IN THE STARS

- with HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES

If you have the privilege of knowing someone very young, the under 8 set will be especially wise and wonderful teachers today. (Though their methods are unorthodox, to say the least.)

TAURUS

Spend more time with people who live the way you want to live. This isn’t always possible in your immediate environmen­t, but you can make it happen in your mind through reading and study.

GEMINI

Friction is the enemy of connection. Movement doesn’t help either. To glue two pieces together, you have to hold them still in one place long enough for the bond to set. People are like this, too.

CANCER

For one as sensitive as you, it’s hard to imagine how some people have zero empathy. You vividly sense the feelings of others. In fact, today, you won’t know where theirs end and yours begin.

LEO

Your message is genuine. You may decide to use different words to be better understood. The wise use language to communicat­e well, while the foolish use their literary education to alienate and impress.

VIRGO

Read the room. If this isn’t a good audience for you, find a different one. It’s harder to feel good about what you have to offer when you’re around people who don’t give it the value it deserves.

LIBRA

The main difference between gambling and business is the odds. Today, all the business you do will come with some degree of risk, but not all of it will qualify as a gamble.

SCORPIO

There are questions you thought you answered years ago that have somehow sprouted into a hardier variety. You can’t come to terms with this in a day, but start digging and eventually you’ll root it out.

SAGITTARIU­S

Whether your opinion happens to be in line with the majority or the minority doesn’t really matter. What matters is that it feels right to you and that you’re not too worried about who else agrees.

CAPRICORN

No one can tell a wildflower where to grow. It can pop right through pavement if it wants. Something in you is similarly unstoppabl­e. It may not be the season yet, but it’s curled up, gathering strength.

AQUARIUS

You’ve seen too much of life to have a strictly sunny outlook. You know the shadow is there, and you’re not afraid to peer into the dark. But, you don’t let the darkness seduce you, either.

PISCES

This thing pitting you against yourself has to last a lifetime. As with any long-term relationsh­ip, it can be a real slog. Drop the adversaria­l stance and commit to being a better friend to yourself.
