ARIES (March 21-April 19). Wishful thinking is just that, so take action. You can easily lift a burden from a friend’s shoulders, and the payoff will be well worth your effort. An Aquarius may flirt boldly with you this afternoon, but he or she is not serious.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Avoid compromising your principles in order to get ahead; your ambition may steer you wrong. Put your educational goals back in perspective. They won’t be hard to accomplish now. Out-of-town travel could be necessary.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Learn something you need to know right away to avoid blind speculation and bad decisions. Be responsible, and high status will follow naturally. Spend more time with your family. Pursue someone who once pursued you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A higher-up or employer may take notice of your efforts. If you work harder, the doors of success will open wide for you. Your fear of commitment will vanish completely. Be gracious to new friends and acquaintances.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your business situation is better than what others think. Confront obstacles, and they will come crashing down. You could meet someone who provides the stimulation you need tonight. Joining forces will speed up your work progress.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 11). You’ll contribute so much to others this year, you will be greatly rewarded. And why not? You have more to give now than ever before. There is great satisfaction in your social standing as you gain a good reputation among respected peers. Work on new, creative ventures in April, and you’ll see the money for your efforts by September. December features a wedding. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 14, 28, 33 and 49.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A unique undertaking will go from its blueprint to its active production. Be mindful of the influence you have over your colleagues. You are not responsible for a loved one’s happiness – focus on your own, and love will fall into place.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Career breaks are coming, so get ready to show higher-ups what you can do. Check up on a distant friend. A love interest may become more enamored with you. Exercise this evening to relieve tension. Then, take a hot bath.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). New challenges will test your resolve at work. Confront a persistent romantic problem before it is too late. A close relative will make a confession. Family members are under a lot of pressure. Assist them at your comfort level.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your financial instincts are on the money, so place a bet. Dispense with tired, old customs and traditions. You could find romance with someone from a different country. Pick up where you left off on an old project.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A career opportunity will fall into your lap. Don’t be afraid to change your plans. Be on your guard against unreasonable requests from family members. Resist the advances of someone who is romantically involved with your friend.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Politics are important now. You’ll be judged by a colleague or employer based on the topics of conversation you choose. Keep your sense of humor in tense situations. An opponent makes and important slip, so be on your toes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Get in touch with your inner feelings; don’t hold resentments against yourself. Share what you know with young people, and you’ll wind up learning more than you teach. Everyone will benefit from the labors of love tonight.
ASTROLOGIAL FEATURE: STAR SUPPORTERS OF 2002 (PART THREE OF SIX): For those of you who wrote to say you enjoyed this section in January, this is for you: Who will help you get what you’re looking for in the new year? Leo: Saying you don’t need help from anyone has been the theme so far this year, and indeed, you are stronger than most people. It’s also fun for you to learn by doing things first-hand. Usually, by the time you find the right person and train them, you could have done things yourself. That said April will bring an opportunity to hone your leadership skills, and over time, you’ll benefit from delegating all small and large tasks. Cancer and Virgo are great listeners and will ask questions until they get what they want. Pisces is your cheerleader. Sagittarius is your money person. Virgo: Your plans are only as good as they can actually be executed, and you’ll spend April working out the kinks that have kept you from finding love. Scorpio is an asset to your process because this person can cause you to orchestrate something truly fail-safe. Taurus is loyal and hardworking. Aquarius thinks of the angles you wouldn’t have considered.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Happy Birthday to "American Beauty" co-star Thora Birch, whose Pisces sun position couldn’t be more perfectly indicative of tremendous acting talent. Acting since before the age of 4, she’s typically described as an "old soul" among those with whom she works. Pisces, being the final station of the zodiac, is the home of old souls.
