ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It's hard to convince others to go along with your suggestions. Rely on yourself; be resigned to the fact that if it's your idea, then it's your responsibility. Start slowly and with a plan in mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have difficulty distinguishing between saving and hoarding. Think of your situation more as a decision between investment and obtaining what is essential. You have difficulty feeling fun and pleasure now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Excess caution, or even pessimism, can make you fail. You need to be bold and assertive to even begin to get your way. Your strong points include exactitude and attention to detail but don't be excessive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It's vital to monitor your thoughts and cancel any pessimistic notion that arises. You can succeed if you believe you can and you will fail if you believe you must. Address deep psychological issues.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lack of finances is holding you back. You need to cut back, scale down, hold off. You must strategically arrange expenditures so that you have enough for now and seed money for later.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are more aware of your failings than of your strengths. You must rouse from inertia, doubt and fretfulness. Analyze situations so that you see how to overcome difficulties.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are unduly prone to suspicion, even paranoia. You need to gain certainty that not everything is about you. Do everything with a clear conscience so there can be no justifiable accusation against you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You tend to reach for less than your true potential. You may think you are deepening experience, refining expertise, but you are probably really only holding yourself back. Try for advancement.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are too willing to lend others the authority you should assert for yourself. You must learn to argue and barter, not meekly accept. At worst, don't give someone the opportunity to tell you no.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are challenged to do more with less now. You need to rethink strategies so that you can be comfortable. Pare down on excess and think of ways to be efficient without feelings deprived.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When it comes to expressing your feelings, you think too much. It's hard to be spontaneous but it's worthwhile to put your feelings into carefully crafted words without making it sound forced.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your freedom of action is curtailed now, as you must respect obligations or bend to another's recommendations. This is a learning period, both of what is right and what is wrong.

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.
