You're a great help to others this year, especially financially. Better get your own money in order early so you'll have time to take care of somebody else's. Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6. HOROSCOPES You're hot, but are you being sensible? Don't let frustration get the better of you. Patience is a virtue, but it also is an acquired skill. Practice. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7. Finish a domestic chore that you've been postponing. This might be nothing more than something you have to talk about. Once that's done, you'll feel much better and be more in the mood to cuddle. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7. You'd probably rather go play with your friends than take care of your duties at home. This may not be such a bad idea, but this weekend there's no escape. Well, you might get to relax on Sunday. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7. You may be a little edgy,but try to maintain a cool demeanor. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8. News from far away gladdens your heart after raising some doubts. Don't be sidetracked by your worries. It looks like everything turns out well. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7. You're pretty sure you're right, but you're getting a lot of flack. Luckily, you have friends who help you stay on a difficult path. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Today is a 6. You're kind of between a rock and a hard place, the frying pan and the fire. If you can't please everyone, endorse the team that's digging up the truth. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8. You're busy, but are you efficient? Can you honestly say you're making the best use of your time? Get coaching from a Virgo. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Todav is a 7. You're working to high standards now, and that may be inhibiting. You do have a couple of people who understand you perfectly. Let off steam to them even if it means making a long-distance call. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Togav is a 7. Is the mess at home of your own making, or is it the result of too many visitors? Either way, it'll have to be cleaned up before the weekend. You'd better get started. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6. You're a natural scholar. You're thorough and intense. But the subject you really should be studying is your own financial security. Make sure you have plenty. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7. Work smarter instead of harder to get the rewards you so richly deserve. Manual labor isn't always required to get money. Let them pay you for your good ideas.
