ZODIACTION POINTS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Important goals get off to an exciting start today, marked more by enthusiasm than realism. Enjoy your dreams for a better future now, but get ready to face the difficult, perhaps routine, realities soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You want to make an important difference today, and you are able to use your authority to make it so. You are apt to slip into control unnoticed, so let it slip from you just as easily when the need has passed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There is tension over how things should be run today. Keep the moral high ground, both in your position and in your behavior. You are challenged to engage in politics effectively and ethically.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You feel an allure in relationships today. Self-awareness can clue you in on the powerful subconscious triggers making you act so compulsively, and perhaps against your own interests, in love and money.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't be too ready to make concessions today. You are too agreeable and may overlook important implications and fine print. Look before you leap and don't be afraid to get guarantees spelled out in writing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take a step back from asserting yourself and seek to serve others. You can find your own complaints are miniscule next to the problems of others. If you are in litigation, you may be due for generally good, but mixed, news.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are challenged to keep a high opinion of the possibilities while dealing with the varied mix of personalities you must meet. You must be the flexible and adaptive one, without pushing expectations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You feel you have achieved as much as you want now and are overdue for a rest. You may be getting good news regarding a car or your education, if these are issues for you now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are challenged to maintain tranquility and composure in hectic circumstances. People will notice if you are participating while staying calm. They can draw strength and inspiration from you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You want to enjoy the good things money can buy, but you are apt to lose sight of the need for continued effort to earn more. It's too soon to sit back and relax, especially if your spending is up.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are apt to imagine the best for no good reason today. Actively encourage people to live up to high ideals, but forgive them when they fall short. You must pick yourself up and try again.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your idealism can get the best of your today. Sensitivity to the ugliness of the world can get to you unless you maintain optimism. You must bide your time to make positive changes now.

These interpretations are based on the aspects and positions of the planets in relation to each Sun-sign. They indicate the general mood and issues of the day as you experience them. Be creative in applying your forecast to the actual circumstances of your life.
