HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19). The thing that’s going to solve the problem is simply to press on. You may be educated, strong and talented, too, but those things don’t make so much of a difference today as does dogged determination. Taurus (April 20-May 20). If there’s something interesting to be found in the situation, you’ll find it. Gemini (May 21-June 21). When ideas clash in your head, sometimes your stomach or other areas of your body will be affected, as well. Sorting it out in your head will help the rest get sorted out, too. It takes time, so be gentle and patient with yourself. Cancer (June 22-July 22). For so many, listening is no different from waiting to talk. They are missing out. You’ll have to work to overcome their attention deficit today. When the information is important, you’ll need to repeat it about five times. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). The question will arise as to how competitive you should be with the people around you. If you’re passive and congenial, it’s no fun. But if you’re overly intent on winning, it’s worse. Be mindful and playful and it will all work out. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t underestimate the power of small groups. Even a group the size of two can accomplish much more than a group the size of one. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Doing what you’re supposed to do is hardly ever enough in the world of being you. You’re all about the extras. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have control over how many new things you’ll try, and this is a fine time to try quite a few. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Instead of wondering whether you should give someone the benefit of the doubt, set up the situation differently so you have less at risk and the other person has a better understanding of how to prove worthy. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just as soon as you start to get the hang of one thing, you’ll be tempted to jump into the middle of another interesting endeavor. Hold back. Think it over. Better to master the first job than to chase every new intrigue. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Alone time is precious, and you shouldn’t spend all of it doing diligent work. Goof off. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Follow your whim. If it brings fast fruit, your life is immediately sweeter. If it doesn’t, you’ll still be richer for the knowledge. Either way, you’ve progressed. Today’s Birthday (March 26). An abiding sense of belonging is your cosmic birthday gift — and one you don’t take lightly. You make sure people are better for knowing you, richer for working with you, happier for loving you. April features a restructuring of your priorities and schedule. May brings physical revitalization. July brings the money. Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 14, 39, 10 and 15.
