Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, March 18, 2011: Remain optimistic and forthright this year. Often you might want to take off and not deal with certain situations. You can also choose to not respond, and opt to not run away. If single, you might meet more suitors than the mind can imagine. Choosing the right one takes talent. If attached, work on understanding and mutual respect. Choose to accept rather than fight. Virgo can be challenging at best. A baby born today is a Sun in Pisces and a Moon in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Focus on details, and don’t skip any steps. When you finish up and look the weekend in the eye, you will feel good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • You are encouraged to go within and become more creative. No matter what you approach, you revitalize the situation or a project with a more innovative sense.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • Remain centered, no matter what goes on. You are able to see a child or new love interest perhaps in one of his or her most negative lights.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Say what you feel, though it could be difficult to get the words out. You might be hard-pressed to find the right words.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • No one can undermine you like you, the Scorp, undermine yourself. Stop! Center yourself; take a walk. A meeting could be more instrumental than you realize.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • All eyes look to you, forcing your hand. Take a stand, and someone might quickly detach and no longer be a quiet supporter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • Stretch mentally and see what is happening with someone else. You can never really relate to someone until you come to a more complete understanding of what that person goes through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Others could steal your thunder. That type of behavior could be most upsetting. Go forward and gain a better understanding.
