The big question is: Will others listen or even hear you? It might take more than talent to draw the attention and respect you want. Think in terms of making an impres- sion, bypassing another’s mental filters. Tonight: Friends illuminate your path.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Expenses still remain a major focus, and will need to remain so through March 25. You can count on a mistake happening easily. Double-check and check again. Your smile goes a long way. Use your charms. Tonight: Make sure your budget works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Others might not get the basic message that you would like them to hear. Some of you might feel as if you are hitting your head against a brick wall. You need to think through a boss’s attitude. It isn’t coming from nowhere. Tonight: As you like.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)HH Take your time making a decision. You could be surprised by the outcome. Review a per- sonal matter with an eye to change and t FRIEND OR FAUX? greater potential. Right now, an associate has a stunning idea. Whether it will work is another issue. Tonight: Tell it like it is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)HHHH Focus on the group and its needs in general. But don’t dismiss your own, which you could easily do in the present circumstances. You could be depleted by an associate or partner. Know when enough is enough. Think of better alternatives. Tonight: Where the action is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Take charge and be willing to proceed differ- ently. Your adaptability is tested, and you Seth Bundy/KANSAN might wonder when to call a halt to a difficult situation. You could be deceiving t THE MASKED ADVENGERS yourself about a personal matter. Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Reach out and meet someone you care about halfway. Your perspective can trigger a lot of creativity and interest. Examine new possibilities with an eye to change. Check out a work opportunity. Tonight: Listen to what is being shared.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You might want to work through a problem and get past an imme- diate hassle. The problem that remains is the unpredictability of someone, perhaps a family member. Use your instincts with someone else. Tonight: Out and about. Go to a spot with music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be inordinately focused, though events, people and conversations try to distract you. You could be startled by what someone says. Your ability to see a moneymaking venture is enhanced. Make what you want happen. Tonight: Get some Caleb Goellner/KANSAN exercise in order to mellow out. t SQUIRREL AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)HHHH Your creativity enhances whatever you do. Somehow, you might want to give up the practical and the tried-and-true. There could be financial damages if you don’t become more self-aware. Intuition works.
