Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coup de grace leaves no trace. Although you may emerge victorious from an intense encounter with someone of very contrary opinions, you might never see any concrete results in your wallet or penny jar.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Nothing could be finer than a problem that is minor. Apply elbow grease to a passing concern and it will miraculously vanish. You appear carefree (and therefore more desirable) to that special someone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Worry works like window dressing. You can’t see what is really behind the glass if you are distracted by the circumstances surrounding it. Don’t let facts be obscured by emotional reactions and sensitivity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mystery can be mesmerizing. You may be drawn to someone or something because you are fascinated by intrigue. Just be sure to dig into the facts to reveal every secret so that you are completely in the know.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Play in your own backyard, but don’t disturb the neighbors. You might not be able to arrive at a viable compromise over principles and ethics so might not agree with everyone in your circle or community.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your personal views are but a fraction of the main attraction. You are feeling a bit friskier than usual and more likely to attract admiring glances. Don’t let this go to your head or provoke you to make investments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Accept what you can’t change, but change what you can. If you make your bed, the fact is that you will have to lie in it every single day. Don’t be too quick to draw conclusions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone might be giving you a come-hither look, accompanied by what is essentially a come-slither invitation. A new attraction is not going to a soul mate or worth risking your present relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be a good sport. Like a bad day at the game of Parcheesi, sometimes it seems that others have joined forces to block your moves. Bide your time and wait until the tides turn in your favor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dreams can come true, it can happen to you. You seem more desirable and attractive than usual to potential romance partners. A new relationship might turn into a money-making partnership.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The subtext is the subject. You tend to read between the lines and act on your intuitions. Sometimes, however, it may seem to others that you are reading your lines from a different script.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It is time to be the hammer instead of the nail. You can direct your life in the direction best suited to your skills and innermost desires. You do not need to be a helpless victim of fate or fortune.
