Horoscopes: Tuesday, March 5, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While worrying alone does not solve problems, realizing that there’s something that could go wrong is step one. Step two is figuring out what to do to about it: How to avoid it, or how to better prepare for that possible outcome.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re interested, and now there’s an opportunity to dip your toe into the proverbial pool. You won’t have to totally immerse yourself to satisfy your curiosity and gain some experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Not everyone is comfortable sharing feelings. Some people you know are very encouraging and supportive and yet not demonstrative. Still, you can feel the love and compassion whenever you’re in their presence.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s your goal to be compassionate and respectful, though you may not have articulated it quite like that. There are people you admire that embody those qualities and you want to be like them. In fact, you already are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone is observing something different at any given moment. You’ll share memories, compare notes and be surprised at which details stand out to other people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To enjoy and be friendly with people without feeling compelled to spend a lot more time with them than necessary is the definition of “acquaintanceship.” Who crosses to the next level? Choose carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a complaint. You’re right about it. But it’s not something that you’ll be able to change today. Accept it, and log it in your mental banks for now. Solutions and opportunities will come. Stay positive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you assume the door is locked, then you won’t be able to open it. Don’t assume. Watch the others. Maybe the door is heavy and needs a shove, or temperamental and needs a jiggle of the handle. Watch and copy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A live streaming camera can tell you what life is like now on the Las Vegas Strip, a city square in Madrid or the jungle of Costa Rica. Looking around helps you appreciate both the world and what’s going on in your part of it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes it feels like you’re the only one around using rational thought in a culture that prefers letting the person with the biggest ego call the shots regardless of what’s logical. Stay rational.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe it looks like the side you’re on doesn’t have a chance, but this is early in the game. Besides, if you’re confident enough to take action, then you’ve already won.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To get things done your way at the price you’d prefer would be wonderful, but it’s not in the offering. The good news is that the compromise that is in the offering will be better in the end anyway.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 5). You’ll spend time with people who, though they are from different parts of the world, seem to be made from the same soul material as you are. Doing well on an intellectual or academic test in April helps you to leap forward in your purpose. Financial gain comes from communicating your ideas very well. Sagittarius and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30, 14, 22 and 36.
