Horoscopes: Saturday, March 9, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Presentation matters more than usual today. Whether it’s the work you are presenting, what you wear to an event or what you serve on a plate, the way it looks will speak to your confidence and command a particular reaction.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone notices the obvious opportunities, but you see the rare ones. You’ll see the golden opportunity sitting quietly in the corner, not doing anything special to draw attention to itself and you’ll seize it.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Logic has a place in your decision-making, though it doesn’t always have to be in the driver’s seat. There are times when there are simply too many facts to weigh, or worse, not enough. It’s better to go with your gut feelings.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t have to choose between working on your outer expressions, creations and environments and nurturing your inner world because there’s a circle of reflection turning in your favor and all will develop beautifully in tandem.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Adulthood comes with an acceptance of the unpleasant reality that life doesn’t have the same rules of justice as people do. Today you’ll also have the realization that life doesn’t have to be fair to be good. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You welcome what others fear. You expect and embrace the hard work. Complications and politics don’t scare you either. Your excellent attitude puts you in line for financial good fortune.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s no better delight than the ones that happen by surprise. While you can’t plan that kind, you can certainly put yourself in environments where they are more likely to happen.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A relationship will reflect the perpetual tension between intellect and emotion, between restraint and desire. There’s not one perfect harmonious note to strike here. The most effective balance of these forces is different for each individual.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As impressed as you are with some of the people you’ve met lately, you also realize that everyone has different strengths and talents. Between the someone you want to be and someone you’re glad you’re not, there’s you, lovable, just as you are.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Friendships flourish in an environment of freedom, spontaneity and authenticity. When subjected to too many expectations, ties can lose their natural essence and spontaneity, becoming mechanical or forced. You strive to keep things light.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Motivated by past disappointment, you’ll make new choices and get something very right … though perhaps not right away. Be prepared to keep experimenting as you go. With fiery resolve and follow-through, you’ll get there.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be lavished attention because it’s all deserved, earned somewhere along the way, and it’s simply your turn to accept the love you so often give to others. The appreciation will keep coming.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. Your purpose solidifies even as your spirit remains fluid and open to going where you are most needed and loved. Your thriving is guaranteed. More highlights: You’ll take in foreign sunsets and gorgeous views of new people and places. Special friendship bonds develop and relationships sprout in new directions. A group helps you finally reach a goal. Scorpio and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 3, 33, 2 and 19.
