Work interferes with your travel plans, but there's no need for dismay. An unexpected assignment or two could add bountifully to your treasures. Put in the overtime while you can, and schedule your playtime for later. HOROSCOPES Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7. There's frustration as you discover things aren't yet quite as you want them to be. Nobody said the task would be easy. Call in an expert for advice. Although you'd rather snuggle this morning, that may not be an option. There's too much noise, or something else is calling you to action. Better take care of that first. Today is a 7. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6. You ought to be in a pretty good mood even though your life's complicated. You've got enough love and almost enough money. Don't obsess about what you lack. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7. Continue to slog along diligently, and check the things off your lists. Pay a bill that will go into red alert soon if you do't. You hate it when that happens. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. Tempers are short, and the tension could be high. There may be an argument about the best way to proceed. Although there's a lot at stake, it won't help to act without a plan. Settle down, and help the others devise one. Turn down an invitation to an event you can't really afford. No need to feel embarrassed; your true friends will understand. They value your ability to stretch your money as much as you do. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 6 Your attention to detail is bringing you points, profits and status. Don't get impatient if this takes a while. You're building up a reputation. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7. Some of the rules you've recently set for yourself are about to be tested. Even though you're busy, can you protect your free time? Sure you can. Show you tough. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Todav is a 7. Your studies detract from something else that you're supposed to be doing. Continue to improve your skills, and it'll become easier to do both well. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6. All of a sudden, everything seems possible, and yet you're not sure. Is this a magical moment or an illusion? There's some of both. Watch out.
