HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Is it easier to see with your eyes closed? Maybe. Try it. Moments of quiet, still and very awake shut-eye could yield life-changing results. Of course, there are many ways to meditate that involve open eyes, too. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Forceful improvement? That’s not really a thing. Improvements are made through tinkering, reinvention, starting over from scratch, refinement and many other ways. Force isn’t one of them.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Things will settle themselves. When you believe this, you can relax and stop trying to game the situation. There’s no way to play this, so stop analysing and just let it be. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Like that of a jazz artist or comedian, some of your best work will be what happens when you’re riffing. You have a talent for turning a random mix of materials into a beautiful, if abstract, sort of order.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Chances are you will not end up with your intended result regarding production. But at the end of the day, it will be about how much you love, not about how much you do. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): For those who cannot bring themselves to forgive, reconciliation may still be possible. There are other ways to find balance, peace and harmony. One can accept what is without forgiving what was. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your perception of the outside world is a reflection of your inside world, and the reverse is true. You can set a tone or bring a mood with you but you’re never completely responsible for the way things turn out. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Treating yourself better isn’t about a skin cream or massage. Those things are nice, but they won’t stop the pain caused by speaking unkindly to yourself with your inside voice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It will feel as though life is trying to make an important point, but don’t let anyone else tell you what point that is, because it’s what’s important to you – and what you think it is – that really matters. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your giving heart will not feel fully satisfied until you know you have made a difference. But to really help out, you must be wise enough to know when your help won’t help. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Once you place your trust, why not keep it there awhile and see what happens? Relationships get deeper and more meaningful with time. Give everyone a chance to settle in and get comfortable. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Someone longs to be listened to and taken seriously, and you’ll provide that – not because you’re doing anyone a service but because you are genuinely curious about people and value what they say.
