[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): Romance is on someone's mind. Your job or an existing relationship may hold you back from pursuing afternoon delights. Go ahead and flirt but don't make a play for someone's heart unless you mean it.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): Slow down, you move too fast. Lightning-fast reflexes won't win any prizes in the social arena. Move cautiously and avoid the temptation to jump into a new relationship or make a change to an existing one.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): Fix it if it's broken. For the next few days, it might seem that the things that come to your attention are taking time from an already exceedingly busy schedule. But if you don't fix it now, it might just get worse.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A stiff upper lip can be part of a smile. Just because you are hard working and ethical doesn't mean you don't have time for playfulness. Let a new romance know that you are happy to let good times roll.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You don't need to hide in the back of the bus -- but you don't need to drive it, either. Finding your proper place in the grand scheme of things is like the tale of Goldilocks. Keep testing until it is just right.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Try a change of pace. What usually makes your heart thump could seem dull or outmoded if you let the full moon take charge of emotions. Alternating periods of doubt and confidence are possible.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't let a chance for some fun today pass you by. The workweek ahead will be a busy one and a little time spent doing what you enjoy will recharge your batteries. A romantic interest may be a little more romantic than usual tonight.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Help is close at hand. Don't get frustrated if your tasks seem to overwhelm you today. You need only ask for assistance from a colleague and you shall have it. This is a great time for reaching agreements.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Step up to the starting gate or risk falling to the back of the pack. It's time to roll up your sleeves and get down to business. Aggression is the key to your success, as resting on your laurels will get you nowhere.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Black or white is a clear-cut situation, but gray areas require the most attention. Hold off on making a final decision until all the facts are made clear. Take some extra time to make sure that finances are in order.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A building won't stand without a sound foundation. Make sure that new projects have true merit before starting them or you may just be wasting your time. You may leave a favorable impression on someone without even realizing it.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Romantic ties can become unknotted. You might be drawn to someone outside your usual circle, or tempted to break away from someone tried and true. Wait to make a firm decision about money or love.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Accuracy is like an angel who can protect you from future problems. Correct errors and mistakes before they cause difficulties or get noticed by others. Write down your thoughts and prioritize your goals.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It is elemental. Money may burn a hole in your pocket, but it is also like water: It does the most good when it is spread around. This is the right night to be down to earth while sharing the night air.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The special someone you meet tonight might come with references or a letter of recommendation. It isn't a fun-and-frolicky type of evening, so do not expect to have a blind date that is other than businesslike.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Insincerity could hit some sour notes. When you sense that others are merely being polite for politeness sake you could judge them harshly. Don't overspend just to impress someone in the week ahead.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on the future. You should be passionate about achieving your goals and set aside money to make your future secure. Don't be extravagant about spending on personal items or overly generous with promises.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Candlelit dinners for two will never make you blue. This is a great weekend for glamorous surroundings and a taste of enchantment. If you want to win someone's heart, wear yours on your sleeve.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the merry game of love, you chase until someone catches you. Don't forget to plan for a special evening with a loved one. In the week ahead, temper an urge to go to extremes with careful planning.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Snip and prune. You might need to cut back before you can expand your commitments. Financial matters need just a small prod in the right direction to become fruitful. Indulge in afternoon delight.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. You may not like someone's opinion, or think that your opinion is the only one that counts, but nevertheless that person might have some worthwhile ideas.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may shock others by taking the lead. Your actions will be a wake-up call to your companions. After a test run, someone might find it preferable to follow, so act independently for the best success.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your unwavering energy won't waver. Plan to take some time to revel in pure physical exuberance. The glow of loving togetherness will restore your spirits. A stroke of genius could solve a financial puzzle.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You possess an instinct for inspiration. This week is a great time to develop ideas and outline your future objectives. You should wait until the end of the week to make the first baby steps in their direction.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cooperation is king. You find that any task moves along more smoothly when there is a congenial buddy or co-worker along for the ride. Follow up on a fanciful flirtation by being fast with sincere compliments.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wait it out. You might think you can win big by taking charge of your own destiny. You are feeling lucky, but could easily forget that others might oppose your desires if pushed a bit too hard, too fast.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coup de grace leaves no trace. Although you may emerge victorious from an intense encounter with someone of very contrary opinions, you might never see any concrete results in your wallet or penny jar.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your just deserts might not constitute a satisfying meal. Don't be fooled into thinking a passing fancy is the main course. When somebody loves you, it's no good unless he or she loves you all the way.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A new partner might thrill you by fulfilling a fantasy. But anyone who visits "Fantasy Island" eventually has to leave. Don't expect too much from a sudden infatuation or passing romantic conquest.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are faster than a speeding bullet when you have to make a point. In the week ahead, you may prefer to retreat from the fast lane, however, and spend time in a quiet, secluded nook to plot and plan.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tell it like it is. When you are forthright about your wants and needs, you can strike a suitable compromise. New horizons may appear if you make some minor changes in your goals to please someone else.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Give everyone a little space. Efforts to kiss and make up could receive a positive response, but not an enthusiastic one. Those in your intimate circle expect you to do your own thing and fend for yourself.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do something different. Plan on getting away from the desk; you may shine in the spotlight of group activities. Fresh insights and new faces can help to break you out of a tiresome rut.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wait longer to put plans in motion that have been placed on hold. You have the determination to reach your goals without assistance, but others in close connection may offer more help than expected.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be true to your word. Do not let petty distractions keep you from honoring your responsibilities. Stand firm with your opinions and don't be swayed by smooth talkers. Stick to your guns in the week ahead.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Idle hands find the devil's work. Just because you have some unexpected free time is no reason to slack off. Find ways to occupy your time that will help you reach long-term goals, either through work or finances.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can find fun wherever you choose to find it. The daily routine may be a bore, but you can easily spice it up with a few laughs. You'll be at your best in competitions, but do not ignore matters of love and friendship.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't let your love life become just another daily routine. Keep the sparks burning or they may flicker out. Don't become so familiar with your significant other that you omit simple things like "please" and "thank you."

