Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are bursting at the seams with energy, while also feeling the need to exercise caution and discipline in public. You yearn to express yourself without hindrance, yet a little voice whispers to hold off. You do not have all the information you need, so it might be wise to consult a dear colleague or another person unrelated to the issue.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your secrets are safe, and also dangerously at the top of your mind. Paradoxically, the more you try to keep a lid on them, the more they strive to seep out. You can’t help but wonder if some of the best literature and film was inspired by hidden stories that needed to be told. Authors can bury truths inside fictions, which might be a strategy that works for you now. If you are not a writer, getting lost in someone else’s drama may take your mind off your own. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An eccentric person in your life teaches you useful new ways to communicate, almost through osmosis. Spending time with inventive people always catalyzes change, but not always change you can control. Nothing brings you more joy than gathering novel quirks, turns of phrase, and fascinating facts. Thankfully, you get them end masse today. The tricky part will be remembering all the clever ideas, or at least the ones you want to be remembered by. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are in high demand today. Part of you works to maintain and expand your public persona while unanticipated events cause you to exert more elbow grease than usual. Another part of you strives to deepen your personal interactions, which takes up considerable energy as well. Hardly any time is left for anything else. Healthy relationships of all kinds keep you busy and happy. Your attempt to sustain these connections pays off with deep dividends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pragmatic concerns draw you back to reality, leaving your daydreams by the wayside. As difficult as it may be to stick with a less-than-exciting task, persistence promotes your position. However, you enjoy a variety of colorful people in your personal life. There is never a dull moment when you surround yourself with nonconformists. Someone close to you injects your world with a surprise; any monotone rhythms shatter, leaving delight in their wake. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your ambition to leave a mark on the world fuels your approach to determine why something ticks. Although you care less about getting to the bottom of the issue now, you wish to do so in the most pioneering manner. Your social life may be suffering, but you find the mastery of this endeavor brings you another flavor of pleasure. Review and expand any notes you have kept since they will be key to the next discovery. Your insatiable curiosity is ready to roll. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Treat yourself to a diversion or two. If all your activities have too much purpose, you may eventually burn yourself out. Having fun for its own sake is essential to give your mind a break. Take yourself out on the town, go on a date, visit a museum, or see a movie. If you think about it, choosing to do something for no reason is actually still a reason. Living out a paradox ignites you like nothing else. Joy is portable; bring it with you everywhere you go. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You chip away at the old block, and quietly get impatient with the people around you. Before doing anything else today, concentrate on your own communication habits. Ask yourself if you have ever brought up the behaviors that contribute to the buildup of your resentment. If someone has no idea they are doing something wrong, they cannot fix it. And you can't expect anyone to read your mind. Envision clearing the air, and you may find that you take steps to actually do so.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Frugal times do not necessitate getting frugal on fun. Stretch your dollar to the max in the pursuit of happiness. Contact a sibling or a close friend, and immerse yourself in their world today. Find out how they define amusement and leisure. You may be shocked to realize that you have been overlooking an innovative approach which was in front of you all along. Open your heart to being guided, and see how exciting life can be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Putting your affairs in order leads to an overdue breakthrough now. You find access to resources that enable you to suddenly advance a longstanding, stalled matter. For example, you may be dealing with finally finishing a problematic home improvement project or settling an outstanding disagreement that previously seemed insurmountable. Thankfully, your inner resolve carries you far in establishing a fresh sense of peace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Distractions abound as you weave your way through the day. Your lack of sustained attention may have something to do with a haunting old stress lurking on the sidelines. Rather than dealing with this sensitive topic and depleting yourself, your energies dissipate in other ways. A strange encounter nudges you toward a personal insight about liberty and rebellion. Luckily, you can apply what you glean to assuage the lingering issue after all. Oddly enough, the answers you need arrive when you stop looking for them. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): Your social network condenses as flighty contacts flee and triedand-true friendships deepen. The question of trust stands at the core of the refinements in your social sphere. Superficiality cannot sustain you any longer. A mystical message echoes from afar or from a book, awakening a vision of how to celebrate your own value. As you deepen your appreciation for your best friends, you also deepen an appreciation for yourself. Love ripples in all directions.
