ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is tension between older duties and newer opportunities. In many ways, you must choose between the past and future. Ask yourself where you want to continue living; the decision comes to you suddenly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are working against situations inhibiting your action. For some, the brakes are external; others have to fight their own internal censor. You must endeavor to match assertion with control.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can be self-defeating if you don't cultivate a positive attitude. Dissatisfaction can come out in cruelty, perhaps verbal, perhaps even physical. When met with suspicion, try to overcome it with trust.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your focus is on the people immediately around you, with whom you want to develop good relations. It's important to have harmonious feelings and activity around you but beware the allure of exciting gossip.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are apt to consider yourself better-qualified than others but feel unable to assert your case. You're challenged to put yourself forward on your merits but not to tear others down. Seek a chance to try.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You feel the need to acquire better things for yourself to make living easier. You're apt to feel dependent on others to get them, however. You're challenged to be more self-reliant on a permanent basis.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Career opportunities or job advancement seem stalled. You make breakthroughs by considering alternatives instead of being satisfied with the options you've already chosen. Break impasses by making new decisions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have an exaggerated sense of your own ability or of others' inabilities. You are feeling defensive and must work to overcome suspicion and replace it with trust and cooperation, especially at work.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are willing to accept a lower position than you think you really deserve. You're willing to tough it out until you have earned the place you think you really deserve anyway. You're able to put up with a lot.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are caught up in the stories of others' lives and may thus pay little attention to living your own properly. Take stock of yourself and ask how you can contribute socially through wisdom and fairness.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A personal scandal can erupt today. You're challenged to hold on to control even as events threaten to take it from you. Expect to be taken down a peg, as authority is redistributed more equitably.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You use the personal touch to get what you want. You use charm more than reason to get on people's good side and make them receptive to your wants. You're able to communicate emotional needs very well.