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't stoop to another's dirty tactics. Someone may try to get your goat. Be the bigger person and instead of retaliating, simply ignore it and move on. That'll really take the wind out of their sails.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tall tales may be fun to tell, but they don't really get you anywhere. Be honest even when there is the greatest temptation to stretch the truth. Don't let the pressure get to you, as a slip up will rock your boat.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You deserve a break today. That doesn't necessarily mean you should go to a world famous hamburger restaurant, but you should concentrate on occupying your day with enjoyable activities. Direct your energies.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The further backward you can look, the further into the future you can see. It will pay to remember past experiences in the week to come. The lessons learned about being politically correct can be of value.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): You may have lost an hour of sleep due to daylight saving time, but you have gained ambition. Give yourself extra time to complete important tasks or calls, as extra care and polish might be needed.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): Take notes or learn by rote. Your ability to absorb beneficial information is enhanced, so this is a good time to take up a new study or learn a new skill. Don't be afraid to ask for help and assistance.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-Apr. 19): Be sure actions are not merely reactions. You might feel that others are too critical of your ideas. Rather than taking this personally, adopt a new direction, incorporate suggestions, or apply different tactics.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wear the green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but don't spend your green on anything that holds a sudden fascination. You can be easily bamboozled by a sales pitch or a new romantic interest.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When it looks too good to be true, it usually is. You may become an impractical dreamer if you are on the prowl for a new romance. If you yearn for love and affection too much, you might not be discriminating.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The course of true love never did run smooth. A little bump shouldn't shake you up too much. Avoid giving in to sudden whims when dealing with a romantic partner and especially when handling your finances.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You'd like to be seen as smoking hot, but first you need the energy to fan the flames. A tough schedule or plethora of routine responsibilities might prevent you from feeling raring to go in the week to come.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can be gritty, witty and wise. As you enjoy the first full day of spring, it is tempting to show off brilliance and ingenuity. You may be too much of a show-off and shock people with wild ideas.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your natural inclination to fight opposition to your ideas could goad you into making large errors. You are unlikely to receive good advice today; sidestep making promises you are unable to keep.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are out of practice. You could be tempted to celebrate the first week of spring too enthusiastically. Curb an appetite for rich foods and wasteful spending. A long walk will help get you back in shape.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get down to brass tacks with paperwork and those small details. Use self-discipline to handle responsibilities and intelligence to plan carefully before make sweeping changes. Friends can help you succeed.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Conjure up some confidentiality. There are some things you simply cannot discuss or share, because they could do harm. If you juggle your tight schedule efficiently you have a chance for some fun tonight.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Few are in the frame of mind for fun. A serious get-the-work-done atmosphere prevails. You will benefit if you hold off on outings and major decisions until next week. Rest up at home and shake off the blues.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a lid on it. You will achieve your goals more quickly if you take your time and keep your ideas and desires under cover for the time being. Wait until the middle of the week to ask for favors or support.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have the ideas, but you might not have the approval. The lights might be red just when you are most anxious to get up to speed. Higher-ups might not be willing to give you the go-ahead on a project.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Win friends and influence people. You can gain the cooperation of others and get your projects launched by asking for a token of support. Someone with hurt feelings will be willing to accept an apology.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You've got the power. You appear more appealing and desirable than usual, so people in general are more than willing to compromise. This could be a good time to ask for favors or to promote your cause.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Born to be wild is more than just a song. Your love of excitement and the latest fads is just beginning to take hold. You are ready to take charge of your life and make changes you once thought impossible.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Remain politically correct. Sweep away unnecessary debris in your closets, your mind or in your social life. Commit to making desirable changes without aggravating or alienating your allies and partners.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you reach the end of your tether, just stay there. You won't be able to overcome your limitations through brute force or rebelliousness. You may be briefly frustrated by a lack of cooperation.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The new moon in your sign may bring thoughts of spring this week. Your tendency to spring optimistically into anything that puts you at the head of the line, however, may be met with secret disapproval or unexpected censure.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mending fences doesn't require any tool but a smile on your face. People are willing to forgive your mistakes and will sweep old aggravations under the rug. Being a team player is your best talent.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Consensus of opinion counts. This is a good time to come to a decision that will affect your personal life or to take on a leadership role. A loved one might expect you to toe the line and act responsibly.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Participate in sports or physical activities to burn off steam. You may be challenged to remain cheerful when temperamental people test your patience. With effort, you will quickly find common ground.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Clap your hands if you believe in fairies. Like Peter Pan, you'd like to pretend you are a kid forever. Like Tinker Bell, you are easily fooled and could be tricked by someone who does not have scruples.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You've got bragging rights. You might have the latest and greatest and reasons to crow about your extraordinary good luck. This may be a good evening to take a romantic fantasy to a new level of reality.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Temper your temper. Rather than jumping into the fray, try unwinding with someone who has love on his or her mind. A complementary partner can soften your rough edges and protect you from trouble.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When someone is breathing down your neck, you know you're out in front. Some healthy competition might reassure you in the week ahead. After all, people only compete for the best and finest.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. A little bit of whimsy is just what you need to get through the next few days. Don't, however, confuse nonsense with facts.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Open your heart. A lucky horseshoe is considered luckiest when the open end is up so good luck can fill it. Don't get off on the wrong foot with someone by being secretive or argumentative.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wiggle away from the wrestling mat. You and a partner may vie for domination, but teamwork and compromise are the answer, not opposition. Questions require expert advice from a trustworthy source.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The drama queen may be seen. You may be acting like one of the characters in "Easy Rider" while expecting everyone else to treat you like the Lord of the Rings. Concentrate on smart business moves.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): We live in a digital age. If you work your fingers to the bone, sometimes all you get are bony fingers. You might not get a reward for your diligence, especially if you are performing routine or boring jobs.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can stir up resentment if you seem too stern. That temporary taste of disapproval may trigger trouble so do your best to slap a smile on your face. Avoid taking on extra obligations today.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mind your p's and q's. A careless breach of etiquette could create unwanted strife. Avoid confrontations as the other party is likely to lose steam quickly. The full moon could shift relationships in the week ahead.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It's time to clear the air. An informal chat by the water cooler could dissolve the haze of misunderstandings you've had with a colleague. The object of your affection will serve as a calming influence.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The first step is the hardest. Minor setbacks may deter you. You may feel lethargic and sluggish but just making the slightest effort towards moving forward will go a long way towards improving your overall outlook.