ZODIACAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR TODAY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a need for compromise and negotiations. While you feel helpless about that process, you may have done something to make people see that it's necessary. Go along with it and take an active role.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You benefit by being trained for better performance, perhaps even as preparation for promotion. Some may need to initiate the process, or do it outside the auspices of the workplace.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are in a position to look after the well-being of others. You must be fair and attentive, even with people you don't like. You can improve the mood of all by being helpful to all.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your ability to give full attention to work is hampered by domestic issues. Something at home has continuing repercussions that you must constantly deal with, or else it creates distractions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It feels as though the available facts are constantly changing. You are challenged to grasp the essential meanings instead of trying to absorb all the details. Trends, not static facts, are vital.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You enter into a competitive situation; you tend to negotiate on behalf of others or with the well-being of other uppermost in mind. You need to sway decisions so that the general welfare is a priority.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is an emphasis on bridging differences today, especially within the family. For some, the family model serves to help bring people together for discussions and negotiations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are too analytical about relationships today. Your ability to understand people can be amiss, or your efforts too obvious. People don't like being under the microscope without their permission.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Positive changes can occur if you allow a well-meaning person guide you to a different direction. Let yourself come under a benign influence or mentor. Change should be intentioned, not random.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ingenuity is required for today's challenges. It's necessary to think of the well-being of the people concerned, not just the procedural requirements of your job or of policies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have strong ideas about how to implement changes you can connect ideals with facts, but you may have a little trouble connecting the results with people and their actual needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Rearrange your financial situation now. Some adjustments are necessary, and with a sufficiently informed overview you can alter habits of spending, saving and investing.

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.
