Aries (March 21 - April 19)

If you entertain high expectations, they’ll leave early and stick you with the tab. Think simple thoughts and perform basic tasks. Comfort is where you find it, despite its unexpected face.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Insiders recognize one another with only the slightest clues. You carry precious knowledge that others would do well to accept when offered. Taureans have special love for those who can laugh at themselves.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Now that you’ve sunk your teeth into this issue, you won’t let go until it’s resolved to your satisfaction. Strange undercurrents try and fail to pull you off course. Once you succeed, associates will want to know how.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Demands come at you from every area of your life. School deadline pressure pushes against the busy expectations of family. Try not to lose yourself or your health in the middle of all this.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Popularity has its down side. By choosing one, you exclude another. The Moon reminds the world that Leo is mortal and finite. A few humble apologies will complete the portrait with a rosy glow.

Virgo (August 23 - Sept. 22)

Once again, you’re on the winning end of some grand strategy. Both sport and diplomacy benefit from your golden touch. You’re happy to work hard in a field that you love.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

You’d rather work for praise than beg for clemency. Your attitude alone is worth something, but it’s your results that will ultimately tell the tale. Once you stop moving, it may be hard to start again.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Scorpio remains focused on business. With the preliminary steps taken, you’re ready to launch into something more complex. Your best partners are the people who always know what you mean.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

Disconnect your emotions from a difficult situation. Lighten your load as you race toward the finish line. In a few more days, you’ll be able to laugh about this whole thing and be yourself again.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan.19)

Make fresh, new things happen while affirming that which has always been. You feel vital and in control. Leadership is a big plus, although individual action works just as well.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Frantic gestures and wild-eyed explanations go nowhere. Most of your associates would prefer clear directions. For now, Aquarius would do well to let a more qualified person issue the marching orders.

Pisces (Feb. 18 - March 20)

Many people are making promises, reaffirming their faith if not exactly committing. Remind gently without pushing -- your own shortcomings are just as glaring as anyone else’s. Potential is everything these days.
