ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Give the best first impression
possible when others are forming opinions about you. Manipulate the outcome by using facts and figures to defend
your views.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Silence is golden. A few ill-considered or impetuous words
could set off a hailstorm of
trouble. Be kind where loved
ones are concerned.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Just this once, spinning a yarn
could be to your advantage.
People may boost their opinion of you if you speak from
the heart.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
You’re a “people person” who
enjoys lots of friendly interaction. Welcome spontaneous
ideas, as they might have a lot
of merit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re
at the top of your game when
dealing with others on a oneon-one basis. Grab every
chance to wear your heart on
your sleeve.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Bending over backward to
please others could put you in
an awkward position. A special
someone is not drifting away
but engrossed in a project.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Evade conflict by refusing to
be drawn into arguments or
debates. Keep your own council and wait for better timing to
make key decisions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Accept the fact that when things
are broken down they require
repair or replacement. Your
biggest successes will come
from keeping an open mind.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Your ideas may be challenged, but you have ample
ammunition to fight back and
defend your views without
giving offense. Seek wise advice from those in the know.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
If you’re in too much of a hurry
to make changes or demonstrate your independence, you
could make a crucial mistake.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
That nagging feeling that
something hasn’t been done
might stem from a hidden desire to let your creative juices
flow free.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Try
tactfulness. Impetuous actions
at the wrong moment could
result in unpleasantness or put
a strain on relationships.
IF SEPTEMBER 18 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Emerging opportunities in March and April will
point you in a new direction
that will enhance your spiritual well-being and enrich your
pocketbook.
