Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get down to brass tacks with paperwork and those small details. Use self-discipline to handle responsibilities and intelligence to plan carefully before make sweeping changes. Friends can help you succeed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your closest companions are adept at uncovering hidden information and may share confidential data with you. Workplace pressure may cause concern. Wait patiently for trouble to blow over.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Maintain a positive outlook and look on the bright side. Your contacts could be focused on business, not pleasure. Stressful situations and concerns about a significant other may hamper your progress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are on the right track. You can benefit from the benevolence of others, but this is not the right time for new starts. Well-wishers can bring you advantageous information but shelve it for future use.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are mentally adroit and can ferret out secrets with little effort. Even if you see an opportunity to profit from news, it is best to delay taking action for several more days. Gather knowledge for future use.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Circumstances may conspire to place you in a questionable position. You may feel pressured to take action on a financial matter, but it is not in your best interests to make changes or new starts right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you feel boxed in by circumstances, it is time to invest in a box cutter. Although it is usually against your nature to take drastic actions and disturb the harmony, there are some things you cannot tolerate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Moody loners could turn you on, but the feeling is not likely to be reciprocated. The intense atmosphere is better used for keeping a lid on confidential information than for digging up more secrets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your nose may be out of joint from being pressed too firmly to the grindstone. A list and organization can speed up progress. Your less dedicated companions can offer comic relief.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is the thought that counts. You may think that a gift or joke is in poor taste, but you understand what provoked it and can be understanding. Don’t react harshly if someone tries to boss you around.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your affectionate mood may fade by tomorrow, but that happy sparkle in your eyes might prove helpful when dealing with the public. Capitalize on your appeal where career and business are concerned.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Hard work is its own reward. If you are focused on doing what needs to be done, you won’t be tempted to chase after pipe dreams and lose momentum. Stay in tune with your loved ones for the best results.
