ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are generous with your help today. Your advice is often friendly and wise. People value your ideas, and you can benefit also from being around people with a different background and a slightly different way of looking at things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are involved in business transactions today. You are liable to take it easy now, but instead want to work hard and forego pleasures in order to push matters forward. You spare no one, not even yourself, in order to win out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You need relationships which operate on many levels. You want emotional warmth and intellectual stimulation. It's important to feel that certain connections are having material benefits in wealth and status.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have a sense about work distribution that seems unnecessarily harsh. What seems like fair distribution to you seems like impositions to others. Don't take on more than you can handle alone, if possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Improve relationships by increasing the amount of playfulness and respect. This is a good day to relax and have fun yourself. You learn best when the topic is made interesting through both entertainment and relevance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a strong chance of moving forward and being successful now. With a secure base to fall back on, you can be more assertive and take risks. Even if you lose, you have recourse to fall back on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You want to be free to do as you will, or to learn what you want. You dislike restrictions on freedom of action and information. You have little preparation for dealing with read tape or misleading people.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are too concerned with looking good, so that you have difficulty admitting errors or that you need help. This sort of pride could work against you; the image you create gets harder to correct the more you persist in it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You want to be fair and raise everyone to a better level. There may be friends who want to feel special to you, however, and they may feel left out. Otherwise, many people feel happier for your being around.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You could be expected to take it easy today, but you have your sights set far ahead. You are able to build toward a foundation for distant goals, such as retirement, or an ambitious venture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are feeling very goal-oriented and ambitious today. Your leadership qualities are strong, and you're able to bring people together in a common purpose. You're able to improve the general emotional atmosphere.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are feeling very aggressive and take steps to keep yourself on top, or else to put yourself there. It's very important that you have an ultimate purpose in mind beyond grabbing power.

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.
