Horoscope: Monday, Mar 9

You need to give both your mind and your body time to recover from recent exertions. With Mercury moving into the wellbeing area of your chart today you must realize that you don’t have to work twice as hard as everyone else to get ahead.

Your lust for life has been nothing to write home about in recent weeks but now both Venus and Mercury have moved into your sign your enthusiasm should start to pick up once more. The good days are here again. The great days won’t be far behind.

There is some likelihood that the mood at home is fraught with tension, Taurus. Did you dare to express some contrary intellectual opinion? In any case, it looks like your self-confidence is stronger than usual right now. Go ahead and express any complaints or opinions you may have been keeping to yourself. But try and do it gently, especially where your family is concerned.

A friend or family member needs your assistance and you will pull out all the stops to make sure they are okay. But you must also make it clear to them that this is not going to become a regular thing – next time they are on their own.

You have been a little too cautious in recent weeks but now the Sun is moving in your favor again you will go to the other extreme and take risks willingly. What the results will be remains to be seen but it feels good to be busy again.

You are so in tune with someone’s inner feelings that you will be able to predict what they need most over the next 24 hours. If you cannot give it to them personally make an effort to find someone who can. Everyone needs a friend like you!

Financially you are going through a fortunate phase but in other areas of life a number of little things appear to be going wrong. But appearances can be deceptive. Most likely your expectations are rising so fast that Lady Luck cannot keep up!

Stick rigidly to the facts today and don’t let someone with a way with words persuade you that they know better than what your own brain tells you. The more they try to convince you the more likely it is they are aiming to deceive you.

Some people clearly take great delight in disagreeing with what you say and do but you must not let it get to you. Close your ears to their complaints (you’ve heard them all before) and keep doing what you are doing, only more so.

Most things you tackle now will work out well. This is one of the best times of the year for getting things done, so don’t hold back – go all out to be a winner in the game of life. And do so with a smile on your face.

Make sure others know what you will and will not put up with in life. One of the reasons there have been so many arguments of late is that you have allowed some people to act like children. It’s time to be the adult in the room.

Do you tell the truth and risk hurting a loved one’s feelings or do you lie and hope they never find out? Only you can decide but if past experience is anything to go by honesty is the best policy. The truth always comes out in the end.

For quite some time you have been working behind the scenes, happy to get on with things without calling attention to yourself. Now, however, you must go to the other extreme and make as much noise as you can. Let the world know you still exist.

This is a good time to take a stand on an issue that you may have been vacillating about lately, Scorpio. People will lose confidence in you if you can't seem to make up your mind. What they don't realize is that you've been working overtime to process all the information. Now it's time to express orally what you've discovered mentally.

The Sun in the domestic area of your chart will bring certain problems to a head today but that’s good because it means you will have to deal with them, instead of ignoring them like you usually do. You must face up to family and emotional issues.

The safest course of action today is to believe that what you are being told is only half the story. Someone is trying to confuse you by making a big issue of one thing while ignoring a more important topic. Don’t let them get away with it.

If a friend says something a bit hurtful today don’t get in a huff about it. Most likely they mean well but lack your ability to wrap up criticism in the kind of sugar coating that doesn’t make it sound so bad. You’re big enough to take it.

You can’t help but get impatient with people who seem to require you to explain things three or four times before they get the picture, but you can help the way you choose to interact with them. Not everyone can be as quick on the uptake as you.

There is a definite luck factor working in your favor at the moment but don’t let it blind you to the realities of your situation. That applies as much to your love life as it does to your career. There is still a lot of work to be done.

Your fantasies could come true now, especially when it comes to relationships, Aquarius. This could be the moment you've always dreamed about, so get ready. The attractive, romantic person in the corner has been keeping an eye on you all night. Your blood is pumping faster than ever. Remind yourself that all dreams can come true on a day such as today.

Take it slow and easy today, Pisces. With the energy from the day's aspects, rushing around isn't likely to get you too far. In fact, you're more apt to make mistakes or leave a bunch of things unfinished. Make your to-do list and go about each thing one at a time at an even pace. Even if you don't finish everything, what you accomplish will be done well.
