Some quiet time spentwith a significant other may become top priority after thesun goes down.TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): No matter what the job is or how difficult it may seem, you’rejust the one to get things done.Your thoughts may tend towander into romantic territory,but save amorous pursuits forlater.GEMINI (May 21-June 20):You’re better suited to working quietly behind the scenes than shining in the spotlight. This is not a good time to be makingpresentations or pushing your personal agenda.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be-ing kind and generous to those around you earns good karma,as well as respect. Take charge of negotiations by knowing when to speak and when tokeep quiet.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Follow your ambitions. A hankering forsuccess will have you makingall the right moves as you climbthe ladder. Use your charm tomake a good impression.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):A careless slip of the tongue could create a setback either in a romantic or career setting.Don’t divulge too much infor-mation unless someone spe-cifically asks for it.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Pair up. The coming of spring may have you ready to go outsideand frolic, but there are im-portant responsibilities to takecare of first.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Fol-low the rules. You may find a shortcut to getting the job done. The consequences could outweigh the rewards if you do something slightly unethical. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.21): Whether a computer needs defragging or a difficult prob-lem needs solved, you rise to the occasion. Prioritize tasks so that essential matters are cer-tain to be completed.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):Don’t settle for a shoddy per-formance when you know you can do much better. Ambitionand drive grow. Ultimately you’ll be rewarded for a jobwell done.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Make a dismal environment brighter by being witty, posi-tive and setting others at ease. Keep your surroundings well-organized to help make life easier.PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Turn-ing in mediocre or slipshodwork would be a definite stepbackward, rather than help-ing you make progress. Do the best you can throughout theworkweek.IF MARCH 26 IS YOUR BIRTH-DAY: Throughout June you may need to concentrate on anew friendship before it canblossom into anything more. Wait until September, when you are wiser than usual, to make crucial changes or decisions.
