HOROSCOPE

Double-Fresh Moon: The new moon in Aries is wrapped in the shiny cosmic foil of lunar sextiles, so besides the doublefreshness of the first phase of the moon in the first sign of the zodiac, this moon also has the benefit of being activated by some air sign love from Saturn and Venus. Its message of joyous welcome is like a sky-written birth announcement.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)

The people you’ll deal with aren’t entirely rational. You understand them anyway because neither are you. Also, there’s a good chance that the seemingly illogical equation figures out perfectly on deeper levels.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)

Physical vicinity invokes different rules. Some prefer text and email because they are afraid of being influenced by a face-to-face encounter that is sure to bring more of the real stuff to the table, including empathy.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

Even though you’ve never had a particular experience, your empathic talents allow you to summon the appropriate (if not downright healing) response to another person’s emotional state.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Once you find points of connection between you and another person, you’re off to a beautiful exchange. Before finding those points, you won’t proceed far, so it’s worth looking for them.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

You have a right to ask questions. Anyone who makes you feel otherwise either can’t answer those questions for a lack of knowledge and understanding or is trying to control you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

Friends who are on a superstar trajectory are fun to watch. When the gold dust of big success is in your realm, it rubs off on you, too. This feels like destiny because it is.

CANCER (June 22 to July 22)

You’ll make a proactive and deliberate attempt to achieve an aim that is not achieved by most people. It’s nice when this gets noticed today, but honestly, you’re doing it for the challenge, not the glory.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)

People say and do things to get a reaction but often don’t get the one they wanted. You have a strong instinct for the sort of response people are craving and will deliver it on cue, laying the groundwork for mutual enjoyment.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

Maybe it is not your purpose to incite curiosity and show people less obvious truths, but that is the natural result of your devotion to a meaningful interest that, in some way, pertains to us all.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 23)

Before you ready yourself to battle the day, consider what’s necessary. A moment of neutrality will bring all into harmony. There is beauty in defenselessness; gentleness is the winner that casts no loser.

SCORPIO (October 24 to November 21)

Generic sentiments, however true or well-intended, will fall flat. There’s power in a specific focus and intent with your sharing. Aim your efforts to someone who matters dearly to you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21)

Trusted friends help you get outside of your own head. You’ll talk to people, bounce notions off of them, get their reactions and use that to figure out the weak and strong points of what you’re sharing.
