#HOROSCOPES

The new, more efficient way of doing things won’t seem, at first, to be efficient at all, but in the long run, the time, money and energy saved will be far greater. Bear with the transition marked by these first Venus retrograde days.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

You are gracious and social even when you don’t feel like dealing with people. Somehow doing it anyway just puts you right in the mood and, as a direct result, good things happen for you.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Don’t underestimate the power of feeling liked. Even people who profess not to care if others like them may very much appreciate a sign of your acceptance.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21)

Should you stick with what you know, or make a switch? That’s the juncture you’ll come to today, and both paths have pros and cons. Truthful testimonials and recommendations will help you decide.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22)

Since what you say always reflects what’s going on inside you, the easiest way to say the right thing is to be the right thing. You may need to sort through some feelings and get clarity. It will step up your conversational game.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

The competitor with nothing to lose will surpass the one who has to make a strategic choice about what to risk — an important consideration in today’s proceedings.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

It’s the little ways a person shows you that they are paying attention that will go straight to your heart and turn someone into your favourite in an instant.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23)

The best way is not to compare yourself to anyone. But since that’s also a very unrealistic expectation of yourself today, then at least compare yourself to an example that is both attainable and worthy of you.

SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21)

How can you make things clearer to the most amount of people with the least amount of cost, trouble or time? The answer may be in a sign. A message built for all to read saves you having to whisper to each person.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You’re always training people. Each interaction is training. It never ends. Give a thought to what you’re teaching. Specifically, how you’re teaching people to treat you.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You’re handling a lot of responsibility today but you also don’t need to take it so seriously. Keep your perspective and your humour and you’ll stay relaxed enough to handle anything that comes up.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Set an expectation early on about what you’d like to see happen. Otherwise, no one will know quite what to do and you’ll wind up with all the frustrations of a cat-herder.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You’ll have the pleasure of getting to know someone through teamwork on a project. It’s the best way to learn what people are all about, and it will be a very accurate picture of what future work and play together will be like.
