Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Travel a distance with your mind. See if you can tell how another person must be feeling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Explore. There's a street, shop or library you haven't seen yet, so go there. Talk to strangers and you'll make friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stay busy. If you're not busy enough you'll start to over-think your choices or worry about how you're coming across.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Start telling people what you're doing and what you need so they can get enthusiastic.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Numbers will matter to you, whether on the bathroom scale, your checking account statement or on a test.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Beware of promises. Consider the source. Your best bet is to do it yourself. You'll become strong, independent and self-sufficient.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may find that you like a person, but you dislike the person's behavior. Take note privately so you will avoid making the same mistake as this person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The deeds you do today are their own reward, so make sure to pick the tasks you will enjoy, and that mean something to you. Let other people solve their own problems.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Beware: Those who ask your opinion are likely just looking for an opportunity to voice their own views. Avoid such social traps. Keep communication breezy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your powers of concentration are amazing. It might feel selfish to focus on only the things that bring you joy, but this is actually a generous thing to do. Your happiness will raise the mood for everyone around you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 16). You are an everyday hero with dreams of making the world better. A loved one accompanies you on a summer adventure. A change in your work allows you to earn more in August. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 8, 30, 15 and 9.
