Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Yes, you have responsibilities. But must you handle all of them in one day? Consider whether you can put something off until tomorrow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Balance and moderation are in order. Be reasonable. Also: Avoid spicy or unusually rich foods.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want to be the envy of all who know you, and you'll work toward that goal the whole day through.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you think of a certain person, your temperature soars. Resolve your unresolved feelings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Toss off the weight of worry. If you're still thinking of a mistake you made long ago, forgive yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). After a hectic morning, you'll finally relax into the day. By the afternoon, everything will seem to come to you with much less effort than before.
