ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are made to rely on yourself now, mostly because of the difficulty of getting people to help you. There may be an edge or sense of annoyance that puts off people; be more relaxed and inviting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Affection cools off considerably today. You may receive disappointing news. Neighbors and siblings are troublesome or you cannot give them the attention they deserve. You are moved to sober reflection.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A financial slowdown puts a crimp in your plans. You are stuck at home setting matters right. In whatever you do, there is an element of control, pulling back, raising defenses, anxiously stabilizing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are not able to achieve all your intentions today. Travel plans are soured or called off. You are challenged to alter plans to accommodate reduced resources. Emotional enthusiasm is muted.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are prone to lapse into automatic behavior today. You may lack motivation or energy. You need to be reminded of the goals that make you excited and to be encouraged to believe that you can reach them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You must be very careful about whom to trust today. On the other hand, you must not be so rigid and suspicious that people stop trusting you. Be diligent and even-handed about double-checking facts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are prone to shyness now but this is just when you're likely to be noticed and appreciated. Take on the hard tasks and don't take the easy way out. Be sure people know what you've done.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are easily motivated by the threat of external danger. You naturally want to keep what you have and the idea of losing it makes you defensive. Be wary that you aren't being unnecessarily alarmed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are feeling anxious about your community standing or career status. You may be having trouble with insurance or debts. You should take time to review and understand policies and legal documents.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is a strong risk of misunderstanding today. Communications must be very clear and exact. You want to place affection front and center but some other serious matter works to prevent this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are feeling frustrated, perhaps even desperate. You need someone to pitch in and help out, as your efforts are wearing you down. You should pace yourself, out of concern for your health.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Strong feelings of affection cool off today. You put work over love, business over pleasure. Duty comes first, at the cost of quality time with loved ones. Express your love so no one is unsure.

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.
