Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life becomes complicated today because it appears youre expected to deepen your involvement in a cause, project or relationship, which you are secretly hoping to deemphasize. But rather than turning this difference of perspective into an outright conflict, a smarter strategy is to stick to your position and wait until tomorrow for the dynamics to begin to change. Your powerful sense of urgency can be your superpower at times, but now its your Kryptonite. Dont weaken your stance by prematurely engaging in an impassioned discussion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Paradoxically, turmoil is best avoided by staying in the center of a storm, rather than trying to outrun it. The eye of a hurricane is eerily still because there is always stability when you are motionless, no matter how fast the winds are swirling around you. Thankfully, your saving grace is your ability to remain invulnerable to outside circumstances when you are steadfast in your determination. However, be wary of taking your firm convictions too far. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your agenda is uncharacteristically etched into stone today, and youre not likely to change it. Your insistence on doing things your way might surprise others, especially if your recent flexibility has led them to believe otherwise. But its not your job to do the expected; its to be true to yourself. Demonstrate your productivity by setting your mind on a goal and keeping your eye on the prize until you reach it. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There is no question about your motives today. You know what you want and have a plan to get it. However, others may find you so opaque they havent a clue as to what youre doing or why youre doing it. Although you prefer support from the beginning, it might make more sense now to just go ahead on your own and bring everyone else up to speed in a day or two. Becoming entangled in explanatory conversations will only sap your limited energy away from what needs to be done first. Theres time for everything if you proceed with tasks in the proper order. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): No matter how much you normally like being the star of the show, your energy is more internally directed today. Your coworkers might express their concern that something is wrong, but this only exacerbates the alienation because it motivates you to pull further away. Fortunately, you can nip this problem in the bud by simply letting others know that youre in an introspective mood now and youll tell them when youre ready to reengage with the outer world. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may lose patience with people who appear to be purposelessly wandering through your world today. Meanwhile, youre on a mission and not interested in being distracted by anyone else, especially someone without an obvious goal. Youre at the top of your organizational game now, so make the most of your ability to singularly focus while the planets are conspiring on your behalf. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be a bit on the stingy side today, but it is your most sensible strategy now. It serves you well to make sure you dont run short on your limited resources. Naturally, creating a budget is an easier task when theres ample cash flow to cover all expenses. Review your priorities before you make any major decisions about discretionary expenditures. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might remain more moderate in your reactions today if you could place a surge protector between you and the outer world. The emotional surf grows wilder and cosmic currents are amplified by the evocative Moons return to your passionate sign. Rather than expending energy by resisting change now, your ability to roll with the incoming waves ultimately strengthens your resolve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may go out of your way to stifle your emotions today because youre afraid of succumbing to their power. You prefer the world of fiery inspiration and choose to swing into action instead of being overwhelmed by your feelings. But even if you surrender to your subjectivity, you still wont reveal your fears to anyone else now. Keep in mind that your concerns about losing objectivity are only justified if you truly believe the head rules the heart -- but it does not. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): No one can pull a fast one on you today because your senses are like a finely tuned lie detector. Theres no reason to explain how you know something is amiss; you can simply feel it in your belly. Nevertheless, avoid jumping to a conclusion just because it supports your previous point of view. Go through the motions of gathering the facts now. Ask plenty of questions, following your intuition as you go. But when it comes time to make your decision known, dont hesitate. Listen to your gut and speak from your heart. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are relentless in the pursuit of success today and you dont want anything or anyone to stand in your way. However, if you encounter resistance, you arent afraid to wield your power as needed. Although it might be tempting to demonstrate your capabilities, you wont likely make as much progress if you respond to an obstacle with brute force. Instead, use your ingenuity to save the day, for its what you do best. Steve Jobs said, If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): You are passionate about a new idea but might not be ready to put your plan into motion yet. Your vision of the future is a primary driving force in your life now. You believe that you can accomplish nearly anything, but you dont want to blow the current opportunity by acting prematurely. Dont waste energy second-guessing your sense of timing. Remember that holding your ground is also a form of action. Tom Petty wrote, The waiting is the hardest part.