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you aren't moving forward, you'll never get anywhere. Make the most of valuable contacts -- even if it means mixing business and pleasure. Make sure every move you make is somehow linked to your overall goal.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is no "I" in "team." Put your desires aside for the time being and devote energies toward the common good. Careful planning creates a rousing success. Good taste helps you make tasteful purchases.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put the good in Good Friday. Even those who don't follow the Easter holiday can brighten their day by showing good humor. Pay attention to the symbols of rebirth as these may hold special significance for you.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The only absolutes in life are death and taxes. If someone offers you an opportunity that you feel you just can't pass up, take a pass. Your finances are fine just the way they are and there's no need for change.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A little hard work never hurt anyone. In the week ahead, you will have extra energy to draw upon, so you might as well put a few extra irons in the fire. Your social life could be somewhat unpredictable.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Money makes the world go around. Your personal ambitions are the focus of everything you do, but your ability to make money by dealing with others on a one-on-one basis could be debilitated.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Some unanswered prayers are good for you. You want what you want and want it now, but not getting what you want might have unseen advantages. Don't be discouraged if a wish is not granted.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Capture your inspirations. If you don't write down your creative ideas they will be lost forever. This is a fabulous time to apply wisdom and vision to your plans for the future and make important decisions.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A budding romance can blossom into the real deal. Someone you think of merely as a friend might have more than friendship in mind. Pursue romantic fancies without breaking off an existing relationship.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be a good sport. The old saying says that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. If you want to get rid of pesky problems, use your powers of diplomacy to strike a pleasant compromise.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Prime the pump. Your enthusiasm levels rise when you are faced by the start of something new. You tend to put too many irons in the fire; this might be a beneficial time to travel mentally or physically.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make a breakthrough. A fresh discovery or insight can alter your outlook and empower you to make personal improvements. You are more popular than usual, but shouldn't give your heart away.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): This is a good time to act the part you have been given to play. You are increasingly seen as a leader, and others tend to follow your example. Make the most of the respect you have earned with your peers.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Follow the Yellow Brick Road. A sincere suggestion from a friend might provide providential guidance. Although this is not an advantageous time to start something new, you can avoid problems.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fear could spoil your chances. You might be forced into contact with people overly concerned with security and appearances. This might distract you from following up on the most advantageous opportunities.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be wise enough to avoid a conflict. Keep plugging away, but don't make important changes. You or your partner can become easily discouraged if you try to compete with one another or ignore hidden problems.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Watch what you do, not what other people do. In the first half of the week, there could be a slight tendency to resent others who have an easier life. A rigorous schedule is simpler to handle if organized.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't press forward against disapproval. You may end up frustrated by a lack of cooperation and creative blocks. If you are mentally or physically sluggish, you will find it difficult to begin something new.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): All work and no play can make Jack or Jill dull, dull, dull. You risk being seen as a single-minded individual who thinks of only work at the expense of life's other pleasures. Take a deserved break.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Communication is the key to compromise. Emotions may need to be reined in by thinking about the other person first. Your intuitions might be right on target, but some friendly advice hits the bull's-eye.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are judged by the company you keep. If you feel that others are not supporting your goals, then it is time for a frank talk. The people who are good for you grow closer while detractors disappear.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The urge to travel might be irresistible. If you are caught in the grip of wanderlust and a yen to explore, then a trip to a casino to try your hand at a new game or just a walk through the woods might suit.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Jump on the bandwagon. Support your friends on a key issue or prove that you are a staunch supporter of someone's favorite worthy cause. As far as social activities are concerned, the more the merrier.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your "nears and dears" might be shocked by your adventuresome nature. In the week ahead, you might deliberately try to stir things up. You are willing to gamble on new ideas and explore unusual spaces.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You tend to flip your luck like an hourglass and go from one thing to another without a care in the world. You might be filled with energy, but scatter it, just hoping that everything will turn out in the end.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your high spirits may encourage you to howl at the full moon. You are more likely to spend money on something of dubious value than usual because passing pleasures seem more important than usual.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Totally stoked, but never broke. Your enthusiasm for romance, recreation and reaching out for the better things in life shouldn't blind you to the value of a nickel. Hold out for the best and finest.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A wandering eye might spot something perfect. If you are single you might sense endless possibilities in every warm smile or appraising glance. Be clear about your intentions with business contacts.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fan the flames of desire. You might seem like very hot stuff to a certain someone. If you are single and out on the prowl, it would be wise to investigate a new attraction before laying your heart on the line.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wait for your turn in line. When something tweaks your passions, you tend to want it right now. However, your insistence on instant gratification could prove costly because you are more gullible than usual.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before you can forgive anyone else, you must forgive yourself. You are in a tolerant mood and very willing to compromise in the week ahead, but other people may not be as warm and willing as you are.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may not have read Virgil, but a very long time ago he said that fortune favors the bold. Your boldness may help you walk through fire without getting burned, but refrain from boldness in group situations.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Learn to refine your judgment; weigh what is wastefully extravagant against economy. Acts of generosity to and from other people, especially family, may be signposts of rewards to come in the future.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Turn up the heat. You know what it means to engage in an argument when you know you are right. Your pure sincerity can blowtorch a way to a win. In the heat of the forge even metal is transformed.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The sweet and superficial is supported. Buckle down and research a deal or a person. Look very intensely at someone or something. An in-depth analysis will reveal whatever you would miss on the first glance.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A rags-to-riches story could go either way. Your social skills could be tested to the nth degree if someone ignores your invitation. An ability to judge what constitutes a good bargain could be lacking as well.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are humming with happiness on the holiday weekend. You have been looking forward to a trip or a romantic escape for quite some time and refuse to let little criticisms or hardships bring you down.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Spice up the Memorial Day holiday by letting a special someone know that you care. A small intimate gathering will be much more satisfying than a big bash. Choose words carefully in casual conversations this week.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. An unresolved situation rises to the forefront in the form of an ongoing conflict. This may temporarily knock you off balance; resolve it before enjoying holiday festivities.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't set any boundaries for your creativity today. Open up your mind for wild new ideas and experiments. You can break up the old routine and make things more interesting with a whole new approach.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a cool head. Events may conspire to make you fly off the handle and create an unpleasant scene. Think first before you act. You may not win this round but you'll certainly live to fight another day.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can't win them all. Avoid conflicts with someone who rubs you the wrong way, as there is nothing to gain by it. Exercise is an excellent way to vent pent-up frustrations. Social gatherings may be a bore.