HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The first idea that comes to you may indeed be the best one, but come up with more anyway, if only for the thrill of heading into unexplored directions.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): It’s someone’s job to make you think that you need the shiny new thing and that nothing else will substitute for it. Many substitutions, including those you already own, will work fine, if not better, for you today.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Impatience and frustration only arise if you believe things should go according to your wishes instead of just going as they go. To embrace the indifferent aspects of life is a liberation.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The most productive day involves stints of concentrated effort followed by breaks in the fresh air. To skip the breaks makes the journey less enjoyable, and longer, too.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): While emotional energy, like love, may be invisible, to your eye, it animates the physical world quite obviously. You will easily tell how people are feeling, especially when they are trying to hide those feelings.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Daydreaming is anything but a waste of time, though don’t expect concrete ideas to come from it now. Today’s flights of fancy open up the borders for later breakthroughs.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Change one part of the recipe and you have an entirely new recipe. People, like ingredients, behave differently in various combinations. One individual will alter the whole dynamic.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Building a relationship doesn’t always mean adding to it. Oddly enough, the ties will get stronger when you eliminate something – perhaps a formality or an expectation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re not usually a fan of remixes, but in today’s case, it’s a necessity. You’ll be the one rearranging, not because you want to outdo the original but because you need it to fit your purposes better.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ll make even the most disparate elements coincide. You can even find relationships between things that seem to be working at cross-purposes. Conflict won’t scare you. You’ll dance on the tension.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’ve a quirky worldview that could be described as “singular”. You’re unintentionally entertaining, and this works in your favour. Once disarmed, people are so amenable to your suggestions.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You don’t fear the influence of others. You know who you are. It is because your rules for yourself are so firm that you can afford to have an open mind.
