Daily horoscopes: March 5, 2019

ARIES.

(March 20 - April 19):

"No pain, no gain" is an apt motto for you nowadays. Yes, you've been through more than your fair share of troubles but there's no denying that the prize is still worth it.

TAURUS.

(April 20 - May 20):

What looks like a short-cut will only cut you short in the end. Stick with the tried and true.

GEMINI.

(May 21 - June 20):

Mercury turns retrograde right at a pivotal point.  You're going to have to take it on faith that what doesn't materialize now will at a later date.

CANCER.

(June 21 - July 21):

Make sure you don't create a situation where you wind up catering to the squeaky wheel.  This could create animosity with those who feel taken for granted and deserve better.

LEO.

(July 22 - Aug. 22):

The planet of transactions reverses direction today.  Don't put out any more money until you've collected on all of past debts.

VIRGO.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):

Oh, no!  Mercury turns retrograde.  But it's for your own good.  Instead of relying on your wits, you'll have to follow your heart.

LIBRA.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):

You can't stop someone from doing what s/he wants, but if you try being more lenient then this person won't stray.

SCORPIO.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21):

A desired prize goes to a rival at work.  Let it go.  This has nothing to do with you and your job performance.  It's all about balancing the scales.

SAGITTARIUS.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 20):

You're going through a lean period when you will have to do without the usual amenities.  Belt-tightening now will reap enormous benefits in April.

CAPRICORN.

(Dec. 21 - Jan. 19):

Don't feel guilty pushing back a deadline.  A client may be disappointed, but it's all in service to doing the best job that you can.

AQUARIUS.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 17):

Don't let a friend discourage you.  Just because things didn't work out for this person doesn't mean you'll meet with the same fate.

PISCES.

(Feb. 18 - March 19):

A client or love interest suddenly drops out of sight.  Others would panic, but you know this person will resurface when it's time.
