Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, March 12, 2012: This year emphasizes communication. When you sense that an interaction might be off, detach and look at what the other person might really mean. You will get better at clearing up misunderstandings. If attached, learn not to take everything your partner says personally. If single, others find you very attractive. Go with the flow. Libra demands one-on-one relating.

A baby born today has a sun in Pisces and a moon in Scorpio until 11:53 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You might need to reveal more in a conversation than you normally do. Remember, it is your objective to help someone understand a decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Defer to others and open up. Confusion weaves its path. Slow down, and don’t make quick assumptions or decisions for the next few weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • Your ruler, Mercury, starts its backward dance, signaling that it is time to slow down and approach life with more awareness. Avoid commitments during this time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Just when you thought your timing was perfect to talk to a boss, parent or other authority figure, you discover otherwise. This person could be acting a bit off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • You are called upon to use your insight. If your personal and/or domestic life is not as you would like it to be, your professional or public life could be affected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Communication could be off. Repeat a seemingly controversial sentence to its author so that he or she can hear it, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • Money is essential to living, yet you might find a problem concerning your finances. This problem could involve a partner, if you are not careful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • You might want to be more aware of your expectations. A partner or friend could disappoint you in the near future without intending to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • You might decide to say little, as you pull back and do some important thinking. Others seem to be unusually flaky or difficult.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • You know what you want, but somehow, even if you verbalize just that, it is misunderstood. Tap into your inner strength.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • You feel as if you must jump through hoops to achieve your immediate goals. Use sensitivity when dealing with others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Detach from a confusing situation without blaming anyone. With some distance and a lot of discussion, you will understand more.
