Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19) ■■■■ – You might try all you want to make a point to a spendthrift friend, but you will not succeed. In fact, you might catch his or her penchant for spending. Steer clear and focus on projects.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ■■■■■ – Your imagination knows no limits, but on the other hand, it could trip you up with someone you would like to impress. Know when to express your good ideas. Remember, being practical is one of your sign’s gifts.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ■■■ – Sometimes you need to think before you leap. Make this thought your motto of the day. As tempting and alluring as certain ideas and people might be, the right word is “no.” A little self-discipline can save the moment, if not much more.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ■■■■■ – You say the right words, and people act. Still, be careful about lassoing funds when it involves your friends. You might want to play it conservatively. Let someone else express the depth of his or her caring.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ■■■ – If you listen to others right now, you might find yourself picking up the pieces of what you thought was a good idea. You need to find experts before leaping in any direction or making any choices. Your daily routine needs to take precedence.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ■■■■■ – You have reason to smile, and smile you will. Invariably, you hit a problem with information you hear and what your reality is telling you. Some investigation on your part could end a problematic situation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ■■■ – You could be uncomfortable with what someone proclaims as the truth and only the truth. You might not want to burst another’s bubble. Subtle is the only way to go.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ■■■ – Think before you leap into action right now. Others might push way too hard for what they want. Knowing when to say enough is important. Use diplomacy right now, as others could be more touchy than you know.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ■■■■■ – Investigate what someone means before reacting. What you believe is on his or her mind could be a lot different from reality. Observe a tendency to act like a bull in a china shop. You know what works.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ■■■■■ – You can see much more than others. Simply don’t cave into a risk. The only answer is no. You will be happier ultimately if you relax and detach. Creativity bubbles up with some perspective.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ■■■■ – Others don’t always understand where you are coming from. What you might need to do is become more verbal and direct. The end results could be excellent. You could be feistier than you are aware of.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ■■■ – Others might not realize the impact of their words, and you of yours. Rather than generate hurt or problems, take all the time you need to think, and you will come up with answers. Others dominate.
