Horoscope: March 26

Aries (March 21-April 19): You feel compelled to open your heart to those who are very different from you.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You matter in your community, and you’ll have a real sense of your importance to others now.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your respect and admiration are the prizes another person will work for. Your compassion won’t allow you to make this person work too hard.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You don’t have to have much in common with others in the group to be comfortable. If you’re very different from the rest, it only means that they need you all the more.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People are not perfect, though you would like to believe some are. The one you put on a pedestal will eventually have to come down.

Today’s birthday (March 26): This year you’ll feel like you’re starring in your own movie, and the other characters are playing their roles much to your satisfaction.
