For Friday, March 9:

This year you see life from a more caring perspective. You develop more empathy and gain understanding. Sometimes you could be jolted by your insights. Use care with your finances. Do not take risks where you cannot take the loss. If you are single, your circle of friends might change, and you could meet someone quite intense. If you are attached, there could be financial struggles. Consider getting separate bank accounts. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult.
