Aries (March 21-April
19) Your ruling planet,
Mars, is coming into
your sign soon. You've
been pensive for the past
few weeks, but you're
starting to feel assertive
again. It's almost time to
start something new, so
do the homework. Use
your brains, as well as
your enthusiasm, this
time.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are strong, but
you're also up against
more opposition. Just
shift into four-wheel dri
ve and get tough. Allow
yourself plenty of time to
reach your destination.
You may not get there
until tomorrow or the
next day, but that's OK.
Better late than never.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Carefully figure out what
^Hieeds to be done before
proceeding further.
Sometimes it's important
to move quickly. Today,
you'll do better if you
check everything two or
three times before taking
action. Let friends go on
ahead; you make sure
everything's right.
Cancer (June 22-July
22) The pace has slowed
down a bit, much to your
relief. You may also be
fa ^feble to find a few people
who understand what
you've been going
through. Get them to
help with whatever's not
done yet so you can
relax.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) It's
quite possible that one
who outranks you has
come on the scene. This
individual isn't saying
much but has a lot of
power. You won't charm
him or her with fancy
promises. Prove you
know what you're talking
about, and you'll have a
strong ally.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You may be able to make
a good deal now. Look
around for what you
want, and when you find
it, move quickly. Get out
there and shop for bar
gains, in big things and
in little items, too. Never
pay retail!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Hold onto your check
book today. Don't let any
body else talk you into
buying something you
don't really need. If the
other person's so hot to
have the most expensive
model, have him or her
write a personal check. If
it's coming out of the
general fund, get the no
frills.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Although it's important
to think carefully, there's
also a sense of urgency.
A co-worker's nerves may
be shot. You're good at
planning, so do that now.
The more you can figure
out ahead of time, the
more successful your
whole team will be.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21) Your workload is
increasing. That's good.
Your income could be
increasing, too. Do as
many errands as you can
over the phone to cut
down on the frantic rac
ing around. Hide out
with a loved one tonight,
instead.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) You've been consider
ing changes to your
home for quite some
time. Well, wrap up your
considerations because
the time for action is
almost here. You'll know
when you can't stand the
way it is one minute
longer. That could hap
pen soon!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.
18) You've been going
through the data a mile
a minute. Now, it's time
to mull over what you've
recently learned. It's like
you've been on a field
trip, collecting speci
mens. Now, you're back
at the lab, and you need
to figure out what you've
got.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March
20) You're quick, and you
may be in the mood to
take decisive action. You
may be tempted to over
spend, too. You're gener
ous, but think about it
first. You'll have more
money for your favorite
charity if you buy some
thing you need on sale.
