For Monday, March 16:

You are in the final year of an 11-year cycle. If you are single, you don’t need to spend money in order to impress a member of the opposite sex. You want to be loved for who you really are, not for the person you project. If you are attached, make the budget a mutual project, and you both will be happier. Sagittarius pushes you into the limelight.
