Horoscope
After suffering many disappointments in the past, exciting developments could now be in the offing for you in the year ahead. More than a few of last year’s losers could become big winners in the months that follow.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — People you’ll be dealing with will be just as anxious to protect their interests as you are to protect your own. Don’t expect any concessions or indulgences.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The longer you weigh something, the more you are likely to be affected by a case of paralysis. Besides, your first evaluation is apt to be most accurate anyway.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Provided you are as good in the final stretches as you are during your opening gambit, your chances for acquisition look reasonably possible. Hopefully, your material motivation will be strong enough.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Being able to accurately assess matters will not be your problem today. Your headache is likely to come from a failure to act in accordance with your better judgment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Although you’ll be reasonably astute at judging commercial matters, you might not be quite as shrewd when doing business with others. As the saying goes: “Keep your powder dry.”
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t make promises to a friend requesting a favor unless you truly mean it. This person will be counting on you, and if you renege, hard feelings will come of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Someone who had no hand in what you accomplished lately might attempt to take the credit for all of your efforts. Set the record straight immediately, so she or he won’t try again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If you stand by without intervening, you will be judged by some bad opinions being expressed by your companions. When you’re not in accord with their views, make your position known.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Put the interests of your family or loved ones above all others, especially when you are placed in the awkward position of having to make a choice. No one should be more important than your kin.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Just because certain morals or principles by which you abide are unpopular with some of your peers, it’s no reason to dilute or lower your standards just to fit in. Stay the course.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You might not receive everything to which you’re entitled if you fail to stand up for your rights. Think about it: If you’re timid, louder personalities will take over the spotlight.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — When it comes to involvements where teamwork is essential, be sure to link up only with those who can pull their own weight. You’ll fail if you’re harnessed with weaklings.
