Monday, March 10, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

aRies (March 21-April 19): Tuck your emotions somewhere safe and sound. Getting bent out of shape will not help your relationships with friends or family. Compromise, and offer your assistance, not your criticism. Focus on self-improve­ ment, not trying to change others. tauRus (April 20-May 20): Choose your friends and associates wisely. Give and take must be part of the equation if you want to form workable partnerships. Take a pass on anyone who is unpredictable. Help others; it will be reciprocated. Gemini (May 21-June 20): Don’t waste time. Get to the point. Talk to anyone able to help you get a new venture up and running. A service or skill you have to offer will be profitable if you follow through. Love is highlighted. CanCeR (June 21-July 22): Take a unique approach to getting things done. Don’t wait to see if someone else wants to go first. Don’t be afraid to be different or to delve into something that inspires you to try something new. Travel, communi­ cate, and socialize. LeO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get organized, and discuss your plans with people you feel can help you get ahead. A change of location will do you good, but caution while traveling will be necessary. There is money to be made, but contracts must be signed first. viRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Find solutions, and offer help. Your suggestions and hands-on expertise will put you in a good position to negotiate what you would like in return. You stand to benefit because of your generosity. Don’t be shy. LibRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid overreacting or being around someone who is being too demanding. Put more effort into getting ahead and making new contacts that can help you reach your goals. Love is in the stars, and romance will bring good results. sCORPiO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Share your thoughts, and visit places that inspire you to take on something new or unusual. Let your imagination wander, and you will come up with workable solutions for both self- and home improvements. React based on your feelings. saGittaRius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Not everyone will be as open as you are. Reserve judgment if someone shares gossip with you. Information isn’t likely to be validat­ ed. A personal change at home will end up costing you more than anticipated. Recalculate, and backtrack to fit your budget. CaPRiCORn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put your energy and effort into doing a good job. Showing your ability under unusual circumstances will make you stand out in the crowd. Your expertise will help you get ahead, but expect someone to be jealous and act unruly. aQuaRius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take advantage of an opportunity, but make sure you read the fine print first. Staying on top of any situation you get into personally, professionally, or financially will ensure that you get ahead. A healthy regime will pay off. PisCes (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll have a magnetic influence on others if you share your imaginative ideas. Socializing will open up doors to people and information that will be beneficial to you in the future. Offer whatever service or information you have to share.
