Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19) ““““ By the afternoon, your playful personality emerges. Whether playing a game or working on the art of flirting, a good time is had by all.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ““““ Reach out for someone at a distance. You might have difficulty understanding a roommate or family member. Closing down might not be the solution, any more than fighting it out is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ““““ You might think that what you need to spend is mandatory for a key item or event. Pull back and take another look. Often you, like all people, go on automatic. Reach out for others this afternoon.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ““““ Use the morning for what remains close to your heart. As hard as you push, you might need to let go of the idea of finishing a project. Use the afternoon to indulge a bit and relax.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ““““ Snooze all you want this morning. By the afternoon you will be a force to be dealt with. Others see the change in your personality and energy. You have the power to accomplish nearly anything.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ““““ Friends surround you. Whether at a meeting or at brunch, you notice the many special people in your life. Spend quiet, special time with someone you value. This act within itself communicates a lot.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “““““ Responsibilities call early on. Clear out what you must do in order to feel free when you join your friends. A movie, a game of softball or talking over a meal all could work. Just be with those key people.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ““““ Know that no one has to follow your lead. Think positively about what needs to happen. Take a stand if need be. Others respond to your efforts.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “““““ Once more, you have an opportunity to relax and not be on center stage. A long-overdue talk makes you and others smile. Isn’t it great to clear the air?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “““““ Others certainly have strong ideas, and you are about to hear them. Listen, but resist giving opinions. A question or two might be helpful. A key loved one or friend wants time alone with you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ““““ Peruse the newspaper this morning. By the afternoon, you will not have the same privacy and quietness. Others clearly want your attention and time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) “““““ Express your kidlike and joyous side. Others delight in sharing this energy. By the afternoon, you might be calmer and ready to share a hobby or play a favorite game with someone. Enjoy and relax.
