Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You hear what you want to hear today. However, your hope for healing may be exaggerated as you add meaning to random words that fall on deaf ears. It’s not your effort that’s faulty, but assuming reality will always conform to your best-case scenarios is a risky position. You might be annoyed because whoever is the boss makes the rules. However, you are the only one in charge of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stepping forward, however slowly, exceeds many people’s expectations. Whether someone accuses you of being stubborn or lazy, you can prove them wrong. Your success stems from your innate ability to build upon previous structures. Even if you’re not a revolutionary, you personify the strength that gives people hope. Although you might feel the pressure to perform at your best now, it helps to remember that you have withstood worse.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Twin ideas breed multiple threads of conversations and you are in your element when carrying on simultaneous discussions. Although you bounce around fast enough that it appears you’re keeping up with each topic, your easy-breezy approach enables you to avoid real depth without anyone realizing you are only swimming in the shallow end. Thankfully, you are not limited by your previous behavior. You aren’t required to actively pursue every distraction or follow each detour.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): An exhilarating sense of liberation lifts your spirits when you realize that the words of others do not need to limit your thinking. Your normal response to an authority figure might be to accept reality as described by them. Although there are rules of law to follow and social conventions to respect, no one can prevent you from connecting ideas outside of the defined box. Look beyond what you thought possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Although many people seek the middle ground because it produces less waves, you’re more intrigued now by the extremes. You want the excitement and the recognition that goes along with being in the spotlight, and you’re unwilling to settle for less. There are times when the center is the safest, but this isn’t one of them. Aim for the outer edge of your potential. Stick with your vision and you will likely prevail.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Striving for harmony in relationships is often easier said than done. An inequality in net worth can tilt a relationship out of balance now. But debts are not a true measure of your worth. Too many times your worry directs you to focus on the wrong things. Thankfully, you can change your thinking by shifting your frame of reference from financial prosperity to spiritual and emotional wealth. Helping the vulnerable and the voiceless can be far more valuable than hoarding a pile of cash in the bank.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rise above the fray. You need not know the challenges of the fight. Although too many obstacles pollute the ground, you have the option to take the road less traveled by blowing away the barriers to what you once believed to be possible. Often, remaining in familiar territory makes sense, but your calculated risks are rewarded today. Those things you think implausible are not only practical now; they are your best bet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your imagination is a source of endless creativity. It’s as if you are handed a cosmic permission slip to try the untried for the sheer sake of fun. You can envision numerous ways to approach your chores today, even if you habitually do them in the same order. Oddly enough, you’re less interested in sharpening your efficiency than in adding a sense of freshness to your daily routine. Currently, there is no penalty for wasting a bit of time on a method that may prove unproductive in the long run.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Break out of the cage and rattle the drum. Do something creative, but don’t look back to see if anyone is watching you or following your lead. Although freedom comes with a cost, your dreams of redemption morph into random thoughts about escape. Trusting in your visions and believing in your worth is a good place to begin. But your sincere intentions are not enough to produce the tangible rewards you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What was routine is now sacred. However, even the most precious parts of your life must adapt to the changing circumstances, requiring you to leave behind what was once immutable and vital. Your lack of attachment to those things you cherish stands as a shining example for your peers.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Friends and relatives may be eager to spend time with you today. On the surface, it appears that there are no ulterior motives aside from wishing to hang out in your company. However, the plot thickens when you realize that not everyone is sharing what’s on their minds. Don’t let your annoyance with someone’s secret agenda become an issue now. Closing your heart serves no one if your help or advice is needed. Do your magic by creating safe space that gives others permission to lean on you for support.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): Intriguing ideas for increasing your income capture your mental bandwidth today. Unfortunately, you are tempted to rush ahead and pursue your fortune before you consider whether or not your plan is doable. A brilliant concept can be impossible to manifest if it’s not grounded in realistic planning. Nevertheless, where there is a will there is usually a way, especially if you can tether your fantasies with pragmatism while putting your concepts into practice.
