The Herald

Tomorrows Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2013 This could be a very interesting year where your earnings are concerned, but dont leave anything to chance. If you put forth the effort and you handle things properly, you could end up making more money than ever. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you employ a little elbow grease, something you desperately want could come within your grasp. However, dont rely on Lady Luck to do everything for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Lucky you: You have a very dependable friend who will come to your aid when you need it the most. Your pal will help out quietly, but dont let that stop you from showing your gratitude. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your brain will be like a sponge, enabling you to absorb whatever knowledge you need. Youll use it advantageously, to boot. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- One of your best assets is your ability to fit well into others projects, making your input and presence an integral part of the whole. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Youve done your best to continuously improve your negotiating skills. This will become evident when an agreement needs hammering out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Someone you helped in the past has been eager to find a way to repay you in some manner. What he or she ends up doing will be worth more than your original act. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Something quite pleasant as well as a bit extraordinary is likely to develop through the good offices of certain contacts. What transpires will have far-reaching effects. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The life span of a rewarding endeavor can be expanded if you seize the opportunity. However, it may take a bit of cooperation from a few of your associates. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If there is something important that you want to discuss with another, the best place to do so would be in a social setting. However, try to lead up to the subject gradually. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Something that could enhance your material interests might develop. It could be quite surprising, but dont waste time being shocked -- act on it immediately. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Some good news that youve longed for might finally arrive. If this is the case, chances are itll come sometime after lunch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Instead of trying hard to make things happen, youd be wise to let events take their natural course. Besides, youre likely to do better when youre not in the drivers seat.
