ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Even though you feel in control of people and the situation at hand, it's not a good idea to let this show. Be subtle in how you handle disagreements; let people think that your solution is their idea.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are caught up in a sudden frenzy of activity now, as a new project gets underway. There is an intensity to your action, as if you can't wait to finish, but in reality you can't wait to get started.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are trying to find the right plan of action for success or for a promotion. You can't get quick results because you have to learn by trying different approaches. Don't get angry or frustrated.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Where there is a sharp split into opposite camps, you can apply negotiating strategies to bring agreement. Apply the personal touch to improve moods, let people see how they can cooperate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): While you are highly motivated and energized, you must take care that you are aligned with high purposes. There is a very great danger you are giving in to dark passions and extreme negativity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are easily dismayed by failure but instead of being stuck in it you need to look ahead at how to do better. You may benefit by writing down the story of what happened; correct the narrative flaws, then live it out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are trying to live up to the demands of career (which is unduly burdensome) and domestic issues (which seem more pressing). An unusual approach, an unexpected solution, satisfies all concerned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Educational opportunities open up; do not delay in get started on them. Any newly developing situation has a freshness and vibrancy you will long remember and, perhaps, treasure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sensitive psychological issues arise now and you are challenged to deal with them internally before you blow up at the people around you. Monitor your moods carefully: They change quickly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are trying to integrate into a large group of people. Your interests and theirs don't entirely mesh as you're challenged to maintain independence while working where the ideals are compatible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A passionate idea can seize you and throw you off course. You must struggle to maintain a fairly normal life without becoming a crackpot. Think through what can be sustained over a long period of time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You encounter problems so long as you cannot face up to reality. Break the cycle of dashed expectations. Make fewer anticipations in your mind, learn to laugh at yourself, look closely at how things really are.

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.
