ZODIACTION POINTS FOR TODAYARIES (March 21-April 19): Put on a strong image, even if you don't feel tough inside. You can attract people who want to exploit weakness, so don't encourage them. Frustration builds if you feel you don't control your life and actions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The day is bad for situations requiring a keen mental edge and critical thinking. You are content to sit back and relax. You need extra effort to focus on an objective and apply yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Strong attractions involve you with people today. You spend a lot of time and effort adjusting to a mix of feelings. Be flexible about taking the lead sometimes and sometimes following.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can be carried away by your emotions and be lead into unsafe situations. Be mindful of ethical considerations to forestall problems. If you're not careful, initial enthusiasm can turn sour.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Advice comes to you easily from all sides -- most of it conflicting. Confusion comes with not having a sense of direction or criteria for assessing what to believe. Work yourself out of a mental fog.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's important to discern when to go head-to-head against competition and when to compromise. When making deals, do so from a position of strength. Be magnanimous, but not lax, in victory.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your push for recognition is more of an attempt to gain personal approval. You want to win someone in particular over to your side. Your choices are based on attraction more than utility.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It's important to make wise choices from the beginning, otherwise you are apt to be constantly changing your mind afterward. Know what you really want first so that you are not vacillating later.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You tend to take action only with approval -- even if it's not necessary. Try making decisions yourself and stand on your own. Emotional connections can make you afraid to risk offending.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You tend to be imaginative and impractical today. You desire entertainment more than responsibility. Apply yourself to exercise logic, as there is little of it in evidence today in anybody.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You make uncertain steps toward intellectual independence, but you may still be relying too much on what people tell you. Your impressions need more examination and analysis to be consistent.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are feeling that loved ones are in need of protection. You must stand your ground and be assertive in the face of encroachments. Don't compromise security or people close to you.
These interpretations are based on the aspects and positions of the planets in relation to each Sun-sign. They indicate the general mood and issues of the day as you experience them. Be creative in applying your forecast to the actual circumstances of your life.© Copyright 2005 by United Press International
