ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are attracted to idealistic causes in need of activism. You are promoting something with complete sincerity. This is a good time to also deepen your intellectual grasp of what your believe.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are satisfied with less than you deserve. You associate with people who are generally frowned in your normal peer group. Be discerning about whether they might be truly dangerous to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are idealistic and impressionable: a perilous combination. Someone may try to mislead, exploit or pacify you, when you ought to be following your passion and pursuing your happiness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): While you want abundance, in order to achieve it you must clear away clutter. If you want your life to be a garden, then you must first clear out the weeds and rocks. Do that today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can easily see how custom or law is unfairly biased. You are willing to champion the underdog on principle, but this is made easier by having a worthy individual to defend or promote.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You encounter situations involving politeness and tact in issues of right and wrong. You must find ways to be assertive to keep events on the high road, without caving in to peer pressure or bad authority.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are attuned to mysteries but may overlook the obvious. A purist streak in you may override practicalities. You're challenged to meet the needs of real people in practical and beneficial ways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You subtly manipulate the people around you and the social context so that the odds are in your favor. You do not approach problems directly. You make sure you are on favorable ground before making a challenge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Unusual synchronistic events are liable to occur today. When you see an omen, act on it instead of debating whether it's true or not. Your fluid way of thinking does not fit into strict logic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You take matters seriously and prefer to associate with professional or dignified people. This is a good time to impress someone in order to be accepted or promoted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): People tend to be a disappointment today, and you need to be proactive in getting them to live up to expectations or even to their potential. However, set moral limits to the type and extent of your efforts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Patience can pay off, especially if you have also taken the time to study and analyze situations and personalities. You may be involved in committee meetings or other study groups.




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.
