Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may believe everything is moving along according to plan when something happens out of the blue. Paradoxically, you could be the source of the unexpected event that jams the gears of progress. Unfortunately, you might try to blame someone else for the results of your actions, but the sooner you take responsibility for the sudden detour, the quicker youll be able to get your life back on track. Demonstrating integrity is key to your success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You want to be fair-minded when trying to find the source of a current problem at work. Although your approach is fully above board, you might be accused of playing favorites today. Your efforts at diplomacy may soothe some ruffled feathers for a while, but attempting to see things from everyones differing perspectives could backfire in the long run. If youre not making progress, dont be afraid to let your position be known. Being transparent about your subjectivity will lead to a breakthrough faster than playing the role of the diplomat who wants to stop and listen to every point of view. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As much as you believe that your adaptable nature can overcome anyones negativity, you may be in for two surprises. First, no matter how accepting you are of someones opinion, they still seem to be your adversary now. Second, you are more judgmental than you think and everyone but you knows it. Instead of trying to get along with the whole group, examine your heart and speak your truth. The ones who matter the most will likely agree with you. The other ones can still jump into a conversation that could lead to a friendship built upon as yet to be discovered common ground. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The accuracy of your perceptions may be called into question today. But instead of standing up to defend your position, you might just disappear behind your self-protective wall. You are strong enough to fend off nearly any attack; you just dont want to be pulled down into such an unnecessary conflict. Its hard to understand why others cant just accept that your perspective is different from theirs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Communication flows easily today between you and your close friends, but you prefer to avoid unnecessary intensity. However, your drama-free philosophy doesnt cast a wide enough net in which to play out all your dreams. Although you keep the more challenging ideas to yourself, you still attempt to express your most joyful feelings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your week appears to get off to a good start because you dont need to alter your core values to make progress at work. Its as if your job was made for you in this moment in time. Nevertheless, an underlying tension continues to build, especially if your coworkers are not following through with their duties. Although you could try to exert authority over others to force them to live up to their obligations, coercion only brings you unhappiness. Taking a more relaxed approach and lowering your expectations is a smart move now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are quite proud of your ability to remain neutral in a complex situation. You are not lulled into complacency when everyone seems to be working together for a common cause. And youre not pulled off center if someone loses their temper. In fact, your coolness in a hotly charged emotional environment is exactly whats needed today to guide everyone back toward a place of mutual cooperation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The tension between your inner and outer worlds is stretched to the max today as your good intentions meet someones negative judgment. You dont understand why people think youre being overbearing when youre just letting them know how you feel. You might begrudgingly hold back your emotions, but could grow frustrated with the whole situation. Although your first inclination is to show no mercy and tell others the truth exactly as you see it, taking the high road might mean simply walking away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You could be the one who steps beyond the boundaries today. You can sign up for one activity, only to find yourself committed to something entirely different than you imagined. Unfortunately, your longing for where you want to be is louder than the satisfaction you derive from where you are now. Luckily, your peers seem to be supportive of your lofty ambitions, but you still might worry about whether you can keep up with their worldly expectations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Putting your best foot forward makes sense if youre serious about reaching your goals now. However, youre afraid of getting so far ahead that people can no longer follow you. Its more comfortable to be part of the pack today rather than leading it from out in front, even if that means youre not as effective. Fostering team spirit makes everyone a winner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You could be at a critical point in your vacation planning process. The scope of your vision has grown over recent days and now youre worried that you may be biting off more than you can chew. Although it may be foolish to cut back on your itinerary right away, hard decisions must be made. Be sure you have all the information you need to make important choices. Avoid falling into the trap of thinking the destination is more important than any one step. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): Youre not afraid to go off on your own today because you think you can accomplish more when youre not encumbered by anyone else. Whether you believe no one will be able to keep up with you now or, perhaps, that others have different paths to the same goal, you are confident in your course and cannot wait to start. Just remember, a touch of humility allows you to remain emotionally accessible. If circumstances change, asking for help may be your wisest strategy.
