ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Confusion is likely, so if it happens, don't recoil in horror. It's nothing to be afraid of, really. It just means there are more options than you realized. Simply choose and keep on choosing, until you get it right.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 5
Schedule a romantic interlude for later on tonight. You'll have a busy and somewhat stressful day. Plan something for later that's soothing. Comfort food definitely recommended. A wee bit o' rum is optional.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 8
A clerical job may seem menial, but it's actually very important. You can do it quickly, where somebody else is confused. Help this person out cheerfully and you'll make another lifelong friend.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 5
Don't argue with a person who only wants to be obeyed. There will be a better time for you to offer suggestions. It might work if you can make this person think it was his or her own idea. It's risky; take care.
HOROSCOPES
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 8
Any way you can get out of town with a few of your favorite friends? If not, could you manage a foreign restaurant for lunch? It might sound funny, but conditions indicate those activities will bring you luck. Besides, they'll be fun.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5
Your wise financial management is attracting attention. If you're working with other people's money, this is natural. They seek your advice and they lean on you, maybe more than you'd really like. You do have a natural talent, though. And you work at it.
Let your partner carry the load for a while, and even do the driving. You'll be more comfortable tagging along on this trip. If you have someone nearby who wants to make the decisions, allow him or her to do that. It'll be fine.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 9
The job's not easy, and you're not going to make as much as you thought. Be very careful with your spending; it'll make a big difference. You don't need a lot of stuff to make yourself look good. Do that with your attitude.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 5
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
A partnership agreement made now should turn out well. Trust your intuition in this one; it should be right on target. Relax and enjoy the rest of the day. You've accomplished something already.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5
Make your home more comfortable; it'll make a big difference. Put all those pizza boxes into recycle, with the plastic cups in the other bag. You might even make a couple of bucks on the soft drink bottles and beer cans.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is a 9
You're getting motivated, even passionate. The material you're studying leads to a brand new world. Have you found the cure for some exotic disease? If not, why not? No, really, it could be something that big. Keep at it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5
Fussing around your place is your best entertainment option. Put just enough money into your project to get yourself going again. You're very creative but sometimes even you need a little boost.
