HOROSCOPES
Today’s Birthday: You are perceptive and sum up people quickly and accurately. This gift helps you surround yourself with the best and brightest in the year ahead. Next month brings a windfall. You will rise in prominence in your community. What’s good for your family in 2014 will ultimately be good for your career. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are 4, 20, 14, 9 and 7. Aries (March 21-April 19).
You love fun people, but not every job is best handled by the colorful characters to whom you are so attracted. Trust the work to someone steady, responsible, loyal and hardworking. Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Sometimes you dream of making a killing in an area of business different from the one you’re in. Today brings an opportunity to get a closer look at what this would really entail. Gemini (May 21-June 21).
You’d like to believe that everything will go your way now that the obvious obstacle has been cleared, but expect to do a bit more maneuvering. You’ll take off very soon, just not yet. Cancer (June 22-July 22).
The end of the day definitely will be better than the start. Stay optimistic and positive if you can, but if you don’t naturally fall into that kind of a groove, don’t worry about it too much. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Today you’ll be inspired to treat everyone like family. Of course, family members are often the ones who see the full range of your personality — the very good and the impatient, too. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You can accept that not everyone likes to try to be in a good mood. (Yes, there are those who actually prefer misery!) But you don’t have to hang around those people and let them bring you down. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
What good is having a remarkable power if you don’t use it? In your defense, it’s possible that you haven’t discovered what your power is yet. Today’s events will point you in the right direction. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’ll need to be patient. One practical action will not bring you the total results you want, but it will lead to the next practical action and the next until you get there. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t wait for other people to be spontaneous or you’ll wait forever. Being the fun one is your job now! You’ll show initiative and have more than one follower. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You need to get more information, and yet you’ll alienate your sources if you attempt a full-on interrogation. Step back and imagine the gentle approach that will get someone to open up and trust you. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
“You think of everything!” That’s what they’ll say today when the details of your careful preparations are revealed. What they don’t know is how long it takes to pull off this kind of planning. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
When you fall in love, you fall deep — so deep that sometimes it’s hard to know whether it’s really love or a kind of obsession. Either way, you can take your intense feelings and turn them into some kind of art today.
