For Sunday, March 23, 2003:

You could change your plans involving travel and education this year. Just as you’re heading in one direction, you could reverse tracks. You have strong, fiery instincts that take you in a certain direction. Impulsiveness will work for you. Many career options could be discussed, but they will not become a reality until September. In the meantime, you will particularly enjoy a loved one, if attached. If you are single, you might meet someone quite important before September.
