ARIES (March 21 to April 19):
Although you're getting kudos and
other positive reactions to your sug-
gestions, don't let the cheers drown
out some valid criticisms. Better to
deal with them now than later.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20):
Following your keen Bovine intuition
pays off, as you not only reassess
the suggestions some people are
putting in front of you, but also their
agendas for doing so.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20):
You continue on a high-enthusiasm
cycle as that new project you've as-
sumed takes shape. You're also
buoyed by the anticipation of receiv-
ing some good news about a per-
sonal matter.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22):
Your eagerness to immerse your-
self in your new assignment is un-
derstandable. But be careful that
you don't forget to take care of that
pressing personal situation as well.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): This
is a good time to learn a new skill
that could give a clever Cat an edge
in the upcoming competition for
workplace opportunities. Enjoy the
arts this weekend with someone
special.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22):
You could risk creating an impasse
if you insist on expecting more from
others than they're prepared to give.
Showing flexibility in what you'll
accept could prevent a stalemate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22):
Although you can weigh all factors
of a dispute to find an agreeable so-
lution for others, you might need the
skilled input of someone you trust to
help you deal with an ongoing situa-
tion of your own.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21):
The good news is that your brief
period of self-doubt turns into a pos-
itive "I can do anything" attitude.
The better news is that you'll soon
be able to prove it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec.
21): This is a good time for Sagit-
tarians to start making travel plans
while you still can select from a wide
menu of choices and deals, and not
be forced to settle for leftovers.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan.
19): Like your zodiacal sign, the
sure-footed Goat, you won't allow
obstacles in your path to keep you
from reaching your goal. Don't be
surprised by who asks to go along
with you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.
18): Let your head dominate your
heart as you consider the risks that
might be involved in agreeing to be
a friend's co-signer or otherwise act
as his or her backup in a financial
matter.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20):
Prioritize: Resolve to close the door
and let your voicemail take your
phone calls while you finish up a
task before the end-of-week dead-
line. Then go out and enjoy a fun-
filled weekend.
BORN THIS WEEK:Your capac-
ity for care and compassion helps to
bring comfort to others.
