Horoscopes: March 4, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are the invincible, all-powerful, benevolent warrior. You're also the mild-mannered opposite, content to blend in with society until it's clear that the people around you need heroic help.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to make sure that you're delivering all you can, doing your best, providing more quality than the other guy. A less analytical approach will serve you well. Once you relax, you'll do even better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Bad times produce bad feelings, which produce bad times, etc. The same pattern will play out when times are good, exciting, interesting. Decide which tone you want to play in, and start playing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If it all goes exactly as planned, you'll start to fall asleep midway. Alternately, a plan that goes awry can be just the beautiful bit of chaos you need to turn a regular day into a story.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In business, "no" isn't a bad answer, especially if it happens to come right on the heels of the question. It's much better to get a fast "no" then a "maybe" that wastes your time by dragging on indefinitely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're thoughtful, playful, and artful. You add your style to every interaction, which is so attractive. Take your time. Enjoy yourself. The others certainly are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Nothing happens randomly. Even tropical storms are organized. Your strong intention will act as an organizing force. Everything fortuitous will occur as a result of good organization.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The language of love is humor. Make someone laugh, and you'll win that person's heart, attention, and affection. You may even win devotion, dollars, and a permanent spot in the inner circle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The good news you'll hear is actually an iceberg situation: The part that is readily apparent above the water is a mere implication as to the 90 percent of massive goodness that lies beneath.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It used to be that you had to force yourself to look on the bright side. Then you coerced yourself until, gradually, all you had to do was suggest it to yourself. Now, optimism is easy; all you have to do is choose it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What's favored: finishing unfinished business, righting a past wrong, turning the tables, flipping the switch, making a change. What's not advised: Waiting.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You support your friends, show up to their events, celebrate their victories, and give help when they need it. Much of your weekend may be taken up in this regard, and it will be time well-spent.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 4). You have fans and more attention than you're used to. The person you find most interesting is the one who is genuinely fascinated with you. The next 10 weeks show you getting a work project into good shape. You may sell this in June. Family moves affect your domestic life. July brings a fantastic makeover. Gemini and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 42, 25, 1, 19, and 37.
