Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): On the surface, everything appears to be copacetic, but there may be a tempest brewing out of sight. You can pretend to be innocent and focus only on what is pleasant today, but failing to acknowledge the tension wont prevent it from making itself known. Luckily, you have the power to turn an uncomfortable feeling into a catalyst that deepens a relationship instead of destabilizing it. The key to transformation is communication. Mutual respect and trust means that nothing of potential significance is off limits for discussion. The more you talk, the less it hurts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might sense that something isnt quite right in a relationship at work. Relying on the familiarity of routine is often enough to put your anxious thoughts to rest. Unfortunately, the status quo is not your friend today because it allows an untreated trivial wound to fester. Thankfully, addressing the problem when you first notice it -- however minor it may seem -- prevents it from becoming more serious. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your attempts to take a relationship to the next level may lead you through rough terrain today. Normally, you might turn back at the first signs of difficulty, but youre empowered now by your unrelenting quest to be seen and acknowledged by someone you love. Since communication is a two-way street, a conversation thats built upon honesty can clear a path directly to the heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You dont necessarily want to go over an emotional waterfall; you wish you could find an easier way to reach the calmer waters down below as you struggle to find your voice in a relationship. Unfortunately, a more circuitous route might lead you so far off course that you get lost before you realize it. Fortunately, youre much tougher than you think and have little to fear except your own apprehension. Jump into the swiftly moving rapids and let your feelings flow as they will. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are hoping to avoid an intense exchange with someone who appears to be exercising too much control over your life. You wish you didnt need to set such firm boundaries now, but it seems to be the only way to maintain your autonomy. Misplaced negativity could sideswipe an already impassioned interaction today, making a difficult conversation even worse. Nevertheless, you can avert a crisis with kindness rather than anger. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are motivated to initiate a dialogue about a very sensitive topic today, because you are so positive about your position that youre willing to take on anyone. Although you might even believe youre invincible, powerful feelings are unleashed and you are not immune to their effects. You assume you can cling to your objectivity now, but you are quickly swept up in a whirlpool of emotions. The more you resist, the stronger the current. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are quick to offer to act as the mediator in a domestic disagreement today. Although it hurts your heart when people are in conflict, you are eager to step in to reduce the emotional tension through diplomatic means. However, the discord runs deep now and a lasting resolution may demand more than just discussing the differences. Sooner or later you must accept that the problem is not yours. Do what you can to broker a peace agreement and then leave the process to those who are directly involved. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are strongly opinionated today, and your passion could act as a lightning rod that attracts an unsolicited argument. You believe someone is purposefully trying to pick a fight, but you wont have any part in it. You might put on a happy face, thinking you can smile your way around a conflict, but the more you hide your true feelings, the stronger they grow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your friends might say the nicest things to you today, but you are suspicious of their hidden agendas. No matter how you try to reframe their compliments, alarms are ringing and causing you concern. However, youre hesitant to broach the topic because you dont want to appear as if youre paranoid. Nevertheless, its not in your best interest to stay silent now. Find a way to start a conversation without making accusations or blaming anyone else. If deeper issues show up, follow the thread. If nothing surfaces, forget about it and move on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):You may think that others are taking you for granted today. You wish your contributions were recognized and appreciated more often. Ironically, your needy behavior could be the cause of your apparent invisibility as you try harder than ever to be noticed. People might be put off by your pushy approach, choosing to withdraw from engaging with your energy now. Just go about your work without any fanfare and watch as you gain status among your peers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Youre faced with a conundrum today as youre tempted to participate in a group activity while simultaneously wanting to escape. You long for a deep connection with your peers and wish to pursue current opportunities to develop meaningful relationships. However, an inner voice tells you to step back from the crowd now, warning you about the possibility of losing your individual identity in the process of joining a team. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): A social cause could catch your attention and reel your heart in before you know it. You might not be aware of how significantly your involvement will impact your life until its too late. Nevertheless, you can justify your actions with your commitment to following a higher calling. Unfortunately, a conflict between your immediate desires and your long-term goals makes you unsure of your decision.
