ARIES (March 20 – April 18)
Naturally competitive, you enjoy a good battle of the wits and wills. These sparring matches are really more sporting than they are anything else. However Pluto at the top of your solar horoscope can escalate things without you knowing it so that what starts out as good-natured ribbing devolves into something provocative and hostile. Take a moment to check in that the people laughing with you really are laughing with you on Dec. 16 and that they’re not secretly looking around for a blunt instrument to clobber you over the head with. You can never be too sure when Mars forms a sextile to Pluto.
