	Make some minor adjustments to your appearance this March, Cancer, and chase away the winter blues. Even a simple alteration like, say, a new lipstick can lighten your mood.

	You’re in the money this March, Virgo, at long last. But spend it wisely! Normally, you are a great saver but I know you are in the mood to splurge, so compromise by buying something in good taste that won’t break the bank.