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look the part. Prove that you are the best one for the job through both your deeds and your appearance. Exude confidence -- but avoid the urge to stretch the truth, as it will work against you in the long run.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Count your blessings. Although you may not be where you envisioned yourself at this point in your life, you have much to be thankful for. Remember those who have been there for you through the years.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Coins jingle like bells in your pocket. Having money without something to spend it on would be like Christmas without Santa. In the week ahead, watch for a tendency to spend money too frivolously.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The faster they run, the more you pursue. You don't want anything or anyone that is easy to get. You are intrigued by anything that takes a little effort. Your warmth is appreciated for what it is the next few days.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your opinion has value. Your input can smooth troubled waters and put the competition into perspective. Your romantic nature seeps through when you try to be friendly with members of the opposite sex.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The juicy carrot dangling before your eyes might not taste as sweet as it seems. You are sharp as a tack and ready to take dynamic action but celestial conditions are not conducive to successful initiatives.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You could make a maddening muddle of your moolah. If you are in a rush to complete projects or achieve important objectives, you could throw good money after bad. Sidestep unnecessary expenditures today.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have enough love and affection to share with everyone you meet. You are also generous with your cash. Be crystal clear if repayment is required and set a firm limit on spending for the week ahead.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Partners may be stirred to pursue you with passion. Burn off excess energy with a game of tennis or a swim in the pool. Ward off the green-eyed monster that wakes up when you have time on your hands.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get the big picture, but stay in focus. What lies ahead and what lies behind are tiny matters compared to what lies within. In the week to come, it will be important to pay attention to your inner needs.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Let the future be an incentive. Develop stability by not reacting with dismay when a special someone does something unpredictable. Realize that to build a prosperous future, you must remain a rock.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Even if you're bad at business, you'll find that solving problems scientifically is simpler than you think. You will make more money if you perform thorough research now then you will by trying your luck at the roulette wheel.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put off passionate playtime. Your "one and only" might not be in the mood to play, but will certainly appreciate your undivided attention. A serious note might enter into any romantic adventures you pursue.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A chip on your shoulder may result in the cold shoulder from someone else. When you try to appear gritty, original, progressive or shocking, you might have all the charm and abrasiveness of sandpaper.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more, the merrier. Spend some time with friends and co-workers rather than pursuing amorous adventures. Spend time in public places, such as bookstores, where you might meet an influential contact.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What you want isn't always what you need. Your desire for comfort and beauty could kick into overdrive. Perform soul searching to be sure that you aren't craving something just because someone else has it.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a saddle you need to get back on this week. Erase the fear that prevents you from trying something that caused pain in the past or makes you apprehensive about facing someone who deserves an apology.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more you want to be first, the more likely you will come in last. A passing scheme might prove to be a delicate bubble that can burst unexpectedly. People may misunderstand your intentions.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Give in with good grace. Decisive actions aren't easy to take. Struggling with the pros and cons can turn a simple decision into a wrestling match. Avoid activities or people that drain your energy.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The longest day of the year was too long for some people. Aggravations that stymied you are disappearing, but life still has a few surprises up its sleeve. Success depends upon learning to wait.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can be paralyzed by a sudden change of plans. You can still get everything done on time even if it means that you must adjust your schedule. You might even learn a valuable lesson about being dedicated.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Dust off your discrimination. Some people just love the idea of being in love and aren't too picky about who or what they love. You should be cautious about relationships based on vague romantic notions.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): All that glitters isn't gold. You can make a favorable impression on new acquaintances in the business world, or enjoy a pleasant time with a new hookup, but avoid investments and major purchases.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Diamonds are forever. Remember in the week ahead that it is better to own one piece of fine jewelry -- or to develop one reliable relationship -- than to own a whole drawer of fake gems or hang with a herd of fair-weather friends.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It isn't always true that actions speak louder than words. Get the key points across early in the day before you lose your oomph. Tonight you and a special someone could become tongue tied around one another.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't let a bit of extra money burn a hole in your pocket. You might have a tip on an investment that tempts you to put your cash in a new venture. Wait to see what others think first and don't buy on credit.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get as much accomplished as possible. This might be a good time to make changes to your bank account or a decision about a major purchase. Assistance from a significant other could make work go faster.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rush not, hurt not. It is foolhardy to move forward at such a pace that you risk stubbing your toe. You should take a slow and cautious approach to decisionmaking and your intimate relationships.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A new moon and solar eclipse marks the beginning of a holiday weekend. Go ahead and try your skills on a game of horseshoes or darts, but don't risk your heart or make bets that impact your wallet.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't let any confidential info out of the bag in an effort to impress someone. Watch what you say, as you could be pressured to put your money where your mouth is, to your distinct disadvantage.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don your black robes and grab a gavel. You are your own best judge in the week to come when it comes to the quality of relationships or the value of investments. Make permanent improvements in net worth.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It is the most appropriate day to be a flag-waver. Your opinions could sometimes be shocking to some people, but it is always acceptable to voice support for your country, the armed forces and your hometown.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When things are going your way, it isn't a good idea to change direction. Your fighting instincts are under tight control, so you are a force to be reckoned with in any competitive business arena.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get some detergent and clean up the dirty laundry before it is aired. Make necessary explanations before gossip turns things sour. For the next several days, remain on your guard and avoid giving offense.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put energy to good use. Escape gloomy thoughts that tempt you to make changes that are contrary to your best interest. Straighten desk drawers, put tax receipts in order or alphabetize the recipe book.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get up to date. Sign up for a training class or seminar. You might best prove your worth by having letters after your name, a certificate or a diploma. Do not begin anything of major significance now.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Others may easily look up to you as a role model. Use every opportunity to impress people with your trustworthiness and fine character. Someone with romance in mind might take a shine to you.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Adopt a wait-and-see attitude this week. While your instincts may tell you that immediate action is required, having a little patience will reveal a much simpler solution later on. Don't let the little things get to you.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It's time for a new plan. The old routine has grown stale and tiresome. Let your imagination run wild and develop new objectives and goals. Later this evening, the sparks of romance may flame up a bit.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Business and pleasure don't mix. Follow the rules and maintain a professional manner at the work place. Socializing and goofing off when there is work to be done will not earn you any favors.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There's no task you can't do when you put your mind to it. Make ideas a reality and get pet projects off the ground. The tasks ahead may be difficult, but you'll find that your stamina is greater than you realized.