For Monday, March 17:

This year you often will feel that all the effort in the world won’t make a difference. It will, but you might not see results on your timetable. If you are single, you are likely to meet people through work and your daily travels. If you are attached, be more in touch with a partner’s need for nurturing. LEO helps you get the job done. Try to work with your Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your availability is in question. Have you taken on too much? Are you doing something differently? Tonight: Let creativity make the call.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ You might not know which direction to go. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out. A child or loved one clearly wants what he or she wants. Tonight: Where the action is. Go green.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢ Sometimes it’s a heavy job juggling all your different concerns. Listen to news that heads your way. Recognize your limits. Tonight: Do only what you must.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ You are in a whirlwind and don’t know which way to go. Your understanding could take you in a new direction. Listen to new information. Tonight: If you want, be Irish.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ Understand exactly what needs to happen. Realize what is going on with a child or loved one. You sometimes need to step back and not get involved. Tonight: Heading home might be best.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You could be harder on yourself than you realize. Why not just say you are tired rather than try to do what you cannot? Consider taking a few days off. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢ If you feel flat or tired, you need to rethink a situation. Understanding grows day by day. Tonight: Even if others are painting the town green, you might want to go home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Keep zeroing in on what you want. Though you might think you aren’t getting results, you are. Tonight: In the limelight.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢ Take a stand and know what you are doing. Listen to your instincts and investigate a situation more carefully. Tonight: A must appearance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢ Reach out for someone at a distance. This person’s opinions are very different and will give you a strong sense of direction. Tonight: Worry less and enjoy more.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ Understand what is happening with a child or loved one. Words make no difference and will not have the impact that actions do. Reach out for this person, and even if he or she is belligerent, help him or her. Tonight: Laugh and relax.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ Your words don’t mesh with what others are hearing. Knowing there is a disconnect, be willing to repeat yourself in different ways. A caring gesture might work, but don’t expect an immediate reaction. Tonight: Out with co-workers.
