HOROSCOPES
It’s decision time, and the Scorpio moon consults with Jupiter then Mercury, and finally there’s a dance with Neptune. When something big hangs in the balance, the decision will seem easier — almost like fate is guiding your hand and you cannot help but point in any other direction but the one that is your heart. Small decisions will be harder.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll slip into your zone. The frame of mind that comes with this allows you to be quick, masterful and impervious to any obstruction that would stop a less powerful operator.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Trust isn’t an all-or-nothing game. It’s about learning a person’s nature to know what you can expect. Observation is the way. You’ll ask a seemingly innocuous and open-ended question and then back off to see what’s revealed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a relationship that’s taking your focus now. The two of you are like porcupines in the snow. You need warmth but must keep a certain distance. You’ll find the balance.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have no agenda and are not looking for what you can get out of a situation. You’re simply there to help in whatever way you can, and because of this, you will be able to help many.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Remember when you experienced an instant attraction to someone you didn’t know, and then you got to know the person and watched the attraction erode? It could go another way this time, though. You’ll have to say hello and find out.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). New aspirations will form in your mind and heart. Bits of brainstorms will align. Disparate ideas will bond to make plausible ones. All that chaotic, random energy bouncing around crystalizes into a real thing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Since you already know what you think, you’ll try other people’s opinions and viewpoints on for size. This will increase your capacity for empathy and your power, too, since it’s easier to influence those you truly understand.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those who will give before you ask, and in ways you never expected. It’s not really a favorable dynamic now, as some contributions come with too much attached to them. Besides, you want to make your own way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If there were a multiple-choice test on your life right now, you’d be bubbling in a lot of answers like “None of the above” and “All of the above,” as big groups of events seem to be either happening or not happening.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It happens all of the time. Smart people do dumb things. Enlightened people do petty things. Simple people do complicated things. Maybe we should stop labeling people and just accept them and what they do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Excitement and boredom are both states of mind that are inextricably linked to their impermanence. You’ll relax into a deeper understanding of life as you accept what cannot be maintained indefinitely.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Learning is always forward movement, even when what you
are learning seems to stop you from going further. Ask a different question. One good question may very well be all it takes to change everything.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20). Something quiet and small turns into a very successful and perhaps even famous venture. There’s big love coming your way in the weeks to come. Through 2018 make your life easier by dealing with honest people and being one yourself. Travel brings luck, especially a road trip next month. Cancer and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 14, 7 and 30.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Standing in front of the microwave makes the popcorn take forever to pop. Do something to get your mind off of the thing you’re hungry for.
TAURUS: Instead of rushing to define the relationship, try to feel and relate to where it’s at.
GEMINI: Don’t know where the other person is coming from? It’s an opportunity. People are complimented by your curiosity.
CANCER: Someone will be very amenable to exactly the kind of adventures you’re looking for.
LEO: Your natural friendliness will augment your romantic good fortune.
VIRGO: They may give you advice, but it won’t be as perfect for you as your instincts.
LIBRA: Shared laughter is shared love.
SCORPIO: The challenges love presents will be of the unforeseen variety, but this makes for a better story, doesn’t it?
