Monday, March 17

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Should a disagreement arise between you and your mate, don't bring an outsider into the picture in order to endorse your position. You may win the argument, but at what cost?

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Conditions are operating on both sides of the coin for you. The very person on whom you are depending to dump your problems has the same idea about handing his or her troubles onto you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Social complications of your own making will result if you fail to honor your commitments. Be careful that you don't make a promise to one friend at the expense of offending another.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Important objectives are not likely to be accomplished if you think all you have to do is show up and everything will be taken care of.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Don't attempt to promote or sell something if you truly don't believe in it. Others will see right through your facade and think ill of you for trying to pass on to them what you consider to be unworthy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — It is time to carefully review an unprofitable endeavor in which you now find yourself. If it is not living up to its promised expectations.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Once you make a calculated decision, have the courage of your convictions or don't do anything in the first place. Be particularly careful not to let a less knowledgeable person take the reins.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The only way you are going to make a profit from a joint endeavor is if it's something not based purely on an untried idea.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You will be luckier at this time dealing with things that others have created rather than from something you've devised. If asked, don't hesitate to jump on their bandwagon.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If material reward alone is your only motivation, you will not have the impetus necessary to succeed.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Someone who is willing to be helpful today might not be so congenial tomorrow, especially if you don't show the proper respect and gratitude for his or her efforts now. This person will feel as if he or she is being used.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Unexpected developments could quickly shut you down unless you are fully prepared to handle whatever is thrown at you.
