Horoscope: March 17

Aries (March 21-April 19). There are times when it's better to risk, but not today. Chance will favor you because you make choices not to take chances. It's as if chance appreciates the break.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). There's a balance to strike between what you want to do and what life seems to keep leading you into. This has to do with a piece of history that needs to be revisited and forgiven.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). You'll get the best results because you turn it into a competition or because you realize you're already in one. The challenge will be difficult, uncomfortable, exhilarating and productive.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). You don't have to be fearful or tense. Your risk will be minimized by a safety net. When you feel like you have nothing to lose because you'll be saved if you falter, you do much better.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22.) You'll enjoy small talk and casual relationships now. A casual relationship that happens on a regular schedule will at times be more intimate than relationships in your inner circle.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The family member who is misbehaving will get some of your focus, but try not to dwell there. You have better things to do with your thoughts and better emotions to feel, too.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The thing is, you won't know how much kindness is necessary for the situation, but it's probably more than most people are applying. Anyway, you won't be sorry if you give a little too much.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Change is much more strenuous than lazily pulling the covers over our head and staying in the cocoon of the life we've built thus far. This day pushes you up and out because you want the change badly enough.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It doesn't matter that they behave in illogical ways. Your own illogical reaction will be that you try to help and love them anyway. In this case, two wrongs don't make a right.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Getting back on track might simply be a matter of making friends who have as much ambition as you have or used to have or want to have. They are out there. Put the word out.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you let go, you create space for something else to move into your life. It doesn't make letting go easier, but it should make it a more hopeful process.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). You wouldn't bet against yourself, and that's what you're doing if you project a negative and fearful view of the future. No worrying! This thing isn't as major as your mind wants to make it.

Today's Birthday (March 17). You'll be proud of yourself at the end of this year for how hard you worked and how much you were able to accomplish. Stick with a tested plan for the next seven weeks—that's how you're going to be successful. After that, you can experiment, explore and push the boundaries. May and July are the most romantic months. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 33, 37 and 19.
