Horoscopes: Saturday, March 18, 2017

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Though of course you want to succeed, there's a down side to knocking it out of the park. It sets up a future expectation you may or may not want to live up to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To avoid wasted effort, get more clarity around what you're attempting to do. Improved communication will be key.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). All will be enhanced by social connections. Instead of connecting with people haphazardly when it's convenient, create a structure that will allow you to engage others often.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Though the result of someone's efforts to impress you may not have the intended impact, it will still feel flattering to know you're the cause of such a fuss.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Time is the currency of productivity. How you manage yours today will be the difference between a hit and a miss. You've a strong instinct for what's important.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll clear up a misunderstanding within seconds, as long as you are aware of it. Go over recent communication. Check in to make sure that you've heard and have been heard correctly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whether winning or losing, for those who are in the battle, life is about fighting. Forgo the fight in favor of finding something to agree on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Rituals are a way of symbolically processing life so you can realistically process it with greater ease. A ritual you create to help you move past your sticking point will be most effective, resonating deeply to free you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Exaggerated fears can cause social discomfort. It doesn't have to be this way, though you may have to make a few mistakes first to understand that a flub is OK sometimes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you provide people with reasons to accept you, you'll earn acceptance but feel nothing. If you don't make any effort and are accepted anyway, you'll feel loved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don't waste the day by trying to prolong it. Efficiency will be the enemy of passion. Burn the hours in exciting, pointless ways; make lasting memories.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Chances are that you are imagining a risk as much greater than it really is. You are, in a sense, "elevating the plank" that you'd theoretically walk. No plank, just an optional diving board.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 18).

Balance and moderation are the norm this year, and yet there are some things you simply won't be able to do small: for instance, love. The more you invest, the more you feel. You'll have terrific luck with a sale in June. September renews old relationships. December will be a lucky time to move or build. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 22, 49 and 11.
