ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your worth and talent get recognized and called on today. You are intense and creative now. You benefit in money and competition but your health can be a weakness. Don't overstress your body or emotions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You feel strong bonds to your spouse and family. Your whole world seems to center around them. While this may make it hard to relate well outside the close circle, there may be little need to do so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It's hard to do what you want, as many people are using guilt to manipulate you. Develop a clear idea of what you want to do and don't let people maneuver you into doing otherwise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You want to uplift people out of the ordinary and be the best they can. It's important to choose your approach carefully, as negative attitudes are inconsistent with your intended results. Stay positive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This is a good time to take the initiative, especially at home. Talk about situations that are substandard. Don't be too concerned about being seen as offensive; people will appreciate positive intervention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are at the center of schemes now. People work with you indirectly. This is a good time to make up your own mind and disregard suggestions that originate elsewhere. There is more manipulation than help.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The answer to confusion is motivation. You need to clarify what you want to achieve today and go for it. It's very easy to lapse into bad habits, so don't take the first step.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You want to take charge today, perhaps because the time is right, perhaps because no one else is. You are basically fair but are driven to achieve results while getting everyone to pull together.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Expect to encounter a lot of melodrama today. People's buttons are being pushed and they're trying to do the same to you. Keep a calm and thoughtful head despite the push to panic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Opportunities open and the possibilities seem endless. Insist on taking the path of deserving what you get; beware of quick fixes and easy money. You are challenged to maintain integrity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A lot of public attention focuses on you today. Expectations are high and you must rise to the occasion of trust and authority. After careful research, exert your strong personality and charisma.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Relationships become unstable and confusion takes over. Expect a lot of argumentation to get through indecision and uncertainty in the face of the need for action. Well-laid plans are best.

These interpretations are based on the aspects and positions of the planets in relation to each sun-sign. They indicate the general mood and issues of the day as you experience them. Be creative in applying your forecast to the actual circumstances of your life.
