By Linda C. Black Tribune Media Services Today’s Birthday (March 27). You’ll do best this year playing with a varsity team. Lifelong friendships form while you work to achieve a goal you feel passionate about. Add travel, romance and self-discipline, and leave room for a couple of miracles. This could be one for the record books. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) _ Today is an 8 _ You do best when you’re in a job that serves others. You’re naturally good at protecting people and teaching them to be successful. If you’re not doing something like this, look around. Taurus (April 20-May 20) _ Today is a 5 _ What’s going to win the argument today, emotion or reason? You’d do well to have both. Get the facts to support a cause you feel passionate about. Gemini (May 21-June 21) _ Today is an 8 _ Travel is tempting, but you may not need to go over there to get what you want over here. Make a phone call or punch a few buttons, and have it delivered. Cancer (June 22-July 22) _ Today is a 5 _ Invest in your own education. Learning to do something technical brings out your self-confidence. You’ll soon be able to take on more responsibility. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is an 8 _ Let somebody else be in charge of what gets done and how. Looks like a couple of people you know would like to give it a try. Train them to replace you so that you can advance _ and relax. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is a 5 _ Co-workers may look to you to solve a budget crunch. How can you squeeze blood out of a turnip? Well, you could pray for a miracle. Stranger things have happened. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is a 7 _ Talk about the dreams you want to share and the work that needs to be done. Far from being a burden, with loved ones it’ll be a delight. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today is a 5 _ You know what you like when you see it, but how can you make it at home? Ask a friend who’s in the business to help. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _ Today is an 8 _ Learn more about a topic you find fascinating, and propel yourself to success. A loved one’s support gives you a boost. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _ Today is a 6 _ Everything gets easier as Venus goes into Pisces. Your deficits become your motivation to get imaginative. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today is a 9 _ Don’t broadcast your intentions once your decision is made. Consult your nearest advisors, then do what needs to be done. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today is a 6 _ You can support a caring soul who’s doing an important job. Sending a contribution will help in more ways than you know. ___ ‘copy 2003, TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES INC. Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services.
