For Friday, March 18:

Remain optimistic and forthright this year. Often you might want to take off and not deal with certain situations. You can also choose to not respond, and opt to not run away. If you are single, you might meet more suitors than the mind can imagine. Choosing the right one takes talent. If you are attached, work on understanding and mutual respect. Choose to accept rather than fight. Virgo can be challenging at best.