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Work comes first. You should avoid giving into the temptation to put off current projects to follow social pursuits. The more work you get done now, the more time for play you'll have later.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Accept challenges. You are capable of going the distance, but sometimes it can be lonely at the top. While no one questions your business acumen, your expertise in other fields may be somewhat lacking.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you talk the talk, be sure that you can walk the walk. By practicing what you preach, you can draw the trust and admiration of those around you. Avoid giving into trivial suspicions and simply live and let live.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can "bang a left" in Boston or "hang a left" anywhere else in the world, but in the week ahead, local customs won't matter as much as your ability to adapt to changes to your plans with lightning speed.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Luck is on your side. Your derring-do makes you a fearless contender where sports and travel are concerned. Assistance from a superior or manager could make work go faster and boost productivity.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your wise assessment of situations and people should be right on the mark. Others might not be completely honest if their ambitions are at stake, so beat around the bush to sidestep potential problems.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Act on your creative inspirations. You can achieve your objectives by being pragmatic about the facts while refusing to be deterred from achieving your dream. Where there is a will there's a way.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wait to see what happens. Someone close may seem to be pushing all your buttons, but that is perfectly OK. Maybe it is time to go after a treasured ambition. Do not become embroiled in a gossip campaign.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Brush that chip off your shoulder and explain yourself. Undisclosed resentments could stir up disputes. A little conflict might be a good thing as you may win an ally through heart-to-heart discussions.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid new undertakings or starting projects, as situations outside your control can cause misunderstandings later. Do enjoy a romantic starlit summer night and stay up late with that special someone.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love creates bridges. By being respectful and proper you can build a bridge that connects you with others. In the week ahead, you might be wise to examine and take to heart any criticisms from loved ones.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Awaken to a higher purpose. Re-evaluate your priorities and enjoy a higher level of popularity. Small sacrifices must be made to avoid disputes. Focus on the building your social network and business connections.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't act on impulse; let impulse act on you. Get in touch with what is most popular on the Internet or whatever is making the rounds of the gossip columns. Being in the know will enhance your popularity.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Count on using your charm to instill trust. Those who were suspicious or leery earlier this week might be willing to listen to your ideas today. This is a good time for creative focus and networking.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can't win a competition, but you can prevail by acting independently. Rather than trying to outdo someone else, just judge your success on your own barometer. A partner has excellent business savvy.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone could say the magic words that unlock your originality and pep you up just when energies are lagging. There is a tendency to indulge in lavish entertainments or overdo expenditures on luxuries.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can look, but don't touch. There is a difference between love and friendship. The person who is lighting the fire in your heart this weekend might have only brotherly or sisterly ideas and motives.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You won't need a translator to understand trade talks and geek speak. Technological matters that have tried your patience in the past may become suddenly clear. You sparkle at social events in the week ahead.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A trip to Fantasy Island might be on your calendar. It is a good time to dream about romance and riches, but not a good time to gamble with money. If you absolutely must spend, get a second opinion.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Break free from the lack of financial security by squeezing those pennies. Use your imagination or the latest technologies to create savings. As Ben Franklin said, "A penny saved is a penny earned."

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep your eye on the ball. You must look for an opening or opportunity to take action. Leap up and put the ball in the basket or swing as the ball crosses the plate because that is how to play the game.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A little goes a long way. Show off with a creative and innovative flair, as it may be just the thing to get attention and win applause. At the same time, do not spend excess money just to impress others.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Flattery can be your downfall. You may be so pleased to be singled out for praise that you might pay too much for something unsuitable or agree to something that is not in your best interest financially.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unplug and become entirely engaged in the world around you. Social events don't need to be a spectator sport. If you are looking for romance, Cupid's arrows might hit the target; be ready for action.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): For a seed to grow, it must be placed in the right environment. In the week to come, it is wise to stick to appropriate venues where you can safely achieve your goals. Avoid daydreaming.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Try to be accurate rather than vague. You won't want to waste time spinning your wheels. There may be enormous pressure on you to perform at your best, so schedule plenty of breaks and get lots of rest.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Every crisis you handle with dignity adds to your stature. You may run into resistance if you attempt to implement innovative methods. Wait for better timing to revise and refresh your agenda.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Resist scratching the itch. You may be edgy or poised to make major changes. This might not be the best time to make a big splash or call attention to yourself by being the first one in line for the latest rage.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You won't get ahead by lagging behind. Take the bull by the horns and accept challenges to your authority with stoicism. You could be lulled into a false sense of safety if you ignore the call of obligations.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fast talking can get you out of a jam. You can find the needed facts at your fingertips and others will come running to help you out with a snap of the fingers. Tackle jobs that need manual dexterity.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Git along little dogies. This is a good day to ride herd on social activities and spend quality time with a significant other who is in a loving mood. Accept invitations or call your friends together.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Ask for favors without fear. In the week to come, you can call in a few favors or ask for help without worrying that you have gone too far or been too pushy. Your hobbies or children can become a source of pride.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hummingbirds head straight for the nectar. If you are not making the progress you would like, it is because you have set no goals or lack the skills to form viable objectives. Decide what you want.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Yield to oncoming traffic. When love is involved, you don't always need to have your way or push to the front of the line. It may be expedient to offer to compromise or to let someone else have their say.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Roll out the barrel and you'll have a barrel of fun. You have the determination to see a project through to the end, but companions and co-workers might be too busy socializing to be much help to you.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the money and run. You might feel like the gangster of love to someone who feels it necessary to pay you off with gifts or treats. You aren't stealing whatever is given freely and without strings attached.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction -- and you can line them up just like tic-tac-toe. Your contacts are equitable about spreading the referrals around. Creative techniques make the work or business much more rewarding.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Channel your desires into activities that please a significant other. Don't settle for the pedestrian when you can easily set your sights on the exceptional. Don't be disappointed if a dream doesn't come true.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): See each chore as a challenge to overcome rather than a laborious bore. Set your own agenda in the week ahead and set out to do the best you can. Additional organization is needed. Keep things light.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stay the course. No matter what pitfalls or obstacles are ahead, do not deviate from the original plan. To get through the next few days, you'll need to rely on yourself rather than expect aid from others.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep whims in check. You may feel the need to make an impulsive decision or purchase. Realize that what may look enticing now could seem a bit foolish later on. Your best bet is to stick with routines.