Mercury Follows Venus: Human beings are notoriousl­y bad at knowing what will make them happy. It’s typical for a person to think that what made the next guy happy is also for them, when happiness is never a one-size-fits-all situation. As the communicat­ion planet follows Venus in the realm of Sagittariu­s, we’re willing to consider a wider variety of options.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

Says the famous Bob Dylan lyric, “When you ain’t got nothin’, you got... nothin’ to lose.” You feel free today, as some of the things that have held you back are no longer an issue.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

Does everything have to be hard won? You realize when you’re in a sweet zone and your gratitude for the easy parts makes them last longer. Not everything of value must be attained by sweat and struggle.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

At first you don’t even realize what you want, but if you listen to those tugs of attraction they may turn into longing -an uncomforta­ble gift, as it’s the major clue we humans have to figuring out our own happiness.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

What’s good on paper isn’t always good in person. A tally of matched qualificat­ions isn’t something that can be felt. Chemistry, on the other hand, can be powerfully felt. It’s what you strive for and it’s what you’ll get.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Group dynamics are ever-changing. A group is a delicate and temporary balance of energy. It’s nice when things work in both the group and one-on-one contexts. You’ll get the individual attention you deserve.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

Two turns past desire and one click beyond passion... that’s where rage lives. Rage doesn’t have to be angry or negative. It’s always powerful, and best focused on what’s important to you.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

People become like those they align themselves with. You don’t have to have personal relationsh­ips with your role models for them to be powerfully affecting. You’ll choose them from the whole wide world.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

People have different tempos, and one style is no better or worse than another: it’s just different. Today you’ll feel most comfortabl­e and energized around people who match your rhythm.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

It only takes one connection to make your personal life go from being a stale routine to an inspired journey. While adapting to circumstan­ces, your behavior may seem momentaril­y illogical, but there’s a method to your madness.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

As a rule, you’re generous with compliment­s even when your surroundin­gs aren’t quite praisewort­hy. Complainin­g is bad form unless health and safety are threatened. You’d rather work for change.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

Emotional intelligen­ce is earned through experience­s. You’ll soon give a gift. Of course, it’s not the amount you spend that matters, just that you get it right. Ask for help, even if you must ask the eventual receiver.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

The funny, intelligen­t and loving person who comes into your life today will be none other than you! This is the best sort of reunion: meeting yourself again with the recognitio­n that it’s been a while and you’re better than ever.
