Horoscopes week of March 8

The Saturn-Neptune opposition, which inflates everyone's sense of doom and despair, is getting a break as Jupiter offers liberating insights.

ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Stuck in the same old routine with your friends? You could suggest something new and different. Better yet, just go ahead and try out whatever interests you. Let them tag along or not.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Domestic duties and uncertainty at work have you in a crazy, confusing tug-of-war. Even if you can't really escape your problems, a diversion – preferably a crazy, wildly erotic adventure – will help clear the mind and give you a creative perspective.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): Listen to arguments; only say enough to draw out new opinions. Trying to win debates will only backfire; getting new information and perspectives will prove immensely enriching, not just intellectually, but also to your relationship.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): It's not unusual for erotic ideals to be at odds with practical concerns, but you're feeling that tension acutely now. Attending to your own health or seeking opportunities at work may seem a diversion from that, but at least you'll find some resolution to the conflict there.

LEO (July 23 – August 22): Uncertainty about your partnership can make you cranky and controlling, which only makes things worse. Look for new ways to play together. A trip abroad would be ideal, but on such short notice a foreign film, festival, or art show is probably more feasible.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Home is rarely a safe haven from illness and accidents. But cleaning house, purging clutter, and organizing what's left will make it safer. Getting family to help, or turning up old family treasures, will offer revelations.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Discuss political or social strategies with close friends, or better yet, a sibling. On your own, you're too likely to make awkward gaffes. Lady Luck seems to be against you now, but you'll score big in the larger game for being a good sport.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Hidden treasure in your home? Or some enriching family lore from your mother? Something should turn up that may seem to provoke a professional challenge but will actually help you clear that hurdle.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): You really can't stay out of arguments now, so just don't take them too seriously. You will flub some basic details and facts and undermine your own assertions. Provoking discussion and learning from your mistakes are good, too.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Sex and money are typical sources of worry. Problems, however real, are much smaller than they seem. Stop fretting, pull back, relax, and meditate – or take a hike. Getting perspective is half the battle – and, sensibly, it should be the first half!

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): If you meet your "perfect love" now, it could be a disastrous mistake. Run as fast and far as you can. Even indulging in mere lust is an invitation to horrible diseases. Existing relationships need work, too, but at least there is hope with some help from your friends.

PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Work, work, work! Take time out only to meditate, charge your batteries, and eat and exercise, of course. Trust your instincts, take cues from your dreams, and apply your deepest resources to the tasks at hand. Success is within reach, but only if you make a serious effort.