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Set the wheels in motion. Now is the time for new things, such as a new project, partnership or romance. A new romance could turn out to be nothing more than a brief fling, but you'll be glad for the experience.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Bide your time. You are champing at the bit to move forward, but conditions are such that the best course of action is to be patient and wait. Insurmountable obstacles will be easier to conquer tomorrow.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Settle only for the best. Indulge your tastes for the finer things in life. Put your good taste on display for all too see in business or social situations. The green light shines on parties and social gatherings.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The tougher the challenge, the greater the satisfaction. Tackle any project that requires precision and an eye for detail. Social affairs may prove disappointing or require too much tact and diplomacy.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Insist on appropriate portions. When you aren't getting your fair share of the duvet, you are more likely to notice the chill morning air and outside conditions. This week, you can successfully insist on cooperation.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cheaters never prosper. You can't move the goal post just because you have the ball firmly in your grip. It would be nice to change your objectives if that gives you an advantage, but it might not be fair.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The established norms are irksome. Routines and responsibilities stifle your ingenuity and creativity. Bypass and ignore people who doubt you, criticize you, or are just plain unpleasant and arrogant.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A promise can be a pledge. You are a powerhouse of initiative that champs at the bit when held back by necessity. Obstacles and limitations that reappear from the past could continue to cause frustration.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Accentuate the positive. Focus on showing appreciation for the strengths of others, rather than their weaknesses. Minor misunderstandings with an intimate companion can be cleared up with frankness.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Although you may be elected to settle disputes because you are seen as a neutral party, don't be distracted from business as usual. This is no time to be a cutthroat pirate to achieve financial gain.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take it easy and enjoy what you already have. It isn't necessary to go on a buying spree, as what you need the most is probably right in your own backyard. Don't get in a competition to outdo a mate.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The way you live your life is your message to the world. Aim your energies in the right direction in the week to come and strive to be fair. You can't make business and career your only objective.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nobility can be costly. You may successfully pose as a jack-of-all-trades even if you know nothing about some things, but a tendency to go overboard as a generous benefactor might not pan out.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Skate through the day, but avoid thin ice. Those you interact with will know how to jump start the engines of commerce to get things done. Follow good examples but don't start off in new directions.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fight fire with fire. A show of enthusiasm will strike a harmonious chord with a significant other in your life. Get important business matters tended to early in the day so you can smooch tonight.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You must give a little to get a little. You have to find the straw before you can spin it into gold. Perfect attunement with your opposite number can make a relationship soar to new heights of ecstasy.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Say no more. Like an offbeat comedy skit, your love life could become a source of surprise and inspiration. Relationships that give you a definite sense of security may also serve to tie you down.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Clip coupons before you head out shopping. Tighten the proverbial belt when buying the small things and the big things will take care of themselves. Be poised to handle unexpected bills or burdens.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pair intelligence with persistence to prevail. You might have an itchy trigger finger but the OK corral is not in your itinerary. Don't shoot off your mouth or ask loaded questions in the week ahead.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Reconsider a pending purchase. Although it seems like the best avenue to take to obtain your goals, you might be biting off more than you can chew. Realize that your motives are temporarily off center.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you simply won't take no for an answer, remember that some yeses you receive won't make you happy in the long run. You are prone to spending money on things that are not quite what they seem.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make an effort to see the similarities. You might visualize the ways that you and your friends are all squares in the same quilt. Today you may need to fight off a tendency to be hyper critical or isolated.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "Love 'em and leave 'em" might be the quote of the day. Don't begin a romantic relationship if you are looking for permanency, as you may be briefly spellbound by the excitement of something different.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When your intuition tells you that something doesn't suit your needs, pay attention. This is a good time for creative activities, but not a good time for business contracts, negotiations or financial maneuvering.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Falling prey to a fleeting fad or desire might cost you more than you can afford. The latest hot romantic attraction might scorch your fingers. Don't try to get attention by flaunting a flirtation at your mate.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): This isn't the time to change your tune. Don't pursue a new romance even if you are tired of playing in the lonely hearts club band. You should resist the itch to act defensively in the upcoming week.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Every road leads somewhere. Somewhere may be over the rainbow -- or not. It is time to be more philosophical and to quit fighting your fate. Wherever the road leads you is probably where you belong.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Forgive and forget. Of course, the desire to compete and win at all costs is compelling, but in order to get along with others and obtain cooperation, you need to be considerate and tolerant, too.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The seasons turn and you might sense that a change is taking place. If you don't have the heart or the energy to pursue a dream, it probably wasn't worth it in the first place.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your efforts to be fascinating fall flat. Rather than angling to make a romantic conquest, it's time to be humble. You may think poorly of a proposal on the table, even when concessions are offered.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): On the first day of fall, you should be sure to give equal time to your day job and your love life. You are prone to running off in search of adventure or might meet unusual or unpredictable people.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The rebel without a cause is revealed. Someone might adopt the opposite viewpoint just to be contrary. You might have too many irons in the fire and be spread too thin to take on any additional obligations.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you insist on having the freedom to gamble, you must accept the freedom to lose. In the week to come, place emphasis on romantic pursuits and intelligent communications while steering clear of risk.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Your charming manners can attract others to your side, so this is a good time to seek support or impress others if you stifle a desire to implement drastic changes to procedures.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To be popular, you could say anything. Rather than cause offense, someone might flatter you. You might become the victim of reassurances or promises that nobody, least of all you, intends to keep.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't play hard to get, as someone might take your coyness at face value. Fulfill the expectations of others if you want to derive the biggest benefit from situations. Take time out to pamper yourself.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The tried and true has its merits. Sometimes traveling in the ruts is the best way to reach the destination. You may grow impatient with loved ones who take their time or who refuse to take chances.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The thirst for power cannot be slaked. Abandon your passion for recognition without making drastic changes and concentrate on love, affection and romance if you want your fantasies fulfilled.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Intimate relationships take center stage. Loved ones may have enormous ambition, but be constrained by the chains of past poor judgment. You can steady the helm and guide them to success.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need speed to succeed. You can achieve fulfillment through spontaneous, spur-of-the moment activities rather than by overthinking matters this week. Create alliances and indulge creativity.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't restrict yourself with limits. You are able to achieve any goal though simple willpower today. A sustained effort will erode any walls or barriers that stand in your way. Perseverance is the key.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stoke the embers of romance. The enthusiasms that bubble over can make you the target of someone's affection. You can safely make key financial decisions that greatly benefit your pocket book and future.