Daily Horoscope: Aries

Sometimes things have to fall apart before they can come back again. It's not unlike a bone that needs to be rebroken in order to heal properly.

You're tempted to sidestep a confrontation, but don't. You need to protect your interests before things get worse.

You may not see yourself as a role model, but you are. Your unique blend of straight shooter, coach, and willingness to race to a loved one's rescue makes you someone that people want to emulate.

The Mars/Pluto square brings a confrontation. You may be in the weaker position, but you'll prevail as long as you don't yield the field. Stay put and the big bad wolf will run out of breath.

It's a good time to think about what you want in the future. Don't wait on circumstances. They shouldn't define what's in your best interest.
