ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Recent disappointments are the catalyst for new plans. You develop new ways, new approaches, without abandoning idealism. At the moment, you are non-confrontational but hardly passive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It's important to keep energy circulating. If sedentary, have some moderate exercise. Situations that are stuck or at an impasse must be remedied quickly lest pent-up energy break it clear.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A common tragedy or sorrow binds you with another. You can provide solace and perspective. Maintain an idealistic and positive perspective, even though you don't have all the answers.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You seek out what's new and unusual. You have a clear view of what is established yet no longer workable or sustainable. You're ahead of the curve in recognizing problems and seeking solutions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are drawn close to people out of common interests and common associates. Friends of friends come into your life more strongly today. A condition of dependency makes you value self-reliance more.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Friendships and other relationships could be on the verge of breaking up. However, personal differences actually hold you together more than they drive you apart. Tolerate personal quirks and idiosyncrasies.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have many ideas that need to be tried out. Don't be discouraged by failures but learn from them. Your basic motivations must always be foremost.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You enjoy traveling about and gaining experience. Something you encounter may be worth writing about. You are looking for some event that gives you sense of newness and aliveness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your personal life is in a state of agitation now. You need to pay attention to it for resolution, lest it undermine the rest of your life. It's important to allow changes to reach a new state of stability.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep negative opinions and comments to yourself. People need your help, not your sarcasm. Pitch in a help resolve a situation; your assistance can make a great deal of difference in the outcome.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You feel a sense of destiny calling you. It's a good day to get in touch with your sense of ambition and with your personal goals. You have expanded ability to create your desired future.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You need to try being more predictable. Live up to your promises. Don't do anything that would create a reputation for unreliability. Personal problems affect your public behavior.
