it’s identifying the one thing they can’t live without.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21): Double-check to see if there isn’t an ulterior motive for a sudden about-face. Last week this person wasn’t so agreeable. Something’s up.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 21): What you thought was a done deal — isn’t. But leave that loose end dangling. It’s someone else’s problem now, not yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 21): Two heads are better than one. Be open to a colleague’s input. S/he may see how to turn an obstacle into a stepping-stone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 20): This could be an enriching time if you’d tear yourself away from your money woes and focus on your creativity instead. Your artistic side has a lot to offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20): There’s more going on in your home life than rearranging the furniture. What’s unfolding is the next stage of your life. This is a serious step forward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 18): Don’t introduce a change that’s too radical. Make a slight adjustment so that it’s new, but familiar, and you’ll get the support you’re looking for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 17): You’ve worked such long hours that you forgot all about the money you’ve been making. Treat yourself to an impromptu spree.

PISCES (Feb. 18-March 19): Fortune takes a circuitous twist when a misunderstanding brings you and a certain someone together. Don’t be in such a hurry to clear it up.
