Since then, however, Congress has been bogged down with everything from the Iran nuclear deal to the federal budget, leaving the authorization on the back burner.

Wednesday, March 25, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make plans to run errands, and get little jobs out of the way. Your friendly demeanor will help you draw positive attention and make new friends. Take part in whatever activities you enjoy, and an opportunity you least expect will unfold. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Check out what credentials are required to fulfill a professional dream. Don’t let the work involved scare you. Set your plans in motion, and see where they lead. The only regret you’ll have is not making the effort, so get moving. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be emotional and sensitive to some- one’s comments. Keeping your distance and refusing to retaliate will help you bypass an uncomfortable situation. Turn your focus to helping a cause you believe in, and you’ll boost your morale. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do what’s expected of you. You will be blamed for something you didn’t do if you get involved in other people’s business. Don’t get angry or act impulsively when your best response is to take care of your own responsibilities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make personal changes, and express your thoughts to people who have something to contribute. Don’t overreact if someone opposes you. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Focus on those who are already on your team. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let obstacles deter you. If you plan your actions carefully, you will out-maneuver anything that gets in your way. Don’t make promises to avoid an uncomfortable emotional situa- tion. You are best to do your own thing and learn from experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Form partnerships with the creative people who share your vision. A personal change will help you recognize what you want and whom you want to spend more time with. Altering the way you live will enhance your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put some thought into your investments. Find ways to cut corners or get rid of unnecessary expenses. Downsiz- ing or altering your lifestyle will help you get your life back in perspec- tive. Set new priorities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Face emotional issues head-on, and make whatever adjustments are necessary to move forward in a pos- itive manner. Ignoring the inevitable will only prolong the agony of a situation that needs to be dealt with now. Follow your heart. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can get ahead if you take a different path. You are best to avoid anyone who is unpredictable or looking for a free ride. Stick close to home, and work on developing your plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will know what you want and how to go about getting it. Don’t sit back waiting for someone else to make the first move. Be brave, and get the ball rolling. Once you begin, the rest will be easy to achieve. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone older or more experienced will give you a hard time. Don’t back down or show emotion. Instead, use your creative imagination to outsmart anyone who tries to belittle or criticize you. Act with precision and confidence.
