HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): It’s so important to try new things. Today, it’s lucky to do this with someone you trust. Tackling fresh experiences together will create a tight bond.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Selfabsorption is a state of fear. The trepidation may be mild in variety, a low current of worry that the world is not safe for us. Therefore it’s best to tend to what is known.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Do you walk around this fair thinking, “I’ve ridden all the rides I want to?” You’re missing something. Either you ruled it out as too scary or too mild when, in fact, there’s a thrill inside that’s just your size. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): This is the cosmic opportunity of the day: If you did it once, you can do it again. And if you haven’t done it, you’re due. Believe it, and make your move.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Remember that time you followed someone just to make that person feel good about his or her choice? It was big-hearted, but you won’t need to go that far today to make people feel good.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Don’t worry; you will be something better than you were before. And this mistake? It’s not a setback. It’s the mechanism through which improvement is made possible. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): To forward your personal journey, you’ll have to ditch a lot of the bad. And now you’ll get even stricter with yourself, only because you want certain results that take sacrifice. You’re ready.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your role requires you to live in your head more than you’d like to, reviewing possibilities, testing things mentally. Take breaks to stay fresh. This one is important. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re losing perspective on how special you are. To give yourself credit isn’t narcissistic; it’s the spiritual generosity that helps you be more kind today. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): To understand others takes emotional wit, social cleverness and a better than average awareness. To understand yourself takes these things plus courage and acceptance.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Do you ever wonder what sort of peace you’d experience through a day without talking? Things will change with even a few quiet hours. Silence is a teacher. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): For primates, the standard is to reject or, attack, anyone outside the group. For humans, inclusion is often the very reason the group thrives. There’s much to absorb from those who are different from us.
