STAR SIGNS ARIES (March 21-April 19): You refuse to be seen as a slave to convention. You enjoy inde- pendence and no one owns you or your time. But when there is a job to be completed you are willing to act like a team player. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on people, not things. Gather a consensus of opin- ion before objecting if you feel you are being treated unfairly. Group think tanks may lead to a solution to a problem. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are much luckier and respected than you think. Your favorite companions love you just as you are. There is someone in the background rooting for your side of a debate. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ex- press gratitude for what you have. The very things that are the most challenging to handle could be the basis of your suc- cess in the future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Coopera- tion is more admirable and ac- ceptable than dictatorship. You can’t control anyone’s actions, but you can get by with a little help from your friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Con- fidence is king. Remember the old song about the ant that car- ried the rubber tree. You too can handle things much bigger than you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You don’t need to use sign lan- guage. You may be under the impression that an apology fell on deaf ears but the facts will prove that it has been accepted. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The signals you send might send a message that is the opposite of what was intended. You will get further by concessions than through obstinacy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You must build a firm foundation under your feet if you hope to hold up high stan- dards. Setting reasonable limits does not need to create misun- derstandings or problems. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Counteract assertiveness and aggression with kindness. The very things that frustrate you can be a springboard for ac- complishment in the future. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Watch your back. You might encounter trouble in a close relationship through your own actions but can kiss and make up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be challenged by op- position to your desires. Take charge of situations that are smoldering and put the fire out by being straightforward and honest. IF MARCH 3 IS YOUR BIRTH- DAY: Put your best foot forward during the upcoming two to three weeks and it will hold open doors that lead to suc- cess. Late March and early April is your best time for making sound financial decisions or to indulge in romantic fantasies by taking a trip or getting away for a weekend. If you have an ambition you can achieve it be- cause your dreams are conta- gious and others will be willing to help you.