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get motivated. No project is going to take care of itself, so it's time to jump in and get the ball rolling. If you find that you have painted yourself into a corner, use your instincts to get out of it gracefully.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Prepare for all contingencies and adapt to any situation in order to prevent future mishaps. Your first impressions of people will be right on the mark.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Discuss the future. Relationships are highlighted and you are able to discuss your relationship plans with your partner with ease. Agreements and contracts should be handled carefully and if anything is not to your liking, postpone.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Dreams are great, but reality pays the bills. You can reach any goal you set for yourself, just as long as those goals are realistic. You're better off listening to your head rather than your heart today.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more you do, the more that comes up. This week, you are eager to try something new at the drop of the hat and relationships seem exciting and delightful. By midweek, however, you must be more serious.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more you do, the more that comes up. This week, you are eager to try something new at the drop of the hat and relationships seem exciting and delightful. By midweek, however, you must be more serious.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Chin up. The job or other responsibilities might keep you from your favorite hobby or from spending time with a loved one. It is always good to remember that anything worth having is worth waiting for.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The mirror can reflect all of your flaws when you are placed in an unflattering light. Tonight's full moon in your sign might mark the high tide of dissatisfaction with a relationship - or with yourself.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Most people adore your rugged independent spirit. Serious souls hampered by heavy workloads, however, might resent any infraction of the rules. Respect the conventions until recess rolls around.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Negotiations and deals could reach a stalemate. Rather than pushing and prodding, use delaying tactics and revise deadlines. Wait a few more days to finalize anything important to get the best results.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Leave room for adjustment. Don't take important financial steps now, as you might spend too much, but plan to act in the near future. It is possible you lack an accurate picture of what is involved.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The recent dip in enthusiasm disappears. Tiresome humdrum routine gives way as exciting social matters start popping. Physical exercise will clear out the cobwebs and give you a sense of accomplishment.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will never grow too old for childlike trust. When Tinker Bell's light flickered the support of staunch believers helped her recover. Reassure others and prove that you can keep your promises this week.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be prudent with your pennies. To be in style, you could be out of luck. You might not have a clear picture of where your dollars are going or could get the urge to buy something frivolous on a whim.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be amorously adventurous. Even if you are usually timid, you will find security by holding hands. Connect with a special someone so you can explore new ways to express affection or visit new places.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Go with the flow. The mood and politics at the workplace could shift, so remain flexible and adaptable. Brainstorm financial matters or get advice from a professional on any matter crucial to your success.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do your own thing. To be a cog in the machinery of success won't require the sacrifice of your independence. It is possible that your ability to act purposefully without supervision is your most valuable asset.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The changes that occur in career or business in the next few days may be all for the best. A new romance might be alluring, but offer you a mystery to solve, since you do not believe fantasies can become reality.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wait for the fog to clear. Banish the sneaking feeling that you have been gullible and just wait it out. In the next few days, relationships will get back on track. What seems confusing now will be clarified.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mingle if you are single. You want to relate to another person on a deep and soulful level and aren't afraid to make the first move. In the week ahead, an enthusiastic but somewhat aggressive approach works.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The heart is in the right place, even if it doesn't beat around the bush. Someone's approach might seem rude or abrupt, but like a fine piece of chocolate, there is a soft center lurking beneath the surface.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You want what you want. Be more tactful. Don't let minor frustrations or misunderstandings build up to a point of no return. Concentrate on constructive activities and making improvements.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wish upon a star that never fails to twinkle. If you really want something, you are bound to receive it through persistence. Shake off the little irritations of life; concentrate on what brings joy and happiness.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To hit pay dirt, you might need to get your hands dirty in the week to come. Through hard work and persistence, your financial dreams could come true. The romance that eludes you today is found later.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To everything there is a season. Romantic relationships could end up somewhat out of kilter tonight. Be content to play the gracious host to costumed visitors or snuggle up in front of the TV with leftover treats.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Try hard, but not too hard. It is wonderful to please other people, but your efforts to attract a special someone might be over the top. Team up with someone who can fill in the gaps in your knowledge

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): No matter how special you are, it is still necessary to follow the rules. Taking the middle path can keep you out of harm's way. Remain stoic even if others seem determined to throw down the gauntlet.

[teapeebubbles]

If November 3, 2011, is your birthday

Group dynamics may still require your tact and patience, but you will have ample opportunities to break free of restrictions in the upcoming year. In December and April, you will find that what is most important to you improves and that whatever is closest to your heart will head in a much better direction. The moment that you quit clinging to the past, exciting new doors will open that can create permanent benefits and long-term joy. It will be necessary to tend to obligations you have already accumulated during the year ahead, but you will be pleased by the vision of a brighter future, as well.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hide and seek. You may be the live wire with the enthusiasm that motivates others, but remember that not everyone is impressed by your antics. Those easily provoked may hide their animosity.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It isn't necessarily your actions, but your reactions, that must be controlled. Concentrate on making sure that your possessions are well cared for and that you have made ample plans for the future.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Prepare for the long winter ahead. This is the best time to rake up the leaves or get the snow tires on the truck. You could take advantage of end-of-the-year tax deductions before you run out of time.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week to come, you are prone to adopting the hedgehog defense when you feel threatened. Lucky for you, your closest friends and loved ones will demonstrate a generosity of spirit that boosts confidence.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Blondes - and blonds - have more fun, they say. It does not become you to resent a statement like this or to even buy into any common statements that have no proof to back them up. Ignore intuitions and silly suspicions.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hold your horses. Impetuous actions could be punished. Ignore the impulse to stir things up, as this may cause unsatisfactory results. You will achieve twice as much when in tandem with a partner.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unless your living room is in Las Vegas, what happens there isn't likely to stay there. Be discreet and avoid entanglements that could threaten your stable home and family life. Don't act on impulse or a whim.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The future may look rosier from a distance. It is OK to ride high on a bubble of enthusiasm, as long as you don't neglect ordinary tasks. Reasonable donations to good causes might make good business sense.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Maintain the rhythm of routine. Stick to a work ethic that has served you well in the past. If you measure twice and cut once, no one will be able to find flaws in your work. Daydreaming can be counterproductive.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Impractical ideas might have a practical application. Let someone else critique your plans, hopes and dreams and you might be able to find a way to "make it so." Don't let one "no" discourage you.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fools and their money are soon parted. There is nothing that can be bought that you can't live without. Don't waste your cash in the week to come; you are better suited to spend time on creative pursuits.