Horoscope
Most of your greatest successes in the year ahead are likely to come from independent endeavors. Conversely, in many of the arrangements that you share with partners, there will be ample potential for mishaps. Go it alone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you find yourself attempting to negotiate with someone who won’t budge an inch, it might be better to forget about trying to work with him or her. Look for another source.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — During this phase of the heavenly cycle, it will be important to keep pace with all of your responsibilities and duties. If you fall too far behind, you may never get back on track.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — This is one of those days when people tend to put the social graces under a microscope. Any form of misconduct or overindulgence on your part will be frowned upon and talked about for a long time.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you find yourself being forced to accept another person’s desires in spite of your own needs, chances are you’ll rebelliously do the opposite.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Usually you would simply shrug off anyone who is not in accord with your views or desires, but if the way the offending party goes about it ticks you off, you won’t hesitate to bury him or her.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When you’re put in charge of the financial affairs or resources of others, be as prudent as possible. Even then, unless you first consult the sponsor, you could get in trouble.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be on guard and ready to deal with some opposition from an unexpected source. Regardless of how out of line it might be, it’ll give you a big, fat headache. Forewarned is forearmed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Excuses won’t be any help whatsoever where neglected promises are concerned. When you are not in total control of matters, they will simply control you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t allow yourself to get caught in the middle of two warring friends. You wouldn’t be able to help at all, plus you’d get hammered from both sides.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Take nothing for granted in negotiating a competitive development. If your opposition has more going for him or her than you surmise, you could get in way over your head.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There is a good chance that you’ll be far more vulnerable than usual to high-pressure sales pitches. If this is the case, you could impulsively do something that would prove costly.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — When it comes to issues about which you feel strongly, be extra careful about expressing them when confronted by someone who holds equally strong opposing viewpoints. Keep mum.
