March Design Horiscopes
PiscesSymbolized by the Fish, you're a Piscean who's fishing for something extra this month—accolades. You want the limelight and you're tired of sitting in the back row. Take center stage and show off your latest design work. Ignore jealous bystanders and give yourself top billing. Go ahead, talk the talk and walk the walk. But like all good fish, you might have to swim if you end up in hot water. AriesThere's some tension this month on your design team. Your creative director is wound tighter than a bad Hollywood facelift. Confrontations are anti-productive. Use your self-reliance and avoid direct communication until things simmer down around the 17th. A few large gulps of foamy green St. Patty's Day beer should loosen up most of that unpleasant work-related stress. TaurusSpring fever has taken an early hold on your mind and body, making you restless and excited this month. The urge to flee the claustrophobic confines of your design cubicle and run outdoors is overpowering. You want to feel a fresh breeze stroke your hair, hear a bird chirp a melody and catch the sun's rays on your face. But all those desires are put on hold because you have project meetings and you want a paycheck. GeminiMars is in your sign this month but there's a Milky Way chocolate bar in your desk drawer. Watch out for those sugar rush urges. You think those temporary sugar highs make you more creative but they might have just the opposite effect and make you listless. Find some true motivation this month to help you cope with the onslaught of design projects. Remember—you want inspiration, not indigestion. CancerYou're surrounded by others' moody behavior this month that borders on crankiness. Must be something in the water or maybe they missed the latest airing of their favorite reality show. Either way, don't let their choppy attitudes hike your stress levels or make you overemotional. Communicate with them via e-mail and avoid face-to-face situations. It's counter-creative to have to walk on eggshells. LeoYou're struggling with a design concept for a book cover this month and who can blame you? Trying to be creative for a book with the mind numbing title, "Deterministic Algorithms in Problematic Randomness" is enough to make you sign up for a weekend of transcendental meditation. Plead for a source of inspiration on this one and perhaps toss it up in a design forum. But don't be surprised if you're waved away like secondhand smoke. VirgoListen to your ruling and career planet Mercury before accepting a new position with a competing agency. Its retrograde movement this month might be telling you this position is a step in the wrong direction, or worse, a step backwards! Virgos are very analytical. Make sure you use that trait and examine all your options before you make a career-altering decision. You want to make more money but moving from graphic design to latrine maintenance is not the best way to clean up. LibraIf you engage in some St. Patty's Day libation with a client this month, make sure you stay in control and don't let beer do your talking. Professionalism can quickly turn into a slurring, sloppy, embarrassing mess after one too many cold ones are sucked down with wild abandon. Before you know it, you're making promises you cannot keep, offering to do projects for next to nothing and then wondering a week later how you got stuck taking care of a client's screaming, bratty kids for a weekend ScorpioMarch will come in like a crazed lion for you with numerous projects and tight, unreasonable deadlines. You'll be married to the job for most of this month until you get a break around the 27th. Until then, early mornings and late nights at the office will put a painful cramp in your social life. On the brighter side, when March comes in like a lion, it usually goes out like a lamb. But beware of April. It comes in like a fool. SagittariusYour Sagittarian over-optimism is in high gear this month as you make plans to enter your projects in a number of design contests. Some of those entry fees can set you back a few hundred dollars but it's money well spent if you get lauded and rewarded for your work. Fierce competition makes it difficult to win one of those things. However, if you don't mind rejections, losing money and long odds, there are always state lottery games. CapricornThere's an air of change in the workplace this month Cap. The change might be in company ownership; or it might be in managerial positions; or it might be in personnel on your creative team. Then again, it might just be a change in the office background music or a new hairstyle on another designer. If it is a designer's hairdo change, pray now that it's the one whose spiky-striped hair makes her look like she's sitting under a zebra. AquariusSharpen your verbal skills this month. You might have to present a concept for an ad campaign around the 24th that a client has requested. Your company wants to land this juicy contract and the pressure is on you to make it happen. Stay focused and outwardly confident, even if internally you are as jiggly as gelatin mold in an earthquake. Avoid opening your presentation with, "Okay, dude, we have an awesome idea here that's gonna, like, blow the roof off this joint!"
