Horoscopes: Thursday, March 12, 2020

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No one can give another person confidence, but you can certainly be a springboard for another person and provide the kind of lift that invites the spirit of success.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As long as you have your phone with you, you’re never alone. Creativity and vitality spring alive as you disconnect from the digital world for a spell and reconnect to your inner world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel like an actor today cast in the role of “the expert.” It’s a common feeling that you wouldn’t be having if you were deluded. You know enough to know you don’t know everything. Hold your head high and proceed.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Peril in the fight; glory in the triumph. The opposite is also true. If getting there weren’t a little hard, then it wouldn’t be fun. So don’t worry if things get a little hard. It’s all part of the plot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may not be sure what to believe about a situation yet, but you’re quite willing to look at it straight on, in the best light available, unblinkingly. Do this long enough and an impression will be made.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While it’s kind to lend a hand, be judicious. You don’t want to rob anyone of the chance to learn skills, solve problems and have the pride of solo-completion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re sensitive to the buzz and whir of the world around you. It may seem counterintuitive, but it’s the absence of color and light that will be the most stimulating. Blank spaces invigorate your most creative instincts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have ideas but you don’t know how to make them fly in the current circumstances. You imagine one way and then another, but each has its drawbacks. Until you see the light, the best move is no move.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your gift for noticing the minutiae of your surroundings is sometimes hurtful, sometimes happy and always life-enriching. Today, you encounter a stranger who reminds you of something noble in people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do you get the impression that there is secret information being passed between people and over networks to which you’re not privy? The tinge of paranoia is a sign to pay attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s really something to watch the race from the stands. You can see what those who are in the throes of it can’t. But of course, no one ever won a race watching from the stands.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Henrik Ibsen said, “The strongest man upon the earth is he who stands most alone.” Who has that approach ever worked for? Use the strength and skill of communication and teamwork, and together you’ll be mighty.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 12). This year will offer a variety of frameworks for you to operate within. You’re like an actor who gets to play several roles. Tight relationships will be the best part, and your personal life will play out like a beautiful dance. There’s an opportunity to mix into a professional area you’ve been intrigued with for years. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 12, 26 and 37.
