Wednesday, March 2, 2016 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take time to treat yourself to something that will make you feel good and look good, as well as give you the incentive you need to forge ahead. Romance is on the rise, and playful interaction with someone you love will bring you closer together. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll feel pressure if you oppose someone who has as much invested in a project or plan as you do. Use friendly persuasion over brute force, and you will find the compromise you need to keep moving forward. Teamwork will pay off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Listen carefully. Make sure you fully understand what’s expected of you before you commit. It’s OK to be friendly and to want everyone to like you, but don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Focus on self-improvements, not on helping others. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take control, and make decisions based on your gut feelings. Position yourself to be the nucleus of whatever endeavor you embark on, and you will make an impression and gain popularity among your peers. Don’t be afraid to be different. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Target the problems that are looming, and offer a solution. Taking charge will bring about new interest from your superiors and could make you a hero in the eyes of your friends and family. Romance is on the rise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Gravitate toward the people who appreciate you and what you have to offer. Look at the big picture, but don’t be too eager to put your cash into something you cannot control. Trust your instincts, not what someone else tells you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get out with friends or make plans with your sig- nificant other. Any form of entertainment, travel, or pampering will improve your attitude and give you the incentive to do your best in all aspects of life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will face some opposition at home if you try to do things differently. Do your best to keep your plans a secret until they are fully developed and hard to dispute. Someone from your past will contribute to your success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Venture down a path that will help you explore personal options regarding your skills, appearances, and ways you can change the way you live to suit what you want out of life. Romance is encouraged. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s OK to do things differently. Alter your routine, and you will keep everyone guessing. A joint venture looks prom- ising and can bring about a development that will improve a personal relationship or your current living arrangement. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Trust in your ability to make good decisions. If you get things done and find unique solutions, they will result in recognition and praise. A positive attitude combined with hard work will result in an unexpected surprise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put your energy into achieving your objectives. Less talk and more action will help you avoid criticism. Subtle changes in your approach will be your best and quickest route to success. Avoid letting anger take over.
