HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Work demands may make it hard to spend quality time with your favorite person. Unless you change your priorities, the pressure will mount between you and your companion. Looking forward to an upcoming trip will strengthen your bond.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

False premises about achievement can prevent you from realizing your true potential. Develop your own definition of success. You may prefer a life of leisure while others opt for their career. Or it’s possible you would fare better single than in a committed relationship.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

The weight of financial obligations could be bearing down hard. Working on a commission basis can result in a tremendous income boost. It could help you pay all your bills and have enough left over for some luxuries — it’s a matter of building your selfconfidence.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Issues at work may be causing you great distress. Rather than giving your power to this situation, turn toward a relationship that gives you joy. Your happiness will no longer be contingent on your job. Instead, you’ll know that everything always works in your favor.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Unpleasant conditions in your daily routine may be getting under your skin. At times like this, it’s important to remember that what you focus on expands. Concentrate on aspects of your job that please you. By replacing every critical thought with an appreciative one, the situation will get better.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Putting your responsibilities aside and devoting more time to hobbies today will renew your zest for life. Your newfound joy will spill into other areas of your life including your job, making even the most difficult tasks easy to perform. An optimistic outlook goes a long way.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

A sense of responsibility toward family may be keeping you from pursuing your own ambitions. Your dedication is admirable, but you can’t always make other people the priority. By putting your desires at the top of your list, you’ll feel a sense of exhilaration today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Dwelling on mistakes will make it harder to realize your true brilliance. Whenever you wince at a memory of an unkind action or silly remark you made, forgive yourself, and vow to do better next time. The most effective self-improvement programs start with small changes.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Your progress may be delayed today, which is frustrating. Instead of doubling your efforts to resolve this matter, take a step back. Retreating from public view can be therapeutic today. Once you recharge your batteries, you’ll be in a better position to handle any challenges ahead.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Don’t allow a lack of confidence to diminish career prospects. Thanks to a powerful work ethic and impressive leadership ability, you have already surpassed the competition. Instead of getting down on yourself, take pride in your progress. Talk to an encouraging friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Entertaining your worst fears won’t solve anything, so put your energy into adopting an optimistic attitude. Think about the happiest people you know. Model your behavior after these positive examples, and a fabulous job in your industry may soon arise.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Comparison is the thief of joy; stop measuring yourself against a highly successful friend that you envy. Even if you’re in the same industry, you are on different paths. For you, it may be necessary to undergo additional education or training to attain the mastery you desire.
