ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are taking on a lot of responsibility today. You should not be content to manage old agendas and current developments. You have the understanding to set a course to address upcoming developments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You want to be self-reliant, giving yourself permission for constructive projects instead of asking for it. You feel you have reached a measure of skill that you can take the initiative.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A flaw in your ambitions is exposed now. This is the ideal time to begin making a change in your plans or approach. Don't keep trying the same failing tactics. Look closer for the secret of success.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are mindful of past mistakes and use this in a constructive way. You are not very free with information and set realistic boundaries concerning proprietary knowledge and credit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You apply yourself steadily to problems one at a time. When not at work, this is an excellent time to reserve private time and engage in personal reflection and contemplation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Watch out for warning signs that something thought reliable has holes and weaknesses. Pride may make you want to deny it but unless a correction is made there will be a worse recurrence later.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You awaken to the need to contribute a personal resource to society. Some skill, knowledge, financial contribution is necessary to give back and improve the overall welfare of others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You must deal with politics today. You have an agenda to advance but so do others. Defend and argue your case. Try to see where you have common ground or parallel interests to avoid deadlock.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are cracks in your confidence in someone or some process you've considered dependable. This is an early warning; learn from the weaknesses and make improvements or prepare for when the dam breaks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ability to show passion is muted today but your concern for others runs deep. You must make an effort to show people that you bother to go into deep analysis because you really do care.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are on guard about your health now. You take prudent measures to prevent likely problems. Judicious forethought lets you anticipate and avert problems in finances, at work and in health.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Where you feel held back, an opening develops allowing freedom and self-reliance. Tend this opportunity carefully so that, beginning in about six months, you can start to break away and stand on your own.

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.
