Horoscope: March 24

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll be in demand, and even more so when you seem busy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Loved ones ask for nothing; you give them everything because you’re feeling flush and you enjoy being generous in the extreme.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Know your exceptional qualities. You’ll be celebrated for them, but if you don’t know what they are, you’ll think all the attention is misplaced.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): New alliances, particularly with earth signs Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, will help you get a project off the ground.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The giddy feeling of new love is featured -- but this is not about a romantic relationship with a person. You are enraptured by a project and excited about its prospects.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll offer to assist someone who will be resistant to your help. Pride is the main reason.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A tense situation suddenly feels manageable. You can and will handle this with small and certain actions.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your value is not dependent on how many people are “friending” you on a social networking site -- or in real life, for that matter.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An impromptu strategy will be even more effective than one you took hours and days to plan out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): People will want to hang out with you, but you’re not in a “hanging out” kind of mood. It’s just that you’d prefer to go to bed tonight knowing you accomplished something tangible.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Magical connections will override any scheduling or communication difficulties that may crop up.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be inspired by complexity -- good thing, since there’s lots of it around you.

Today’s birthday (March 24): Things get simple for you. You cut out a lot of mess, confusion and wasted time by getting down to basics. You realize what you want to create and make it happen. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 34, 30 and 14.
