Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19) ••••• If you disengage from the conflict and turmoil, answers will appear, but not through the conventional mode. An imaginative friend or creative brainstorming session becomes instrumental.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••••• Togetherness is the theme right now, even if you want to swing a bat at someone. Learn to detach and look at the whole picture. Otherwise, someone might be unpredictable and demanding. Be sure you can deal with that reaction.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••••• Others will work with you if you defer to them. Does that sound contradictory? You don’t always need to let another know that you are master of your own destiny. Being subtle could work far better. Try it out.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••• We all know the problem with all work and no play. It appears at this point – perhaps just for today, just for the here and now – you might need to toe this line. Investigate new opportunities openly. Make no decisions – yet.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• You could unleash a lot of fun and humor if you are willing to walk the untrodden path. You might want to see someone from a different perspective, and with more empathy, you will. Someone might be downright inspirational.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Take your rightful place and forget being bashful. Once you acknowledge yourself, so will others. You easily might feel overwhelmed by requests. Learn to say no. You cannot be everywhere at the same time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Speak your mind but don’t close off other options, or you might be sorry. Keep every door open as a possibility. Refuse to say no to an unexpected offer even if it might stress you out. Think before you leap.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• You might consider tossing logic to the wind in order to do exactly what you want. Ultimately, the end results could be uncomfortable, even if you delight in the immediate experience. Only you can weigh the pros and cons.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• You continue to feel like you’re on top of your game. The difference between now and yesterday is that others have become receptive. Still, someone close might create uproar, but not at the level he or she is capable of. Look at the positives.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• You might want to sit back and listen more carefully to what is being said. You could be blocking another’s words and not getting the gist of what he or she is sharing. New vistas and possibilities open up.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• Zero in on what is important. If you feel that you don’t have what it takes to make something you want happen, do not give up. Think outside the box and be creative. Surprises occur when you are willing to do the unusual.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ••• Your unanticipated reactions sometimes shake up others. Stop and think about it. With understanding, make another approach toward a loved one or associate. You might need to re-establish trust.
