HOROSCOPE

Venus enters Aquarius with a spark for the social life. Aquarian love is a sort that connects with humanity and lifts it as a group. It’s the feel-good energy in the stadium between concertgoers and sports fans. It’s the rush of a political rally or the awe felt in museums. This transit is more about crowds and friends than romance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Once you start to feel a physical response to stress, it will be challenging to hold your tongue. There is magic in removing yourself from the room and breathing deeply for relaxation, only to return when you’re good and ready.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Presenting your case will be ineffective if you don’t know exactly what your best case is. Practice what you’ll say. Talk it out with a friend or adviser. You’ll learn your best strategy in the exchange.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re looking for opportunity. You will progress because you help others progress. Today you’re in the business of taking every experience for what it has to offer you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The first question is: What do you want? The next question is: How can you make it happen? The best products come out of a desire that you and your friends share.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). “Flighty.” There are bad connotations for that word, but what does it really mean? So someone wants to take flight? What could be so wrong with that? It’s the feeling of today, anyway. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you laugh, truly laugh, you feel good all over. That is why the people who specialize in laughter are the most revered. How can you bring more laughter into your life?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Partnerships are an adventure. If you are willing to open your mind, efforts and heart up to another individual, you can be sure something unexpected will happen. That’s what you bank on now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Women, put your makeup on. Men, tie that tie. As Oscar Wilde wrote, “A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.” In any case, today will require all the pretty you can muster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as fanned-out peacock feathers make a small bird look massive, daring acts may hide great fear. You’ll encounter posturing individuals, and it will serve you well to ask: What is this person afraid of?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’ll see a number of problems in what another person proposes, and you may not want to do business or involve yourself personally in what appears to be a dysfunctional plan. Even so, try to focus on solutions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Shakespeare claimed that some minds are waxen, some are marble. Today you’ll see how both substances have merit, as it will be as useful to be strong as to be malleable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Good music, good entertainment and a very long “ahh” — that is the satisfaction you’ll enjoy now. All other concerns can melt, melt, melt away.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 5). You’ll take both calculated and instinctive risks this year, and they’ll both pay off. Friends connect you with more professional luck in April. You’ll focus on your personal life in May, when someone special will lavish you with attention. Family will honor you in June. Travel in August and November. Aquarius and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 22, 14 and 38.