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do it with style. You can't go wrong by showing off your good taste and a flare for fashion. Don't be afraid to try something a little out of the ordinary or non-routine. Creative and artistic pursuits prosper.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Taste is all relative, but some things are just too outlandish to even consider. When in doubt, ask the opinion of a close friend or colleague to prevent an embarrassing faux pas. Puzzles are right up your alley.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Ask and you shall receive. There's no point in running yourself ragged to accomplish a goal when all you need to do is ask for help. Look for lucrative opportunities to show up on your front door.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy and wise. Maintain reasonable hours; you will need plenty of rest to attack the tasks that ignite your enthusiasms on both ends of the candle.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take a deep breath and focus. You are filled with plenty of energy, but it will do you no good unless you concentrate on moving forward. Don't leap to one side in an argument before facts are made clear.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are not a nonconformist if everyone else is doing it, too. Being truly original and genuine is more than acting like a rebel stereotype. Follow your instincts to make choices that make you happy.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get psyched. In the week to come, you can accomplish a great deal through sheer will power. When others seem lost and confused, you will be able to execute a plan and make progress without direction.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame. People might appreciate your energetic approach to problems. You might receive a flash of inspiration from a magazine article or online blog that helps you in business or career.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Give thanks for all the good things in life. You have everything you need. Taking pride in your possessions and giving them the care they deserve is a reflection upon how highly you value yourself.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Shop not, regret not. All the excitement at the mall might seem extraordinarily inviting, but you won't be satisfied by purchases made today. Unusual escapades might also disappoint.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may learn to be more adventurous and unconventional by rubbing shoulders with those of a more liberal philosophy. An opportunity to take a calculated risk with money may appear this weekend.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mend your fences, don't tear them down. During the week ahead, a natural desire to do your best may be perceived by others as aggressiveness. Let others guide your hand when purchasing tasteful items.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Resist the irresistible. Keep your wallet buttoned up in your pocket. People may be in the mood to argue, so keep your attention directed fully on current responsibilities. It is a poor time to make waves.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Change your tune and tune-up your outlook. If you can prove you are working for the common good, you will be seen as a hero. Innovation and ingenious solutions will win you a comforting pat on the back.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The friction you sense isn't fiction. Your outgoing nature can't be squashed by mere mortals, but you should be sensitive to signs that co-workers or the boss are aggravated by your take charge manner.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Adopting a self-reliant attitude is the best road to success. If you are preoccupied with comparing your performance to others or weighing what you against what you don't have, you lose traction.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Shake a tail feather. You can show off when birds of a feather flock together. Get out and about; attend a community occasion or sports event. You could meet a flirtatious new partner while roller skating.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mingle if you're single. Although this isn't a good time to make a commitment or promise, it could be a perfect time to make the first move or approach someone who has built a fire in your heart.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Straight not crooked. The assumption may be that in order to win the game, you must cheat. Those who aspire to be coldblooded competitors could be tempted to perform a complicated sleight-of-hand.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Surrender to addictions and passions, but remain realistic. A sense of adventure that prods you to explore your fantasies can have both pros and cons. You may be led astray by wishful thinking or waste your energies.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Getting ahead without losing your head may be your challenge today. You are willing to work hard to make your dreams come true, but may take on too much. Wishful thinking won't make it so.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tricks are for kids. Aim all of your energies into worthy constructive activities, even if you are tempted to spin your wheels pursuing a fantasy. It is impractical to play some whimsical practical jokes.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. Wait to see which way the wind blows before acting. A nagging voice in the back of your head might prompt you to be calculating when intuition is needed.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Plans may need to change as the full moon sheds light on family issues. A determined focus on maintaining the status quo may interfere with flexibility. Try to be less demanding and more understanding.

[teapeebubbles]

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Control your animal instincts. Once gripped by passion, there is no holding you back - so aim as high as you can. You can organize and obey a set of rules without losing focus on your own ends.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might yearn for greener pastures - but right now, they are all brown. You must face the fact that it is the wrong season for love. You suffer from poor timing when you try to satisfy romantic fantasies.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pull your own weight. It might be a good time to demonstrate your willingness to cooperate with others by splitting the tab or doing your fair share. You can help out when others are in obvious need.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fantasies can be fulfilled. Necessity might require that you toe the line with time-consuming career matters, but there is a strong likelihood that you will encounter warm arms waiting in the wings tonight.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It is one thing to benefit from knowing people, but another thing to be taken advantage of. People may react harshly if they are being taken for granted or used. Criticism can drive a wedge between friends.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't make errors for the sake of economy. A good deal may be hard to pass up, but take a step back and make sure you are not acting impulsively or contrary to your own best interest early in the week.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are taking an inner trip from co-dependence to no dependence. Therefore, you might believe that if you are expected to give others gifts, that you deserve one too. Avoid splurging on personal items.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Start feeling your oats. You can kick up your heels; try early morning exercise to start the day. A knack for using common sense and practical solutions can cut through the fog of political expediency.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Build your self-esteem. By doing the things that earn you appreciation and a pat on the back, you can improve your spirits. When you realize you can share some of your bounty with others, you improve relationships.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Remain balanced as you beam. Your mind could be riveted on holiday entertainments while job, career or work schedule is relegated to second place. You must not ignore obligations.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enjoy spring in your step and summer in your heart. It may be the first day of winter, but it could also be the first day of a holiday vacation for you, as well. Don't be the fall guy; get good advice.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer got to have the last word. Even if others find you a bit eccentric, your talents can come to the forefront to save the day. You will get an opportunity to shine this weekend.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be suffering from lingering Christmas joy. The general mood of the season will help you and a special someone become that much closer. Just because Christmas is past does not mean you should stop giving.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A bundle of energy needs an outlet. The daily grind may not be enough to pacify your restlessness. Go in for some physical activity; take a walk, go work out, or get a pickup game of basketball together.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look for inspiration to show you the way. You can find ways to expand your horizons and gain new knowledge from simple, everyday situations. Romantic pursuits may be just a wild goose chase.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Things have been running smoothly lately and there's no need to shake things up with unnecessary changes. What has worked for you in the past will keep working for you.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Speak softly and carry a big stick. Show compassion and understanding when leading a project, but don't be afraid to crack the whip when necessary. Let loved ones know you care through a special treat.

[teapeebubbles]

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't let old acquaintances be forgotten. As the new year approaches, take time to catch up with friends you may have lost touch with. Lasting relationships are built over time; physical attractions fade quickly.
