Daily horoscopes: March 20, 2019

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

You undergo a new trial by fire and it's one where you get to prove your own mettle.  You'll pass with flying colors.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

For the next four weeks you'll be finishing up old business while initiating new projects.  It may be confusing at times – like what's winding up and what's winding down? - but you'll manage.

(May 21 - June 20):

You finally uncover the reason for why someone has been so secretive. And it's a doozey!  You'll need some time to process this.

It's time to reestablish the balance in your relationships and for loved ones to give more than they take.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

You begged someone to help you out of a bind and s/he did.  But now you want to say you did it yourself.  Rethink it.  Give credit where credit's due.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Why are you obeying rules that everybody else blithely ignores? You imposed them so you can remove them. It's time to stop handicapping yourself.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

This is the perfect time to formalize an agreement or sign on for a venture. Expect complications, but you can handle them.

SCORPIO.

That moment of truth won't go as expected.  It may even prove to be unsettling.  But don't worry.  Everything will turn out for the best.

CAPRICORN.

You get paranoid when you're over tired, so just ask people to explain themselves.  You'll discover there's nothing hidden about their agendas.

People are unusually demanding.  Moreover they're asking things of you that they would never ask of themselves.  Thankfully all of this lightens up after the 29th.

Why I’m here for short engagements

Short engagements are the new norm and I’m so here for it. I’ve gotten so many excited “I got the ring!” calls and then invites to the wedding in just a few months or even weeks. This is a big change from the traditional year engagement, or even longer. Historically, people have waited that long because they need the time to plan the wedding Read more

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

What makes perfect sense to you doesn't to others.  It's no use repeating yourself.  You need to find another way to get your message across.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

An intimate faces a predicament similar to one that you went through recently. Your commiseration and insight would be greatly appreciated now.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Stop holding the door open for someone who has no intention of following through now.  This person will enter when the time is right.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Don't let yourself get distracted by unfinished business especially since anything left undone now may soon prove irrelevant.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Your partner's going through a rough time - and so are you.  Let sympathy for each other's position bring you together.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

There's a grain of truth to feeling used, but you also played a part in it. Owing up to your side in the matter will allow you to break this vicious cycle.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Sometimes you can bring up the opposite point of view one too many times and today is it.  Do yourself a favor and agree to disagree.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Try to think of something positive you can bring to the table.  You may find a place setting waiting for you.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

A private matter is resolved today.  It won't turn out the way you like, but the way that it does turn out is for the best.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

You give sage advice, but sometimes it can be too critical.  Try a kinder, gentler approach by speaking to people in the way that you would want to be spoken to.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Don't make any final decisions yet because important information is still trickling in.  You'll know where things stand after Wednesday.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Intuitive powers are spot-on and you're right about people's hidden agendas.  But that still doesn't mean they'll act on them.  Don't confuse subtext with text.

Daily horoscopes: March 18, 2019

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

A loved one is brusque because s/he's overworked. You know what that's like.  This should be grounds for camaraderie, not conflict.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

A sibling or close friend reveals something shocking.  Don't be judgmental.  Speak from the heart, not the moral high ground.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Sometimes the best way to appreciate what you have is to see it through someone else's eyes.  You're fortunate to live the life you're living.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Be everyone's upper today and make the rounds. Whether visiting neighbors or chatting with co-workers, your words of encouragement work wonders.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

Something that began as a lark (or was it a dare?) grows into a true passion. What's even more wonderful is how it also makes you a better person.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

There's something to be said for "look but don't touch".  If you could have it, you'd be over it; yet anticipation leaves you in a state of fluttery excitement.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

Sometimes being new to a situation allows you to catch things others miss.  Point out that gaffe or inconsistency and save the day.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Time to switch mental gears.  You could trip yourself up bracing for the worse when you should be anticipating the best.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You can overrule the naysayers, but you still have to deal with them.  Their concerns are valid and you should hear them out.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

A loved one asks for help, but you're reluctant because when you did this before it was a disaster.  Map out terms now and there will be no surprises.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

For someone who knows so many people, it's weird how little you draw on this valuable resource.  The wealth of their experience is yours for the asking.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Are you getting too full of yourself?  The Moon in egotistical Leo brings out your inner puffer fish.  Exhale.

Daily horoscopes: March 15, 2019

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

Most people avoid long shots, but not you.  You believe in making a running jump for the brass ring which is why you will walk away with it today.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

You assumed a higher up would protect your interests when the time came, so it's disillusioning to find s/he's a no-show.  It's OK.  You can look out after yourself.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Sum up what you have to say in two to three sentences. People aren't interested in reading the whole long email chain. You want to make your point, not hide it.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

You see the writing on the wall, but colleagues won't believe you.  Maybe it's time to let them decipher it for themselves?  You've been covering for them too long.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

A friend provides an assist.  You're grateful but also feel a little guilty for neglecting this person.  It's never too late to make up for lost time.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

You're doing it again.  Stop picking around for faults and undoing all the good you've done.  Sit on your hands if need be.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

People are signing on because of you, so this isn't the time for second thoughts.  If they believe in you then maybe it's time you did too.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

Money is made available for you to use at your discretion.  Remember that the word is "discretion" and not "spend."

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You've been looking for an advisor you can trust.  Thankfully you find the genuine article today.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

A financial decision that lay further down the road is suddenly up close and personal.  Ironically it doesn't look bad.  It may even be a no-brainer.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Don't question something that's settled.  Stand by the decision that's in place and others will do the same.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

Appearances are deceiving today.  That person you think is selling you down the river is actually trying to pull off a last minute rescue.

Tips to bring feminism into your hetero relationship

I get all kinds of crap for how I run my business. Most of it rolls off my back. After all, haters gonna hate!

Does my strategy for romance acknowledge certain gender-based relationship norms? Of course it does! But, only because they’re the norm. Meaning normally that’s what my clients want and expect Read more
