Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19):You bring a lot to the table for your friends or teammates, but it seems like youre not receiving as much in return now. You might be feeling a mounting frustration over not getting your just desserts. You can let your tension increase until you explode today, leaving everyone rattled and confused. Or you can carefully reevaluate whether you are, indeed, being handed the short shrift of a deal. If so, be creative about negotiating, not just demanding, a solution.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):You have a strong desire to defend your turf, but you dont want to be completely obvious about it. Its not your style to appear ruffled or threatened by anyone else's actions, but you might feel the need to fight back today. Your first step is to determine if someones truly disrespecting you or if you are being extra sensitive and protective of your ego. You can tell the difference if youre more worried about your self-image than honoring your ideals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Your ambitious drive kicks into high gear today. Mighty Mars soars into your 10th House of Achievement and advancing your own goals becomes a top priority. However, you might feel touchier and moodier, possibly responding with a tad more ire than necessary. Instead of overreacting, use your emotional sensitivity to tune into how you can champion more for those needing your help.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may feel an extra-strong connection today to people who share your ideals and beliefs. You are eager to demonstrate a commitment to your principles by donating your time or money. If you put your energy into the cause, you might find the bonding experience extremely rewarding. However, your new alliance with others could highlight your previous loneliness. Thankfully, your sense of isolation can be overcome by seizing this moment to do even more to put your values into action.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):Youre keenly aware of what it takes to excel, but you might entertain doubt if you have the right stuff for success. Self-questioning isnt only about whether something is true or false; its also a moment when youre truly open to all possibilities, including falling short of your goals. Some dreams are worth the gamble. Be courageous and face your fears.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might need to clear the air with a person in your intimate circle. But you aren't completely comfortable engaging in a direct confrontation, even though your awkward interactions have likely been brewing for a while. Nevertheless, honesty is the best policy. Otherwise, you both can become embroiled in passive-aggressive behavior that doesnt benefit anyone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Finding your rhythm may pose a challenge, especially if youre vacillating between feeling energetic and drained now. You want to do everything, then nothing at all. Somehow, you remain consistently optimistic in your thinking. Conserve your resources and your energy will adjust its own level as you allow yourself to mellow into the day, like steeping flavorful tea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Your confidence is high today, and your creativity is at a peak. Nevertheless, youre not inclined to put your skills to work for an employer when you could enhance your domestic life, instead. However, you may be away from home for most of the day, so do whatever you can to improve your surroundings wherever you go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):You might be more high-strung than youre willing to admit to anyone now. Thankfully, you possess a surplus of energy to accomplish your work, but youre not entirely clear on what to do next. You may come off moody and unpredictable to others today, which tempts you to step away from the group. Don't get trapped in a corner of your own making.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):Your social calendar appears chock full as your friends seek you out for company, insight, or both. You often prefer to move about with a well-defined plan and a clear sense of purpose, so suddenly being in high demand might catch you off guard now. Instead of struggling to control all the logistics, just let your energy flow naturally. Resistance is unnecessary today; you will rediscover the brakes soon enough. Spontaneity is sweet when you just relax and enjoy the ride.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):You are driven to increase your self-worth today. In fact, you might be determined to spend money to make money while muscular Mars stimulates your 2nd House of Resources. The key is allocating your cash with a strategic eye. Think of yourself as more of an investor, appraising whatever you purchase as something that must garner a good return on your initial outlay. The truth is you dont need the fanciest or most expensive items when your ultimate goal is self-improvement.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20):The time for dreaming is over and youre ready for action. Youre eager to lead the pack when take-charge Mars storms into your 1st House of Identity. However, you could be in too much of a hurry to make things happen overnight. Think like a ninja, fulfilling your dreams by practicing stealth, patience, and determination. Others will marvel at how much you achieve while making it all look effortless. Sometimes, magic is invisible to the untrained eye.
