ARIES (March 21-April 19) TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

Parents, especially estranged parents, have to cooperate to figure out what’s best for children today. This looks like a good day to make long-range plans about children, vacations and creative projects. But trust and sharing do not come easily. (It was ever thus.)
 

Partnerships and close friendships are strained today. Don’t expect too much from others. Instead, turn to an old-fashioned solution: good, hard work. If you roll up your sleeves and get busy, you can be very productive on the job and at home. This way — something gets done.
 

GEMINI (May 21- June20) CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

Cooperation with co-workers is difficult today. But this doesn’t mean you cannot be productive. Au contraire! The secret is to work alone on creative projects. You can also make long-range plans about vacations, romantic situations and dealing with children. Get advice from others.
 

Someone older, wiser or more experienced than you (perhaps a parent or family member) can give you guidance and good counsel today. It’s easier and cheaper to learn from the mistakes of others. Listen to what someone has to say. You don’t necessarily have to follow their advice.
 

LEO (July 23 - Aug.22) VIRGO (Aug.23 - Sept. 22 )

You’re concerned with practical, down-to-earth issues today. You want to fix things. You want to plan ahead. You want to get it right. This is good. Relations with family members and authority figures require more patience. Keep your head down and your powder dry.
 

Relations with partners and close friends are a tad strained today. This could be because you’re being conservative about your money. You feel the same way about your possessions. You might be reluctant to lend something or let others use what you own.
 

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov.21 )

This is the classic day to get advice from someone who is older and more experienced than you. Don’t let pride stand in the way of this. After all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel again. Learn to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you.
 

Some kind of authority figure in your life, and it could even be the government, can be helpful to you today. No man is an island — not even a peninsula. Therefore, accept help that is offered to you. Even though partnerships are strained today, you don’t have to go it alone.
 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

This is a good day to make long-range plans with groups and friends. Sit down and hear what others have to say. Those with more experience can give you helpful advice. “Circle the wagons, and get the women and children in the center.” Stuff like that.
 

Difficulties with children and romantic liaisons test your patience today. Why not go to the mountain for advice? Parents, VIPs and authority figures are willing to sit down with you and make practical suggestions for the future. Be cooperative. You could learn something valuable.
 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20)

This is a good day to make long-range travel plans or plans connected with publishing, the media and higher education. Legal and medical matters can be plotted out ahead of time, as well. It always helps to know where you’re going. That way — when you get there, you know you’ve arrived.
 

A little financial planning for your future could stand you in good stead today. Talk to financial advisers. Get advice from people you respect. Someone might give you something that helps you do your job better or easier.
 

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

39th President Jimmy Carter (1924) shares your birthday. You have a kind of dignity that makes others respect you. You’re not flaky. Quite the opposite! You’re dedicated to whatever clause you embrace. Ironically, even though you are reliable and hard working; you’re also an unusual individual. Others are not like you. The year ahead will definitely focus on your closest relationships and partnerships.
